NEWS NOTES.
W. H. I .aw she, who has a crew of
men prospecting on Resurrection
creek at Hope. Alaska, arrived in
to rn on busine^., last night and will
return immediately.
The Alaska Free Gold Mining coni
p.iny, of the Willow* creek district,!
had a large shipment of concentrates j
on the Watson Wednesday n:gtit. con- j
signed to the Tacoma smelter.
Joseph P. Fadger has returned
after a visit to the Oasis. Of the
guests out there James Hayden, Der
rick Lane and Mrs. Sears have gone
to Russian river.
C. W. Winstadt, the architect, takes •
exception to the statement that he
suggested the use of the “basement oi
the school building for school rooms, j
He declared that then' is no such a j
thing in the building as a basement
and that the word is misleading. If |
the present sidewalk grade is main
tained, Mr. Winstadt says, the so- j
called basement will be all above j
ground ami i> really a first floor
which would not only be perfectly
suitable for school rooms but would
be the means of saving a lot of money j
to the city.
Seward has not yet been quite con- j
nected up with Anchorage by tele- !
phone. The line is out to Mile Eighty ,
at this end but they are working this |
way from Anchorage also. The gap
is now about twenty miles.
JUNEAU. July IS.—The steamer
Mariposa struck on an uncharted
rock in Clarence Straits while on her
way south Friday. The rock was \
struck off Port Harrington at a point
where the chart shows HK) fathoms
of water. The boat proceeded to
Ketchikan where a diver made an ex
amination and reported a couple of
plates slightly bent.
A little water was coming in but
the pumps were able to take care of
it and the steamer proceeded south.
The Mariposa had a heavy load of
ore and was very deep in the water,
which fact, coupled with an exception
ally low tide accounts for finding the
rock, which is covered with about 22
feet of water at low tide.—Ex.

VIOLATE SWISS NEUTRALITY I
LONDON, July 30.—Switzerland has sent a formal
protest to Berlin against the violation of the neutrality,
of the Swiss frontier by German airmen It is stated
that the Teutonic flyers have flown over Swiss territory
just as they pleased.
REFUSES ALLIED ORDERS
PASEDABA, Me., July 30.—E. Burrows, a manufact
urer of Portland, Maine, has refused to accept an order
for the manufacture of thirty million dollars worth of
rifles from the allied nations. He uses the same argument
used by others who refused similar orders, that is that his
conscience would not permit him to make weapons for the
taking of human life. _ _. _
EX-SENATOR HENRY RODEN
DISCI SSES NEW MINING LAW.
IDITAROD.—Among the arrivals
rrom Fairbanks who reached the city
>n the launch Edna was ex-Senator
Henry Roden. Since leaving here last
summer Mr. Roden was located fot
>ome months at Juneau. He went
jutside during the winter, and prior
o his return to Alaska he visited
:he San Francisco and San Diego
'xpositions, which he describes as
wonderful shows. Mr. Roden will re
main in Iditarod during the coming
term of court, but he did not announce
SIS' future plans.
The ex-senator, when asked as to
-he merits of the new mining law,
passed by the recent Alaska legis
aturc. expressed strong disapproval
>f some of its provisions. The eli
minations of one of the main features
)t the old or “Roden" law—the re
quirement that $100 worth of assess
ment work be done yearly on each
wentv acres of placer ground—he re
?anted as a mistake. The new law
requires that $100 worth of work
must be done on a claim during the
year in which it is located. The
Roden law required the work to be
ilone within ninety days. “This
feature of the law," said Senator
Roden, “is bound to bring confusion
and litigation. For instance, if a man
stake a claim on December 31, how is
he to comply with the requirement
that $100 worth of work must be done
in the year of location Senator Dan
Sutherland, who has just returned
from the Tolovana. and whom 1 met
on my journey from Fairbanks, told
me that the whole country is already
completely staked, and that the hold
ers are relying on the provisions of
the new law to postpone doing their
assessment work. The result is that
very little work is being done in the
district in spite of so many locations
being made "—Pioneer.
JUNEAU.—Stephen Birch, presi
dent of the Kennicott Mines Com
pany, assistant manager for the Gug
genheim-Morgan interests in Alaska,
last night denied all knowledge of the
proposed extension of the Copper Riv
er & Northwestern railroad from Mile
i7 to the Bering River coal fields.
He also denied all knowledge of the
reported new smelter to be construct
ed at Cordova.
“You can say for me that I know
nothing about them and that there is
nothing in them. If they arc to ex
tend the railroad as reported, I know
nothing about it,” he said. “Smelter
it Cordova,” he exclaimed when asked
About it. “What would be the use of
building a smelter there when we
•ouldn’t get coke to burn?”
“There is nothing in the reports
and you can use my name in saying
so,” he said.—Dispatch.
JUNEAU.—Harry G. Steel, editor
>f the Cordova Times, and postmaster
it Cordova, was a returning pas.
monger on the Northwestern from a
nsit to Seattle and other coast points. |J
Mr. Steel says Cordova business con- j
litions are slowly but surely improv
ing. “We have no boom,” he said,
‘and expect none, but gradually men
ire being put to work, and with the
payrolls in our vicinity the money in
circulation is increasing, and business j
improving.” '
