Hope for Future

Dr. Brooks analyses the causes for depression in the Alaskan min ing industry and expresses hope for a revival as follows:
 "As about 96 per cent of the value of the mineral output of Alaska has been taken from her gold and copper mines, the world wide depression in the mining of these two metals, which continued through 1920, has been staggering blow to the pros perity of the Territory. About 60 per cent of the population of Alaska has heretofore been directly or in- directly supported by gold mining. With the relative decrease in the value of gold, the miner and pros pector has been forced to leave the territory and the population has de- clined. The decline, however, must not be regarded as an indication or the early exhaustion of the gold re- sources, for Alaska contains enormous potential reserves in gold and other minerals. The depression of the mining industry is only temporary; change for the better will come when economic conditions become more normal and water and land transportation are cheaper and bet ter. A lowering of freight rates, the completion of the Government rail road, and the building of large mileage of wagon roads are needed to quicken the now stagnant mining industry. Such changes will, how ever, take time, so that a general immediate improvement cannot be expected"

Last Saturdays local train from
IN. one mile north of Mineral Station
when a seven foot culvert gave way
just after the engine had passed over.

ward trucks over but the hind truck
was left hanging. The next four
cars, two box, stock and an ore car,
went in the ditch and were neatly
laid on their sides. Two passengers,
]. Sheehan, president of the Farmers
& Merchants National Bank of Eu-

reached Eureka two autos went down
for the passengers and they returned
to town about 3 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. The track was sufficiently re-
paired for an engine to bring the
coach, mail and express to Eureka
and they reached here about 4;30 o.
clock Sunday morning.
Superintendent C. B. Sexton came
up from Palisade on yesterdays train

written the man referred to, James
Cooper, has been arrested and is now
in the Eureka County Jail.
Cooper hired an auto to take him
to Ely several days ago and started
on the trip, but the car went out of
commission this side of Hamilton,

termined to return to Eureka. He
reached Eureka night before last, and
as he evidently believed the officers
we're after him went into hiding.
The Reno officers had notified
Mackey to arrest Cooper and hold the
car. but when Mackey received the
wire Cooper had struck out for Ely.
The Sheriff learned of Cooper's re-
turn to town but was unable to To-
cate him Thursday. Early Friday
morning Sheriff Mackey found Coop
er in bed with the woman he came to
Eureka with and arrested and put
him in Jail.
There appears to be little doubt
but that Cooper is the man wanted,
and 1t is understood he acknowledges
taking license plate from one of the
Bradley Company autos at Reno and
placing 1t upon the car now here and
claimed to be stolen, but Bradley says
he purchased the car at Hiko, Lincoln
County. AS the car was out of or
der he was unable to continue on to
Ely with it, and left it with the wo-
man. She has since been trying to
dispose of it, but without success.
Reno officials have been notified of
Cooper's arrest and an officer is ex-
pected here by to-day's train for
Cooper and the alleged stolen auto.
