FAMOUS MINES CAVED IN
BY THE INFLOW OF WATERS
Gold Diggings in Alaska Wrecked.
Believed That All Workers
Are Safe.

JUNEAU. Alaska, April 23.-Three
units of the famous Treadwell gold
mines cayed in yesterday. The waters
of Gastincau channel broke into the
Alaska Treadwell, Alaska United and
Alaskan Mexican through worked out
stope.
1t is believed that all the miners
were saved, but two were still unac-
counted for today:
Several residences. the Treadwell Au-
d.torium and half of big oil tank
were swallowed up. One end of the
Treadwell clubhouse. including bowl
ing alleys and an auditorium, hangs
over tho gulf along with the remaining
half of the oil tank.
Thirteen hundred men were EMPLOYED
in the mines and mills of the Tread
well organization. consolidated a year
ago under the name of the Alaska
Gold Mining Company. The propertv
was said TO be the lowest grade gold
quartz mine in the world. yielding a
great revenue from the 5000 tons Of
ore milled each day.
As the mines apparently are ruined.
the disaster at present is looked upon
as tho greatest in the history of
Alaska mining.
The three mines are said to have pro
auced S56.0oo,Oo0. the Alaska Tread
well, the oldest, having been opened up
IN 1852
Many of the miners will find immedi-
ate employment in the Alaska, Juneau
and other nearby mines. which have
been lacking men.

undoubtedly that affected some OF their

have such continuity. SO you can look
ahead and make your plans, just as IL

The fifth reason was that great

forced by public opinion to go. and

great many men were called slackers who

DISCHARGES OF MEN THIN
FORT MYER CAMP RANKS
No One Company Of the Sd Infantry
Is Large Enough to Do All
Of Guard Work.

The companies Of the Sd Infantry,
N. G. d. c., in camp at Fort Myer. Va,
have become so thinned as the result
of discharges Of men having dependent
relatives and those failing to pass the
physical tests that no one company is
large enough to do all Of the guard
work. and the camp guard now is being
formed by details from several COM
panies. Onicers for the guard are being
selected from the officers roster, and as
the result the men constituting the
guard are serving under officers other
than those in their respective COM
panies.
Many drills have been suspended be-
cause of the shortage Of men. After
details have been withdrawn from the
six companies to do the fatigue work
about camp, the companies are SO
thinned that drilling Is almost out of
the question.
Regimentai headquarters has been moved
to the camp from the band barracks at
Fort Myer, where It had been located
since the regiment was called into service
A mess hall has been built for the stan
and field officers.
A large number Of persons visited the
camp yesterday to see friends and rela-
tives among the troops. Religious serv-
ices were conducted last night by Chap
lain Arthur L. Smith.

DECLINES TO INTERFERE
WITH ITS FORMER RULING

The District Court of appeals after
a hearing today. in an opinion by JUS
tice Robb. declined to interfere with its
former ruling In the suit of Mrs. Marie
Cronan of New York to enforce a con-
tract against her former husband, Lieut.
Commander William P. Cronan, U. S. N
In the former decision the court had
reversed a judgment in favor of the
husband and had directed a new trial,
with the order that the defendant bear
the burden Of proving that the contract
was based on a collusive divorce and
therefore against public policy.
The naval officer agreed to pay ALI
mony of $50 per month to his former
$1,000 on q piece of real estate. He
paid the alimony for some time, but
declined to settle the mortgage, when
Mrs. Cronan sued.
