In district court on Wednesday afternoon of last week Carl Sel- berg entered I plea of guilty to the charge of illegal voting contained against him by the grand jury.

 The case of Hal Bailey. also ac- cused by the grand jury of the crime of illegal voting, was also brought up n court. Mir. Bailey pleaded not guilty, but, as stated by his attorney. the reason he did so was to ascertain his status as citizen of the United States, if such thing is possible. His trial has been set to follow the Callahan case.
 Before his client was sentenae Attorney John A. Clark explained to the court the circumstances un, der which M-. Selberg had voted stating that he had been misin- formed as to his rights as a man who had only taken out his first naturalization papers. He said th%r the defendant had voted at various city elections. as is permitted un- der the law, and that it was through ignorance that he voted at the dele gate election as charged in the in- dictment, and not through any in tention 10 commit a wrong or break the laws of the United States in regard to voting. Asked if he had anything to say regarding the sen tence the district attorney stated that he was willing to leave tho matter to the discretion of the court without argument
 In passing sentence Judge Bun nell stated that he had always heard of MT Selberg as a man of excel lent character and that he was con vinced that the defendant intended no wrong when he illegally cast a ballot at the delegate election in the fall of 1914. He further said that he did not consider the offense a felony in any sense of the word and that he hoped that he would bo presiding over the district court bench when MT.

So long as such forces were in their own country payment in such a medium worked all right, but when the armies reached remote points in France and came to the Oar danelles something other than pa per money had to be used. Gold could not be of service because by far the largest part of the gold supply had to be kept in reserve and great deal had to flow to America. In consequence England France and other countries turned to silver and coined vast amounts

A HERO OF THE MINES.

In a mine back of Juneau a ma chine man and helper drilled four teen holes in the wall or face of solid rock The holes were loaded and the machine man lit the fuses while the helper was clearing away some tools. Just when they were all burning a slab of rock fell from above and pinioned the machine man against the face where they had been drilling. He could not escape In a moment the terrible blasts would complete the tale. The help ar. seeing the predicament, Opcne" his pocket knife and began cutting the fuses. When about one-half through second rock fell and broke his arm. He took the knife in his other hand and finished cut ting the fuses, and then called for help to extricate the machine man. That was an example of presence of mind and real ravery.-Douglas Island News.

BIOLOGICAL SURVEY
 CANNOT MAKE ASSAYS.

The United States Geological sur vey calls the attention of mining men and others to the fact that it Is not equipped for making assays or analysis ot rocks, it's laboratory being in fact overloaded with off cial work Many specimens and samples are received by the sur 'ey, accompanied by requests for such treatment, with which it is impossible to comply. The force of chemists employed is small and their time is fully occupied by their regular official duties. The Geo. logical survey has no facilities for making gold and silver assays. The most the survey geologists can do Is to give an offhand opinion based on a simple examination of the specimens. It might be a matter of surprise to know the large num- Der of answers prepared daily by the geological survey similar to the following:
 "In reply to your letter. etc* the material you send is merely a fragment of quartz pebble l regret to say that it has no prob able value"
 A great many other samples re- ceived prove to be iron pyrites. or fools gold" the shiny particles being taken by the writer for gold.
 If an assay is desired, the proper course is to employ a private as saver or send a specimen to one of the government offices where a regular charge is made for such work. When specimens are sent to the survey for examination, ap- plicants should be practiular to state whether they wish them returned, as otherwise they will be destroyed. There are government assay off res at Carson, Nevada; Seattle. Washington; Boise. Idaho; Helena, Montana; Salt Lake City, Utah :; Deadwood, South Dakota, or New Orleans, Louisiana; and the mint at Philadelphia for gold silver. lead, tin, zinc and antimony

Classic Nose Was
 Ruined In Fight

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27-LeaA Alexander, professional beauty, who shot and killed a wealthy San Fran cisco broker year ago, being ac- quilted subsequently, by the San Francisco jury, yesterday assumed the role of complainant, naming Charlie Alphin and Dick Lucas, of a Main street theatre, as her as sailants.
 Miss Alexander, who was a mem Der of the chorus at the burlesque house, declares that on December B. her beauty was ruined by sever al blows struck by the two men named as defendants in the battery complaint which Assistant City Pros ecutor c. B. Morton issued yester day
 The two men, she declares, were members of party with which she was invited to take a midnight dinner and auto ride. One of the girls refused to go. and both men claimed her.
 Then, she swears, when she re- fused to accompany either, they joined in a fistic assault on her, ruining the shape of her classic nose and knocking out several teeth. As a result of this she was forced to leave the company and has since lived in retirement in Hollywood,
 After swearing to the complaint, Miss Alexander declared that she would bring civil suit for damages against the two men after the DO lice court cases had been decided Alphin and Lucas were arrested and gave bail.

SILVER LIKELY TO
GO UP AFTER WAR

GO UP AFTER WAR.
 Those who are theorizing about business conditions after the close of the war seem to neglect bar silver, which all interests agree should score a remarkable advance.
 While the war goes on, the use of silver in the countries of war is nil. The proportion of silver so used to tota! silver production IS as three to five When the war closes use of silver for the arts may be expected to make up for lost time.
 One of the biggest traders in silver in New York says: We are very bullish on silver after the close of the war. We expect a moderate advance at present, inas- much as India at this season has bought no silver and as the re ouirements of England and France and other countries for coinage pur- poses is great.

of copper that was mined. Prelim- mary estimates indicate this to be S3.S5O, 900 pounds. valued at s14, 100000 In 1914 21,45O.62S pounds of copper were mined. valued at S2.- S52,934 The gold production also increased in 1915. when the value was about $16 9OO,00O, against s15, 626, S13 for the output of 1914. This is the largest gold production since 1912, when the output was valued at S17,145 951 As the production of silver is incidental to gold and copper mining. this also increased It is estimated that S400,000 worth of silver was mined in 1915, as compared with $21S.327 worth in 1914. The output of other minerals including tin antimony, marble, gyp, sum, coal and petroleum, in 1915, had value of about $500 900, com, pared with s222,S02 in 1914.
 The developments made during the year give assurance of contin- ued large operations in both copper and gold lode mining. Placer min ing has been less prosperous, for this industry has not yet reacted to the stimulus of the government railway, which will make available for profitable exploitation large bodies of lowgrade gravels. The same is true of the coal mining industry, which also must await railway transportation.

 GUS YEAR FOR ALASKA

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13.- The Alaska mining industry as a whole was more prosperous in 1915 than in any previous year. This is indicated by the value of the total mineral output, which is estimated to have been $32,OOO,0OO, compared with $19,O64,963 for 1914 The high est value for any previous year was in 1906 when Alaska produced s23378,42S worth of minerals, but this was at a time when the bo- nanza placers of Fairbanks and Nome were yielding their greatest returns.
 The high value of the mineral output ill 1915 was due in large measure to the extraordinary amount
