Alaska Gold Production for 1908
Scuttle. Oft. 9—Special Correspond- |
ence.—The government assay ofliee |
in Seattle handles about CD percent of
the total gold production of Alaska i
and Yukon, the balance being shipped 1
directly to the San Francisco and '
Philadelphia mints or to the Canadi- !
an?mint. The percentage sent to Se- j
attlev does not vary one percent in |
the different years and the receipts i
are therefore an excellent barometer
of ih«.* gold production. The receipts
tor,the lirsl eight months of 190S were i
$ 1U,082,249 as compared with $S,732,- j
870 for the same period in 1
1007. In the last live years the re
ceipts during September and October
have averaged $Jl,5UO,ono and for No
vember and December about §950,000 I
each. These averages will probably |
be exceeded fully lr» percent thi> year
making the total receipts f«>r 1 H<the [
sum of $is, 507,210. During the Alas-!
ka-Yukon- 1'aeifie Kxposition next '
year, the U. S. Assay ofliee will main
tain a branch on the grounds.

BLAMED FOR ACCIDENT
Seattle, Oct. 22—Defective steer
ing gear on the Cottage City is the
reason given by her pilot, Capt. Craig,
for the collision between the steam
ship and the lumber schooner Bain
bridge. Pilot Craig declares that he

the Cottage City to have avoided ac
cident had she answered promptly to
her helm.

the blame almost entirely on the Cot
tage City, although the lirst aeeount
ol the collision held the schooner to
be equally to blame.

make San Francisco known as one of
the cities in the United Stales, which,

that human ingenuity can devise for

Sullivan Cnsc i« DiamiHaed
Judge Hrid this morning dismissed
the indictment against M. J. Hullivan
iind others, charged with rioting.
The ease grows out of trouble near
Katalla hot ween the Bruner railroad
people and the management of the
Katalla Company, the indie'merit, bft*
inghronght last year. The dismissal
oi the ease was upon the motion of
the district attorney, who is satisfied
that a convict ion is impossible owing
to the fact that the rival parties of
workmen were acting under instruc
tions from the "higher-ups" against
whom there is no legal evidence.
