Hutch- erson, who Is held by the police on a charge of burglary and who has made a complete confessiom, is a second edition of Jekyll and Hyde. One side of his life in this city was that of a soclety young man; the other was that of a petty pil- ferer and burglar. When Hutcnarson went out to shine in the more commenda- Ac ble role of his dual character he dressed well, spent money freely and was a good fellow generally. He belonged to the best soctal organizations and was recelved into the exclusive set. He was looked upon as a model young man His election to membership in the En- cinal Recreation Club was the beginning of the end. He had enjoyed the hospitality of the organization but a few weeks when members began to miss things. First small articles of little value went, and then sums of money disappeared from the lockers of members while they were ex- ercising in the gymnastum. Suspicion turned toward Hutcherson. Several mem- bers hid themselves on top of the lockers one evening and watched the young man. The result of thelr investigation was not made public, but at the n the directors Hutcherson was expelled After his expulsion he went to_ Mill Valley and spent a couple of months in | g.

He stated that an uncle in the East was supplylng him with funds. Just before the Recreation Club ex- pelled him over $200 had been stolen from the lockers of the members. Hutcherson has made a_full confession riotous liv surroundin to the Chief of Police. The department, | however, is disposed todeal leniently with | him. He will_be arraigned to-morrow | before Justice Morris, when, it ated, | the charge against him will be reduced to | petty larceny, to which he will plead | guilty, and sentence will be suspended upon his promise to leave the State.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 12.—The detectives who are securing the evidence agalinst Mrs. Mentel, charged with the murder of her husband, have been trying to get track of a witness who is of vital impor- tance to their case. Before the inquest Bruno Steinmetz, a member of the Ajameda Fire Depart- ment, told a Call reporter of a statement that had been made to him by a female acquaintance in San Francisco to the ef- fect that Mrs. Mentel had told her on the day of the tragedy that she intended to 8o to Alameda with her husband and that she had made up her mind to kill him. The woman, according to the Steinmetz story, told him that Mrs. Mentel displayed the pistol with which she intended to do the shootlns{ that she took the weapon away from her and only returned it when Mrs. Mentel promised not to carry out her threat. Steinmetz refused to give the name of the woman at the time, stating that he did not care to get her mixed up in the case, The Call reporter gave the state- ment to Deputy Coroner Fowler, but no attention was glven it either at the in- Now the detectives are anxious to locate the woman, but Steinmetz has had a complete loss of memory concerning the matter and will give the officers no ciew to_the identity of the woman. Her testimony would be Important to show Fremedlmflun on the part of Mrs. Mentel. —_————— Alameda News Notes.

The Stanford track team received to- day the severest blow It has ever expe- rienced. E. E. Morgan, the fastest track | man and the best point winner in college, | will not re-enter the university this semester. 'With him out of the competi- tion Berkeley will gain at least fifteen ad- | ditional points—probably enough to decide the intercollegiate field day in her favor. This year Morgan would have carried off first places in the high and low hurdles, and would have made an excellent show- ing in the high jump and the sprints. There is no one in college who can in any way take his place in these events. E. W.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 9 (via Victoria, B. C., Jan. 12).—The first step in one of the most enterprising mining operations in Alaska Sitka, was drained through a 300-foot tunnel last Friday. The Pande Basin Gold Mining Company, organ- ized of San Francisco and New York capital, belleving that the bot- tom of this lake was covered with rich gold-bearing gravel and de- composed quartz which had dropped into it from the ledges of the surrounding mountains, set out more than six months ago to drain it. The lake lies at a considerable elevation, its natural outlet being a One of the leading members of the company is ex-Sur- veyor General W. I. Willey of California. Peter Broon, an experi- enced miner, who has been around Juneau ten years,.was made fore- The lake is 3000 feet long by 2000 feet wide and very deep, lying in a valley. Everybody was driven out of the tunnel when the last blasts were fired in a narrow wall of rock separating the upper end of the tun- nel from the bottom of the lake. and thinking that enough of the rock had been torn away to release the waters, Broon waited patiently several A crowd of Sitka spectators were Becoming weary of and impatient at the delay, Broon en- tered the mouth of the tunnel to see what the matter was. ing this he faced death, for the torrent might have swept down in Broon found that the charge in the hole, as he anticiyated, had He deliberately took out the shot, charged the hole, lighted the fuse and retired down the tunnel. this time the crowd stood breathless over his fate. off, tore away the remaining rock, shattered several feet of glacial clay, and in a few minutes the barrier broke away before the pres- sure of the water on the other side. alr, a mighty roar and the water leaped from the mouth of the tun- nel with the force of a dynamite gun.

Special Dispatch to The Call. JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 9 (via Vie- toria, B. C., Jan. 12).—The latest report from the Nakwashinsky Bay placer dis- covery, near White Stone Narrows and Sitka, is that the ground will run about $47 to the yard of earth. This is in all probability a wild estimate, but from all reports there is little doubt that gold-bearing sand and gravel has been found and located. It is impossible to learn the value of the ground till fur- ther work has been done on it in the spring. The peoplé of Sitka have much faith in it. Juneau is somewhat excited over a re- port that became current that placer ground has been found, within twenty miles of the city. Gold Creek, which runs through one side of the town, yielded about a half million dollars to miners some years ago, and this creek now worked out was the start and foundation of Juneau. As there are so many quartz ledges around Juneau it | is thought- that this last mysterious find may be all right. Parties are now understood to be out examining the ground, though it is not known in what direction they went. Captain J. E. Snevely has just come out over the ice from Dawson to Ju- neau. He is located in the Eagle City district on the Yukon. He says there are 1000 men mining on Seventy Mile Creek, 2000 on Forty Mile and=2000 around Eagle City. He represents a Sandusky (Ohio) company. This is in American territory. He says the out- look of all these creeks is very good. He says also that hardy vegetables are grown and that oas, shoulder high, mature in the vicinity of Eagle City. Up here on the brow of the earth, where the eternal clouds come tumbling down out of the northern lights., in- terest in Atlin and Porcupine over- shadows all other mining camps in Alaska or British Northwest Territory. For example: Thirst for Porcupine Creek gravel kept increasing in the brawny breasts of sixteen men em- ployed in the Big Treadwell mine on Douglas Island until it became no long- er resistible. Fearing that if they quit work without due notice their vay would be withheld until the end of the month or indefinitely, the sixteen men put up a job on the company which worked to a charm. They knocked off work the other evening before the 6 o'clock whistle and all were conse- | quently discharged on the spot. They went right down and got their time to date and the next day the sixteen strong, shrewd and cheerful men came over to Juneau and took a small steam- er for Haines Mission, which is the way to go if going to Porcupine or Atlin. Small steamers are now run- ning from Juneau up the Taku, whence there is a good winter trail to and down Pike River to the lake. Soon another trail will be broken across a comparatively level country to Discov- ery City on Pine Creek and to Surprise Lake, where another town has sprung up and been named Surprise City. The mining camp in any country which has not the affix “city’”” as a part of its bap- tismal name is the exception and not the rule, and does not run very much to the pan. The first large party of the season, headed by Dockie McKin- non and George Miller, left on a Taku steamer yesterday to go In over the Taku trail. The party numbered four- teen in all. Fritz Miller, a brother of George Miller, McKinnon and two L others are the discoverers and original locators of Pine Creek. They took in several tons of supplies. George Rice of Juneau is bullding a big saloon and hotel at Atlin, and it is nearly com- pleted. The winter has been unusually mild in the Atlin region. It has been so open that it is doubted by those in there that | the lake ever freezes. People have been going around in their shirt sleeves. | This statement is made In a letter I| have received dated December 27. Stragglers are still coming into Atlin from the Teslin Lake country. They | are in very bad condition. Quite a number of Indians have arrfved. They came all the way from Wrangel up through the interior. A man named “Blondy” and a cook named Jack, ar- rived at Atlin late in December by way of the Brooks trail from the summit of White Pass. They said they were thirty-six days on the trail. They took in 800 pounds of stuff. At Steamboat Landing, on Taku Arm, the arm is open for five miles, which makes it bad for traveling on the ice. Three saw- mills are busy on Atlin Creek. The logs are usually small, but the lumber brings $150 a thousand feet. The stampede to McGee Creek was a disappointment. Only two or three lo- cations showed any prospect worth staking.
