GETS HOBBLED
I Portland, Or., Jan. 31—Richard
Wood, a man of many aliases and
suave of manner, who for the last
few weeks dazzled a number of
Prominent business men for dinners
and dollars has been, turned over to
ttie federal officers and for the
second time in his career is being
hold to answer a charge of im
oersonating an army or government
officer. 1
Wood arrived shortly before
Christmas and represented himself
at various places to be the Honolu
lu manager for a large sporting
grods house, theatrical magnate,
railroad builder, "Lieut. Morton,
U. S. A." "Lieut. Wilbur, of the
Marine band at. Washington, D. C.,
on furlough," and many other lm

ing 011 his bold front to the extent
of a royal dinner at the best cafes,
or, perchance, a few dollars.
lie "placed" mythical orders for
rail steel and box cars for the
"Honolulu railroad" and had local
railroad men at his beck and call
for daiys.
Wood's fluency in speaking of prtf
nle and events at the four comers
of the country and in Hawaii and
hia plausible explanations of hia lost
check book, or buck of (ready money,
kept him liberally supplied from
many sources with "trifling loans."
On one occasion when tripped Bp
and taken to detective headquart
ers he »xplalnd away has trouble
and was released, only later to be
trailed by detectivs when he opened
a "deal" with a local insurance
agency to insure all bis employes In
Honolulu, and again when ne
"bought'' some musical Instruments
for his nieces, one living in St.
Louis and another, he said, In To
peka.
Arrested when at the end of hia
rop?, Wood was on his way to get a
job as bus boy in a cafe.
Wood admitted to detectives to
day that he had been arrested In
Topeka, Kan., jn 1914 for imperson
ating a government officer and was
fined $1,000 and served thirty days
'n all. He is held by the Portland
federal officers under the name of
Otto Anderson.
Some of the finest looking ore
seen in tlie Klondike lias been, se
cured by the veteran prospector,
Nie1' Donahue, from his property
which lies along tbe ridge the
vicinity of the heads of Gold Run,
creek an. I Portland and Caribou
bencbts, says the Dawson News.
Several hundred pounds of the rock
have been brought to the city, and
i' is 'he intention of Mr. Donahue
to take out a large quantity this
year he states, and to have a ship
mei!* made to the smelter. The
main body of th« rock is of a crys
talline nature with irons tain, and
most of it is free milling. Mr. Don
ahue gays:
"This rock has been assayed by
local assayers of the /big companies
and outside assayers, and the lowest
return we,have received is .$.18 a t(&
while the highest was $402.19 to
'lie ton. ) .
"I have seve«n claims in the
eroup, each 1.500 feet square. Most
ot the prospecting has been done on
the thre.e central claim3, the Dona
hue, the McKay and the Murray.
The best prospect shows the vein a
little over three feet wide at a dept
of fourteen feet. Good ore was on
♦he other claims at from fifteen to
eighteen feet, ajid good outcrops
were found elsewhere. I Intend to
resume work next month. The rock
carries gold, which can be secured
»T free milling process. The sil
ver and lead can be gathreed in con
centrales and shipped. .We hope to
make some big shipments this year."

Production Is increasing each; week
in preparation for the great offens
ive on the western, front, which
British military critics believe will
como next spTing.
"The improvement in, our position
may bo illustrated in this way," re
marked an official of the ministry.
"We are now manufacturing every
weejj three times as many 155 mil
imeter shells, five times as many
200 millimeter shells and three
times as many 230 millieter shells
as we manufactured during the
whole first year of the war.
"Of smaller shells, we are turn
ing out in about a week the same \
quantity as was produced during th«J
'ir&t year. Finally the number of
shells of all kinds completed during
tbo last week exceeded by about 30
per cent til© entire stock of muni
tions held in reserve at the out
break of hostilities." J
Dealing with guns in the same
way, it is found that, representing
♦he number of guns manufactured
during the first year of war by 100,
the number for the second year
would be 841 and for the third year
will be somewhere in the neighbor
hood of 1350. The manufacture of
lighter pieces has had to be slack
ened recently, owing to the fact that
the equipment of the British army
in light field pieces is approximate
ly complete and it is only neces
sary *o provide for replacements and
renewals.
The improvements in tha manufac
ture of machine gums, rifles, gren
adts and explosives has been equal
ly satisfactory.
.Representing the total number of
machine guns delivered to the army
during ♦he first year as 100, the to
tal for the second year was 1250
and for the third year will exceed
6000.
The production of trench! mortar
ammunition and grenades has been
so much developed that any further
increase scarcely seems necessary.
The increase in the manufacture
of explosives hag been trememdous.
For every ton of explosive employ
ed in September, 1914, 350 tons
were employed In July, 1915, and
12,000 tons in July, 1916.
WELL KNOWN COLORED MAN
DIES AFTER LOXG ILLNESS
Iiock Dennis, jvho lias been in
the city for 'wo months, wag found,
dead In his room over the Ken
tucky Buffet at au early Jiour yes
terday morning, says the Juneau
Dispatch of January 28. The dead
man has been in Alaska and the Yu
kon country for over eight years,
iincst of the time •having been spent
•n Dawson. He was born in Cali
fornia and is thrity-eight years of
age. Lately he had been suffering
from asthma and other troubles,
and was not in good health. His
frieuds had planned to give a. dance
for liis benefit; the money raised
for this purpose together 'with fumda
obtained from a subscription now
beli'g takesn up, will be used to bury
him in this city. Dennis was well
liked and respected among his peo
ple in the community. He made a
living playing the banjo.
Mr. Dennis was probably better
known in Skagway as "Splous," and
he has taken part in several stag
entertainment# at which he gave
■selections on his "ol§ banjo" as
he was in the habit of calling his
instrument.
For a number of years past
he has Journeyed into the Interior
in the spring and out again in the
fall, always stopping in Skagway fop
a few days entertaining his many
friends with his oily music and
scngs. He is the composer of the
word? and music of the f amous
scmg. "When the Guggies put the
Klondike on de bum.'"
Friday, February second, is
Ground Hog Day. Keep, a sharp11
lookout for th.e hog, and if he comcd
out while the sun is shining and
becomes frightened at his shawow,
he wiPscamper back into bis bole
and there remain for thirty loag
days. Why no4, ask the Skagway
Commercial Club *o appoint a com
mittee to be prepared, to hold a
blanket over th<5 sua. in case Old
Sol should show an inclination to
