SEATTLE. Pec. 3. — A stormy ca- I
reer. the brighter portions of which
were staged in Alaska, in many of
the gold camps, including Dawson. <
Nome and Fairbanks, had another $
chapter added today, when Mercedes 1
Wadsworth filed a voluntary petition I
in bankruptcy. Mrs. Wadsworth maj-- 1
ried an Alaskan prospector years ago,
who made a pile in Alaska placer
camps, and later came to this city
to live. When Wadsworth died he t
left his widow four hundred thousand
dollars, enough to last an ordinary
person for a few years, but not Mrs. (
Yadsworth. She lived well and spent
ots of money. Shortly after her hus
land's death she became enamoured
vlth a drug clerk named Rutherford,
mt her life with him did not run
moothly, and a short time ago she
ecured a divorce on the ground of
ruelty and the additional ground
hat he was sqnanering her estate,
lrs. Wadsworth's petition shows lia -
dlitles of $108,000 and assets of
24,000.

SHIP ORE
J. E. McFarland, who Is connectei
with the Lakinaw Copper Mines, nen
Long Lake. >is in town, and will tak
the first steamer on a short lmsines
I trip to the States.
He reports that recent work oi
j their copper claims has disclosed, Ii
| two new' cuts on one of the group
I of the properties, high grade bornit
|and chalcocite copper ore from tw
to five feet in width, not heretofor
exposed. The vein is of from 600 t
800 feet in known length, with
“gouge" line of demarkation. Wor
has progressed so satisfactorily the
the shipment c0 ore will begin witt
in thirty days, or as soon as a gooi
winter trail can be built from th
mine to the Copper River railroad.
This interior property Is being d<
veloped on a rather unique plan, ori
ginated by J. L. Harper, a minim
man of Washington state. There i
no company, no corporation, no stocl
and in fact nothin gto sell. The plan
Given a mining property owned b:
or under bond to parties who nee<
for development or improvement pur
poses a sum of money, say J20.000
The amount needed may be less o:
more. The owner or owners arrangi
with some individual of standing o
the trust department of some bank
ior mat individual or oana to act a!
trustee for the Investors. The in
vestors are the persons who advanci
or loan the money needed. The trus
tee is given a fifty-year assignmen
for a certain percentage—say 10 pei
cent—of the net smelter returns froit
all ore mined and shipped. Undei
the trust agreement with the trustei
or bank the investors are firs: pah
back their money and thereafter re
ceive as a permanent income, or foi
so long as the mine endures, a cer
tain and fixed percentage of the ne'
smelter returns prorated monthly 01
quarterly to the investors on tin
basis of the amount in dollars ad
vanced or loaned by each.
The owners control the mine ab
solutely, and manage it unhampered
They share the “net profits" of op
eration. It is up to them to see tha
there are net profits. If the man
agement is good and the mine meri
torious they profit immediately. Thi
investors do not have to rely on tin
appearance of net profits ror theii
returns. From every ton or ore ship
ped they receive direct from tht
smelter through their trustee or bank
a definite and fixed return. If th<
mine is rich they reap rich returns
proportionately.
SUN WAS BALKY IN BERINE
COAL AREA
That the Bering River coal field is
a region prolific of trouble of al
sorts is no jest, as we are now in
formed that the government survey
ors who were operating there durine
the past summer had trouble locat
ing the orb of light, which interfered
somewhat with their work. In thei:
report to the general land office al
Washington it was stated that th«
season had been exraordinarily
' foggy, and misty, and that the sight
of the sun, so necessary In their sur
veying work, was but rarely. How- J
ever, they managed to get through, a
and the residents of Alaska are anx
iously awaiting the announcement by
Secretary Lane that the coal lands
can be leased in convenient bodies T
for commercial use. ?'
