MILLS WILL BE BUILT
To Cut Lumber for Boats Along the
Lakes In Alaska.

Lakes In Alaska.
The last obstacle has been removed in
the matter of the establishment of the
saw mills of the Canadian Mill Com.
pany at the lakes on the lines of routes
from Wrangel, Skagway and Dvea. to
Dawson and the Klondike. The scheme
IS one of the most interesting yet
launched in connection with the in
crease of trade to the north, and con-
templates saw mills at different points
along the chain of lakes that lie in the
direct path of all routes leading across
the mountains from tidewater to Daw-
son. The principal business of the
saw mills will be to cut lumber for the
boats to be used by prospectors and
miners going down to the gold fields.
When running to full capacity the mills
will be able to turn out so completed
boats daily.
The first use that the saw mills will
be put to, however, will be cutting
lumber to build two stern wheel steam
ers, which are to ply on the lakes.
-oA' "iii w ~ iOOb iollSi 10 ltcb Dedlll
and will draw Is inches of water. Al
ter the completion of the steamers the
mills will be started cutting boat lum-
ber and the daily capacity will be 40
900 feet. The mills will have electric
light plants and run during the dark
hours of the short days or on night
shift if necessary. The boats will be
delivered at the head of Lake Bennett,
and the steamers can take long strings
of loaded boats and tow them dis
tance of ~ miles. This will be much
to the advantage of those owning the
boats, as the peculiar typographical
conditions are such that head winds
prevail during the greater part of the
season when lake navigation is open.
Each steamer will have a capacity of
l25 passengers. The tow of the small
boats will do away with the necessity
of sails. Navigation opens on the lakes
about April 10, and the mills are ex-
pected to cut for the steamers early in
March. A general freight business by
barges will be conducted on the lakes,
the barges as we'll as the boats to be
towed by the steamers.

The Alaska Mining Record has the
following nuggets" anent Klondikers
passing through juneau:
Frank Swanson, who is now in Ju-
neau, made the first sluice hox that
was ever used in the Klondike district.
This was on Gold Bottom creek. He
is young man with a clear complexion
and clear record, and is not million
aire vet, but has fair prospect of be-
coming one this year. He brought out
about $50, 900 in checks.
"Nigger Jim" came out with these
last Yukoners, but stayed at Skagway
for few days He is said to be the
whitest man in Dawson and hence his
nickname. His real name is James
Daugherty or in the aristocratic past
D'Aughtre. He was in with Alex Nc
Donald on several recent deals and
brings with him in checks about $780,
000
Sam Stanley, of Junea, has not done
so badly IN the interior. He comes
out with about $4,000 in gold, and
has an interest in two of the finest
claims on the Eldorado.
Fred Stevens sold out the Dawson
opera house just before the big fire for,
it is said, $4,000, but he did not bring
all this out with him.
George Miller had sold, when he left
Dawson, about 500 Of his 900 head Of
sheep, and cleared about $50, 900 out OF
the transaction.
George Apple had the biggest chance
in his life to make a fortune when
candles went up to 81 each, and then
became unpurchasable at any price.
He made moulds for the making of tai.
low candles-and there WAS plenty Of
tallow, but he gave his ingenuity to
the benefit of the community. Still
he need not fear the grocery bill for
another 20 years.

wide avenues of the capital city enabl-
ed the Sir Knights participating in the
parade to appear to better advantage
than en- many previous occasions. The
Communicates were reviewed by Presi-

government on the globe.

yer, August 9, 1892, with full attend
ance. The grand parade was brilliant

over a long and beautiful route, over

and the second round clears up any
doubt
The long-suit lead is the best lead,
as a forward pay, when there is prob
ability that you and your partner can
command such re-entry az Will De re-
quired TO bring in established long
cards; it is also best as defensive PLAY
when adversaries hold trump strength,
and the command in your shortest suit.
On the other hand, the original lead
Of your two-card suit, especially when
headed by any card ranging from j. TO
inclusive, is very advantageous when
your other suits are in tenace, or when
each contains but one protected honor;
the short-suit lead also indicates will
lingness to ruff.
By leading out your J. TO- or OF
a two-card suit you ask your partner
to hold up his protecting cards therein,
and you get rid Of the lead from a
hand which is only sure Of doing its
best service when establishment Is be-
ing worked by others.
