For Vice-President J. S. SHERMAN Of New York. A Dome creek miner wishes know just how far a man may In defending his mining property. I Is natural to assume, that the quea tlon is suggested by the affair last week on Dome.

But Just the miner keeps his query free tho question of title, neither will th answer discuss question of title. Tho owner of mining propert who Id In actual foot possession It, has a right to command any In ruder lo deparl. and If he refuses to ejecl him from tho premises tho use of sufficient physical force Ho Is not Justified In taking life, trespassers, simply because the are trespassers. One person ma slay another In defense of life person, either believing himself bo In actual peril or defending oil: era. But he may not slay In dt fen.ic of property.

Take the case of a man In con pany with others, defending pos session of property either for hln self or for an employer. If. in th attempt to take such property or deprive Iho defender of -his posses slon thereof, the acts and conduct those seeking to dispossess bin viewed In the light of all surround Ing circumstances and conditions. Induce In him a reasonable belief thai his own life or the life of any of those, assisting him In his pro tectlon of tho property IH l-j Imminent danger, or thai ho or they are threatened with great bodily harm, then he has tho right to defend himself or tliosu assisting him, even tho extent of taking the life of the assailants. Hilt this Is self-defense, and nol defense of property.

iort time ago published President oosevolt's telegram from Porto Ico, In which tho president Insisted hat tho order of discharge of the egroes be executed without regard "the yelling either of the politic- ana or the sentimentalists," It hould be clear to everybody that he entire responsibility for the dls- tiargo of the negro troops rests with the president. It is known that Taft, as head of the war de- artment, had doubts about the mater, and wished to look into It more ully: but rode over i him Therefore It Is difficult to Bee how the affair can be be charged against Taft or how he cau be fairly accused of being "par- to the blackest conspiracy ever jorpetralod upon negro'soldiers." FUTURE OF THE TANANA IS OUTPUT PLENTY OK WATER FROM NOW ON WOULD MEAN OVER MILLION. MADE TOUR OF CREEKS J. H. Sterling, of Vachon's, Sayi Tliat Times Would Instantly fm prove With Plenty cif Water Fo Sluicing.

J. S. Sterling, of Vachon Co. has returned from a business tou of the main producing creeks. Hi says all that Is needed to make bus! ness flush In all lines Is el) iough rain from now to the end of tho sluicing season 1 to enable tho miners tc clean up their pay dirt.

Mr. Sterling says that on some tbo creeks there aro more dump than Is usually fouud in tho wlnte time. These have been piled by operators during the draught, a there was not enough water fo sluicing purposes. With tho aid rains these dumps would be washe up and a great deal of other dlr would follow Into tho sluice boxes so that by tho end of tho season more than a million dollars woul bo added to tho output. Outside of the shortage of water tho conditions wero never better 01 the various creeks.

Tho last rain fall proved a great benefit, but wha Is needed Is a steady rain for couplo of weeks. In that case luisl ness would boom In all lines. Some days ago Taft spoke at'tho dedication of tho new court house at Germantown, Virginia, five miles from Hot Springs, nnd he took part in the opening session of the court. He delivered an address upon tho administration of justice by the In his speech he said that the feeling of responsibility among the people' of the country for the government and the courts was about Ir.rgely by tho fact that peoplo are called upon to act on Juries and In other ways help to 'decide the Issues brought 'tho courts. "As long" he said, "as' the people feel that these are their'courts, and that, when they go wrong- and Injustice results, they ought to be ashamed of the wrong and feel that they are responsible for It, you- can count upon continuance of a free government." Ho upheld the right of the citizen properly to criticize the courts, so that "those who administer justice may feel that they are under the critical eyes of the men and women Srho aro entitled to have the courts of the people administered without vor." fear or fa- -The 'Brownsville Incident is up It will probably never 'a.

HarrHon Other Indus- Irlal Workers See the Signs of Coining Prosperity. The recent articles In tho Times giving the views of Alfred Brooks, of the United States geologl-al survey; Major Richardson, chairman of the government road commission; E.

a. Harrison, editor 6f Alaska- Yukon magazine; T. A. Rlckard, proprietor and editor of tho Mining and Sclentin Press, and scores of others on the future of the Tanana havo greatly Interested Falcon Joslln, of the Tanana Valley railroad. Mr.

Joslln Is a practical Industrial worker who saw tho signs, pointing to tho richness and vast treasures of wealth of Interior Alaska, several years ago. Ho showed his faith In tho country by building the first railroad under almost unsurmount- alilo difficulties. Ho Is also greatly Interested In the reported strike of quartz on Chatham creek. Should any paying quartz mines be developed In this part of tho country It will mean lonnago for the railroad. "Because of the drought and other unforseen difficulties," said Mr.

Joslln, while talking to a group of friends about tho Tanana yesterday, "the business of tho railroad has been somewhat discouraging, but the fact remains that tho ast wealth of Interior Alaska will make this a great country In time. A railroad system, of course, will greatly assist In developing these natural resources. "Tho Immense coal deposits In the foothills of tho Alaska range, the quartz ledges of tho Ilonnlfleld and other districts and the of freight necessary to get heavy machinery and other supplies to large tracts of dredging and hydraullcklng ground will, some day. furnish plen ty of tonnage for a railroad system along the entire length of the Tanana valley and to a tormina) coast point."
