BARES NARROWING
NORTH MINE STORY
Head of Rich Company
Denies Insane Mans Charge
He Is dead" Owner.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October 20.--Charles
V. Bob, president of the Engineer
Gold Mines. Ltd, Inc. owners of the
Engineer Gold Mine at Atlin. British
Columbia, said to be one of the rich
est gold mines Oh this continent
yesterday branded as absurd" the
assertion reported to have been made
recently by an inmate of the Okla
homa State Insane Asylum that he is
Capt. James Alexander, one OF the
former owners of the mine. The
British Columbia police announced
last week that they were Investigate
ing.
Mr.. Bob said that Capt. Alexander
is known to. have persisted aboard
the steamship Princess Sophia, which
went down during d storm on the
western coast in October. 1918. The
mining company presidents state
ment revealed story of i'll fortune
and tragedy which attended those
formerly connected with the mine.
Discoverer Murdered.
The discoverer of the mine. an en-
gineer who helped survey the White
Pass and Yukon Railroad, was muir
dercd on the shores of Atlin Lake
while on the way to Victoria with
some OF the SOlutH ore, lHe StdtC-
ment said. A violent end also came
to the manager and foreman of the
property after it had been acquired
by a French syndicate. The latter
killed the former during a quarrel
and paid the penalty for his crime
with his own life. The mine was
then bought by Capt. Alexander, a
soldier of fortune, who won his rank
in the British army during the Boer
campaign, and several associates.
Capt. Alexander" said the state
ment, gained reputation in the
north country as being able to drink
more whisky and fight harder than
any other man in the North. 1t was
well known that he would produce
$4,000 to 100000 with a small crew
OF men each season on the Engineer
Mine and spend it in the Pacific Goa st
towns during the Winter, returning
to the mine again in the Spring to
repeat the same procedure"
The captain finally sold to Allan /.
Smith, d Philadelphia banker a $250,-
said. and with this money bought out
his associates. In 1918 he granted an
option on the property to the Mining
Corporation of Canada and it was in
company with two of his corpora
tons engineers, who had just in
spected the holdings, that Capt.
Alexander was making a trip TO the
United States aboard the Inflated
Princess Sophia. The entire passen-
ger list OF 26S and the crew of IS
were drowned and among the bodies
recovered one was identified as that
of Capt. Alexander and buried in
Juneau, the statement adds.
Immediately after the death of
Capt. Alexander Il Mr., Grant, one of
the former associates of Capt. Alex
ander, committed suicide in Van
couvcr." said Mr.. Bob. THE captain
had beQueathed all of his interest
in the Engineer Mine TO Mr.. Smith
Later. Smith also committed sui
eide. according to Mr.. Bob, and as a
result long court battle over the
title Of the property took place in
the Canadian courts, finally being
carried to the House of Lords, who
vested il in the Smith estate.
In 1923 the present owners, the
Engineer Gold Mines, Ltd, Inc, ac-
quired the property.

the mysterious flashes seen on the
seurface of Mars as it's closest op-
position.
Prof. Todd and Mr. Woodhouse ex-
plain il this way:
Mars flashes were auroral lights
caused by an electro magnetic dis
charge, which as they struck the
planet caused the lights. and stimuli
taneouly created increased static
and radial disturbances. The flash eS
occurred on Mars at time which ex-
actly conceded with the period of
greatest difficulty in sending and re-
ceiVing radio messages on August "a
This indicates that since static Great
ed on Mars can be felt as far away
as the earth then was. radio signals
could be sent from one planet to the
other at closest oppositions. if there
were some one to send them
Other interesting theories about
Mars have practically become discov-
cries as a result Of the check-up.
Among them are the theories that:
The mysterious flashes on the sur
face of Mars seen at that time, which
were huge curtains of auroraI lights.
from 800 to 500 miles deep. were SIM
liar to the auroral displays that are
registered in the Arctic and Antartlc
regions of the earth. They are
caused by electric magnetic dis
charges from the sun striking the
planets magnetic poles.
+ There were marked electro-mag-
netic disturbances on the earth with
in three minutes of the aurorai
flashes appearing on MarS-this was
what We call radio "static'-and the
disturbances correspond so closely as
to Indicate that if static could travel
as quickly as the speed of light.

Radio reception is probably greatly
affected by the position OF other
planets. The check-up will not be
completed for some months.
