ALASKA NOTES
(From our Exchanges.)

Warren, whose trip of investigation
into the judicial departments of Alas

territory, went to Fort Yukon, saw the
midnight sun and departed fully post
ed on Alaskan affairs,
Itooney Carlson, a motorman on
the 10th level of the Perserverance
mine, near Juneau, fell into an ore
way recently and was instantly killed.
The body was found at the 13th level
by ore loaders. No one was with Carl
son at the time of the accident.
On a recent trip north of the North
western, a waiter, II. .1. Hunter, was
taken insane just before the boat ar
rived at Ketchikan. He was taken
ashore there, but as he showed no
signs of improvement, he was sent to
the Morningside sanitarium at Port
land.
The family of Louis Miller, of Ju
neau, is being detained in Germany
where they were on a visit until Mr.
Miller can obtain an affidavit from
the proper officials that he is an Am
erican citizen. His family has been in
Germany for nearly three years,
Fairbanks' official poundmaster is in
a peck o^t rouble. Some of the owners
of dogs which the poundmaster has
attempted to gather in, have voiced
their objections with their fists much
to the detriment of the official, and
others have brought shotguns into
play.
.1. I!. Grimes and K. It. Sales, two
well known mining men of Hutto,
arrived in Petersburg recently en
route to Windham bay to inspect the
mining property held by the Alaska
Hond & Investment Co. with a view
to its development on a large scale.
W. It. Rust, formerly with the Ta
coma smelter, and principal owner of
the Chichagof mines, has been a recent
visitor to the mines and has perfect
ed plans whereby the concentrates will
here after be treated at the mines in
stead of being shipped to the smelter.
Parsons and Walkenshow, boat
builders of Anchorage, have completed
a triple screw power boat GO feet long
and 12 feet beam for Wagner & John
son. The new boat will be operated
on the Susitna-Talkeetna run, and
will bo propelled by three gasoline
engines.
Petersburg fans have laid out u
baseball ground on the beach at Mit
koff island, directly opposite the town.
The grounds are not available at high
tide, but the Progressive states that
tin* tide goes out every day and stays
out long enough for it ball game.
Crit Tolman of Seward, is building
a skimmer boat with fiat bottom and
wing fins on the side which will be
driven by an air-thrust engine. Crit
developed nearly 100 miles an hour on
the ice .at Kenai lake with this engine
and ,cp. cts to make speed on the bay
Independence Day was celebrated
at Vakutat in up-to-date style. The
nat.vts, Japs and Chinese took up a
subscription for $150 for prizes, and
races of various kinds, wrestling and
other sports were indulged in. Music
for the occasion was furnished by a
native string band of nine pieces.
Ernest Nlehoff came into Ruby re
cently with $1 1,700 in gold dust, the
result of a clean up on .1,000 feet of
bedrock on the Niehoff-Indergard lease
on Spruce creek. This makes an ap
proximate of $5 to the foot. The lease
holders expect to work in similar dirt
the balance of the summer.
Lieut. Jacob Schick, stationed at
Port Gibbon, when he was retired at
his request on account of his health
several years ago and then engaged
in mining in the Tanana and Fair
banks district, has been reinstated in
the army and reassigned to the 14th
l'. 8. Infantry from which he was re
tired.
A representative of the Royal In
surance Coupany and the Queen In
surance Company, recently visiting at
Juneau .informed the residents of that
town that they had a fine fire depart
ment but were woefully short on water
and advised the installation of a salt
water system for fire protection.
Passenger traffic to Alaska the first
six months of the year, ending June
30, broke all former records, accord
ing to estimates compiled. Between
January 1 and June 30, passengers go
ing to Alaska numbered 17,000, includ
ed all classes of travel on American
and Canadian steamship lines. This
surpasses the previous record, it is
estimated, by more than 1,000 persons.
A RUSSIAN VIEW OF
AUSTRIAN COURAGE
To judge from the press dispatches
from the eastern front, one would
imagine that the Austrians are laying
down their arms as fast as the Rus
sians can capture them. According
to the Russians, however, this is not
the case. Thus, Cartoons Magazine
•motes from the Russkyia Vedomostl
of Moscow, which decries the tendency
to underestimate the valor of the ene
my, and pays the following tribute to
the bravery of Francis-Joseph’s forces:
“The story of the Austrians chaotic
and disorderly retreat has been given
wide circulation. It tells of a flight
without stopping, of surrender without
a struggle, of the enemy in terror
leaving everything behind them, and
having only the men when ever it was
possible. Such reports, we are afraid,
will hardly stand the test of careful
examination.
“The Austrian losses were Indeed
heavy. A fourth of Francis-Joseph’s
armies were wiped off the map. Yet,
with tho courage of despair, the men
fought recklessly and bravely, and it
cost us a great deal of energy to break
through their lines anil to frustrate
their plans for recovery.
"To shut one’s eyes to the facts
would not only be an injustice, but
nut is more important, would be an
underestimation of the valor of our
own armies. The Austrians resisted
nibbornly every attack, and whenever
they could, engaged and gave us bat
tle. Many of their counter attacks have
been characterized by terrible persist
ence.
"That the Austrians would invari
bly refuse to accept a bayonet battle
is due in afar greater gedree to a
ystem than to lack of courage. Only
those laid down their arms who were
completely surrounded and who had
not the slightest chance of escape.”

ASBESTOS MINE DISCOV
ERED NEAR JUNEAU
An astestos mine will be among
tho active industries of the Juneau
section. A deposit of pure astestos
has been discoverd accidentally and
will be developed, if the present plans
do not miscarry. The deposit was
discovered a few weeks ago by two
residents of Juneau while they were
out hunting, It is on the mountains
within walking distance of Juneau.
They deposit, says tho Empire, ns first
found, consisted of a stringer two
inches wide, which seemed to widen
out after entering the mountain. Af
ter the first deposit was found the two
men started looking around for other
stringers, and a vein carrying tho as
bestos was found which measured
about eight feet in width. Tho two
men will not talk about their find, but
it is understood that they will develop
the property and place It on tho mar
ket. They were without tools, and the
deposit was covered with moss and
dirt so that they could not examine
it extensively, but intend to make a
full examination of the find within the
next few days.
