IHE DOUGLAS MINIER
"A Saloon Fight.

A fight, which ended seriously for both
contestants, took plac, Yesterday after
noon on Front street. The row commenc-
ed in the Douglas City saloon, and was
between Hank Osborn and Slim Birch.
Osborn and Birch had had dispute the
evening before over beer check in the
formers dance hall, but it was thought
that the affair would not come to anything
more serious than few words.
At about o'clock yesterday afternoon
Osborn entered the Douglas City saloon,
which is owned by the three Birch broth
ers, and the Wordy warfare of the evening
before was once more commenced. The
words soon led to blows. Birch was
knocked down by Osborn, and the former
claims that the latter then bit and kicked
him about the face. Osborn had decided
ly the best best of the fight so far, and then
he started for his saloon and dance hall
which is just next door,
Birch got up from the floor and ran be-
hind his bar and secured a revolver, but
the weapon was promptly taken away
from him by his two brothers, Kid and
Bob. Slim then ran into Oeborn's place
and the fight was again continued. o.
born reached behind the bar for gun, but
before he could effectually use it, it was
knocked out of his hand. 1t is claimed
that in the fight at close quarters that then
ensued, Birch bit Osborn on the nose and
ear. Both men finally came out of the
affair badly battered and bleeding.
Osborn later in the day sWore out war
rants for the arrest of Slim, Bob and Kid
Birch, the former upon charge of may
hem and the two latter as accessories to
the crime Kid and Bob, while admitting
that they had prevented outsiders from in
terfering with the fighters, claim that
they were not aware until afterwards that
any biting had been done.
Slim Birch was arrested and lodged in
Jail at Juneau by Deputy Marshal Watts,
late this afternoon.

MINING NOTES
LOCAL

The machinery for the rreadwell cleo
trio light plant is now being transferred
from the wharf to the power house.
Frank Kane and C. D. Knapp who but
recently returned from a prospecting trip
in the neighborhood of Hoonah intend
leaving the city again tomorrow to pros
pect the country about twenty miles above
the place visited by them on their last
trip.
G. D. Rogers has purchased from l.. l..
Williams and Frank G. Howard a one
third interest in the Climax and Enterprise
lodes, situated in upper Sheep creek basin
and embracing within their boundaries the
three veins on the Silver Queen belt.
Some very rich ore carrying gold and sill
yer was recently uncovered on the center
vein in the Enterprise, being similar in
character to the Silver Queen ore.
Fred Stevens of Juneau now has four
men employed in doing development work
on his three claims, the Irish Queen, Uncle
John and Princess, which are located on the
Juneau side of the channel almost directly
opposite the old Union mill. Stevens says
he has considerable good ore in sight,
and from the appearance of several small
pieces of quartz that he has taken from the
Princess ledge, the ore will run pretty high
in gold.
E. P. Pond and j. @. Davies who left
Juneau on the nth inst. for Berners bay
where they intended doing development
work on the two claims located by them
this summer will probably return to Ju-
neau in few days bringing with them a
boatload of ore from the lodges to be sub
jected to mill test. From the indications
already presented these two discoveries
appear to be about the best ones made this
year in the Berner bay district. The prop
erty in question is situated about mile
and half above the NOVEL; company's
property and it comprises tWentY-foot
and four-foot ledge.
