VALIDITY OF
 POLL TAX XLAW
 NOT INVOLVED
Territorial Attorney General Murphy Says Alaska Poll
 Tax Law Is Upheld

In Saturdays issue of The Empire appeared a telegraphic message from San Francisco stating that the Alaska Poll Tax Law might possibly be in volved in a decision recently handed down by the District Court.
 The message stated the officials in San Francisco believed the decision would tend to contest the constitu- tionality of the law. referring to the Act passed by the 1919 Alaska Legislature, imposing tax of five dollars on all male residents of the Territory between the ages of twenty one and fifty years
 Attorney General. J. c. Murphy, ol Alaska, says the San Francisco of ficials have an absolute misconcep tion of the findings of the United States District Court al San Francisco, which decision came about in the following manner: Certain Alaska fishermen started an action in admiralty at San Ft;in cisco in the latter part of the year against the Alaska Packers Associ ation. seeking to recover certain mon ies held ont by the Association ii accordance with the Alaska law.
 The facts were stipulated up tt the Court. United States Dis ,ric' Judge Rudkin of Spokane, sitting rendered an opinion tacitly holding lthe constitutionality of the Act wh;cl had been attacked. Messrs Chickering and Gregory and the Attorney Gener al of the Territory appeared for the Alaska Packers Association.
 i Later the libeIant asked fer a re hearing simply and solely Cn ihe questions of the notice served or the lbelant for the year 1913 The Territorial officials have not yet been notified as to any decision on this point, but in case of an adverse de cision on this point, MT Murphy says the case will be appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals.
 Recently Judge Jennings. in the United States District Court here sustained demurrer to complain; in which Libby McNeill and Libby sought to enjoin School Tax Col lector Cramer from collecting tho tax in this vicinity.
 From the facts in the case, il would seem that the validity of the tax has been upheld.

 ger and Better Than Ever

With the finding of the six foo vein of quartz on our property a Windham Bay containing free gold and galena we consider our properts more valuable than ever before," said F. w. Ketchmark, president of tho tion today.
 We struck the rich rock while cross cutting the ore body at dis tance of eighty three feet from tn mouth of the development tunnel thai we are running We will keep right on driving the tunnel and at another twenty feet will cross cut again. Wt expect to find that the quartz has wid ened out when we cross cut again, continued MT Ketchmark.
 According to MT Ketchmark it was no surprise to find the ledge in the place where it was as surface indica tions showed that it would be there The richness and size of the vein was however an agreeable surprise
 Mir. ketchmark will remain in town for week yet to attend to matters pertaining to the company. While he is in town the development work al the mine goes steadily forward in the hands of a competent crew of min CTS.
 Plans for the development of the property of the Independent Mining Corproation are being carried steadily forward and it is expected that this Corporation, which is strictly local affair, will in the course of not very long time have producing mine at Windham Bay.
