Douglas citizens have good reason to be elated over their prospects. The sinking of Accompaniment shaft by the Treadwell company during the con- ing season is all undertaking of such im- portance as to be worthy of special men ton. The event is also of much interest to the mining world. The probable re- suit of sinking shaft of this capacity to only half the depth contemplated, means more to Douglas than the location of half dozen mining plants of ordinary size in this immediate vicinity. We un- derstand it to be the intention of tue company to sink their new shaft for I, ,ooo feet if the ore bodies justify such course. Every hundred feet that the great Treadwell lode is demonstrated to exist below the present development means long term of years added to the usefulness of the present plant. Should the lode be found to extend for 1000 feet, the magnitude of the plant which could be proftably employed ill -educ- ing the ore, few can comprehend.
 The last few months have been very important ones ill the history of Alaska, with respect to quartz mining and the results of the season we are about to en- ter upon will be eagerly looked for.

game with Death for an opponent They
are playing with an opponent who has every

persists in paying no attention to his
health. Then some day he breaks down.

The Nelson Estate.

A stipulation has been entered into
by Mrs. Hattie Nelson, widow of the
late John Nelson, and now admins
tratrix of his estate ,.and the bondsmen
of w. T. Rambusch, who was named
as executor of the will. Mr.. RANT busch
WAS under bonds in the sum of 500 900,
and his bondsmen have been endeav-
oring, since his death, to ascertain how
much of the Nelson estate had disap-
peared through his management.
AS stated in these columns two weeks
ago, the estate, at the time Of Mr..
Ram busch last report, was valued at
$40, 440 SO, and there is now less than
81 900 accounted for in the securities,
some of which are of doubtful value.
A settlement was reached last week
by which the eight bondsmen were to
pay Mrs. Nelson $ll 900 in cash and
permit her to take most of the notes
and securities, they to have whatever
benefit might come from the personal
security of Mr. Rambusch. Juneau

a BarIev-Beer Measure.

An effort is to be made In the legisla-
ture to enact law that shall foster the
barley-growing interests. The follow
ing taken from The Sentinel's Madison
correspondence anticipates the pro-
posed movement and is of particular
interest in this locality:
The lobby scents free beer and pref
zels Just ahead The brewing interests
OF Milwaukee are to be interested in
the work of the legislature within a
few days. Farmer representatives
from the barleYJgrowiDg sections Of the
state are getting ready to introduce a
bill or two. These gentlemen are very
much in earnest and are seeking ex-
pert advice in the work of framing
their proposed enactments. Their OBJ
ject is to protect the barley producers
of the state, and their plan is to pass a
law making it illegalto sell beer brewed
with corn and rice as substitutes for
barley, without labelling the product so
that the consumer shall know that he
is not getting the genuine barley bev-
eIage.
1t is claimed out here that the bust
ness of preparing corn for the use of
brewers in the manufacture of beer has
become regular and growing industry
in Milwaukee, and that the relative
cheapness of the grain as compared
with barley enables the brewers to
reap a much greater profit. 1t is not
pretended that corn beer or beer made
from rice is deleterious to health; and
it is acknowledged that the adulterated
drink is a much lighter and less intox-
icating beverage than the plain barley
brew. But the barley advocates con-
tend that the customer is not getting
what be pays for, and that he is as
much entitled to protection against
the competition of the adulterated
beer as the dairyman is against cleo
margarine or filed cheese.
The chief agitation of the question of
barley protection is credited to Dodge
county, with the people of most of the
southeastern part of the state more or
less interested. There is no doubt that
the members from Dodge county are
in earnest in their part of the plan.
The prospect of getting the wealthy
brewers interested in legislation in
conflict with the agricultural interests
is an inviting one to the professional
bill killers, and fully developed "hot
fight" is anticipated as soon as the new
bills are given place on the calendar.

The Washington correspondent Of
The Milwaukee Sentinel, IN Monday s
paper, says that Earl NJ Rogers, of
Viroqua, who held the position under
ex-President Harrison, would like to
be reappointed collector of internal
revenue for the Western district of
Wisconsin, and that his name is the
only one suggested washington thus
far in this connection. We under
stand, however, that James G. Mona
han, editor of The Darlington Re-
publican, and an enthusiastic party
man, seeks the appointment, and also
that Jefferson county may have a
deserving candidate when the proper
time comes. 1t is gwen out, too, on
pretty reliable authority that thegold
Democrats will urge the retention Of
the present incumbent, M. T. Blumen-
field, of this city, and that he may be
to serve couple years longer
than his term of Office, which expires
next fall.

Yesterday was Candlemas day

Yesterday was Candlemas day,
otherwise known as grounding day"
The old saying is that the ground hog,
or wood chuck, makes his annual
weather observations on this day. II
the day is cloudy one and be is unable
to see his shadow he does not return
to his burrow, but remains out, sign
that the balance of the winter will be
mild. On the other hand, if the day
is bright and the animals shadow is
cast, he returns to the seclusion OF his
winter quarters for six weeks longer
and we are to have severe weather for
that length of time. The day was so
sunshiny yesterday that the hog cer-
tainly saw his shadow. We shall as
certain in due time whether or not the
old saying holds good.

THE BRAVE KING OF GREECE

The world today bows in admiration
to the brave King Of Greece who
stands upon his rights and throws
down his ultimatum to the combinsd
powers Of Europe. 1t is a sorry sre'-
tai lie to the world that the Christian
nations Of Europe have combired t.,
assist the barberous Ottaman Empire
against a county which st"nds out
in history with a dazzling grandeur
that time can never dim. Its cap ital
in tn. early centuries when the world
was uptutered and cropping in dark
ness, was the seat Of learning and
the fine arts.
1t gave us an order Of architecture
that has defied the touch Of time, it
gave US perfection IN sculpture and
its poets, writers and orators touched
the deathless Tyre Of song and the
fame they conqured, will only perish
with the human race. The matchless
courage of the Sparten ancestry that
was recorded by Homer and demon
strated at Thermopylae, lives in the
minds of the present Greeks, and
every man who belives in Cristanity
and loves fair play will endorse any
acti on that keeps the hands Of the
Powers off the fight between the en-
lightene1 Greeks and the heather
followers of Mohammet.
