LOCAL ITEMS.
Arrivals acquainted with that
vicinity are very much interested in
the mining operations of Hans
Thorsen at the head of Sonora
creek where he is looking for beach
concentrates. He has located some
very nice looking beach with
ruby and black sand in liberal
abundance, but so far the yellow
metal shows up only in prospects of
a very light nature. The location
of beach in that section however is
important although its existence has
long been know in that neighbor
hood. From the sands in the present
beach opposite where Thorsen is
working some excellent and very
high grade pay has been taken out.

EVERETT CASES ARE
DELAYED GETTING JURY
SEATTLE, March 8.—Today thei
Everett cases suffered a severe set
back owing to the time taken in se
lecting two emergency jurors. The
interest in the case does not wane.
It was expected that the-trials would
open this morning with the argu
ments of counsel but the selection of
emergency jurors practically caused
the alteration in this program.
By tomorrow the arguments
should be heard and the first wit
nesses called by the prosecution.

WICK MAY COME.
JUNEAU, March 8.—A report
comes from Seattle that Wick will
arrive early in this city. He may
address the Senate or possibly a
joint session. The House may not
hear him.
FOOD CLAMOR IX THE EAST
NEW YORK, March 8.—While
there has been some reduction in
food prices following the riots of
the women and children and the
city is seriously thinking of taking
charge of the food situation, there
is general discontent that the gov
ernment should have failed to take
some measures to relieve the actual
suffering which is taking place due
to the high prices.
Today a review of the s-ituation
in a New York paper says that the
people will have to go on short com
mons as the unsold food supply is
inadequate for the national needs
and no relief may be expected until
the summer brings in the first food
crops.
The demand for an embargo on
food is insistent and the agitation
will take on national proportions
very shortly.

VIOLENT GUN FIRE.
BERLIN, March 8.—The General
Staff reports that violent artillery
fire and recognoitering advances
mark the war on teh western front
during a heavy naze and snow fall.
The heaviest artillery fire is tak
ing place along the Champagne
front.
Along all other fronts everything
is quiet on account of the severity
of the weather conditions.
PARIS, March S.—For some rea
son it appears to be believed in mi
litary circles that the Germans are
now bending all their energies to a
great and smashing drive along the
Champagne front.
Why this impression prevails is
not very clear.

JUNEAU, March 8.—At noon to
