CONCERNING THE ALASKA
 GOLD MINING COMPANY

Replying to an inquiry, the Boston
 Commercial says "The recent de cline of Alaska Gold stock followed
 the announcement of General Man ager Jackling that the average grade of ore being mined is some what lower than originally expected. This caused quite number of holders of the stock to sell and take their profits. As we under stand it, the company is now mining from a relatively small area, the mine not yet having been sufficient ly developed 10 make possible the drawing of ore from several different parts to thus obtain an average of the whole deposit. Alaska Gold has immense resources of low grade ore, probably sufficient to supply an output of 5000 to 10000 tons daily for 40 or 50 years, It is a gigantic manufacturing proposition and substantial profits will be earned even though the ore should aver age only $50 a ton instead of $1.75 to $2 as expected. It will probably be a year or two before the company

Williams Freed
 On Rape Charge

After deliberating for approximate ly IS hours, the jury in the case of the United States vs. G. S. Willi- ans returned a verdict of not guilty into district court last Wednesday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock. The case had been given to the jury to- gether with the instructions of the court after the arguments of the attorneys, each two hours in length, had been concluded, at about S:3O o'clock the previous evening. It is understood that the majority vote on the first ballot was for acquittal, but it required IS hours of further delberation to convince those who approved of guilty verdict that they were wrong. The jury did not offer to report until verdict was reached.
 The actual trial of the case start ed last Monday morning, the jury having been secured during the last two days of the previous week The chief witness for the govern ment was Grace Carey, the girl upon whom the crime of rape was alleged to have been committed in November, 1913. Other witnesses testified to having seen her around the carpenter shop of Williams, on Third avenue.
 On the stand in his own defense Williams flatly denied all of the direct accusations made by the prose cution. He admitted that the girl had been around his place of busi- ness from time to time for several years and that he had frequently given her money, but he stated that he had also been compelled to or der her out of the place from time to time. And testimony given by

FEAR JOE TINKER
 Christy Mathewson. the eminent pitcher anu author, in one of his recent letters wrote:
 Tt has been generally predicted that the CuSs should br tho strong eet contender for the pcrnant in the National league race this naS; sea son. The Chicago club may be the strongest on paper bu, t ha- been the history of baseball that you don't find the paper champions of March winning flags in September
 "I am not afraid of the Cubs Tinker has -oo many ball players. said McGraw just before he left for Cuba
 T agree with NcGraw as usual If Tinker wins the pennant next year he will have proved himself to be one of the greatest managers in the history of baseball The limit has been taken off especially for him and he is carrying seventy men He will have to do a lot of think ing 10 decide which combination means the greatest strength think he will lie awake nights try ing to figure il out, and he will have to do considerable experiment. ing. The experts figure that link CT is going to take his seventy men and get the maximum strength from the collection He won't be able to do this-not for some time after the season opens, anyway
 "Prlyately it is my opinion that many of the Federal leaguors are overrated Tinker's team is made up largely of Federal League talent and he Is counting on this part of the club I cant figure the pitchers in the outlaw organization were as strong as on the big circuits, and I base this opinion on the fact that players like Steve Evans, Joe link CT himself and some more old Ma tional leaguers turned up with such corpulent batting averages. Joe knows the Federal league players that have been with him recently. He will have to do some consider able sitting tc find out how mucn some of his other men amount to.
 Tinker has never proved in the big leagues that he is a winning manager. He failed with the Gin cinnati Reds. and some of the ball players on that club when Joe was running it, or trying to run 1t with the assistance of the di- rectors of the club, the Cincinnati baseball writers and the voX populi os Redland, told me that they did not think Joe was any great shakes as a manage1 But this may be due to jealousy. Few ball players think a new manager knows any more about baseball than they do, or as much, especially if a club is not winning"

New Council Is
 Now In Office

Within less than ten minutes af- ter the old council had adjourned after its meeting at the city hall last Monday night, the newly elect ed municipal council of Fairbanks met and assumed the reins of office. i The last meeting of the old council was short, as all that remained to be done was to wind up the affairs of the city for the month of March and the first few days in April. And a statement of the results of the years work of the cd council showed that the city indebtedness was reduced something like 5000 under the administration of the old council.
 The first matter taken up by the new council after it's members had been sworn into office was that of appointive positions. The ensuing discussion resulted in the reappoint- ment of J. J. Buckley and F. c. | w lStIlIdll Illiti ol IIlo III Ut partment and city magistrate, and chief of the police department re- spectively, and the unanimous cleo tion of George Hutchinson to the city treasurership. The discussion relative to the position of city at | torney resulted in the matter being | i,,Fr of the council, which takes place at the city hall Tuesday evening, April 25. It was suggested at the meeting that the salary of the city attorney be reduced from $75 to $50 per month Another suggestion offered was that the office should be done away with altogether.
 And it might be said just here that the regular meeting nights of the council have been changed. Here after they will be on the second and fourth Tuesday evenings of each month in place of the second and | fourth Mondays. The change was necessary on account of the fact that some of the new councilmen have other business to attend to every Monday night
 Before the new council met in regular session a caucus was held in the city magistrates office for the purpose of deciding which of the councilmen should be long term and which short term men, in ac- cordance with the law under which the new aldermanic body was elect ed. The drawing was conducted by ex-Mayor Andrew Nerland before he retired from office, the drawing of lots resulting in the selection of Councilmen E. H. Mack, August Burglin and John A. Mcintosh for the long term or for two years, while Councilmen George M. Smith, Henry T. Ray and Robert J. Geis will serve one year, or until the next city election.
 It is probable that bids for the auditing of the city books will soon be called for At least that was the sentiment of the council at the meeting Monday night. One other matter brought to the attention of the coucil by a letted from Wallace Cathcart, secretary of the Fairbanks Commercial club. was that of the Turner street bridge. The bridge is now in the hands of the Alaska Road commission and all matters in reference to it are therefore to be handled by them, but the letter stat

Davis property on Garden Island for the bridge approach on that side of the river. It was also stated that an ex- pression from the council is desired concerning the advIsability of charging ferry tolls during this sea son. After talking over the letter for a while, the councilmen decided to let the street committee handle the matter and make a report at the next meeting,

LARGE COPPER SALE CONFIRMED

| HE DdSlS-
 LARGE COPPER SALE CONFIRMED
 VALDEZ, Mar 27-With the arri- val last evening on the Admiral Evans of E. D. Reiter, of the Alaska Mines 1 Corporation, and George White and Ben Silverman, there is confirmed the sale of the Copper Coin group of claims at Knights island, tele- graphic report of which was re- ceived here several days ago.
 Mir. Reiter, who purchased the property, said to a Prospector re porter that he considered the prop erty one of the best prospects he had seen in Alaska, and that it was his intention to demonstrate at the earliest moment that the claims will make a mine or that there is nothing there. To this end he will begin active development work on the claims within a week or ten days. as soon as he returns from a trip to Fidalgo bay, and will en- ploy as many men as can be worked profitably Should the property turn out as present showings on the claims would indicate. he will install tram, ore bunkers and a wharf, and will put the property on a ship ping basis this summer.
 The property in question consists of five claims, known as Copper Coin Nos. l, ?, 3, and 5, and is situated on the south side of Dryer bay, on Knights island. There has already been expended on the prop erty not less than S10000 in actual development, and there is blocked out a considerable quantity of ore with indications of a practically in eXhaustible supply. A shipment of the ore sent to the Tacoma smelter netted returns of 10 per cent cop per, and on this basis the property can be worked with considera ble profit
 The consideration for the trans fer of the property was $75.O00 and MT Reiter expresses the opinion that he has not made a bad bargain In fact. he is extremely well pleased with his purchase, and predicts that it will prove a good dividend payer MT Reiter states that in boosting by his belief in it's rich possibli- ties as his company has no stock for sale, and has plenty of money to go ahead with the work planned.
 That this section of Alaska will forge rapidly to the front is the belief expressed by MT. Reiter, who says that he has no monopoly on the good prospects in the sound country, and that capital will be seeking investment here just as soon as it is demonstrated that mining can be carried on here at a profit and it is planned to make such a demonstration with the properties he now controls.
 MT Reiter says he has had good reports from the Fidalgo bay prop erty during his absence in the states, and is well pleased with the prospects there.

EDDIE ROUSCH IS A
 WONDERFUL PLAYER

Eddie Rousch, the outfielder signed by New York, is probably the most unique player in baseball today. He is regarded as a greater ball player than Benny Kautf, the famous Fed outfielder, with the eX- ception of one thing. and that is his throwing arm, and in another season he is expected to surpass kauff in this respect, and the reason is apparent.
 Only two years ago Rousch brokr his right arm badly, so injurinT 1t that the muscles were seriously affected, and he was never able to throw properly with his right arm again. Such an accident would have put most men out of baseball but Rousch is made of sterneI stuff He at once set to wor'' tc learn throwing with his left arm He had never even tried the eyperi ment, so the task was monumental
