1)00 stamps which the Alaska—lu
neau will establish on the beach
below I lie sawmill, rolls and Chil
ians are to be creeled which are
expected to make tile output of
the company just double wind llie
stamps will produce.
On I he upland just above where
I lie Alaska—Juneau is building llie
wharf over which I he supplies and
maehinerv will be carried aslmre. ,
is llie mill sile on which llie com
pany will creel ils stamps ami
Chilian mills.
The same document makes I lie
announcement that the tunnel in
Mount Roberts, or Swede Hill, lias
now been driven 1,500 feel. Tile
entire distance which is In la*
driven is only 2,500 feel. This i*
from the Jualpa basin side.
These facts are made public by

less. Judge Overlleld decided Ihe
case in favor of Ihe company.—
