San Francisco, Oct. 11—The op

arrested and indicted for wholesaio
smuggling of "dope" into the coun
try, were arraigned today and all
plead not guilty.
The attorneys for the government
;:re sure of a conviction and claim
that other higher ups will be
brought to trial as soon as the
present cases are disposed of. The
indicted men are represented by
the ablest attorneys in San Francisco
The men now being trlo:d were
formerly employed in tthe custom ser
vice as inspectors and guards and
also a number of steamship officials,
who brought the opium to San Fran

high duty between the government
officials and themselves. It is sup
posed that they cleared up $20,000

ANTHRACITE COAL FIELDS
OP NEW MEXICO
Washington, Oct. 11—A short re
port on the Cerrillos coal field, San
ta Fe County, New Mexico, by Will
is T. Lee, ju9t issued by the United
States Geological Survey, describes
a coal field which is one of tho lew
in the United States outside of the
Pennsylvania anthracite coal. Con
siderable interest attaches to the
Cerrillos coal field, not so much be
cause of its present productiveness a
because it is one of the oldest pro
ducers of coal In western America.
The mines that were worked most
extensively have been abandoned,
but the field contains many good
coal seams, some from 4 to 6 feei
thick, of anthracite and bituminous
coal.
The coal of the Cerrillos field
have been developed in so few places
and so little is known of the con
tinuity of the beds that no useful
estimate of available tonnage can be
raae. The area of coal bearing rock
is about 30 qsuare miiS, but tlie
uncertainty as to the occurrence of
commercially important coal be Is
in many places renders any estimate
that might be made almost worth
less. However, as the mines in the
very small area developed have fur
nished .according to the statistics
of the Geological Survey, about 2,
330,000 tons of coal, large bodies of
valuable coal may yet be found in
the Cerrillos field.
EIGHTY MILES AX HOl'R
ON THE COPPER RIVER
Speaking of the Skagway wind,
the following article taken from the
Valdez Commoner would indicate
that it blows a few now and then
along the route of the C. R. & N
\V. Route.
"No, the wind does not blow as
hard on the Valdez glacier as it
does on the Copper River below
Chitlna. Eighty miles an hour is a
very common wind on the lower
Copper. Ask any one who has bo '1
over the road. Ask people who wer
in Cordova during the storm there
last week. At that time in Valdez
the wind was not strong enough
to have blown a newspaper off of
a three story building."
PASSES VP
PORTAGE 15 A V
Dr. J. A. Holmes, director of the
United States bureau of mines is
spending a few days on Kenai riv
er, on his return from a brief trip
to the Matanuska coal filds. It was
the plan of Dr. Holmes to go out via
Portage bay, and Col. O'Neill, of
Fort Liscum, has dispatched the gov
ernment launch to that point to
meet him. This plan ws chnged,
however, when a man sent by Dr.
Holmes to investigate the way re
turned to Kern creek and informed
tee official that the route was im
practical and difficult to accomplish.
Hence, the official will come via
Seward.
