Sheriff O'ConneH Wired That He Would Not
Appear—Case Settled.
^"Release Warnock. Will not appeal*,
$ J,e^ O'Council, Sheriff."
..vTlifc above telegram, bearing an Hel
^fia, Mont., date, was received by Jus
tice Gearey about I o'clock this after
noon. It is self explanatory. When H.
V. Warnock, the young man arrested
in this city about ten days^ago on a
charge oi being a fugitive frprii justice,
entered the courtroom at 2 o'clock
this afternoon to answer the charge,
the foregoing telegram was handed
him. He read the message with a
smile, and was formally discharged by
the magistrate.
Warnock stated that the party who
caused his arrest entered his office in
Helena a number of weeks ago and
vfanted him to buy twenty shares of a
certain company's stock and left $225
Jt) pay for the stock. The certificate!
wanted were seldom sold on the mar

and the customer was made acquainted.

take some time to secured the limited
number of shares as they would have
to be bought at private sale from some
small holder. A11 order was at oncc
placed for the stock and the money for
warded. Warnock believed that his
partner, who succeeded him in the
conduct of the business, would look
after the deal ftnd deliver the stocks
when they arrived. From what War
nock says the Customer thought that
no order had been placed for the
stocks and that Warnock had skipped
out with the money. It is believed that
the officers have investigated War

For State News Rc|d The
COAL ALONG THE YUKON.
Government Report of the Coal in thci Yakon
Section of Alaska.
"Ttie'coal Resoirrces of the Yukon,"
is the subject of Bulletin No. 218 of the
United States Geological Survey, whicli
has just been published for gratuitous
distribution. The author is Arthur J.
Collier, who, with two assistants, spent
the summer of 1902 in examining the
coal deposits along the Yukon River, in
Alaska. This little party of three left
Seattle early in June and went by steam
er and railroad to Dawson, Yukon Ter
ritory, where a canoe and row boat were
purchased. On June 15 they, left Daw
son and, following the course of the
river, spent the succeeding three months
in a study of the geology and coal re
sources for 1,200 miles along the Yukon.
While the greater part of the investiga
tion was confined to the actual river
bank, yet the work was extended away
from the stream when time arid "circum
stance would permit. Nearly all title
known coal beds acessible from the
Yukon were Examined. Collections of
'fossils were made from fifty-three local
ities, and in numerous instances tfiese
collections were sufficient to determine
the age of the coal beds. These studies
and colections have thrown much ilght
on some of the vexed problems of
Yukon stratigraphy, but the purpose of,
the present report is to summarize the
aconomic results of the investigations
of the coal and to consider briefly their
commercial bearing, while the discussion
of the more purely scientific problems
is left for another report.
Only a few geographers and travelers
realize the greatness of the Yukon. It
is one of the mighty streams of the
continent, having a length of about 2,400
miles, of which 1,300 miles are in
Alaska. It is navigable by steamer for
over 2,000 miles and in both winter, and
summer is the great natural highway of
travel through the interior of Alaska.
Exploration has naturally started from
its banks and development has cen
tered along its course. The city of Daw
son, in Canada territory, is the most im
portant settlement on the Yukon, and the
traffic of the river consists largely of
freight to this point. The steamers ply
ing on the Yukon—in 1898 and 1899 they
numbered nearly 100—have up to the
present time depended for fuel on wood
cut and piled on the river banks. A
few of the river steamers now burn
coal altogether others burn both coal
and wood. Up to the present time wood
has been easily obtainable near the river'
banys, but since the timber of the
Yukon is small and of slow growth, the
supply is limited and the wood cutters
have been obliged year after year to
bring the wood a greater and greater
distance to the river. Coal mines have
been operated at a number of points.
Those in operation during 1902 are lo
cated at Five Finger Rapids and Cliff
Creek, both in Canadian territory, and
at several points near Nulato, in Ameri
can territory. This coal has been burn
ed with varying success by Yukon River
steamer*., TJjf ie*uk», obtiuoed 4efsmd

on a number of factors, among therp
the character of teh coal, the appliances
for burning coal on the steamers, and
the experience of the firemen.
The coal deposits of the Yukon are
wiscussed under three divisions, those
of the Circle province, the Rampart
province and the Nulato province. De
scriptions are the beds and analyses of
samples are given in detail. AJl the
coals that have been mined in the Yukon
Basin are either high grade lignites or
rather low grade bituminous coals.
With only one exception, all the coals
examined in Circle and Rampart prov
inces are lignites, or at least lignitic,
those of the Circlep rovince probably be
ing al ittle higher grade than those of
the Rampart province. All the coals ex
amined in the Nulato province fall with
in the bituminous grade. Many steam
boat men prefer tliel ignitic coal from
Cliff Creek mine, in the Circle province,
to the coals from the vicinity of Nulato,
as the former burns more freely and
produces heat more quickly than do
theroals of the lower river.
The workings of the mines are of
very limited extent. Timber is con
venient and ventilation is easily obtained
by air shafts to the surface. No trouble
with gas has yet been experienced, and
safety lamps have not been required.
Care must be. exercised with the lignites
the Circle and Rampart provinces to
prevent spontaneous combustion of the
coal after it is mined, and instances are
reported of the beds taking fire. With
one exception,,none, of the mines along
the Yukon in American territory are
equipped with bunkers or other con
veniences for loading the coal on the
steamers. It is piled on the river bank
and loaded with wheelbarrows.
The whol^ amount of coal produced
in American territory along the Yukon
ihas probably not exceeded 9,000 tons,
.representing a value of about $76,000.
The future development of the Yukon
coal resources probably depends not only
on the wood supply but on the practica
bility of using oil as fuel on the Yukon
steamers. Some of the companies oper
ating steamers have begun to mage ar
rangements to use oil from southern Cal
ifornia for steaming purposes.
Because of the limited extent of the
coal bedts of the Yukon of the character
of the coal, the cost of mining, and the
distance of the mines from a market,
they will probably never afford coal for
transportation, but with proper develop
ment they will probably be sufficient to
supply all local demands that are at
present foreseen.
