WASHINGTON, July 8.—The sen
ate today repealed the law which re
quired Alaskan railroads to pav a tax
of $100 per mile and one of the most
serious drawbacks to the railroad
business in the territory has thereby
been removed.
The vote was taken unexpectedly
although the proposal *» take off the
tax has been before congress for
some time. The agitation to repeal
the law has been particularly carried
on sin e the Seward Peninsular rail
road was compelled to suspend oper
ations owing to the prohibitive
; mount to which the taxes came but
every railroad interest in Alaska has
been busy also.
\ remarkable fact connected with
the repealing of the law is that the
( oppe • River and Northwestern Rail
v ad company pax! its mi cage ia\
*. arly a week ago. The sum aniount
Cto* ’’early $20,000 but an effort ;s
already being made to have the
money lefunded. The company put in
it> application for the return of the
>v >nev within an hour after the pass
ing of the* repeal bill and claims it on
ti c* ground that no other road has
raid the tax for the year. It is the
opinion that the money cannot be re
cover *d.

CONFER WITH WILSON
ON \ NT I-Tit l. ST QCKSTION
WASHINGTON. July 1)—Ten mem
bers of the Chicago Association of
business men conferred yesterday
with President Wilson on the anti
trust urogram of the administration.
The opposition papers have taken no
tice of the fact that the radical
measures which the* administration
were contemplating will not be pro
ee *ded with until the views of the
business interests are thoroughly well
ascertained. These papers build on
this supposition the prophesy that tin*
anti-trust program will he by no
means as radical as had been intend

SHIP GAYHEAD
COMPLETE LOSS
WRECKED NEAR CHIGNIC AND
CREW BROUGHT TO SEWARD
ON STEAMSHIP DIKIGO
The Dirigo this morning landed the
shipwrecked officers and crew of the
Whaler Gayhead, wrecked on the
morning of June 27th at Castle C ape
near Chignic. The Gayhead, ( apt. G.
W. Porter, went ashore in a heavy
fog and rain, striking a reef and hog
ging the hull, driving one huge bould
er up through the bilge and complete
ply gutting the ship. All hands were
taken off in the boats, saving in mos:
instances the clothes that they stood
i ip. and nothing more.
Captain Porter stayed long enougn
to rescue the ship’s papers and log
and with a hastily gathered handful!
of provisions put off. At this time
the sea was breaking over the ship
and it looked as though it would only
be a matter of minutes until the hull
l loke up.
The crew was landed on the beach
and spent two days there until the
.storm broke and then made their way
to Chignic. Captain Porter took a
tannery tender and in company with
two other captains made a trip to
Castle Cape and examined the wreck.
After a careful examination it was
decided that it would be impossible to
save anything as the hull was fast
breaking up and many of the oil casks
had been stove in so the wreck was
knocked down to the Northwest fish
eries company for $120. With good
luck they may he able to salvage the
boiler, donkey engine and some oil. At
the time of the wreck the Gayhead
had on board D”»74 gallons of sperm
oil completely covered by insurance, a
blanket* policy for $:15.000 covering
■ h* cargo and another policy of $">,000
*n ‘he hull.
The Gayhead was an obltime wha
built on the Maine coast and un

REBELS REFUSE 10
TREAT WITH HUERTA
WASHINGTON, July 8.—u pat
ches received last night from Mexico
state that the rebels have refused
point blank to enter into negotiations
with Huerta and that any proposals
made by this country about plans for
a conference will be rejected.
This news, should it be proved to
be correct, is regarded as nullifying
all the efforts to bring about a settle
ment of the trouble and right today
i peace seems as far off as ever.
According to the latest news the
rebels will have a much greater dif
ficulty in capturing the capital than
had been at first expected and Huerta
is declared to feel perfectly sate for
at least a long time to come.
SALTILLO. July !>.—General Olire

he could begin his attack on the town
itself. Confirmation of the story tohl
by Obregon is lacking and such a vic
tory is regarded as doubtful.

PARIS, July 9.—Theodore Roose

attack today when Henry Savage
Landor, the famous explorer and

subsequently published Landor ridi
Mjled the claim of Roosevelt to have

“He says he found a river, says
Lander, “and afterwards we know
that he crossed the river on a bridge.

a man discovered a bridged T \ei.

J. C. Tolman returned this morn in*
from Kodiak Island in company rtn
1 \V. O. Edmands of Upper Lake, c a1 ,
who has been having a try at the !a
j mous Kodiak brown bear. Owing to
| adverse weather conditions the hunt
1 ing was not as good as H would nave
been ordinarily but desp t; this
' Edmands succeded in bagging one
good sized bear and is well olease l
! with the result of the hunt. Mr. U» -
! man states that it has rained c.cry
i day with the exception of four days
; since the party left Seward and con
i ditions were such that it was almost
impossible to hunt. They got the
only bear that was sighted during tee
trip and saw enough signs to warrant
them in believing that ’ nder ordinary
conditions they would have had no
trouble in getting a limit bag.
i
SPEAKS HIGHLY OF
TFRNAGAIN CO INTRY
Judson C. Hubbard, the mining en
gineer who has recently returned
from a trip through the Turnagain
Arm district, speaks in very flatG
ing terms concerning the future o/
that section as a placer camp. Mr.
Hubbard who is operating some large
properties in Oregon says that in nis
opinion Resurrection Creek in Lie
Hope district is one of the best hye
raulic propositions that he has ev» r
seen and bases his opinion or; th - fact
that the #rold is so evenly distr:ou «• :
throughout the* gravel that mi; i'.'
there is simply a business question of
figuring out your yardage, and on a
count of the eveness of the value
hydraulicking becomes a simple bu. •
ness proposition. Resurrection i re* k
for miles in length and for the ‘Tire
width of the valley averages dose to
fifty cents per yard and mining tin i“
just consists of moving yardage in ;■
economical manner.
There are a number of outfits Min
ing there now and all are mu .• g
money. The Matthieson Mining « o »v
pany * who have been working there
for the past several years have a <•**«
at work and while they started due
this season, they are good rno
ahead now and are clearing from o? • •
