The clerk of the district court has
received the returns from the school
election held at Kiana on the fourth
of October which show the follow'
mg results: Wm. N. Levy, clerk;
Ben Magids, treasurer; Herman
Berinhardt, director .
In a written opinion, in reply to
a request of the carnival committee
that the court grant an order al
lowing the transfer of one of the
a loon licenses to Eagle hall for car
nival night, Judge Tucker refused
the request on the ground that it
would be liable to establish a bad
precedent.
Three or four dog teams depart

The Pioneer Mining Company are
reported two have found a quantity

The Nome Baseball League was
formally launched for the winter

iously with the promise that the

ficers who will preside over the des
tinies of the league for the present
year.
Council reports rather cold weath
er for the past week with the ther
mometer ranging from twenty-two
to twenty-eight below during the en
tice period. The continued cold
finally put a stop1 to the operations
of the Blue Goose dredge and the
machine finally closed down for
the season at iO a.m. on the morn
ing of November 23. While this
run is in the nature of a record in
the Council section, it was equaled
three years ago by the same
machine. Dr. Kittlesen states that
the dredge continued in operation
until the safne date 1912. So far as
can be ascertained this is the latest
h dredge has ever run on Seward
peninsula.

Steiner the* man had apparently
died from heart failure. Steiner
says that he went to the cabin
shortly before noon and did not re
turn for several hours during which
Steiner was compelled to remain at
the bottom of a deep shaft. At
length fearing that something was
a miss he climbed to the surface
under great difficulties and found
his partner cold and stiff in their
quarters.

NEWS FROM JUNEAU
The halibut steamer Independent
arrived this afternoon for a supply
of coal and water. The captain of
the Independent reports that they
lay for 48 hours in Chatham Straits
bucking the worst storm he has
ever seen.
The Independent is covered with a
generous coating of ice.
The severe cold weather is still
affecting the Douglas schools. The
faculty met at the school house this
morning and decided to discontinue
any effort, at holding school until
after the weather moderates. It
seems that both the steam and water
pipes are. frozen up, so that it is im
possible to get a sufficient supply
of either heat or water.
C. R Hull and W. Strong, con
nected with the Canadian govern
ment .survey, arrived on the Ala
meda this afternoon on a dog buying
Lip. They will endeavor to secure
two good dog teams in Juneau and
Douglas at once, and if unable to
get them here will go on to Seward.
They report that a new strike has
been reported from Telegraph Creek
and the Canadian government is
sending the two men in to investi
gate. As soon as a good team is
secured they will return to Wrangell
and leave for Telegraph by way of
the Stikine river. Their outfit is
waiting for them at Wrangell.'—Ju

ALLEGED SIX VICTIMS
MADE AWAY BY KRAUSE
The officers have secured infor
mation Which leads them to believe
that Edward Krause made away
with six men. There is also Suspic
ion that lie may have caused the
death of a seventh. Evidence has
been gathered to show that he was
closely associated with the six who
arc missing, and that all of them
save Capt Blanket and Christie
had sums of money. For instance,
in one case it is claimed that Krause
and another party left together on
a cruise, the latter having $500 and
that he was never seen afterwards.

OFFICER FIGURES WHAT
GAIN COSTS FRANCE
Calculation Made of What War
Is Costing in-Human Life
PARIS, Jan. 20—The prolongation
of tile war has had the effect of
complicating remarkably the work
of the statistician. The manwlio is
fond of figuring out what given
circumstances will produce in all
sorts of occasions began his calcu
lations on the supposition that all
oukl he over within a few months.
After the few months passed he
began to figure on a year, and again
he had to revise his figures.
The most intricate problem that
he has been working on is what will
bp the total destruction in value of
'the men killed and men disabled for
Ffe. Statisticians working on this
problem go back as far as the war
of the Crimea in 1861, when Proud
hon estimated the value of a man’s
life at 20,000 francs ($4,000). Since
then writers on this subject have
for the most part discredited the
arbitrary figure and have valued
the life or services 0f a man accord
ing to his producing capacity. Fov
ille niade the far more moderate es
timate of $800 as the average of
the war of 1870.
Coming down to the present time
Yves Guyot considers that a man’s
salary 0r wages represents no more
than half the value of the produc
tion to which he contributes, and
starting from that basis he figures
that during the first six months of
the war France had lost $.3,000,000,
000 through the disappearance and
disabling of producing men. On
the same basis the loss to date
would be $9,000,000,000, but other
writers contest the soundness of
the basis on which these figures are
produced. if the workman on a
salary oi $2 a day may he consider
ed worth from $7,000 to $10,000,
the engineer who earns $20 a day
may bo considered worth $100,000;
and if these figures were taken, in
view of the heavy losses in officers
the total would amount, perhaps, to
double the statistician’s figures.
An officer at the front, taking the
legal value of a human being as
fixed by law at $5,000, calculated
the cost a square yard of ground
reconquered from the enemy in a
certain attack at $133,000.
Monsieur Eugene d’Aichthal of
the institute and a member of the
Society of Statisticians of Paris, re
fuses to accept the basis of any of
the calculators who have figures on
these rusults up to the present time,
and is of the opinion than in view
of the many opportunities for dif
ferences of circumstances and faulty
bases, no figures worthy of consid
eration will ever be reached.
