Attorney L. V. Ray should hire a
! hall. With all due respect to local tal
j ent, it is undeniably Attorney Ray
who is drawing the crawd that fills
' Moose hall almost to suffocation to
| hear the niuch-talked-of and much
advertised gambling cases that are
now being tried with Judge Leopold
David in the position of the just
judge.
The jury in the case of the terri- !
j tory vs. Reed and Dahl on the charge
j of running a gaming house was im
j panelled and sworn in late yester
! day afternoon and owing to the late
j ness of the hour there was no evidence
taken and the judge nostponed the
case until this morning at 10 o’clock.
Following are the jurors who were
accepted and sworn in J. A. Laub
ner, Pat Keely, S. E. Mandle, F. M.
Beam, G. Cox, F. G. Illsley, R. Cole,
Chas. J. Young, John Hendricks, Jack
Bell, P. O. Sunberg and J. O. John- '
ston. !
[ lhe defense using their peremptory'
rights, excused Minor and J. A. Mil
l ler;. The prosecution, by the same I
I method, excused Matt Button and i
■ Wm. Cassidy. Sol Silverman and Joe!
i Colquist were excused for cause.
Court convened this morning and
i the territory called Leopold David to
produce records establishing the loca
tion of the Bank pool hall. M. J. Con
i roy acted as judge pro tern, with
honor but no remuneration. The ter
| ritory scored the first point yesterday,
: by the judge’s decision in not grant
j ing a change of venue, but the de
[ fense was able to introduce Lawyer
Murphy’s affidavit.
Following Mr. David came Billy
Greer, of The Times, who testified in
regard to the Bank pool hall’s adver
tisement in The Times. Neff testified
as to the location of the building oc
cupied by the Bank, and then came
Jack Robinson. Mr. Robinson’s evi
dence was virtually the same as in the
former cases, and he underwent a se
vere cross-examination by the defense.
Sidney Pugh was the last witness
examined before adjournment at noon.
Court resumed at 1:30 o’clock this
afternoon with John Mogel and F. W.
Guest as witnesses for the prosecu
tion.
The territory rested and the defense
called Gus Stivovich, and Zeke Pero

The testimony of the next two wit

The ANCHORAGE-WILLOW CREEK MINING & DEVELOPMENT
CO. is to tap what is believed to be the richest lode
in the Willow Creek country
i This company owns twenty-four claims surrounding
; the rich Gold Bullion property, and it is proposed to
• drive two tunnels in the mountain at creek level and tap
j the veins which are now being worked by the Gold Bullion
j mine, and are dipping at an angle of about 'JO degrees,
j which will bring them within the lines of tluvAnehorage
; Willow Creek .Mining & Development Co.’s property at a
j slight depth.
s The claims owned by this company are: Bullion Hx
| tension No. 1, .‘1, 4, f>, and (i; Combination No. 1, 2, .'5,
■ and 4; dumbo No. 1, 2, and 3; Hilltop No. 1, 2, 3, and 4;
i Leroi, Lucky Bov, Lone Star, and Kngleside No. 1, 2, .!
; and 4.
* These claims adjoin the Gold Bullion property on
| three sides and are less than half a mile from the rich
| Martin and Independence mines. The Gold Bullion Miu
j ing Co. owns six claims on the top of a mountain. This
I mountain is in direct line with the dip of the leads from
<the Mabel and Martin mines, and it is the theory of emi
j ment mining men, that at the lower levels of this mountaiu
will be found the mother lode of the entire Willow Creek
district.
Rich Ledges Exposed. ;
There are several exposed ledges on the property of
the Anchorage-Willow Creek Mining & Development Co.,
and it would be possible for the company to start on these
I ledges and following them down make a good little mine.
| This, however, is not the intention of the directors of this
company. It is proposed to start two tunnels at the base
of the mountain about a mile apart and drive them
straight into the mountain. These tunnels will he* so lo
cated as to strike the leads at a depth where the greatest
width will have been attained by the leads and where the
greatest values will be found.
The mines now working in the Willow Creek country,
although in some cases remarkably rich, are following
leads which are only offshoots from the great body of
high-grade ore which will be found at greater depth.
It is to strike this ore at a great depth that this com
pany plans to drive tunnels and then work upward on
the leads, and it is expected that when the tunnels are in
less than 500 l'oet, a mine will be opened which will prove
t lie marvel of the century.
All Willow Creek Mines Successful.
There never has been a failure in the Willow Creek
mining district. KveVv mine which has been opened there
has paid good dividends, and it is the firm belief of the
directors of the Anchorage-Willow Creek Mining & De
velopment Co., that the rtune which will be opened on its
property will be th,e greatest in the history of Alaska.
The directors V the Anchorage-Willow Creek Min
ing & Development Op., are men well known to the people
of Anchorage, and wdipse names are a guarantee that the
money realized by the sale of stock will he used solely for
the purposes advertised. ^
