BERING RIVER
GOAL CLAIMS
J REJECTED
JUNEAU, June 22—Notice has been
received by the Juneau land office of
a decision of the commissioner of the
general land office affirming their
decision In the case of the United
States vs. the Alaska Smokeless Coal
Company's application for a group of
coal claims In the Bering lliver dis
trict, known as the "Feed Croup,"
which aggregate about 1,000 acres.
The government charged that in the
original locations eight coal claims
were involved and that the locators
had failed to open up a coal mine on
each claim. The Juneau officers found
that, the government had failed to sus
tain its charge of fraud as to all of
the locators except one, and this one I
had admitted the fraud.
The findings of the Juneau land
office brought out the fact that a clear
statement of the facts of the case was
not possible for the reason that the
locators were natives of Norway and
Sweden and unfamiliar with the Eng
lish language. The Commissioner
recognizes this difficulty and concedes
that It should be given coniderable
weight in connection with the fraud
charged by the government. Further
investigation showed that the affida
vits of the several locators secured in
1908, and which constituted the grave
men of the fraud charges, were made
under the handicap of want of knowl
edge of English.
Rejection of the applicantions, how
ever, was chiefly due to the fact that
the locators failed to compTy with the
law by opening up the required mine
on each claim. None of the locators
had spent more than $10.50 on his
claim.

IL1SU
JUNEAU, June 22—VV. W. Short
hill, third assistant governor of
Alaska, is now experiencing all the
thrills that go with the position.
Since Governor J. F. A. Strong and
Secretnry Charles E. Davidson nre
both out of the territory temporarily
and ns no provision has been made for
the succession to the position, the
duties devolve upon the secretnry to
the governor, namely Mr. Shorthill.
Governor Strong left for his trip
down the Yukon on the Mariposa and
was planning to leave Skagway at
once for Whitehorse and Dawson. If
he caught the train out of Skagway
he reached the international boundary
line June 18th, and the mantle of gov
ernor protem automatically fell on on
the broad shoulders of the secretary.
The governor will make connections
with a steamer at Dawson, leaving
there for down river today and until
the steamer reaches Engle, two days
run, the territory will be governed by
Mr. Shorthill.
As soon as the steamer renches
Eagle with the governor and party
aboard Mr. Shorthill will be relieved
of the burden.
This is the first time in the history
of Alaska that the territory has been
without both the governor and sur
veyor general at the same time, leav
ing the office vacant, but for the secre
tary to the governor.

MEXICANS KILL]
TUL8A, Okla., June 22—Telegraphic
advices have been received here to
the effect that Robert Camp, an Am
erican mining engineer has been killed
by Mexicans at Monterey. The tele
gram was received from a friend in
Mexico by a brother of the engineer,
who has communicated Its contents to
the state department at Washington,
with n request that an investigation be
made. The government will look into
the matter, and its intervention into
the nffairs of Mexico will doubtless
be hastened if the report is true. No
details of how the man was killed
were contained in the dispatch.

MADRID, June 22.—The Spanish
cabinet resigned today because of the
complete failure of their loan scheme,
which was intended to resuscitate the
dwindling finances of the country. The
king accepted the resignation of the
premier, expressing his deep regret at
having to lose the services of so able
a statesman, and hoping that their
friendly relations would continue un
interrupted. The king has not yet an
nounced whom he will select to form
a new cabinet.

The government cable between Val
dez and Sitka often works very poorly
because of "earth currents” which
cause the instrument that records the
messages to jump about in such a
manner that it is next to impossible to
read the tape, and the messages have
to be repeated back and forth.
Cable experts have tried for years
to locate the causes for the "earth
currents," which are simiiiar to "stat
ic" disturbances in the air interfer
ing with wireless operations. The
cause of static troubles are said to
be electrical currents In the air, which
interfere with the wireless currents
and it is presumed that currents of
electricity in the earth are the cause
of the trouble on the cable lines. The
certainty of this, however, has never
yet been fathomed.

Governor Strong stated recently that
:io Is considering the advisability of
Appointing an attorney general for
die territory temporarily, nnd will
make no permanent appointment.
“I shall need legal counsel for a
lime this year, but after the mntters
which are coming up hnve been set
lied the attorney would have nothing
to do for the next year except draw a
salary, as far as I can see,” said the
governor. Continuing, he said. "I
shall engage counsel temporarily but I
shall not make any permanent ap
pointment, if I carry out my present
lilans, as I think it is a useless waste
of the people's money.
“The territory has no use for a per
manent attorney at the present time,
the principal need for one being dur
ing the sessions of the legislature,
which occur every two years. The
rest of the time I can engage consel
from time to time as needed and pay
for the actual time engaged by the
territory." t
