WITNESSES BEING HERD
IN THE BRANDEIS CASE
WASHINGTON. D. May 12.—
The feature of the situation as far
as legislative action is concorned
today which attracts most attention
is unquestionably the hearing m the
Braudels nomination which is now
being heard in public.
Witnosses against Judge Braudels
were brought before the judiciary
committee from the east, the middle
west and the west, and centered
upon hia activities as government at
torney especially when with the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
All day long a regular file of these

Ideas.
The case is being followed with
great Interest by the papers, some
publishing just what they deem ei
fective It opposed to Brandels and
suppressing the rest.
Attempts by supporters of the
Brandies nomination to discover
who got the witnesses to testify
were not successful in disclosing
that.
The general view in most circles
is the hopeful one that the brazen
attempt to keep Brandels off the
Supreme Bench is over-doing Itself
and that the sesato will bo forced
to confirm him eventually. The
senate seems determined to force the

EARLY SPRING BEGAN
IN INMACKUCK DISTRICT
According to Oscar Swan who ar
rived down Tuesday from the Inma
chuk this country is away behind in
springtime advancement compared
with the favored region that he left j
There water was four feet on the j
river and travel across the Keewalik j
was all but impossible; two weeks!
before he left the snow was gone and
only a little left in drifted spots to
remind one of the severity or the
winter. As to mining conditions he
says that he and Louis Erickson
were prospecting all winter but hart
not been rewarded by an El Dorado
Johnson, Grant and Tracey had out
a large dump of good pay. Fay
had been found by Emil Posterls,
and Harry llourne and Knapp on No.
2 above had also located black gold
coarse and remunerative and were
getting ready their camp when he
left. Tom Roust who had been
drilling through the lava beds for
an old pay channel had struck very
good prospects In the very last holo
he had sunk. The coal supply was
getting short In the camp ar.d it

stage pretty soon. Before ho left
ducks and geese in abundance had
put in a welcome appearance.

river. Antimony was reported to bo
showing a declining tendency and
buyers were not inclined to make
any contracts for purchases at the
present price for after mid-July de
liveries. Antimony owes its inflation ,
to war demand like tungsten. Tung- j
sten however is still soaring and the [
prices are now almost beyond boliet.
Offers were made for 60 per cent un
concentrated tungsten ore last March
af $4000 for delivery Id Denver. A
big batch of vory low -grade tung
sten ore sold for as high as $87rr
at the mine to buyers near Boulder
Col. Not only that but the signs
wero to the effect that this price
would still soar. There is reported
to be considerable scheelito in the
Nome mining district and at this
rate of pay for the ore, it would well
repay prospectors to have their eyes
peeled for indications of the mineral.
