IS
SHOWING UP IN
.ITS ACTIVITIES
LIVEN GOON.—-The antennae of the
gold bug are showing signs of com
mencing life in our little- burg by
:he Tolovana.
The intense cold has again thawed a
bit, but the north wind continues to
blow, and makes getting about decid
edly chilling.
Nevertheless, the hardy prospector
and miner grins and bears the strug
gle with it, alM great work goes on
apace.
An immense cordage of wood has
been moved since the bitter cold spell
prevented horses going about, ami if
the snow holds for 10 days more the
plants will be well supplied, despite
the long period of enforced idleness
in that direction.
Although a good many of our old
est and best prospectors went to the
Goodplstefr strike, there is still an
immense amount of prospecting going
on one the tributaries of Livengood
and over its left limit divide.
Prospects are always the reward,
but frequently not sut'licient to justify
working. On No. 23, creek claim, as
high as 40-cent pans are being recov
ered in a new shaft, by laymen. Dave
Lowery recently sold half of his in
terest in No. 23 to Ed Wurzbacher.
Enstrom Bros, are opening up on
a large scale on Paddy Carrol and Tom
Davis’ ground, on the upper end of
No. 19, right limit bench, the laymen
having demonstrated a very wide pay
streak.
Gibbs & McLean have their 55 horse
power boiler installed on No. 18, right
limit bench, and are rushing in their
season’s wood. They also have dem
onstrated a wide paystreak.
It is reported that Allenwell & I’eri
pard, on* the lower paystreak on No.
16, bench claim, the Italy, have drifted
into good pay. They now have a 20
horsepower plant installed on the
ground.
Dave Finley bed rocked a new shaft
on the Snow Bird and found the pre
vailing nan of pay. He is now driving
his main tunnels and progressing nice
ly.
The Pauli boys, on Amy creek, have
drifted 40 feet down the hill from theii
prospect shaft, and say the pay is
showing better as they progress. This
streak is high up on the bench.
On Amy, in the creek proper, five
outfits are prospecting, and one com
f pany has crosscut 15 feet in width, the
ground showing $1.50 to the foot. They
1 are still drifting.
The Keene drill, after having braved
the fierce winds all winter, finally
ceased work on the flats, all effort, sc
far, apparently having gone foi
naught.
Shorty Edelman, at the mouth of
Amy, bedrocked a hole showing about
the regulation $1 to the foot.
From Amy creek down Livengood.
all the way to the jump-off of the
flats, the large dumps are frequent,
and ' resemble Cleary creek in its
1 past days. As stated before, the
ground does not run high in value,
1 but is easily worked and quite uniform
to that extent.
Miller & Patterson have en route
from Fairbanks a hydraulic plant for
Ruth creek, consisting of giants, 400
to 500 feet of pipe line, cooking out
fit, etc., which they expect to have in
stalled by the time the snow water
runs. They anticipate having a por
tion of their ground thawed in readi
ness for the first water from the melt
ing snows. *
It is estimated that there is over
$500,000 in gold dust on top of the
ground now on Livengood, with 50
days more to work. Not only this, but
a conservative estimate places the
probable entire season’s output at a
probable million and a half dollars.
, Vance Harris had the misfortune to
dip and fall in a shaft, bringing down
ipon him the cap of a squareset. One
>f his limbs, from the ankle up, is
)adly b^pken and shattered, and the
ittending physician, Dr. Martin, looks
for a long, tedious healing process,
with youth in Vance’s favor.
Miss Oneita Harris, Vance’s sister,
happened to be in Brooks, Mr. Duffy
having brought her over for the musi- i
cians’ dance. Miss Harris had been j
up to see her brother, and upon return- i
ing to Brooks, heard of the accident,1
the news having been telephoned down.
Reed Harris arrived on Duffy’s stage
this evening and is with his brother.

Advices received by the clerk of
the court from U. S. Commission J. S.
Heron, of Bethel, state that Axel
Loving, of Apokak, was shot and kill
ed at that place on February 16, by
! Charles K. Jacobson and that Jacob
! son had been sent to Nushagak as a
' prisoner to appear before the grand
jury here and that Jack Boyd had al
; so been sent to the same place to an
swer to the charge of attempting to
: kill and John Ode had been sent as a I
| detained witness.
According to the stories told of the
occurrence Loving, Boyd and Ode
went to the cabin occupied by Jacob
son and his wife, taking with them a
lean of home-brewed hootch; this was
| consumed and more was brought in.
j Some hootch was offered to Mrs. Ja
i cobson, to which Jacobson objected,
and a dispute arose, followed by a
resort to force, in which Jacobson
threw Boyd down. Jacobson was then
attacked by Loving and compelled to
release Boyd, after which he was at
tacked by both Boyd and Loving.
Jacobson finally secured a shotgun
which he used as a club to good ad
vantage in driving off his assai ants.
Ode then prevailed upon Loving and
i Boyd to go home to their cabin not
far distant. He remained at Jacob
i son’s while Mrs. Jacobson started for
the native village a short distance
away. A few minutes later Mrs. Ja
cobson was heard to scream and look
ing out of the window Jacobson and
Ode saw Loving and Boyd, one armed
with a 110-30 rifle, beating the woman.
They went out of doors when Lov
ing and Boyd left the woman and
; started toward them. When within a
■ few feet Boyd lired a shot, presuma
! bly at Ode, and the latter went up to
him and took the gun away from him.
Jacobson returned to the house and
Loving followed him in. Jacobson
says when they got into the house
Loving tired a shot at him and he re
turned the fire with the shotgun. Lov
ing staggered out of the door and
fell in the snow dead. Both Ode and
Boyd stated that they heard the two
I shots but do not remember which was
I fired first. Jacobsen then went out
side and Boyd again seized his rifle,
i but Ode had ejected the cartridges.
The body of Loving was then taken
into the house and Ode took Boyd back
to his own cabin.
About two hours later, or after
dark, while Jacobson, his wife and son
and oAe were sitting within the cabin
a rifle shot was heard and a bullet
came through the cabin window, bury
ing itself in the opposite wall. Ode
went outside, but in the darkness
could see no one. He went over to
Boyd’s cabin and found him sitting up
in bed. He asked him what he had
been doing and he saifl nothing. The
next morning tracks were found lead
ing from the cabin to within a few
feet of Jacobson’s residence. Boyd
left that morning and went to Bethel
to inform the authorities of the kill
ing, after which he started to return.
Jacobson also went to Bethel to give
himself up, and after telling his story
a warrant was also issued for Boyd
and he was brought back.
Bethel is in the Second judicial di
vision and is the nearest town to the
scene of the killing. The place where
the shooting occurred is in the Third
division, and Jacobson and Boyd were
held to the grand jury by the com
missioner and sent to Nushagak, the
nearest point in the Third division.
Ode was also sent along as a detained
witness. The parties concerned are
all fishermen.

PARIS. France.—It is not surpris
ing that M. Briand should have failed
to reconstitute his cabinet on the res- |
ignation of General Lyautey. It had I
been evident for some time that the
popularity of the government had
been declining, if not in the country
generally, at least within the pre
cincts of the Palais Bourbon. Only a
few days before the scene in the
chamber which led to the resignation
of General Lyautey, the government
had been subjected to a sever inquisi
tion on the subject of its economic
policy, and M. Briand had once more
asked for that confidence from the
nation without which government in a
period of crisis is an impossibility.
The order of the day accepted by the
government resulted in a victory for
M. Briand, though a poor one, since
it was only won by a bare majority.
With such a reduced support in the
chamber, it is doubtful whether even
if M. Briand had succeeded in forming
a new ministerial combination, it
would have had anything but a short
Iffe, and so lifter having held office as
premier since October. 1015, M. Bri
and placed his resignation in the
hands of the president of the republic.
The incident of the resignation of
General Lyautey, to which subsequent
events have lent added interest and
importance, is significant of the state
of susceptibility which the chamber
has reached of late. The secret ses
sion on aviation had terminated per
pectly satisfactorily as both M. Bri
and and the president of the chamber,
M. Deschanel, were careful to point
out at the resumed public sitting.
General Guillemin, the new director of
aeronautics at the ministry of war,
and Colonel Regnier, both of them ap
pointed by the government as aids to
General Lyautey, had given detailed
reports on the government plans for
the reorganization of the aeronauti
cal service. General Lyautey had
stated his intention of speaking on
the subject when the public session
was resumed. He was accordingly
given the first opportunity of mount
ing the tribune, directly the orders of
the day had been read. Taking some
written sheets of paper out of his
pocket he began at once on the sub
ject of the secret session. It seemed
to him inopportune, he said, that it
should have been held at a moment
when he had just created an organiza
tion which was essentially in accord
ance with the wishes of the chamber.
It would have been better if time had
been allowed to test its efficiency. I
thought and 1 still think, he went on,
that such debates are full of danger
points. The reason why I accepted it
was that 1 greatly disliked appearing
to shirk it, and 1 also felt that state
ments might be made which might
prove valuable to me in the prosecu
tion of the further reforms which 1
have to carry out. With your permis
sion 1 will not enter into those techni
cal details which were spoken of by
the reporting officers, because even in
secret committee I consider, taking
full responsibility for my views, that
it would have been exposing the na
tional defense to risks . . . Gener
al Lyautey did not finish his sentence.
Exclamations and protests immedi
ately arose from the extreme left and
from the republican radicals and rad
ical socialists. The president of the
chamber endeavored to obtain silence,
in order that General Lyautey might
explain his words, but the hubbub
continued: M. Raffin Dugens was
heard to declare that parliament had
been insulted and another deputy that
they wanted no explanations from the
war minister, that it was a call to or
der that was needed, and that the
chamber was not yet under the regime
of the sword. A member then en
deavored to recall the chamber to ac
tualities and M. Deschanel demanded
silence in the name of Fraifce and of
those who were upholding the nation
al honor at the front. Many members
got up and shouted Vive-la Repub
lique, and the scene appeared likely
to continue when M. Renaudel, a prac-1
ticed parliamentarian, proposed that
the chamber should again sit in se
cret committee. An uncertain vote by
show of hands was taken and had to
be repeated. The left and extreme
left favored the secret com
mittee, the right opposed it,!
but the second vote gave a small ma- j
jority in favor of the resumed secret
session. General Lyautey, who had 1
had been standing motionless at the
tribune, at this moment rapidly ap
proached M. Briand, said something
in an undertone and gathering his pa
pers together, left the chamber, being
followed within a few minutes by the
premier. Any doubt as to the signifi
cance of General Lyautey’s departure
was removed when, lute in the evening
the second secret session having ter
minated, the minister of war was not
in his usual place when the public sit-1
ting was resumed. M. Briand, in a
brief speech, declared that the discus
sion in secret committee on the sub
ject of aviation had been perfectly
satisfactory and had been carried on
in a spirit of complete confidence be
tween the government and the speak
ers. At the close of M. Briand’s
speech the socialist, M. Bedouce, de
fended the patriotism of the chamber
against the aspersions which had
been made against it. Finally an or
der of the day, satisfactory to the
government, was passed without any
further discussion.
Again the Willow creek quartz min
ing district jumps into the lime light;
one more solid mining company com
posed of substantial business men and
real miners has been organized.
In Anchorage yesterday the Gold
1 Cord Mining & Milling company was
organized with C. A. Hartholf as presi
dent; Byron Bartholf, vice president;
Frank Wiesman, treasurer, and W. S.
Horning, secretary. The company is
1 capitalized at $500,000, with $20,000
paid up and in the treasury to be used
in actual development and operation
this spring an<, summer.
A syndicate of wealthy Denver men
put up the $20,000 and the stock is oil'
the market for the development work
' of last year indicates that the mine
will be a producer from the installa
tion of the stamp mill. The company
has let a 500-foot tunnel contract lo
Fred I.aubner, who will arrive in An
chorage on the S. S. Alaska today with
a complete outfit to start on the tunnel
work at once.
The Gold Cord Mining & Milling
company own nine claims in the heart
of the proven district and join the In
depence on the north. The vein was
discovered last summer by C. A. Bar
th-f and the property has every prom
, ise of developing into a big producer
i along with the Alaska Free Gold, Gold
i Bullion, Mable and Independence.
