HOCK <iAMBLING SECOND
FORTI XE FOR TERRITORY
Fairbanks Times: When the
steamer Alaska pulled out from
Cheua Tuesday it had aboard a big
complete prospecting and mining
outfit, consigned to A. Bock at Hot
Springs. Practically all of the out
fit is nc-w, with the exception of a
boil«r, which was bought on Dome
creek, and all of It wag purchased
bv Mr. Bock during his visit to
Fairbanks.
In Alaska, and probably iu the
Cnited States there is no greater
mining gambler and booster than
Adoloh Bock, of Hot Springs. Sev
eral years ago, he struck rich pay
at the lower river camp and cleaned
un approximately 5100,000. He then
started to prospect again, with the
hope oi landing on the paystreak.
Practically every dollar of his for- i
tune was sunk in the ground on
Woodchopper creek, and not only
lug the war up to October 9th are
estimated at fivo hundred thousand
killed, wounded and missing.
It is reported here that Bulgaria
is preparing to confiscate all
French property within her bound
arles In retaliation lor the damage
inflicted on Bulgarians by the
bombardment of Dedeogatcft by <-h9
allied fleet.
The memorial services held -here
today for Edith Caveall, the English
trained nurse who was executed a
few days ago iu Belgium by order
of the Kaiser, drew a big crowd.
his money but his toil was given up
in tho development of the territory.
Notwithstandiag the advice of
friends to quit while he still had a
few dollars left, Mr. Bock continued
determined to either find another
paystreak or go broke la the at
tempt. He was too good a sport for
the gods of fortune to go back ou
and Just when he was bad!y bent
financially, the tide turned and he
struck it, and struck it rich.
During the summer of 1914 he
cleaned up a great deal of money,
variously estimated to be from
$250,000 to $300,000.
Then Mr. Bock's friends advised
him to quit, saying that he had al
most leached the breaking point
once, and he ought not, in justice
to himself, take another chance.
Th° mining man thought for awhile
that i* would be a good idea to
tako tie advice of his friends and
he started for the Outside. He was
in the States but a short time,
however, when he drcided that it
was no place for a sourdough and
he started back. And now he is
at work prospecting more ground an
will spend the winter Bearcliing for
another paystreak., He may never
hit another paystreak, but Uo thinks
he will, and gambler that ho is, he
is willing to risk his second fortune
in the attempt.
And in risking hia fortune, he
feels confident that he can demon
strate that the Hot Springs district
will be a producer for some years
to come, and also show others that
there are great stretches of ground
which will show a paystreak if
properly prospected^

HUGHES HOI
I
Washington, D. C., Oct. 27—The
oft-repeated statement that Justice
Hughes might become a candidate
for president on the republican tick
et in 19 lti, is given a final denial
from a republican high In the coun
cils of the party, aa follows:
The continued discussion of Jus
tice Hughes as a possible republican
candidate for tile presidency next
year does little credit to either the
party or to Justice Hughes. The
justice was thought to have definite
ly removed him;.elf from the field
of active politics five years ago
when he accepted an appointment
to the bench; and there is evidence
in writing, over his own signature
that he continues so to think. In
a letter, addressed to a friend in
New Jersey, Justice Hughes has
made it clear that he regards hia
the Teutonic and Bulgarian cam
pajgn 'a Serbia is practically endei
and the invaders have gained on<
objective in that they have clearet
the river Danube.
Amsterdam, Oct. 29—Kiag Peter
of Servia, «t is announced in to
day's dispatches, will shortly leave
for Italy.
acceptance of a judgeship as a life
contract for a specialized field of
labor from which it would be impro
per for him to retire, from which
he does not intend to retire, and
in which his services might be ser
iously diminished in value if there
is continued discussion of him as
a candidate for political office.
No one will doubt Justice Hughes'
fitness for the presidency. No one
will question the enthusiasm which
his candidacy would arouse. But
this is not the point He has un
dertaken to devote hie life to the
interpretation of laws, not to their
execution; and, as balanced against
one or two terms in the White
House, ha sees in thia \>y far the
larger opportunity for service to
his fellow citizens. He made this
choice deliberately, five years ago.
He still adheres to it. And who
ever seeks in any way to put pres
sure upon him from a political
standpoint does, ae we have said,
no service to Justice Hughes. On
the contrary, such a course tends
to call the justice's sincerity into
question; and, though intended in
a spirit of admiration, is, in reality,
a mark of disrespect.
Furthermore, it CI0&3 not benefit
the 'republican party. We have never
Jieeu in the habit of ravishing the
supreme bench for our presidential
candidates—and there is no paucity
of candidates to impel us to begin
such action now. The republican
nomination for next year is not
going begging. Nor are we, like the
democrats, forced to take one only
as our standard bearer. More than
a dozen men, now favorite sons of
their own communities, will enter
the convention. One of them will
emerge as the favorite eon of a
united and triumphant party. He
will be worthy of the honor. And
when we have nominated him and
