DESPERADO'S LIFE IS
 SAVED BY A HORSE

MARTA, Tex, May 15 (by Asso- ciated Press).-A runaway cavalry horse saved "Chico" Cano's life dur ing raid across the Rio Grande by the Eighth cavalry recently Cano, who is known throughout the Big Bend district as a desperate char acter, was in command of band of Mexicans who raided an American ranch, drove off herd of cattle to Mexico. The cavalry gave chase, forged the Rio Grande and located the bandits in their camp while they were cooking supper. Captain Leonard Matlack, commanding the troop, ord cred his men to dismount and sur round the camp. Recognizing Chico" Cano, Captain Matlack was about to fire on him when one of the cavalry horses stampeded and Cano escaped with a bullet in his leg.

Morley River Strike

A wire was received from the edi- tor of the Dawson News giving some of the details of the Morley river strike. The wire stated that the strike was made by two miners, Me Lean and Miller, who hail from the Yukon country. They were not able to reach bedrock on account of the water but at the depth they quit work they could secure 35 cents to the pan. They had no time for ex- tensiv prospecting as the Indians were stalking the entire country as soon as it became known that gold existed there.

ture at Juneau and calls for ter ritorial appropriation of $350,000, which of course is nothing more nor less than mere thrilling, and request upon the United States to issue $5,- OOO,OOO bonds, which is an entirely diff ferent matter, and so, if passed, 1t will mean nothing more nor less than the waste in salaries and junkets of the $350,000, as congress could not be expected to even consider so ridiculous plan. However, the same line of argument holds good for either a $1O,OOO,0O0 or a $5,00O,000 corpora tion for if they handle exclusively all of the open or competitive tonnage, they couldn't pay interst, to say noth- ing of operating expenses, and after this plain statement of facts,no person save a lunatic would discuss the mat ter further.
 Lastly, Port Warden A. A. Payssee, of the city of Seattle, has prepared g statement showing the tonnage handled over the Seattle docks for the calendar year 1918 on business to and from Alaska, including every thing from Murad cigarettes and tin plate to walrus oil and junk. Just to strengthen our argument, we are go- ing to credit this entire tonnage to the new proposed steamship line. From Alaska we received 137,8S3 tons and to Alaska we sent 2S6,596 tons' total of 424,479 tons.
 Now granting an average rate oi $500 a ton and the gross revenue would be $2,122,395, and this, be 1t re- membered, assumes the elimination or every steamship, schooner, barge or tender heretofore operated between Seattle and Alaska.
 Out of this must be provided ln- terest, marine insurance, depreciation and operating expenses, and With contracts for oil and other supplies newly made on 1919 basis, the high cost of labor and food supplies, it will be readily seen that the amount or gross earnings on the exclusive haul of all the Seattle-Alaska business, as represented by the year 1918, could not possibly cover operating expenses and fixed charges.

Lay Taken on Engineer

A lay has been taken on the famous old Engineer Association claim, on Engineer creek, by four well known Fairbanks mining men-Jack O'Shea, B. J. Everman, Chris Larsen and Al bert Hughes. The ground is owned by A. A. Everman and A. H. Wilmore.
 None of the partners in the lay are strangers to Engineer creek as they have mined more or less on the creek since the early days.
 Supplies will be taken out to the claim and active work commenced within the next few days. Engineer was big producer some years ago, the Wild Goose and the Owl associa- tion claims having produced consid- erable gold. The famous TT" Gold stream, which alone has produced about million and half of gold since it's discovery, is located at the mouth of Engineer creek.
