Work progressed satisfactorily on
the extension to the east end of ware- j
house No. 2, and at the end of the I
week was 95 per cent complete. Four
section hand-car and tool houses were j
completed during the period. The re
pairs to the terminal water tank were
finished, and the water turned in. At
hospital No. 2 the installation of the
elevator was completed, and most of
the work on the cold storage room.
A small force is still occupied mak
ing fixtures for the hospital. The con
tract work on the five-room cottages
is completed, with the exception of
cottdge No. 31, which is 98 per cent i
complete. The plastering of the com-!
missioner’s and chief surgeon’s resi
dences was finished; and lathers are at
work on the school house, the first
floor of which s now ready for the
plasterers.
Painting.
During the week cottages Nos. 1!),
24 and 33 were painted.
Water Service and Plumbing.
Plumbing was installed in cottages
Nos. 17, 18 and 19; the work at the
school house is 75 per cent complete,
and at the commissioner’s residence
50 per cent. The drain ditch from hos
pital No. 2 cesspool is 95 per cent com
plete. Work on a ditch to drain the
surface water away from the power
plant was started.
Mechanical Department.
The lathe in the tool room is now
connected with the motors and ready
for operation. All operating machin
ery in the shop is now motor driven,
and the connection with the old sta
tionary boilers has been discontinued.
Air pumps have been placed in the
power house for temporary air supply.
Running repairs were made during
the week to engine No. 265, and heavy
repairs to .engines 225 and 280. A
snow danger was applied to the latter.
The usual amount of miscellaneous
work was performed for the construc
tion department, and a small amount
of commercial shop work was also
handled.
Electrical Department.
Work continued on the installation
of switchboards and conduits. Line
men were at work during the week
j crossarming poles and stringing wires
1 in the terminal yards. The lights
! were turned on in the machine shop,
and three motors were operated by
! electrical power.
A chief engineer has been placed in
charge of the power plant. Two of the
boilers in the plant are in operation,
| and one of the other two boilers was
used to some extent during the week.
Eklutna River Wing Dam.
Satisfactory progress is being made
! with the bank protection work at the
Eklutna river. The north wing is fin
| ished to within 150 feet of the end of
! the bridge.
TURNAGAIN ARM DISTRICT.
Clearing Right-of-Way.
Satisfactory progress is being made
by the clearing gangs between Indian
and Glacier creeks. The completion
of this work is set for May 1, 1917.
Grading.
All grading contracts for work be
tween Potter creek and Falls creek
have been let, with the exception of
one cut between Potter. and Sheep
creeks, which will be taken out by
Commission labor. Jack hammers and
compressed air will be used in driving
coyote holes and for the other' drill
work in this cut.
Nearly all the contractors of the
district have their camps completed
and several gangs have started driv
ing coyote holes and facing up their
work.
Grading contracts were let during
the week to the following:
Oscar Lake & Co., Alex Tsakumis
& Co., Tom Kovac & Co., Andrew
Pappas & Co.
Mscellaneous.
A narrow-gauge track has been ex
tended to parallel the man line for
four standard car-lengths at Rabbit
for the purpose of facilitating the
transfer of supplies. Within two days
track will be laid alongside the ware
house at Potter creek. A dinkey train
will make the trip from Potter creek
to Rabbit, a distance of four miles,
with safety in 30 minutes.
The officers’ quarters at Potter
creek are about completed and will be
ready for occupancy next week. All
other campB are practically complete,
except that at Falls creek. The delay
in completing this camp was due to
lack of snow on the trail, making the !
hauling of material impossible. The j
light fall of snow during the past few
days will better conditions in this re-'
spect and put the trail in fair condi- |
tion.
Trail.
A gang of ten men was put to work
during the week placing the trail be
tween Indian creek and Bird creek in
condition for bob sleds, and from Bird
creek to Glacier creek in shape for
double-enders.
AND ALL THAT TIME THE
POOR EARL WAS COOPED
UP IN A BATTLESHIP
MALTON, Eng., Dec. !).—Tenants
on the big estate at Castle Howard,
near here, have removed all doubt to
day as to the temperance views of
Rosalind, countess of Carlyle, the cas
tle’s mistress.
To prove her views were genuine,
the countess has just watched 1,000
bottles, the contents of the castle’s
wine cellar, consigned back to Mother
Earth. The wine was poured into :i
hole in the ground. It would have been
some day the property of the present
earl, who is an officer aboard the bat
the cruiser New Zealand, if the coun
tess, his mother, hadn’t joined the
British Women’s Temperance associa
tion.
FORT YUKON OFF THK MAP.
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
As the main channel of the Yukon i
river has changed at Fort Yukon, the '
bank in front of the town has washed !
away completely, and as a result Hor-1
ton & Moore, Hadley’s roadhouse and
other business establishments have
been forced to move back their places
from the river front. In front of their
old establishments there is little more
than a foot of ground to walk on, and
that may be washed away before the
end of the season. The business places
have not moved yet, but they are pre
parng to get to a place of safety.
Some fears are entertained that the
whole town will be washed away in a
break-up in the near future unless the
channel should change again. At pres
ent the mission is in no danger, but
the river continues to eat away the
bank, and it may be necessary to move
it.
ANNOUNCEMENT.

bor Temple may be rented for social
affairs and entertainment. Make your

THE DARCY MILL
(Patent Applied For)
I he Darcy Alii I is designed to meet the need of the mine owner end
prospector who wants to develop his own mine or open up ore bodies witli
a view of disposing of the property, to work rich stringers of pav ore
to mill and ship concentrates or to try out a property before purchasing?
—ut as low a cost as possible.
lH "ot "toy mm or a makeshift in any way but a mill constructed
on scientific principles and equal in efficiency as any stamp of the same
. ft*'. ,r,ie -000 pound mill has two stamps of 325 pounds each ami drop
at 110 blows per minute for each stamp. The number of blows and the
force of the drop can he increased very easily by placing springes on the
stamp stems or the weight of the blow be increased with additional
weights, which we furnish when necessary.
It occupies a space 4x4 feet; no piece weighs over 100 pounds, and is
easy to move, pack, or set up, and uses less power and less repairs than
any other. The frame, battery blocks, etc., are made of Washington fir.
sti ongly bolted with rods to stand all strains; guides have large wearing
surfaces; in fact the mill is so commuted that any one can handle it
satisfactorily. Shoes and dies are of special hard iron with chilled faces
screens easily removed—the whole front and hack run be removed so as
to get at the shoes and dies. Tappets arranged to clamp on a screw
thread so that the wear can be easily taken up. No expensive machine
work to pay for in repairs, in fact everything about the mill is simple
compact and durable. p •
It is the simplest mill to start your mine with, as it is an easy mat
ter to add two or four more stamps or to increase the output by adding
the extra weights without any alterations in the mill.
We can furnish the complete mill or just the iron work, or lease them
to responsible parties if they show us their properties are ') K We "an
furnish engines, concentrators, copper plates, rock crushers, iigs tables
etc., at market prices. ’ *
A vast amount of ore could be put on the market by using one small
mill for coarse crushing and jig the pulp, which will save the- coarse
metals and get rid of the lightest, and the middlings recrushed in another
small mill and this pulp run over concentrators or tables This plan will
enable a lot of low grade ores to be worked at a profit which it is impos
sible to do in any other way.
Write us if you have such properties or if you wish further particulars.
Yours truly,
H. J. DARCY,
West Tacoma

IT’S A fcEAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the oommon j
and so unusually artistically attrac- I
tive. If you plan to repaper you |
should by all means see these new j
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
