thai which was instrumental iu focus
siug the attouttaa Ol the entire
world on our great country.
Ever since the mabic year of 15t?7
gold has poured irorn the creeks aud
beached ol Alaska and Lieeu convert- ,
ed into money reckoned into millions. !
Hence the sight o f told either mint
ed or mounted at ouee directs oues

What more appropriate then, than
piece of nugget jewelery, either as
a frame for the beautiful mastodon
ivory, stained by the countless years
it has eudured, or nuggets joined in
chaiu work by a skilled artisan. A
brooch or solitary nugget of curious
natural shape is a souveuir which
tells the story of the mad rush to
the Klondike.
The fact that a purchase of uugget
jewelery is iu reality an investment
iu an article that cannot depredate
seems to be dawning upon the vis
itors to the North laud aud the sales
are rapidly increasing in this line
of goods.
H. D. Kirmse has made a study of
the art of nugget jewelery mounting,
and has the finest display of the

AN ACCOUNT OF THE INQUIRY.
(Continued from page 1.)
a witness, probably will appear befor
the committee Wednesday.
The most important point brought
out iu. Dennett's testimony was that
tht claimants represented by Richard
6. Kyau, of New York, said to rep
resent the Guggenheim interests, had
benefited by the omission of one pro
; ision iu the fiuai official papi rs.
i Dennett said that when the excu
.ive order opening the Controiler itay
.and to entry reached his office it
v ouUuued a provision under which eu
! -rymen could not file on the land for
sixty days after the order was is
sued. In some way or other, he din
jot kuow how, he said, this provis
ion was lost or eliminated before the
iinai promulgation of the order.
Replying to the questions, he said
the effect of the omission would be
to give advantage to those on the
ground who happened to know of
the order.
Dennett said that the first draft
which, in accordance with the usual
custom, was prepared at the Depart
ment of Agriculture, contained the 60
days' provision, but that it was not
.n the order as finally signed by the
President.
"Who struck out?"
"1 do not know."
Dennett testified the Cunningham
! > oal land claims were under investi
| ,-ation before the Controller Bay land
j was opened to entry under executive
>rder. This land had been with
drawn in 1907.
"Just prior, then, to the start of
the Cunningham case," said Fennell,
"the Controller Bay lauds had been
withdrawn and were in the power of
the President?"
"Yes," Dennett replied.
He declared that the executive or
der opening the lands had not been
held up by the Interior Department.
He said the proclamation was signet!
October 28, printed copies received
five days later and on the next day
sent to the register of the general
land office at Juneau, Alaska, to be
posted and made public there in the
customary way.
Dennett testified that he knew noth
ing of a letter from R^an to Bollin
ger, signed "Dick" and addressed to
"Dick" and relating to Charles P.
Taft's alleged appeai to the President
in the Controller Bay maitor. He ex
plained that the land commissioner's
office is distinct from the secretary's
office, and that such a letter would
not necessarily come to his attention.
Chairman Graham, of the commit
tee, asked Dennett to furnish copies
of all telegrams and correspondence
regarding the Controller Bay claims
and the report dealing with the sur
vey made there.
Secretary Fisher, of the Interior
Department, issued a statement to
day concerning the interv iew attribut
ed to him by Miss Abbott, in which
she referred to a postscript to a let
ter from Ryan to Secretary Ballinser.
"No reference? whatever," says
Fisher, 'was made in this interview
to what Miss Abbott very properly
calls the 'amazing postscript,' which
she says she found attached to a let
ter to Secretary Ballinger from Mr.
Ryan, nor was this postscript ever
mentioned or referred to In any
other interview which 1 have ever
had with Miss Abbott or any one
else prior to its publication in a Phil
adelphia newspaper.
"I am told upon my return today
that the most diligent search of the
records of this office has failed to
disclose any such document, and
every one who has searched the rec
ord says most einphaticajly that he
has never seen this postscript or any
other writing of this character. This
includes Mr. Brown, who was pri
vate secretary to Secretary Bal
linger."
It was stated at the White House
today that a careful search of the
files in the executive offices failed
to ravoal any record ot & letter to
the President from Charity p. Taft
concerning Ryan Or In any way
upon the Controller Bay affair.
Immediately following his return
to Washington today President Taft
set hla office force to work to inves
tigate the Controller Bay affair. All
four of the departments interested
were requested to make investigatio! a
and report auy Information that
might be found.
The Controller Bay and Charles
P. Taft letter files were searched for
a letter to the President from his
brother in regard to this matter, the
report that such' a letter had been
brought to the President's attention
for the first time this morning. A
telegram has been sent to Charles P.
Taft's secretary at Cincinnati asking
th\t an inquiry for such letter be In
stituted there. President Taft said
that he had never discussed R. S.
Ryan or Controller Bay with his
brother and had received no letter so
far as he could remember.
It is explained that R. S. Ryan,
representing the Controller Bay Na\
isation Company, secured a frontage
of eighty rods on Controller Bay. The
government retains every other eigh
ty rods of the water front on the
bay, making, the department officials
declare, a monopoly impossible. At
the White House it was said that
there had been no secrecy or any
thing unusual In the order opening
Controller Bay to entry. The mat
terw as passed upon by the cabinet
in regular form, it was stated.
Ashmum Brown, former secretary
to Mr. Ballinger, from whom Miss
Abbott claims to have secured the
letter, has denied absolutely any
knowledge of It According to pub
lished accounts. Miss Abbott will
testify that she found attached to a
typewritten letter from R. S. Ryan
to Ballinger, dated June 13, 1910, this
note or postscript:
"Dear Dick: I went to see the
President the other day about this
Controller Bay affair. The President
asked me whom it was I represented.
I told him, according to our agree
ment, that I represented myself. But
that did not seeni to satisfy him. So
I sent for Charles P. Taft and asked
him to tell his brother who It was I
represented. The President made no
further objection to my claim.
Yours, DICK."

NEW STRIKE
HI eiG THING
The report has reached Skagway '
through passengers who came In on j
Inst night's train that a big strike ;
had been made in a new tunnel of :
the Big Thing mine at Carcross.
The Big Thing has been shipping j
good paying ore for some time past, !
but this recent strike is in the new
thirteen hundred foot tunnel at ?
lower level.
For some time past a crew has
been at work driving in the tunnel
to tap the vein and It is reported
that this has Just been accomplished.
It was not expected to reach it short
of going from 2 to 3 hundred feet
farther than they had reached a few
days ago the tapping of the vein
quickly romos as & surprise.
It Is said that the strike shows a
17-foot vein of the richest kind of
ore ? better than any yet found In th?>
aaift.

He said he had seen some of the
gold from the new strike back of

"I have noticed ail my life" said
Mr. Vawtcr," in following the career
of mining towns, that in most camps
it is always darkest Just before dawn.
'When a camp is apparently on Its
last legs some one goes out and
makes a new strike and the place
takes on new life. This is especially
so in the north. It was so in Fair
banks, Nome, the two camps I have
just been talking about and others.
" I was just thinking as I walked
about Skagway that It Is time for it
to happen here. The little talk I
have heard, and read about the pros
pects, and about your proposed sam
pling mill, have impressed me with
the idea that old Skagway Is about
due for a new career. You have
certainly gone about It the right way.
in deciding to build the sampling mill
here. It is the very best thing yon
could have done. There is nothing
that you could have had that will
stimulate prospecting so quickly and
effectively as the knowledge that *
man can get his ore tested right on
the ground and have a thorough mill
est at that
"Prom the ore samples you have
here and the looks of the place, T
can't see why this place will not de
velop Into a good mining camp, and
I should certainly like to see It. Tf
your mill develops only one paying
mine this old place will come back
to the glory of Its palmy day* ?
much better than that because It will
be founded on prosperity of a per
manent nature."
