COMMISSION
REGULATIN6 ROADS
Inter-State Commerce Commis
sion Has Begun Task of Regu
lating Alaska Roads
Max Kalish, vice-president ami
general manager of I lie Humboldl
Steamship company, ami his
counsel, Charles I'. Muuday, of
Seattle, returned lo Seattle from
Skagway, where Judgo Edgar E.
Clark, of the inter-state cominercc
commission, conducting a hearing
in the much talked about Hum
boldt case. After taking verbatim
I he testimony of several witness
es, the hearing was closed.
Judge Clark remained in Skag
way to take a trip over the White
Pass & Yukon road so a«j lo thor
oughly familiarize himself with
conditions before submitting his
report lo the commission. The
Humboldt Steamship Co. was
granted until Sept. 15 lo file its
brief. The While Pass & Yukon
Co. is given until Ocl. 15 lo have
its brief filed. Judge H. A. Gunni
son appeared as counsel for the
Moore's Wharf Co. and the White
Pass Co., bolh of which corpora
tions are charged with undue dis
crimination against the steamer
Humboldl, in the matter of freight
rales al Skagway and over the!
railroad. II is remembered lhat
the case has been resisted through
the various tribunals up to the!
supreme court. After taking evi
dence in the case in Seattle, Oc
tober. tiiii'.i. the inler-slate com
merce commission declined to as
sume jurisdiction on the ground
thai Alaska was a district, and not
a territory. Since the supreme
court ruled thai Alaska was as a
territory, the task of adjudicat
ing the Humboldl case was as
signed lo the commission.
Judge Clark then made a trip
over the Copper River and North
western road to better familiarize
himself with thai properly. It is
not likely that a decision will be
rendered in I he case until late
this winter.

QUARTZ PROPERTY
IS TAKEN OVER
Chatham Crook Property is Bond
ed and Dlsoloses Some
Rich Ore
There is mi doubt about Burns,
{Mcllroy and ScralTord taking up
I their option on tin; Chatham crook
quartz property of Fred Fey and
the Josson brothers, for since the
option was secured further devel
opments have disclosed some very
good rock, better in fact than any
so far shown in the workings.
After striking their lead the
original prospectors drifted along
it for some distance, when they
came into a five-foot lead that
came angling into the other. Pros
pect work was started on this, but
a pause had to Lh> made to put in
a raise for air.
The purchasers of the properly
have since completed the raise and
instead of proceeding on the largo
ledge have drifted on along the
original one. Their work has dis
closed a two_fool vein of rich
rock.
ScralTord rerenlly left for Daw
son to purchase the LaDuo mill.
This has since been delivered.
Tin* mill has two batteries of
two stamps oaeh and is of a
three-way discharge type, made by
the Joshua Hendry people. Each
stamp weighs 1,250 pounds.
The owners of I lie mill who
have llif properly under option,
plan on installing it on upper
(ihalhaiii creek, where there is a
supply of waler the year around.
They will starl a crew of men
working on the millsile immedi
ately and will have the plant in
working order in a few weeks.—

Nebbe then notified others, and
lie and John Ponnot and Young
Oliam continued tin* search for
the body, bul were unable I<> find
any trace of it.
Deceased was about 30 years
old, single, and is survived, "as far
as known, by a father in Ger
many, and a brother some place
in Montana, supposedly Hitter
Hoot valley. He wa^ industrious
and sober, never touching liquor,
and worked steadily, and is sup
posed to have accumulated a con
siderable sum of money. He of
fered "Scotty" Nichols SI00 Sat
urday to go and buy lumber and
build bim a new boat, but "Scotty"
refused If) take the money, in
forming bim that he would build
him a boat and then hand him a
bill.
One theory is that in attempt
ing to bail out I he boat he upset
it. Unless thrown beyond ils
reach, however, it seems strange
that he did not grasp it and cling
to it. The water of I he lake is
comparatively warm and a man
could remain in it for hours
without physical harm.
Such is the law in Alaska that
I he coroner cannot take any ac
tion unless the IhmIv is recovered,
and the marshal's office cannot
do anything unless there is evi
dence of a crime having been com
mitted. Therefore, it remains
with friends In continue the
search for I lie body and protect
the man's properly for the bene
fit of surviving relatives. Although
technically, without any authority
to act, Deputy Marshal Rrightwell
investigated the case and both he
and Commissioner Scoll are keep
ing track of what is going on.

contained in the car, while the

used in charging had too great
an amperage and not high enough
voltage for the work.
