A Worthy Promotion.

MT. J. P. Corbus has been made superintendent of the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Co.,, which include the old Treadwell mill with 240 stamps and the new Three Hundred with 300 stamps. Mir. Corbus has been assistant Supt. for long time in name only, for he has had complete control of the whole Douglas Island plant This promotion is deserved. Go where you will and you will not find more thoroughly competent mining expert than Mr. Corbus. As gentleman and business man he is pleasant and affable. He don't do great deal of talking, but when he does talk, you can bank your last dollar on what he says. His men like him because he is just and never breaks faith with them. The Indians make him the most trouble and the boys tell several good jokes about his way of getting them to do as he orders. We will report some of these stories in a future issue. Our readers can form an idea of the kind of man MT. Corhus is when we say that he is less than forty, is the the Supt of the two largest mills in the world, handles millions of dol lars every year and yet is as plain and unassuming, as free from conceit as the most common, every day business man. This can truthfully be said of Mir. Cor bus.

and then they also possess the addition al advantage of being free from the de- sire to take and retain the diamonds.
 "The diamonds are then assorted in to various grades and sizes and sold to representatives of large London dia- mond houses.
 MT. Robeson is a pleasant gentleman and will no doubt be well liked by the men under him. He is a married man and brought charming wife with him. They are housekeeping near the MeXi- can mill

COOKS INLET.

Prospectors Returning to That Country.
 The U. $. Mail steamer Dora left Juneau for Cooks Inlet and way ports on the 10th inst. and she carried num-
 Der of passengers who are going to that country to develop their claims and further prospect that part of Alaska. Among those who left on the last trip of the Dora was Mir. $. w Wible, of Bakersfield, California, who is making his second trip to the inlet. He first went to the country in June of last year and came out in August. He has some claims there and will look for some more. The News man met MT. Wible on the Orizaha and he stated that in his opinion the placer claims in that part of Alaska were valuable, but that no work had been done on any of them except in the creeks. He seemed to be satisfied with bis prospects there. He will return to California next fall.

The subject for the evening at the last Thursday night meeting of the Douglas Literary Society was James Russell Lowell, and all present found many things of interest in the papers that were read.

For the next meeting "Greek Art and Litera- ture" is to be discussed and the session cannot help but be interesting.

THE NEN SUPERINTENDENT NIT. A. M. Robeson in Charge of the Ready Bullion, Mex
 ican and Seven
 Hundred.
AND DIAMONDS

When Capt. Mein came to Douglas Island a few weeks ago he brought with him MT. A. M. Robeson, of New Jersey, and installed him as superintendent of the Mexican, Ready Bullion, and the New Seven Hundred mines and mills.
 A News man has been after MT. Robeson for more than a week, but not until last Saturday was he able to get him in such a shape that he couldn't escape. When the writer suggested an interview he commenced "shieing" and for time it looked as if we would get but little of the much we expected. Like Mir. Corbus, MT. Robeson is given more to acting-to doing-than he is to talking, but by using our best persua- sive powers and explaining that our readers must know something of the new men who superintend the greatest mines in the world, MT. Robeson con- sented to give us some of the informa- tion we desired.
 MT. Robeson is almost thirty-siX years of age and a native of New Jer- sey. His first experience in mining was at the Scranton, Pa, coal mines and steel works where he remained for three years. From Scranton he went to Venezuela and entered the employ of the TreadwelI people. His was first employed in that country by Captain Mein and MT. Perkins. The prop critics were called the Fl Callao with l2O stamps and the Venezuelian-Aus- tin gold mines, having 40 stamps. The ore was free milling and no concen- trates were saved. It was very rich grade of ore. He remained in Venezuela for four years and during the greater portion of that time he was in the employ of the Treadweu people.
 From there he went to Boston and attended a Technical school for the purpose of studying professional sub- jects, and while there he was offered a position with the De Beers Diamond mines in South Africa, which he ac- cepted and remained in the employ ot that company for five years. He en- tered the employ of the De Beers Co., as mechanical engineer and when he left was assistant general manager, and during the last six months he was act ing general manager during the absence in America of the general manager Mr. Gardner Williams of California.
 From South Africa MT. Robeson re- turned to New Jersey, and he was ten dered position at Treadwel which he accepted.

The News man became interested Tn Diamond mining, a business so little understood and yet of such great inter- est to everyone.
 "PIoase give the readers of the News a little information concerning these great diamond mines," said the scribe.
 "The De Beers Co.," said Mir. Robe son, town all the really good paying diamond mines except one-the Jagers Fontine-situate in the Orange Free State. The three mines of the com pany by which 1 was employed are called the De Beers, Kimberly, and Premier situated in Cape Colony, right on the border of the Free State.
 "The capital stock is about S2OOO0,- GOO, and annually pays a dividend of forty per cent. They control the price of diamonds by limiting the quantity produced. About 2,OOO whites are em~ ployed at these mines, and 7,OOO natives.
 "The output of diamonds is about 5000 carats per day, necessitating the handling of about 5000 tons of ore, which is taken out of three shafts.
 "Mr. Cecil Rhodes is chairman of this company and to his great ability is due the success of these great mines. His great wealth comes from the mines and they have furnished the money with which he has accomplished so much good in that part of Africa"
 "Now," said MT. Robeson, "with this preface, will give you few facts con corning diamond mining"
 "The ore or earth which contains the diamonds is called 'diamondiferops ground and occurs in pipes or craters that may have been old volcanoes. It is of a bluish gray color and contains diamonds, pebbles, garnets, magnatite and several other minerels. This ground or ore is mined by what is called the caving system. After being taken out of the shaft it is deposited on floors or large fields, as they are called, in layers of twelve in- ches deep. It remains on the ground for one year through the rainy sea son. The action of the weather on this ground breaks it up or disintegrates it, thereby releasing the diamonds. This disintegrating process is also assisted by ploughing and narrowing it two or three times during the year with steam pIoughs.
 "One of the mines operated by the De Beers Go. has floors 12O0 yards wide and from three to four miles long.
 "After the ground has been laying out in these fields for about one year and become thoroughly broken up, it is sent to the rotary washing machines, each of which handle about 250 tons of ground per day. These machines con- centrate from 100 tons to one ton and of course that one ton contains all the diamonds. These concentrates are then taken to jigs where they are fur ther concentrated and washed and brought into condition for treatment by the automatic sorters, which by the way are wonderful machines, the in vention of an American, and they are more accurate in discovering and re- taining diamonds than human beings,

Capfain Crockett.

The genial captain of the Wolcott returned to Juneau last week. He made one trip to Sitka and Unalaska and return, which took him % days. When he returned to Sitka he was hap pily surprised to meet his wife and two daughters, Lou and Clara, waiting for him. The Captain was ordered over to Juneau with his boat for inspector and we understand she is again to go onto the Skagway run. We hope this is true. Our people like Capt. Crockett and his boat and will extend to them a hearty welcome.
