engineer and defiant train crew this
morning pulled the Motion lassenger train
through ;in attempted hold up while
broken glass rained down upon the in
mates of the cars, who had dodged under
seats for safety. The foiled robbers were
left standing dejectedly by the side of
the track with empty veapons and
eipially empty pockets. They are now
b. it:g searched for by a special posse,
dogs and an extra train provided by
the company. ...

Alaskan Miners Expect
i Another Excitement.
New Diggings Found Arrivals
From Cook's Inlet Say Tales
of Gold Are Justified.
Valdez will be the next Alaskan point
to enjoy the varied Joys of a rush of
argonauts. S. W. Wible and W. G. Jacks
two mining men who have been in the
Northland since 18, arrived In Portland
this morning on their way south to spend
the Winter. Messrs. Wible and Jacks
registered at the Perkins from Cook's
Inet, a mining district on tl Kenai
Peninsula, where they have been develop
ing some hydraulic properties. They are
well acquainted with the neighboring
country and while they state that there
are comparalivey few openings for new-
comers around Cook's Inlet, they pfuphe-.
sy a great future for the Videz coun
try, which embraces the recently dlscov-
nreiJ..x.Agg.inff' on the Chestochina atM '
Nezina Rivers.
RAILROADS WILL RCII-D.
"The Nezina country is rndcubtely a
great mineral' region. ' said Mr Wible,
"and there wi surey be a great influx
of people there next season. The many
railroads, mushroom and otherwise, that
propose to build railways through the
country and which have announced that
Valdez will be used as a tejminal point
will also serve to attract persons who
want to get In early on parasitic busi
nesses, such as hotel and restaurant
keepers, lawyers, the bane of nil mining
camps, saloonkeepers and freighters.
"The Nezina country lies Inland from
Valdez about 125 miles. The cold bearing
gravel which has been uncovered there
Is known to be rich, but its extent Is
not fully vouched for as yet. Still there
Is no question about it behig a new and
genuine strike, and there will be room for
many more men than are now on the
ground.
' FARfLOt'S TALK?.
"For many years tales have come out
of the Interior country back of Valdez
of fabulously rich copper mines and
enough deposits of this metal have been
discovered to at least partly Justify the
tales. In fact, many of t-ie proposed
railroads assign the copper prospects if
the Tanana as a principal reason for the
construction of a lne through the inter
tor. "The Cook's Inlefeountry. on the other
hand, has been known for Hiany years.
I'pon lis reputation as . a producer of
gold, many Ingenious swindles were
based by unscrupulous sharks in Chi
cago and New York, and msny unfortu
nate Investors have been landed in the
district. These men, of course, had in
vested their money before ever coming
to Alaska, and their money remained In
the hands ' of the promoters of the
schemes. For these victims there was
ltitle hope, but I will any that nearly
every man who was In Cook's inlet
this year made money."

Sacred Edifice Is Being
L Rapidly Demolished
Neighbors Nervous Contractor
Cook Pulls Steeple Down
With Donkey Engine.
Several hundred people gathered at the
corner of Oak and Sixth streets at noon
today to see what effect would be pro
duced by dropping 'a 40-ton weight on the
roof of Trinity Kpiscopal Church. The
4i.i-ton Weight was represented by the
spire of the sacred edifice, which Is being
torn down by t'ontractor C J. Cook.
The razing of ttie church building Itself
was an easy matter, but the question of
how to tear down the towering spire
which stood some 150 feet above the
ground occasioned Mr. Cook considerable
worry. He finally decided to saw the
spire nearly through about -6ft feet down
ffoTfl' the fop and to then pull It over by
means of a cable anil a donkey engine.

thruugn at the point Indicated, a S-8-lnch
cable, which could pull a 150-ton weight,
was attached to the Inside framework,
and a strong donkey engine was placed
in position to do the pulling. The cable
was so arrangi-d by means of pulleys that
the steeple would fall upon the roof of
the church, the idea being that this
would aid the wrecking crew In their
work of demonlitlon. Before the engine
gave the first preliminary tug, however,
Mr. Cook hiLi an anxious time.
SOMK WERE NERVOUS.
Nervous residents from neighboring
bloelfs be.seiged the contractor with In
quiries as to whether the falling steeple
would not reach their residences, and
crush In the roof of their happy homes.
Il was carefully explained to one old gen
tleman that even if the steeple were to
fall the wrong way. it would miss his
house by over 25 feet.
"That may be all right." answered the
old man as he returned to bis house and
began packing 'a marble clock Into a place
of safety.. "It may be alright, but It's
a long time since anybody measured that
steeple and I'll take no chances."
The landlady of a neighboring house
approached the engineer of the donkey
engine with a tremulous Inquiry as to
whether the steeple might not bounce off

gods off "the face of the earth.
"Steeples don't bounce." replied the ve
racious engineer. "I've pulled down
thousands oT them."
DOWN SHE CAM B.
After much delay the spool of the en
gine began to wind up the cable. Slowly
the wire rope tightened and as the strain
reached the guiding pulleys anchored to
the gables of the church, great sections
of the roof buckled and sprang off. Then
the towering steeple rocked and swayed,
but the great timbers of tha framework
refused to give and the cable slipped 15
feet further down the spire. This left
but one thing for the contractor to do:
pull the entire steeple over Instead of
toppling the upper M feet off first. The
bolts which held the baSe of the frame
work were unscrewed and the whole
structure wa. then rocked off Its founda
tion on to the ground. . ,
A CLOSE CAUL.
In falling the steeple missed the church
almost entirely, merely catching the
eaves with some projecting corners. The
