demands that President Huerta re

ignation he is not to leave General
Blanquet and any of the cotorie by
which he is surrounded, as his suc
cessor in office It is freely pre

! tions that have been under consid

bombardment of coast cities by Uni
ted States battleships.

MERCHANTS WILL
KEEP TRAIL OPEN
The merchants of Valdez, accord
ing to the following extract from th
Daily Prospcctor of that place, ap
pear to be enterprising and go
ahead kind of business men, keen
sighted and willing to lay out a
few dollars to advance their own in
tenests and the interests of the
town in which they live. And not
only that, thej; work together for
the common rood and don't haug
back nnd wait to see how much thei
neighbors are ccing to give before
making their own contributions.
It (fid not take the Valdez men
long to see .the necessity of im
mediate action if they expected to
reap any benefits from the big rush
to the new gold fields of the inter
ior, which there can now be no reas
onable doubt, will commence early
next year; a.id recognizing the ne
cessity they have joined hands and
are working with might and main
to bring the tide of travel their
way. '
While we believe the natural
route to the Cliisana is through
Skagwjy and Whiiehorse, we can but
admire the spirit of enterprise that
animates our western neighbor:
"The merchants of Valdez have
decided to keep the winter road op
en from Valdez to Willow creek and
they will call for bids from the
freighters in a few days providing
for having the road marked from
Valdez across the summit and kept
open from the roast to Willow creek
"Already a large number of pros
pectors and miners are prefiaring
to go from Valdez to the Nelchina
and Chisana and they prefer to
leave over tha government road
because of the great saving in lime
and money.
"The roadhouse keepers also in
tend to co-operate with the Valdez
business men and will help to keep
the road open, while the govern
ment will use the Valdez route, tak
ing supplies to the different tele
graph stations along the line.
"For the first time in several
years every ro.idhou.se from Valdez
to Willow cresek will be kept open.
The Ernestine roadhouse being the
last to open, when Harry Miller sent
supplies and eequipment over the
road last week."

MONUMENT TO BE RAISED
TO GOLD DISCOVERER
St. Petersburg,—It is Just 100
years ago that a girl of 14, Katia
Bogdanoff, while playing ,on the
banks of the River Molkowka, a
tributary of the Kama, found a glit
tering stone, which afterwards was
found to be a solid gold nugget. Ka
tai, whose chance led to the dis
covery of extensive gold deposits in
the Ural mountains, had her nugget
roughly snatched away from her,
and received as a reward twenty
five strokes of the birch, adminis
tered by order of a foreman of the
then existing Demidoff iron works.
This man, 1u his ignorance, fear
ed that the Russian government, to
whom belongs by law all precious
metal found in the soil, would on
hearing of the find put him out of
employment and permit only gold
mining in the region. The news of
the nugget could, however, not be
entirely suppressed in this way, al
though the first gold washing oper
ations in the Urals were not under
taken until ten years later.
Today the Ural gold mines pro
duce more thau 1,000 cwt. of gold
every year. The mine owners have
now decided, by way of a tardy rec
ognition, to ciect a statue of little
Katia on the spot where she found
the first nugget.
GLACIER CREEK CO.
IS IN FINE SHAPE
The Glacier Creek Gold Mining
company, located a short distance
north of Haines, has closed down
operations for this year, after hav
ing experienced a very successful
season.
As a result of the work of the
past few months the company now
has on hand 400,000 feet of lum
ber, cut, matched and seasoned, the
right of way p'epared fo> flumes and
pipe lines and one camp started
with messhousa, warehouse, barn
and winter quarters for men.
Everything is also in readiness fo
the installation of the hydraulic
plant which it is the intention of
the company to bring in early next
spring, and it is expected to have it
in full operation for at least two
months mining work before the
close down next fall.
The comppny still has several
men employed in getting out tim
bers and underpinning and will
probably keep them at this work all
winter.

ROBERT JORDOl OF WLDEZ IS
PARDONED BY THE PRESIDENT
Washington, Nov. <—President
Wilson today pardoned Robert Jor
ilon, who was sentenced in June of
this year to serve six months in the
jail at Valdez and also to pay a
fine of $250.
Jordon was arrested for ejecting
a companion from a bunk house
which they occupied jointly, and
who refused to keep it in an un
sanitary condition.
He was found guilty within ten
minutes of his arrest and was re
fused the advice and services of an
attorney.
HUMAN POLLY.
I remarked to Dr. Skate: "I'm
increasing In my weight, and it'B
giving me the blues, for I cannot tife
my shoes, so I want a pint of pills,
or a syrup made of squills, or some
other kind of dope; you can pull me
down, I hope?" All the time at
heart I know that I really ought to
go to the woodpilee with aa ax, and
get down to old brass tacks. Oh,
I ought to do my chores and get
busy out of doors, beating carpets
good and hard, cleaning up the lit
tered yard, with a mind and heart
at peace, ithus dispose of my
grease. But, instead, I trot a
block, and consult the four-eyed doc,
and he shakes his head .and sighs,
and he looks confounded wise, and
gives me pellets labeled "Nux" and
assesses me three bucks. And some
forty million jays are aa foolish, all
their days. Ills and aches would
travel hence if we'd use a little
sense. If you have an aching tooth,
have it pulled at once, good youth.
But of course that simple plan won't
appeal to any man; you will nurse
your throbbing jaw and denounce
the moral law, blow yourself for
patent cures ntd the chloroform that
lures; then, with agony accursed, do
what should be done at first. Most
of us are dotards dense; few of us
have any sense.—WALT MASON.
WILL COMB UP FOR
EARLY CONSIDERATION
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 4—Senator
Jones of Washington state is con
fident that Alaskan railway legisla
tion will come up for early consider
ation at the next regular session of
congress.
Shipments of vegetables to Seat
tle from Haines still continue. When
the Dolphin was on her way south
the other day she stopped at the
Alaskan town and took on board 40
sacks of rutabagas and turnips con
signed to outside commission houses.
HORRIBLE, IF TRUE.
A woman refugee from the town
of Durango, Mexico, while awaiting
in San Diego, Cal., for transporta
tion to her home, related , the fol
lowing Btory, which if true, may we!I
demonstrate that the advice of Pres
ident Wilson to Americans in Mex
ico .to return home for safety, was
not idle fear and should have been
heeded. This woman said that "one
oI the worst cutrages inflicted on a
young American and his wife was
discussed on board the transport Bu
ford on the .way to San Diego. The
rebels of Gen. Carranza seized the
couple in their home at i Durango.
Roped the husband fast and tied his
wife to her bed, where thy finally
killed her. i
"Twenty seven Americans were
lined up against a building in Du
rango to be shot by the Carranzis
tae, but just as the first was to be
shot, a Mexican maiden rushed I in
front of him and pleaded with her
countrymen not to I shoot. Other
Mexican girls also ran up, and
through their efforts with the Mexi
can rebels saved the Americans for
the time at least. I
"While there has been some re
straint of muider and robbery of
Americans, there has been none for
the rich 'Mexicans.
