WILD W CREEK MINES LOOK
 PROMISING

| w. J. Cassidy, president of the An. chorage-Willow Creek Mining and Milling Company, spent last evening | in Cordoya, where he has many 1 friends. Mir. Cassidy is on trip to the states on business connected with his corporation, Of which our towns man, Captain A. E. Lathrop is the treasurer
 MT. Cassidy is a mining man of many years experience, and located twenty-four claims in the Willow creek district. In these he succeeded in interesting local capital, with the re suit that company was organized and is now prepared to go ahead and develop the property. There are sev- eral exposed lodges and it is proposed to start two tunnels at the base of the mountain about a mile apart and drive them straight into the mountain. These tunnels will be so located as to strike the leads at a depth where the greatest width will have been at tained by the leads and where the greatest values will be found.
 The mines now working in the VII low creek country, although in some cases remarkably rich, are following leads which are only offshoots from the great body of high grade ore which will be found at greater depth.
 It is to strike this ore at a great depth that this company plans to drive tunnels and then work upward on the leads, and it is expected that when the tunnels are in less than 500 feet a mine will be opened which will prove a good producer.
 The new company has been incor- porsted for S2,000.0O0 and the shares have par value of $1 each. For the purpose of development limited am- ount of stock is being sold at twenty five cents 6 share. and we understand local people have already taken near ly $15.O00 worth, thus showing their faith in the proposition.

DOUGLAS WOMAN MURDERED
 IN CRIB

Mystery surrounding the murder of world found dead in her crib, No Is, on Upper Front street, at Juneau, re- mains unsolved, but a number of clues are being followed out, and there is a likelihood that developments will follow soon.
 The coroner's jury which investi- gated the murder, foun da small ham mer, reeking in blood, but could not find the knife with which her throat had been cut.
 The murderer must have committed his bloody deed while in a frenzy of rage. The woman was beaten over the head on both sides, the blood squirting from the wounds with such force as to spatter the walls and cur tains of the windows. Not content with beating the woman over the head five blows were administered on the chest. Then, in another fit of mad HeSSr Lhe muTueFeF LOOK out all eA- cedingly sharp knife, slashed the throat one ear and nose.
 After finishing his crime the mur- derer went to a wash stand and washed the blood off his hands and arms. The officers working on the case are mystified in the rifling of trunk and leather coin receptacles The latter were slashed at the bot tom; why is a mystery, as the con tents could have been poured out from the tops.

Wick. Makes Gain in Second.

NOME, Dec 21.-The complete elec- ton returns from the Second divi- sion give Wickersham S99 and Sulzer GIT. This includes the vote at Utica, where Wickersham received 13 and Sulzer 4, and by this plurality the pre- sent delegate overcomes Sulzers lead of 9 which he was credited with in the territory.
 Some claim that the election at Utica was irregular, as the commits sioner at Candle failed to establish a precinct there, but the miners decided that they could not make the trip to the nearest polls, twenty-six miles away, so they organized an election board, cast their votes in the pre- scribed form and sent in the returns to the commissioner. Attorneys here do not believe that the legality of this election can be questioned under the circumstances.
 The fate of one of the candidates from the Second division to the ter ritorial legislature hangs on the re- suit of the Utica vote. The returns from Utica give Philip Corrigan. De mocrat majority of eleven votes over Judge T. NJ. Reed Republican, Outside of this precinct Reed had a lead of ten votes in the division and Utica makes Corrigan the winner over the Republican by a single vote.

 Ever since the early returns came in. showing Sulzer leading by sub stantial vote, the drift has been to- ward Wickersham, and the remark, able part of it has been that 1t has not been in new precincts reporting, but upon the checking up of the vote.
