Must Go To Trial.
I:
? -
The defendants In the great trans
portation cases will have to stand
trial according to the decipiou render
ed by Judge R. W. Jennings this morn
ing, denying the motion to dismiss the
certain action in which the point wasI
raised that, the government having
gone to trial on an indictment charg
ing two counts without election and
the defendant having been acquitted
on one of them, it is now too late for
the government to elect to stand on
the other count.
According to the court's interpreta
tion the defendants are in error in
claiming that they were acquitted on
one of the counts, and in claiming that
the court did not elect to try on the
other. It is the opinion of the court
that when the government dismissed
one of the counts and went to trial
on the other It constituted an election
to try on that count only. The dif-,
ference between the conduct of Sum
mers case and the case in question is
pointed oat by the court. Summers
standing on his rights and refusing to
go to trial unless the government des
ignated which particular count he must
prepare to defend himself against,
while the defendants in the present
case went to trial on the count the
government decided to try and which
ended without a verdict.
Defendants Coming.
Advices received here are that the
principal defendants in the transpor
tation cases will come North on the
Mariposa sailing from Seattle Friday
of this week and arriving here on the
night of February 2. The flrst of the
trials Is set for February 3.

Soldier* Get Three Months. F
Ben Booth and Victor McNeel, two 1
soldiers from Fort Seward, were sen-,
tenced to three months In the Federal a
jail by Judge R. W. Jennings today up-! s
on pleading guilty to the indictment s
charging them with selling liquor to t
Indians. A. W. Fox addressed the h
court for the former and J. H. Cobb1
performed the same service for the lat-;
ter. Both attorneys laid stress upon li
the fact that dismissal from the army f
would be a severe punishment that t
would follow in addition to any sen- r
tence that might be imposed upon c
them by the court. ] t
Before sentence was passed upon f
the latter H. H. Folsom, assistant dis
trict attorney, asked him if he was the o
soldier that had gone to Deputy mar- t
shal Warren Harding, telling him that o
he had sold liquor to Indians and ask
ing him to come along and see some
others who had done the same thing v
with the idea of getting convicted and n
through this dismissal from the army. I (l
McNeel denied any such act stating;
that he had only two years to serve. : t
Officer Thinks Soldier* Seek Convic- a

Are soldiers breaking into jail to j

sent to Mexico, and that upon being
sent to Fort Seward instead, that they

MALONEY WANTS
JUNEAU LABORATORY
That Alaska Bhould ask (or the es
tablishment of a metalurglcal and min
.?raloglcal laboratory at Juneau by the
Federal bureau of mines Is the first
recommendation contained in the first
mnual report of Territorial Mining In
jpector William Maloney which has
!>een submitted to the Governor.
Mr. Maloney also Recommends that
the eight-hour working day should be
?xtended to all underground employ
ies, whether they are working in
lunrtz or placer mines;
That owners and operators of mines i
should bo required to register with the
nine Inspector, and set forth the name
)f the mine, its character, the loca
lon, name of person in charge, prin
:Ipal place of business, the number of;
ictual employees and prospective rium- j
)er of employees, etc.;
That the mine Inspector should be
>rovlded with blanks for reports to
>e mado by mine operators and their
Lgents, setting forth these and othor
>articulars, including accounts of ac
:ldents, etc.;
That it should be made a crime for!
my operator or employee of a minej
vilfully or wantonly to neglect any<
irecaution against endangering life or I
njury to employees, or to violate the
?ules provided for their safety:
That the mine Inspector should be
jrovided with funds for ofllce assist
ance and for deputies, to assist in the
ield work; he particularly asks that
leputies be provided to visit the new j
:amps.
i I.?- i
Mr. Maloney reports that 24 lives
vere lost last year through accideats
n mining operations?15 of them in
he quartz mines of the Territory and
line in the placer.
There are approximately 8,000 men
miployed, he says, making 3 deaths
o the 1,000 employed. He thinks this
lumber too high.
Much of the work in the placer dls
ricts now is confined to "sniping" out
he pillars that were left in to sup
ort tbe earth and overlooked corners
n old mines, according to the report,!
nd this is extra hazzardous employ
iient.
Labor Supply Ample.
The labor supply has been ample,
ccordlng to the report, and in some
daces there.were more men than t\ie
ituatfon requires. This was due. how
ver, to the lack of rain which restrict
d mining operations.
rairbanka Conditions Fairly Satisfac
tory.
The inspector found conditions fairly
atlsfactory at Fairbanks, though ho i
ays ventilation could be improved In
ome Instances. The working out of
he richer deposits here as at Nome.
,e says, has curtailed the output.
Quartz Mining Gaining.
Mr. Maloney finds that quartz min
ng is becoming important In the
'airbanks and Nome districts, ,but
hat operations are confined to the J
ichest lodes on account of the high
ost of production, due to excessive
ransportation charges.
rorty Dredgers on Seward Peninsula.
The report says that 40 dredgers are
perated on Seward peninsula, and
hat 300 men are employed in their |
peratlon.
Wages from $3.50 to $o ana uoara.
The mining inspector finds that the,
??ages for men employed In Alaska's
lines runs from $3.50 without board
o $5 a day and board. The former ob
ain along the coast in the quartz dis-j
ricts, and the latter at Fairbanks and
t Nome in the summer time. In the
cinter times the wages at Nome are
3 to $3.50 and board.
No Strikes or LockOuts.
The report shows that conditions
ave been satisfactory to employees,
,nd that there have been no strikes
r lock-outs.
New Districts Uncertain.
Mr. Maloney says in his report that j
here ha3 been insufficient develop
nent work In the Chlsana, Nelchina
ind Andreaofsky strikes to determine
mything as to their richness or extent j
NEW CITIZENS.
Three brothers, William, Joseph and
Alexander Robertson, natives of Scot-1
and; Robert Duncan, also a native
if Scotland, and Benjamin R. Leavers :
. native of England, were all admitted

if the district court yesterday after- j
