JUNEAU MINES COME TO FRONT
 DURING YEAR

SEATTLE, Jan. g. Low-grade quartz properties in the vicinity of Juneau, Alaska, are due for a year of unprecedented development in 1917, in the opinion of A. B. Dodd, vice-president and general manager of the Alaska Gold Belt Company, who is now in Seattle, says the Times.
 Dodd was one of the army of stampeders who took part in the famous rush of 1898 and has been connected with various properties in the North since that time. The Alaska Gold Belt Company, which he has four properties within four miles of Juneau. Extensive de- yelopment work has been done on these and other mines and stamping machinery will be installed within year or a year and a half, said MT. Dodd last night.
 "We expect to increase the output of the Juneau district by 5000 tons a day when we are operating at full capacity" he said. Several other companies are doing even better than this and are planning on ma

RAILROAD FROM INLET TO NOME
 THEN TO RUSSIA
Transferring Line Again to the Fore as Pro- jeCt of Eastern
 Capitalists.

SEATTLE, Jan. 9.-Eastern inter. ests have taken under consideration
 the project of building "a railroad from Cook Inlet to Nome, Alaska, and thence to Bering Straits where the line would cross to Siberia and connect with the Trans-Siberian rail road, according to w. F.. Smith, chief engineer of the Alaska Short Line railroad, says the Times. The project, if carried out, would give a continuous railroad from Cook In. let to Petrograd, Russia, and thence to Paris, France
 Such a project has been advanced at different times in the past, and Smith said yesterday that the iso- lated condition of the Russian em- pire in the pr sent war is resulting in the proposition receiving serious consideration in important quarters.
 Boring Strait, is fifty miles wide with the Dinomede Islands almost in the center The proposition would involve boring Q tunnel from each side of the Islands. The project, Smith said yesterday in his offices in the Lyon building, would open up the tremendously rich Kuskol1wim river district He maintains that it would supplement- the work of the Alaskan railroad in de- veloping the great north.
 "The project of a railroad from Cook Inlet in Siberia is being cOnsid- cred in connection with the Alaska Short Line Railroad proposition" said Smith, Beyond this. I can say for the present.

of the Death of RaSputian Given Now to the
 Public:
WAS TOLD TO SUICIDE
Turned Revolver Upon ASsaiIant and Was Then Killed = Body
 Dumped in Neya

PETROGRAD, Jan S.-(By MailJ New and more drastic versions Of the death of Gregory Rasputin, the Russian monk, who exercised great influence over the members of the royal family, and first conjectures as to the nature of the plot which sue ceeded in ridding Russia of the most powerful and picturesque chief of the dark forces" which 1t is alleged have been attempting to poison the internal life of Russia. have only heightened the sensation caused by the first news of Rasputin's death received last Saturday It is now definitely known that the assas5ina, tion was only one of a series of at temps upon Rasputin's life.
 Events Reconstructed
 But circumstances peculiarly ia vored the plot arranged for early Sat urday morning in the hands of the authorities they have been able to reconstruct the events which prObab- ly took place at that time. Shortly after midnight Rasputin, who was iitting alone in his house at Petro- grad received a telephone call from he house of Prince Yussupoff. The invitation proved particularly allur. Ing and Rasputln accepted in his best humor
 Rasputin was not long seated in the house to which he had been in. vlted before one of the guests arose quietly and offered revolver to him with the following words; We have decided you must die Kill your self"
 Turned On AssaiIant
 According to the prevalent version Rasputin pointed the revolver at the man who had offered 1t to him, whereupon the other guests drew revolvers and fired upon the monk. Rasputin was struck twice in the chest and side and then a bullet in the head killed him instantly. His body was immediately disposed of. being dropped into the Neva river. It was said today those who partici. pated in the crime would not be prosecuted. One already has been allowed to leave Petrograd, and al though the others have been de. tained, no arrests have been made.
