Within three months the gold mills
of the Juneau district in Alaska will
be crushing 25,000 tons of ore a day,
according to J. A. Hollenthal, Juneau
attorney, who is at the New Washing
ton with Mrs. Hellenthal. The Alas
ka-Juneau plant, which has been un
der construction for two years, will
start operations in March, and as its
capacity is rated from 8,000 to 12,
000 tons a day the output of the dis
trict will be about doubled.
“The Juneau gold camp will be the
biggest gold camp in the world some
day,” said Mr. Hellenthal, “and the
day isn’t far oflf, either. The camp is
growing steadily; the pay roll is
growing, and with the reduction of
mining and milling costs the low
grade properties are becoming more
and more attractive to capital.
“The attitude of the government,
however, has not been one, since the
time of President Roosevelt, to en
courage the entrance into the terri
tory of foreign capital. Rather it has
had a tendency to keep capital out.”
Mr. Hellenthal said that with the
development of the town has come a
stabler prosperity. The miners are
building homes in the district, and
with the proposed bridge to connect
the mianland of Juneau with Douglas
island on the other side ot Gastineau
channel built it will be possible for
many more to own their own homes.
The city of Juneau recently bonded
for a new school house, which will be
built soon.—Seattle P.-l.
The Kllsworth assay office building
was moved this morning to its new
location.
SEARCHER PAILS TO
FIND FREEDING BODY
NOME, Dec. 13.—Manager Hast
ings, of the Serpentine Hot Springs,
returned today after three days’ vain
hunt during a tierce blizzard on the
trail of Conrad Frceding, lost soon
after Thanksgiving. Hastings was I
forced to return when he ran out of
feed for his dogs.
Hastings picked up the trail fifteen
miles from the springs, made a half
circle, went down Reindeer creek,
where he found a ski standing up in
the snow and proceeded half way
down the creek until he found another
Lski. In an old cabin at the
mouth of the creek he saw evidence
that Freeding had gathered willows,
made a fire in an old stove, melted
snow in a can for drinking water and
then had gone on to Spring creek.
Hastings followed Freeding’s
trail up Springs creek to its source
and over the divide to another creek,
the name of which is not known, and
then lost the trail on account of glare
ice from a recent overflow. h rom
there Hastings returned to Taylor.
Hastings says Eroding was heading
in a general westerly direction away
I from any habitation. Hastings and
three more men and two teams will
leave in the morning to continue the
search. The weather is warm, but it
is snowing. Ex.

late and gasoline. The production of
the district this year will average
rtout $15,000 a month, two-thuds of
the output being distillate and one
third gasoline. The product is sold
ulmost entirely to Prince William
Sound consumers.
According to Judge Gray it is the
purpose of the new owners of the Ra
tal la wells to sink several new shal
low wells on their claims in order to
increase the production. The gaso
line output at present amounts to 44,
000 gallons per month.

MUST CORRESPOND WITH
GOVERNOR ABO IT GAME
The following is the latest regula
tion regarding the hunting of game,
etc., as stated in a game circular just
issued by the governor:
“The Sixieth Congress made im
portant amendments to the original
law. Under the new law (35 Stat.,|
102), approved May 11, 1008, Alaska
is divided at latitude 62 degrees into
two game districts, with special seas
ons for each district; caribou on the
Kenai Peninsula are protected until
1012; non-residents hunting big
game other than deer or goats, and
residents desiring to export heads or
hides of big game from Alaska are
required to obtain licenses; authoriza
tion is also given for the employment
of wardens and registration of
guides. All matters relating to the
issue of licenses, employment of war
dens, and the registration of guides
are placed in charge of the governor
of Alaska. Hereafter all correspond
ence on these subjects or concerning
the shipment of hands or trophies
should be addressed to the Governor
of Alaska, Juneau, Alaska. The De
partment of Agriculture will con
tinue as heretofore to issue permits
for the collection and shipment of
specimens for scientific purposes and
for live animals and birds for exhibi
tion or propagation. Correspondence
relating to these matters should be
addressed to the Secretary of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C.”

In conclusion I want to say that I
owe every success I have had in bil
liards to my parents. My mother
gave me the greatest help when I was
learning to measure angles with my
eye as a boy of 5, standing on a soap
box at a big billiard table and handl
ing a cue that I could hardly lift.
My father had a hotel at Cornwall

and I, as kiddies, showed signs of be
coming successful players.—(Willie
Hoppe in Seattle paper.)
