FIGHT DUEL FOR
ALLEGED INSULT
If Americans Were as Fiery as the
French There Would Be Many
Duels After Elections.
PARIS, May 4.—The national elec
tions which took place last Sunday
were the bitterest ever fought in the
history of the republic. Personal
ities, although almost unknown in
political contests here, were freely
indulged during the campaign and
has resulted in a number of duels
being fought since the elections.
Deputy Caillaux, who defeated Ail—
lieres for a seat in the Chamber of
Deputies, has challenged him to a
duel with swords because of tin in
sult alleged to have been offered dul -
ling the campaign. His opponent has
accepted and has declared that he
will cause a vacancy in the Cham
ber of Deputies by killing his suc
cessful rival.
Both are prominent in national pol
itics and the duel is the sole topic
of conversation in the cafes and
clubs.
Port Wells Gold Mining Company Of
fers Stock for Sale.
Myself and associates have organ
ized and incorporated the Port Wells
Gold Mining Company with a cap
italization of one million dollars, di
vided into one million shares of the.
par value of one dollar each.
This company now owns the Tar
Flat group of lode mining claims, con
sisting of six claims at Port Wells.
The sum of $4,500 has been ex
pended on the property, resulting in
over 200 feet of tunnel and the con
struction of a cabin, blacksmith shop
and ore bunkers in which there is
now thirty tons of ore of an average
value of $50 per ton. The locators of
the property, Wm. Hogan, Peter
Black and my associates, have trans
ferred this property to the company
for all the capital stock of the cor
poration, and have donated to the
treasury to be sold for developing
and' operating the property, five hun
dred thousand shares of the capital
stock.
We propose to offer fifty thousand
shares of this capital stock for a
period of twenty days at 10c. per
share. All funds raised by the sale
of treasury stock will be used for
developing and operating this prop
erty, which will be under my direct
charge and supervision. Orders for
stock may be left with either myself
or C. E. Bunnell, secretary and
treasurer. M. J. CALLAGHAN,
President and General Manager.

SENATAR WANTS
ALASKANS ON JOB
Senator Millard Urge* Railroad Com
mission to Employ Men Familiar
With Alaska Conditions.
Senator B. F. Millard, president of
the Valdez Commercial Association,
has wired to the railroad commis
sion recently appointed by President
Wilson that a large number of ex
perienced men can be secured by the
commission in Alaska; men who have
traveled over the territory through
which the road will be located; men
who know conditions in all sections
of the territory.
The senator suggests to the com
mission the advisability of filling up
the organization of (the party in
Alaska towns from among the men
who are acclimated and who know
conditions here.
Secretary James Fish, of the or
ganization, has written to the com
missioners along the same line and
it is hoped that many Alaskans will
be members of the many survey
parties to be sent from the coaBt
towns to the interior to make inves
tigations and also surveys.
MILLION SNAKES
FOUND IN VALDEZ
&
At 10 o’clock last night James
Brown, a teamster, who had been
drinking heavily for the past week,
but who was suddenly shut off from
his booze through the recent suc
cessful efforts of the prohibitionists
and Sunday closing followers, lost his
nerve and as "the snakes gathered
about him in his cabin on upper
Alaska avenue, he started down town
yelling for a marshal, for a doctor,
for his friend Jnck and for almost
anybody who could kill the reptiles,
like St. Patrick did in Erin. Af Brown
started down town yelling mt help
the people along the avsnue wo had
phones rang up calling for n^rahals;
some wanted one, others thouajht two
would be needed, while a few of the
more timid believed the troops from
Fort Liscurn would be required: Mar
snal Brenneman started on the run
for the scene and found that .Brown
had a bad attack of delerium tremons j
and he took him to the jail, where
he was soon sleeping quietly under
the effects of an opiate. The people
on the avenue also got some sleep.
When arraigned before Judge Love
today Brown was lineed ten dollars
and costs ami will serve fourteen
days in jail, which is considered suf
ficient time to get rid of the booze.
WANT SOLDIERS
KEPT AT LISCUM
(Continued from page 1.)
cial Association, to act upon the
suggestion andv telegrams, letters and
petitions will be sent to Secretary
Garrison at once urging the depart
ment to continue to keep at least
two companies of soldiers across the
bay, from which point they can eas
ily be sent to any place in the Third
division.
Hope is an airship. Disappoint
ment is a parachute that lets us down
