"RED DEVILS" VICTORIOUS. Chicago City Ordinance Beaten by Four Hundred Local Automobilitts.' Chicago, Aug. 12. Four hundred au- tomobllists have won fredom from ar rest for failure to comply with the new ordinance requiring drivers of motor car. to secure a license from the city to place number, on the machine. used and to pay the fees provided. The victory was won by the Chicago Automobile Club, when Judge Hancey granted a temporary Injunction against the city. The order went Into effect immediately and the writs were served at once. Each member of the club was named in the petition, sianed . by John Farron, the president, as their agent The writ enjoins the "city of Chicago and Ha board of pollceme Chicago and Its board of automobile registry and all agents, employes at torneys and policemen from arresting, prosecuting, suing or in any mannei Interfering with, annoylg or molestig the complainants for failing to com ply with the ordinance." It Is contended that the ordinance. Introduced on June 27.

DECLINE OF CHAMBERLAIN. J British Statesman Nat Now So Much in the Public Eye, London, Aug. 12. Englishmen who have been away for a few months ex press amasement on their return at the smaller place Joseph Chamberlain holds In the public eye. A years ago he was the dominating figure in Eng land, and almost in Europe. Today Europe has almost forgotten him and In England he is regarded as hopeless ly sidetracked from the big current of affairs. His coming out for protection made a tremendous sensation, but, though he captured the conservative party ma chinery, he could not get the voters. There was no real sentiment In favor of a change. Then at the critical mo ment Chamberlain's health broke down. Without a single lieutenant of first class ability his campaign went to pieces. Since his return from Egypt he has been unsuccessfully trying to mend the breaks. But In recent bye elections the conservative candidates would have none of him. Chertsey di vision was fought on the issue of Chi nese labor In South Africa and hardly a word was said about tariff. At last, in the Oswestry division. Chamberlain got the conservative can didate to stand fair and square for protection. All the circumstances were In his favor. The normal conserva tive majority was a thousand, and the majority of the voters were country squires and farmers, who are natural torys and whose opinions change slow ly. Only a few times in recent years did the liberals take the trouble to con test this division at all. They regard ed It as hopeless. Even in the present canvass the voters did not dare to gather around the carts of the liberal speakers until after dark, for fear they would be seen and arouse the anger of th. squirsa, Email farmers were afraid to lead earriafst te the liberal candl date lor the sama reason. But despite U the prewar Chat eeuld bt brought te bear for Chamberlain and protec tion, th. district went Liberal by a majority f m. Chamberlain ftp now CI year, old.

While practicing with a 10-inch gun some tw.lv seconds niter a fresh charge had been rammed home a large volume of "black-flame" was observed to Issue from the gun. For a moment the gun crew awaited an explosion, but by some miracle It wae averted. Now It la hoped to reduce this dan ger by following the practice of the French navy of first ramming home the projectiles and then using the hose to wash out the chamber of the gun, instead of washing out before the .hot Is rammed home, ae is the practice at present It la obvious that with the vent sealed by a projectile plugging the breach end of the bora and with the extra pause before the charges are ex posed In the rear, while the hose Is In play, ail the fiame will have escaped and all of the burning residue will have been washed clear of the gun before the charges are exposed to the danger of Ignition from either of these causes. n 1 i i MBmltiisly ara , Tb greatest cf Dsidn,ii4iO0 bo! d porfosi mill U::;Sb fht::tf:: Kiss f&s isrii ct:t am swum ctwornt eo., mw tow mm JUNEAU GOLD BELT, ALASKA E laminations of the known gold prospect In the belt trlbutar to Ju neau, Alaska, Indicate that they are of sufficient promise to warrant all the work now in progress and the ex penditure of still more capital In de velopment work. Such 1. the conclu sion of Mr. Arthur C Spencer of the United States geological survey, who with Mr. Charles W. Wright spent the summer of 1803 making a de tailed study of the geology and, mineral resources of a limited area Including the Alaska-Tread well and associated mine, near Juneau. Mr. Spencer has written a short paper on the geology of the Juneau gold belt, Alaska, which Is published by the survey in bulletin 225, entitled "Contribution. o Econom ic "Geology, M0J." The Juneau gold belt resembles the gold belt of California in several ways, The various rock that occur In this part of southeastern Alaska are simi lar In character and partly equivalent in age to thoee forming the country rock of the Mother Lode district, and there Is also a definite linear distribu tion of some of tb gold-bearing veins parallel with the general strike of the bed rock formation A. in the Cali fornia gold belt, however, there are many Independent deposits lying out side the main complex of lodes. Prospecting has been In progress in different parts of this belt since 1S76, but the main Incentive to vigorous exploration came with the discovery of the Gold Creek placer and the founding of Juneau to 1880. The first mine to be put upon a productive basis was the Alaaka-Treadwell, on Douglas island, about two miles south west of Juneau. This property was opened in 1881, and it continued to grow in importance for several years. so that by 188$ it had reached practi cally its present rating as one of the great mines of the world. The dis covery of the Klondike, however, in 1896, gave a great Impetus to pros pecting In the interior of British Columbia and Alaska and caused the mineral region tributary to Juneau to be temporarily abandoned as a field for Investment It may be said that only now, after seven years, has the district regained the position which it appears to have held in 1896. Several circumstances would now seem to indicate a growing interest lrr the Juneau gold belt A large num ber of properties have recently changed hands, a number of well known engineers have been making examinations in the field with a view to acquiring property for their clients, and there appears to be a steady de mand for experienced miners. It is estimated that 1440 miners and la borers are now engaged in this region. About 30 per cent of them were doing development work during 1903, and Indications are that the exploration of properties recently purchased by outside parties will soon materially In crease the proportion of men engaged In work not Immediately productive. In 1903 there were seven productive mines In the district In addition to the placers of Porcupine and adjacent creeks. These were the Alaska-Tread-well, Alaska-Mexican, and Ready Bul lion, on Dougles island; the Silver Sumdum Chief, 60 miles to the south, now worked out and abandoned; and the Alaska-Juneau and Ebner mines, in Gold Creek, both of which will soon be opened up on a large scale. The product of these mines for the year Is estimated at $2,400,000. while the total output of the belt to the end of 1903 has been more than $20,000,000. The Death Penalty.
