tie camp on mile 2(1 of the railroad last
night shortly* after dark, as he was on
his way hack to the camp at the close j
of the day ’s work. The news was tele
phoned down this morning with the in
formation that no clue had been found
t > the perpet rators.
Borland was in Seward Tuesday even
ing and won some money at gambling.
This with the amount left over from!
his last pay check made up the sum he
lost. An acquaintance who was with '
him says that Borland made a flash of
the money everywhere he went. I his |
is supposed to have attracted tin* at
tention of men who arc* too strong to
work and instead acquire a living by
what i> known as the strong-arm sys
tem.
It is believed that these men obtain
ed passes to go out on the line on T-he j

note of the place where he dropped off
came hack to look for him and his roll.

ASK CONVICTED
MEN TO DESIGN
Oregon Republicans Say They Cannot
Afford to Carry Smirched
legislators.
By Cable to the Gateway
Portland. Ore., Nov.jJ Leaders of
the Republican party of Oregon have
decided to make a formal demand for
the resignations of Senator Mitchell,
and Congressmen Williamson and
Hermann, alleging that their retention
of oilier is working great damage to
the party.
Mitchell and Williamson have been
convicted of violations of federal laws,
and Hermann is under indictment with
a strong pritna facie case against him.
Both Mitchell and Williamson have
appealed from the judgment of convic
tion but each has a sentence of im
prisonment hanging over him, and.
prominent Republicans say that even
though they may have been unjustly
convicted the party ought not to lie
compelled to carry the burden of ob
loquy which the situation involves.
The decision to ask for the resigna
tiods was practically formulated at the
recent “harmony meeting" of Oregon
Republicans, in which the Mitchell
faction had little voice.

COPPER ASSAYS
SHOW RICH ORE
Tests oJ Specimens from K.ishwitne>
and Porcupine Bay Strikes
Pan Out Well.
Additional evidence that, all Southern
Alaska is ringstreaked and spotted
with copper was found this week in
assays made by Harry Ellsworth. (Ur
was of specimens from Porcupine hay
near tin* mouth of Resurrection ha',
and the other from the Kashwhitnex
river. Each showed a good percentage
of copper.
The discovery on Porcupine hay was
made some time ago and has been
known in Seward lor two weeks. Eigh:
claims were located by T. .1. Harris
and S. E. Likes. They uncovered the
vein for some diitanee and finallx had
tin assay made, which resulted so
favorably that they filed the location
not ices of eight claims wit h t lr* ' niter
States commissioner yesterday. The
owners report that the lode is several
hundred feet wide, with a good pax
st retik.
The Kashwhitney river discovery is
apparently much richer in tie* per
centage of copper it carries. It wus
made late this summer by K. S. Wil
liams and Otto Olson. Mr. Williams
came to Seward a week ago and re
ported the find, substantiate! his re
port with some of the finest - > cine 1 *»
of copper ore ever laid before a miner s
eyes. These needed no assax as t hex
wen* nearly all copper.
.Mr. W illiams also brought down a
lot of ore of a lower grade. This I <
left with Mr. Ellsworth tor assay, an*
the returns showed a good percentage.
Mr. Williams went to Seattle on tin*
Santa Clara to interest capital there
in tin* development of his discovery.
He is an old Alaska sourdough of tit**
vintage of 1897 and has a xvide acquain
tance with investors in Alaska mines
both in and out of tin* territory.
The Kashwhitney is an east fork of
the Slu shetna. and the discovery i>
about fifty miles north of Knik Arm.
It was reported in September on tie
inlet and the fact chronicled in the
(.aieway at the lime. Mr. WMlliains
expresses the belief that the entire re
gion is rich in copper.
