That Camp Will Probably. Pro
"ducd the Greater Part of
a Million.
The Rubyites, who have had
a long time to prepare their es
fimates, cannot see where the
output of their camp can he less
than $(500,000 for this season,
and returning travelers from
Ruby are inclined to put in with
those figures.
Ruby camp is working a small
number of men now, waiting for
the rains to come and furnish
the water needed for more ex
tensive workings. There are plen
ty men on the creeks waiting for
the rain to give them work, but
it is the individual prospector and
the group of two or three own
ers or laymen who are doing their
own work who are taking out the
money in the Ruby camp.
The spring cleanup at Ruby
amounted to $130,000, which had
been increased to over $200,000
by the first of this month. Five
or six thousand dollars a day in
gold dust is the town’s receipts
'nt(W, Which will be increased
when the rain comes.—Fairbanks

Collector Willis in Interview at
Dawson Favors Free Entry
Into Shushanna.
Dawson, Aug. 8.—J. 11. Willis,
collector of customs for Alaska,
arrived here (recently and left
a few days ago on a launch with
Eli Verreau for Eagle, whence he
proceeded on a steamer to Fair
banks. Mr. Willis, in speaking
of the Shushanna strike, said:
“The United Stales has no
marshal or customs man in the
White river or Shushanna dis
trict. 1 have decided it not ad
visable to send a customs man
there for at least a year. 1 be
lieve the conditions just now so
uncertain that the location is not
yet to be called a camp, and the
boys who are stampeding there
to take (he long chances on find
ing something worth while and
to develop the country will have
hardships enough for the next
few years without an additional
burden of customs duties. My
term of office will end within a
few weeks, owing to the change
of government, and 1 expect to
be out of the service shortly af
ter I get back fo Juneau from
Fairbanks. Hut 1 shall recom
mend to my successor that no
custonjs man be stationed on the
boundary in the vicinity of the
White or the Shushanna for a
year at. least.
"The Shushanna watershed, I
believe, is within the Fourth ju
dicial division of Alaska, which
means that the deputy marshal
for that district will he under
Marshal E. T. Erwin, recently
appointed, with headquarters at
Fairbanks, to succeed Marshal
Love, retired.”

ALASKA AND ITS
BOTTLED COAL MINES
- §*
When the tourists of the be
attle Chamber of Commerce vis
ited Sitka, Alaska, they saw the
naval coaling' station construct
ed some years ago by Uncle Sam
to which coal, is transported
across the continent from Poca
hontas and other eastern fields,
at heavy cost, for use by Amer
ican ships in Alaska waters. And
coal of equal quality in inex
haustible quantity, if geological
reports be true, bottled up in the
mountains of Alaska, only two or
threle hundred miles away.
Think of that!
At Unalaska, where the tour
ists, returning on the Victoria,
stoppe don Sunday, July 22; an
other impressive object lesson
was presented. At this naval sta
tion, in one of the most beauti
ful harbors visited, was anchored
-a Norwegian ship unloading Aus
tralian coal for use by ships of
the American navy. And the Mat
anuska and Bering coal fields of
Alaska only a few hundred miles
away.
Think of that 1
The coal thus transported costs
115 or more per ton, quite apart
from the expense to the govern
ment of maintaining these coal
ing stations. •
