K.J. Wettrlck, J. W. Vanderbilt and
John Wluu returned this afternoon
from ? mouth's prospecting trip on
Chicago!? Island. They found some
very good looking ore, but as the sam
ples have not as yet been nnsa>ed they
could not give the values. At the De
GrofT mice, which iq 4o miles from llieir
claims, there are 20 men working. The
DeGroff property is handling Jlio rock
iu a four stamp mill driven by steam
power. They have driven a tunnel 500
feet long on the lower level with which
they expect to tap the ledge. Most of
the ore in the upper level has been
stoped out. When the Junoau party
left thev had 140 feet of additional tun
nel work still to do to strike the ledge.
The Mills property, another valuablo
claim 500 yards from the DeGrofT mine,
has discontinued work for the time
being. The owners of this property are
negotiating a sale. Bernard Hirst of
Sitka also has a promising mine north
west of the Mills Bnd DeGrotT proper
ties. Hirst's ore values run extremely
high. Messrs. Wettrlck, Winn and
Vanderbilt staked a group of claims
near Lisianaki strait) on Yacobi island.
While out tUey met over a dozen other
prospectors and Mr. Wettrick informed
iIiIm paper that he felt routldenl Hint

llie showings there would attract still
more next summer.? Juneau Dispatch.
John Marcon, charged before Judge p
Le Fevre with robbiog sluice boxes ul g
the Porcupine mine, was found guilty |
and sentenced to one month's imprison
ment. It was the first c ise of the kind
to come beforo the court and Judge e
Le Fevre explained that to this fact
the prisoner could credit the light
sentence. Some people do not consider
the taking of a nugget from a sluice
box as they would a theft of as much a
value in coin, but in Alaska the o
robbing of the sluices is looked t
upon as a most heinous offense, like tho ^
theft of cattle in a cattle country. Upon
tha protection of the sluice box rests
the whole fabric up in this country,
1 and the court said he intended to puu
j ish offenders in this line to the limit of
the law. He would avail himself of
this case to give warning to that etTect.
The ne\t man found guilty before him
would be severely dealt with.
George L. Taylor and wife, of White
horse, came over last evening and are
