ALASKAN IS
CHASED BY A
MEXICAN MOB
Seattle, June 5.—W. Wa.ts, formerly
manager of the Wild (ioo*e mine at
! Nome, Alaska, narrowly escaped death
1 at the hands of a mob in Mexico City
! during the crisis there, according to
I private advices that has just been re
ceived in this city.
From the information received here
it seems that Watts ventured out on
the streets of the Mexican capital with
out realizing the danger to Americans
; who showed themselves. Some Mexi
cans who knew he was an American,
pointed him out, it seems, and the mob
started after him.
All the details of the affair have not
! been received, and just how Watts es
cape*. the mob is only a matter of con
jecture. He managed, however, to get
under the protection of the legation,
and later made his escape from Mexico
City to Vera Cruz with a host of other
refugees.

i STRIK• IS
DOUBTED
Discouraging reports about the Nel
! china, denying those received from
I Valdez, were brought here today by
i C. Artal, a passenger on the Admiral
Evans. Artal left the camp ten days
ago, coming out via Kmk.
He says that the camp has proved a
failure so far, and that nothing has
been developed that would warrant a
i stampede.
j “About a month ago there was some
excitement along Willow creek when
! 25 cent pans were taken out of tin* sur
face gravel,” said Artal, "but at bed
rock, 15 feet dow n, there was hardly a
color. There is a hole down 1U0 feet
on (’rooked creek, hut no bed rock or
pay dirt has been reached.
•‘The camp is hard u;> and there is
no market for anything but 22 cart
ridges. The ptarmigan are thick aid
the miners make them their principal
food.”
