LABOR LEADERS ADMIT THAT LABORERS REFUSE
 TO STRIKE

NEW YORK, Oct. "A report sub mitted at the conference of the labor leaders of this city today contains the tacit admission that the general strike planned in sympathy with the striking carmen is a complete fail ure. The general strike was called by the leaders and agitators, but the members of the various unions called out refused to answer it by quitting work.
 The police of the city have an nounced, after a careful canvass, that only 40S men answered the general strike call. These were chiefly men who were dissatisfied with the places in which they were working.
 The strike leaders are now making another plan for the benefit of the striking carmen. This includes the taking up of a subscription of one dollar from each union man in the city.

KEYS AND SONS
 STARTING WORK.

E. M Keys X Sons-George and Ralph-the well known mining men, who recently made the purchase of the Jack Prest ground on upper Vault creek, are preparing to start work on their new acquisition. They left town yesterday for Vault, and will start operations immediately.
 A shaft has already been sunk to bedrock on the ground and landed on the pay. The Keys will start blocking out ground for next sum- mer They will hoist the tunnel dirt into a dump this winter but will not hoist more of the pay gravel than is necessary to run the tun- nels, as they prefer to put it direct ly into the sluice boxes next spring.
 It is probable that they will sink another shaft and block out more ground also In which event they will work out of two shafts with large crews of men next summer.
 Keys X Sons purchased a large plant with the ground. That is, the plant goes with the sale. It is placed so that it will not have to be moved, Conditions are therefore ideal for the immediate starting of work, and the mining men are re- lieved of the necessity of moving their own plant to the scene of their new operations.

LOWER VAULT CREEK MINING MAN TO OPEN UP WITH
 A NEW SHAFT.

If Henry Cook has operated on an extensive scale during the past summer on lower Vault creek, ac- cording to all reports he intends to operate on a still more extensive scale next summer For he is preparing, in addition to the works out ot which he is now hoisting pay gravel, to open up another block of ground for work next summer. Which will mean that Vault creek will contain two of the busiest out fits in this district, as Keys & Sons will be operating on the upper end of the creek with a big crew of men.
 MT. Cook stated last night that he intends to sluice as long as he can this fall out of the shaft where he is now working. He will there fore be sluicing as long as there is any water running in the ditches or as long as it can be made to run by artificial means. There is plenty of water this fall, and MT. Cook is therefore of the opinion that he will be able to sluice until the first of November, at least, and maybe later than that.
 MT. Cook is operating on the Sarah association He has been there two years. The ground is wet, and for time it looked as though he would be unable to handle the water. but he now has adequate pumping facili- ties for that purpose.

FIND RICH COPPER
 ORE NEAR SEWARD

A discovery which may have the effect of bringing Seward into the
 limelight in the copper world was
 made recently by Frank Skeen and
 Charley Emsweiler over at Porcu- pine bay Some specimens of the ore were brought to town by the
 discoverers and are extraordinarily rich. These specimens were not taken from the ledge itself, but were found immediately beneath the ledge on shelves They carry over thirty per cent copper and the ore is the same class as the ore at Latouche, which, however, carries only about sixteen per cent at the best. The ledge discovered by Messrs. Skeen and Emsweiler is believed to be the ledge which Likes was supposed to have discovered, but it is evident that Likes only found stains and float under the real ledge and did not find the ledge itself. The ledge IS lOCdltu Dtllllu d SldClei Sdl be seen up above, but is in a position where it cannot be reached without some work being done. The dis coverers figure it is about twenty feet wide and they can trace it dis tinctly for a hundred feet or so from below The prospectors took lad der along, but even with this aid they were unable to reach the spot

MILK FAMINE THREATENED ON ACCOUNT OF RIGID
 INSPECTION.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Health Com missioner Emerson has refused to relax the rigid inspection of the milk which comes into this city, de spite the threatened milk famine The famine is being caused by the controversy between the farmers and ranchers who bring milk to town for sale and the leading milk deal CTS of the city who dispense it.
 Quality is more important than quantity, asserts Commissioner Elm merson. The quantity might be more beneficial to the many, he says, but he is taking no chance of having the quality impaired, thus impairing the health of the consumer.

NEW BRIDGE WILL BE BUILT AS BEFORE SPECIFIED SAYS
 SOMMERS.

There is now absolutely no chance of changing the plans for the bridge across the Cinema river here, accord ing to E. J Sommers, local super atendenf of the Alaska Road com mission. and the bridge will be built according 10 plans and specifications. Mr. Sommers made the statement when asked about the kicks which have been registered against the height of the proposed structure when it is finished
 Mr Sommers also explained the reasons why the bridge is being con structed so high. He said that the commission wishes it to be built so that it will be at least five feet above high water mark. He also points cut the fact that boat of launch size can pass under it. even at the highest known stage of Wa ter, the way it is to be constructed, also stating that that there will be no possibility of the catching of floating snags.
 The approach on the Fairbanks side of the bridge, Mr. Sommers says, will start approximately at the intersection of Cushman street and Front street. He pointed out the fact that the street on the water front side along First avenue is very low, and that after it is raised and graded, as should be done, the ap- proach to the bridge will be but lit tie higher than the main street.
 The road superintendent also stat ed that in building this bridge the road commission is putting up a permanent structure for a permanent Fairbanks, such as Fairbanks is ex- pected to be. He pictured a Fair banks of threestOry buildings on Front street in his predictions of what the city will be 12 or 15 years hence, and he also said that the buildings of the future will undoubt- edly be raised at least two feet. This, he said, would be made neces- sary by the fact that all of the eel lars, as now constructed, have water in them d great deal of the time.
 Work on the Garden Island pier of the bridge is progressing rapidly. The pier on the Fairbanks side is practically finished, excepting for the fact that the concrete has not set tied yet The chilliness of the weath- CT is responsible for that, although the water in the caisson is at tenn perature of 36 degrees. It is there fore expected that the pier will not be finally completed until about Oc. tober 10.

OMAHA. Nebr, Oct. 2.-The big local packing plant of Nel- son Morris X Co. was badly damaged by fire late tonight. The plant will not be com plete loss, but the damages are variously estimated at from $75O,O0O to S1.OOO,00O. The whole was covered by insurance.
 The origin of the fire is mys- tery. It had gained consider able headway before being dis covered. and was therefore hard to fight. The stockyards fire department was the first on the scene, to be followed quickly by all of the city fire compa nies.

 Other people who have visited the property within the past two days are more enthusiastic in their com ments, declaring the mine makes the U. S. Mint look like a white check Specimens of the ore brought up last night help to bear out the as sertion, for the rock is literally stud ded with gold particles, some of the specimens being so rich that it is difficult to determine whether it is rock carrying gold or gold with some rock mixed in.
 A considerable amount of develop ment work, consisting of about 200 feet of tunnel. has been done on this property. and a vein of probably the richest ore ever found in this sec tion has been opened up MT C. Christopher. of Seattle, who is in terested in the property, will arrive here within short time, and it is probable that arrangements will be made, following his visit, for the installation of mill on the property.

Associated PreSs.)

He may have to serve but two years, but the judge who sentenced him provided in pass ing sentence that he remain 20 years in the penitentiary.
