JACK G. ROSS
GOES INSANE
The Victoria News-Miner says: Im
agining that he was a Rockefeller. i
Jack C. Ross, the former big oper
ator on Cleary Creek, began to spend
money so lavishly that his mental
condition was Inquired into and as
a result he has been adjudged insane
and Is now under the care of physl- |
ciiins at Victoria. H was spending
money at such a rate under the de
lusion that he was a multimillionaire
that It was found necessary to take
steps to prevent him from squander
ing his entire fortune. Mrs. Ross
and Herbert Wilson, his associate In
business, have been appointed guard- 1
ians over his estate. Mr. Ross would
make out checks in a bank and then
go out into the street and scatter
them broadcast. Giving away money
right and left, he started to build a
$'>.000 automobile garage. Jack Ross
and Herbert Wilson, It Is estimated,
cleaned up over $100,000 each in their
mining operations on Cleary creek.
Although still a young man, Ross was
one of the pioneers in the Yukon. He
was at Juneau in 1897 and Joined in
the rush to Dawson, afterward coming
to Fairbanks. Last year he went out
side with his family and purchased a
home at Victoria. Both he and Mr.
Wilson have disposed of their Inter
ests In the Fairbanks district and in
vested their money in Cordova, Alas
ka. Tacoma and Victoria.

SEATTLE. Feb. 2 ? Erastus Braln
ard, editor of the Seattle Post-Intel
llgencCr, handed in his resignation to
day following a signed declaration by
all the members of the editorial force
that they would not remain on the
paper unless Mr. Brainard resigned.
For the past few months there has
been friction in the P-I office and
the relations between Brainard and
his sub-editors have been strained.
Street Commissioner Dillon has
been acting on the theory that "an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" and has kept tho steam thal
