At the mine matters were being

dispatched his own two worthless to

ness for R~hinelander's examination.
At the assay Office in Las Vegas,
Rhinelander, accompanied by Storm
and Helen, was looking for the expert.
Rhinelander held a brief conference
with him. telling him what vas want
ed and asking whether he could &C.
company him on a trip to the Supersti-

but was finally induced to yield and
Storm was sent to procure a motor car
In which the party embarked on its
return. The orders were to drive
straight to the Superstition mine.
Seagrue was almost ready for visi-
tors. After an hours hard work with
his men, who had been distributing
the sacks and rolling the rich ore in
among the worthless rock, he directed
them to get ready for a blasting. The
foreman took a single charge and put
Bill and Lug to work on it.
Seagrue left the tunnel, the foreman
remaining under his orders to hurry
the shot. The moment Bill was ready,
Lug got the dynamite, set the fuse and
completed the preparations. Outside,

together for the tunnel.
With Rhinelander asking questions
every few steps, the expert explained
as they walked down the tunnel, the
character of the formation and recited
something of the history Of the mine,
with which he admitted he was famil-
lar. 1t all sounded encouraging. By the
time the group had reached the end of

He had long had control of a valua-

all of them more money than ever had

gruffly, when he reached the drill bat

"Everything's up" responded the
man bluntly. It's all up with the
mine and this outfit, and you and me,

The foreman showed his worry as
he stood contemplating the fault. He
drew from his pocket a book and, hur-
leaf, handed it to a man, and bidding
him hurry with it, turned again to the
drillers to investigate. Seagrue was

All day yesterday although six teen or seventeen persons in all were out searching for Conrad Breeding, not trace of him could be discovered. Some were searching alone, while others were together in parties of three or four.
 It is said that Hastings scoming across from creek where he IS staying, noticed Freeding's trail. It was directed southward in the direc- ton of Taylor creek, but was very far off the regular trail to the east ward. On the day Breeding left a terrible blizzard sprung up, but it has been clear and cold, fifty below in fact, since then.

Citizenship is one right over which the United States exercises exclusive jurisdic- tion and it is not up to any state or territory to say what shall constitute a citizen of the United States. A state may pass a law regulating the voting of a citizen, but not a law as to what constitutes citizen, so the law passed in 1915 by the Juneau solons Chapter 24 and section 23 of Chap. 25) in relation, to Eskimo na- tives is null and void. But if there is any kick why not have the matter settled by a competent court.
