(Journal Special Service.) BAN FRANCISCO. June 1 1. The thread of mystfry that ran through the Uvea of those "who , are dead is worm Into many a fabric of Action and romancr when there la a will .content and a for tune worth fighting for. but none haa ever etcelled the Krsyaanowskl caae In the -brilliancy of lta coloring or the per plexing character of lta kaleldoacople chnhgea. . - The central figure la Miss Marl Nightingale, alleged daughter of two women, the helreaa of one and the con testant of the other's will, the foundling - who-must depend upon the atatementa of strangers for the ' evidence of her parentage the young nurae who never - mw her mother. The mystery of her birth was made all the deeper by the testimony of wit ness lit court yesterday, who told of the substitution of the babies. . There was a secret to be kept, the witness thought. - . ... . JTsrsf Told Way. And It was kept for the only one who knew of the substitution was never - -told why.' The secret is still Mrs. Em ilia Nachtlgal's and 'she is In her grave. It may have been shared by Mrs. Falagla - Krsysanowskl, but she, too, Is dead and tone. . , .1 ' When Mrs. Nachtlgal died and left a mail estate Miss Marie Nightingale . went Into court, proved she was the ' daughter and sole heir and was given the property. When Mrs. Krsysanowekl died Miss Marie Nightingale went Into court prepared to prove that she was ths natural daughter, of Mrs. Krxysan- owski who had been adopted by Mrs. " Nachtlgal. and the heir of the woman -who had not mentioned her In her will. When she left her natural parent for the borne of her adoption she does not know, but a stranger has appeared who tell of the time when Marie Night ingale, the emaciated little stranger, was found In the cradle of the plump and rosy baby who disappeared ths v baby that should have been the heir of Mrs. Nachtlgal. Saw Two Babies. - i ' '1 was an intimate friend,. of .Mrs, NachtigsJ.': said Mrs. Margaret Hart ' well, when she took the witness 'Stand In Judge Troutt's court yesterday, "and attended-. her when her baby was born, "in l7l.ti;The child, was plump' ' and healthy,, and I saw her frequently until my marriage. In 1880. when I went to Lake County oh my honeymoon.4 I al ways called her my baby. I was away three -and a half months and when I re turned. I called on Mrs. Nachtlgal. I looked Into the crib to see 'my baby and X could not recognise the little shrlv letrnrp thing I found there. , " Heavens!' I exclaimed. "What has - become of my babyr - "My God, Maggiel' said Mrs. Nach . tlgal, "keep . my secret "I asked her no further questions, be cause I thought -it wtriiU 'fC A buat- ness. Tp the best of my belief the child X saw. there In the crib when I returned from Lake, County was not the same ne I had left. with Mrs. Nachtlgal." . So strangers must -decide for Marie Fran It M. Chute, for several years resident of Lorinjr, Alaska. Is at the Imperial. luring is on the Island of Kevllta Glgedo, where several rich do- posits of copper have been found during the lul few months. Mr. Chute Is largely Interested in mtnes of the is land and in the canneries at Loring and Ketchikan. - Until he went j. to Alaska, in 1897 as the agent of the Brackett Interests In the construction of the Drackett trail Mr. Chute was a resident of Mazatlan, Mexico. - It wan there that he first be came Interested In mines, both placer and quarts, in the mountainous region east and south of that city. In tho mrly part of 1S90 In company with his brother he went from Han Antonio, Tex to Mazatlan. which Is the seaport for the district. In speaking of his In terests in that country. Mr. Chute said: "We eoramenced our operations near Concordia and have been gradually buy. Ing and claiming land north of that place until we now own several sliver mines near Labradaa and Guarlsamey. My brother Is there all the time, while I spend most of my time in Alaska. Last spring I bought a quantity of min ing machinery In the East most of which has been placed. "The output of the mtnes Is carted over the mountains to Masatlan where It Is sent to the coast smelters. Much of the better grade Is brought to the smelter In Everett, Wash. When the plague scare occurred In Masatjan, the miners all deserted their work. I was there at the time though not In. the city. The, quarantine regulations wen? decidedly lax,' which probably accounted for the disease spreading through the adjolnln country. When I left there about three weeks ago the panic was over and but very few cases wore being reported. "Regarding the fishing Industries of Alaska, in which I am more interested now than In mining, I will say that tho prospects of a fine season's haul wero never better. Several new canneries are being built along Behm canal and the waters from Ketchikan south to the boundary are dotted with United States fishing boat a I consider this part of Southeastern Alaska as having the most productive halibut banks In the north It Is on the main line of gravel and the nianuiAi'iurcu uumisuuii nn iro uanuiou with very little cost "The timber wealth of this region Is also practically without limit There are several sawmills on the west of Ke- vllla Olgedo Island, the output of which Is gobbled up by the residents of the Island. The wood Is a fine vari ety of hard red fir and Is susceptible of a high polish. The time is coming when the- United States will draw largely from the forests OMhe island." ' Mr. Chute' will go from Portland to Puget Sound and after a few days lit Tacoma and Seattle will sail for his home in Loring. Accompanying- him are his son and nephew, students in the Leland Stanford University, who are going north to spend the summer. PLAYS ARE AS INDIVIDUALS.

Attorney Oeneral Stratton has handed down an opinion that will be of Interest to all tmtaetitu or Washington ahiTDregOh who are interested in any way in the work ing of the forest reserve act. It appears that the decision of Judge Knowles of the United States District Court, of .Montana, jelatlye .Jto . the, au thority of the President to" withdraw" cer tain lands and place them In a forest reserve, had special application and does not apply generally, the point .on which the case hinged being that the land in question was not in the public domain wnen set asiae py tne resident for a reserve. In the Montana case the Government sued to recover the" value of timber cut by a homesteader on his claim, whloh-was--afterwsrd Included- In the Lake Como reserve. The defendant contended the forest reserve had never been legally created. Judge Knowles holds that the lands were not public lands when set aside by the President as a forest reserve, and that, therefore. they do not belong to the reserve. This construction of the law will save the homesteads of thousands of settlers within the boundaries of the recently created forest reserves in this state and in Oregon. a vabx miasm.
