1CQUITTEQ 111 JUNEUt
(Spedal to The Dally Alaskan)
JUNEAU, Sept. 24? Tho thirty Jap
anese seal poachers, who were captur
ed off Sitka early this spring Inside
tho three mile limit by Deputy Mar
shal Arthur Shoup, were acquitted to
day by a jury after a trial In the fed
eral court before Judge Cushman.
The Japanese were defended by At-;
torney Ray of Valdea and Attorney
| Maloney of Juneau. The men will
bo turned over to the Immigration of
ficers and deported.
It was impossible for. the Rovern
ment to prove that the Japanese
schooner had been poaching. The of
ficials are. at a loss to Justify the
libelling of the schooner. The boat
was libelled upon the assumption that
the Jups would be found guilty.

aminer of Alaska and treasurer of tho
Chtchagof Gold Mining Company, who
has been In Fairbanks for some time
examining the national bank, arrived

Mr. Kelly states that the banks of
Fairbanks are in a good condition anil
that augurs well for the commercial
security of the camp. He says that
an unusually large amount of gold
has been handled this year.
In speaking of the Chlcagoff mine,
Mr. Kelly said:
"We firmly believe that Chichagof
will develop Into a real mining camp,
and we are convinced that we have' a
vein of much worth. As showing what
has already been accomplished It may
be stated that the company took out
$150,000 with a four stamp mill.
"This property has been worked for
about three years and has now
reached a stage where it can be called
a fixed proposition.
"Other companies are operating In
the same district and indications poln
to a quartz camp of considerable mag
nitude on the Southeastern coast."
