URGES HIGHWAY WORK
 FOR ALASKA COPPER

One hundred thousand dollars ex- pended by the Alaska Road Commis. sion in constructing a bridge across the Nizina river and wagon road from the Nizina to Mccarthy would add considerably to Alaska's high grade copper ore tonnage. in the op. inlon of |. c. Dillman of the Alaska Westover Mining Company. who has been developing property in that TO- zion for the last eleven years, says the Seattle Times of April 20.
 There are several large deposits of high-grade copper ore. but owing to the transportation difficulties they cannot be profitably shipped" said Dillman in Seattle today. There Is any quantity of 30 per cent. copper. A road of about seventeen or eight. cen miles and bridge would make this ore available.
 "If the government would put In Q toll road 1t would pay for itself In ten years. There are eight or nine camps. all of which would ship some copper ore. and the road would also be great convenience for the placer gold miners on Dan Creek and the tributaries of the Chititu River"

DRY ROOM OF THE
 MEXICAN MINE IS
 DAMAGED BY FIRE

TREADWELL. April 2S.-rhe in- terior of the dry-room near the shaft house of the Mexican mine, where the men change their working clo- thes. was completely gutted by fire which broke out shortly before 2:SO o'clock this morning. The ready re- sponse which every company of the Treadwen Fire department gave to the series of weird whistles which aroused the Island citizens, saved the blaze from spreading and becoming the serious fire which at first threat ened. The Douglas Fire Department also responded to offer what assist, ance they could.
 Although the origin of the fire is unknown 1t Is supposed that matches in tho pocket of clothing too nea- the steam pipes, became ignited. No one was In the dry.room at the time and 1t was not until after the night watchman discovered a good sized blaze that the alarm was sounded.
 The damage was decreased by the fact that the usual amount of cloth ing was not in the dry-room as is often the case.

EL PASO, Texas, April 17.--A new war of secession by which Texas Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and California will de clare their independence, with a view to annexing themselves to the Re public of Mexico. is the news that El Democrata, daily paper publish ed in Chihuahua City, has just an nounced. Jails are to be suppressed and the negroes and Indians, who had been "subjugated by Yankee gold. are to be liberated" If the plot succeeds.
 Copies of Fl Democrata, consti- tutionalist organ, with this exclus i've peace of news spread over the front page, have just been brought Ito El Paso by Americans from Chi huahua.
 The story of the conspiracy is as follows:
 Jose veraga, resident of San Deigo. Texas, known as General Yer aga founded the Junta of Freedom. The documents that he issued found their way into the editorial rooms of tho El Democrata, revealing a master mind.
 "eainins Wealth and Recruits"
 From his office in San Diego Gen. eral veraga spread his propaganda, gaining wealth and recruits until now the North American republic is on the point of splitting in halves" "
 In describing veraga's method of working, El Democrata says that Yer aga's revolutionary congress gives to the various subchiefs not only all the money they need for propaganda, and pay of recruits, but check books was seen and handled by the edi. torial staff of El Democrata. It was on bank of El Paso. The last check drawn was by veraga himself for S1OO.

Once independent they would form a re- public and then negotiate with Mex leo to the end there may thus be formed great nation, powerful and strong"

 There is also social reform in yiew-'the liberation of the oppress- ed" They are oppressed. the article says. by the "tyrannical yoke of American gold especially the negroes, the native Indians, the Msxican la boring element and In general all other races"
 General Veraga puts his grievances in these words:
