commercial value. We do not ella IN that
an ounce of gold in a ton, of iron ore
would make such a difference in it's ef-
fects upon our instruments that we could
detect its presence. But there are fac
tors in our favor which help us out even
in such low grade prore ties as those at
Rossland. High god va ues are generally
associated with high iron values and as
we can easily detect the presence Of iron
in the lodes we could judge whether
there is likely to be gold in quantities as
sociated with it.
"Then. too. in Rossland. gold and cop
Fer are generally associated. Our instru
n,ents are pecula.y sensitive to copper.
and we have been able to detect the diff
ference between lodes which varied only
half of per cent in their copper Values.
Thus. if we found ind cat ons that cop
per in considerable quantit es We're pres
ent underground. we would know by
anoogy that gold was likely to be as
sociated with it.
There are many things which we do
not claim that our process WI do. For
instance. there may be a boz an8a pocket
of free gold in an other wise barren
quartz lode at de tn of 100 feet We
do not assert that our instrument would
be sensitive to that comparatively small
volume Of god at such depth.'

An electrical device for locating mtll-
eral- bearing lodes has al last been taken
30 seriously that James j. Hill and other
leading capitalists have organized COM
pany to manufacture and introduce it,
ond some leading mining men of Spokane
have admitted it's merit. 1t is being in
troduced in that vicinity by Ernest Dale
Owen, president of the company, who
thus described it to the Spokesman
Review:
"Our invention is an electrical appara-
tus for locating mineral in the eadth and
for indicating the quantity of the metal
and it's depth below the surface.
1T is impossible to give description
OF the principle in few words, but put
ting it in as short form as possible. it
has more conductivity than the earth on
each side, and we have a system by
which we can measure that conductivity
as compared to the earth.

given distance apart, which may be 100

known to electricians, this current Will
make a circuit through the ground so
as to get back to the place from which it

making this circuit the current will seek
out the path Of least resistance, and if

For the past ii onth there have been

that the Z. p. r. was in the field and
had secured the property: then it was
said that the Crows Nest c a company
had secured an option on the group Of

both of the above Companies were frying

that, while recognizing that it was the
biggest proposition of it's kind in Canada,
yet they We're slow in coming to the
front and closing up the deal.
On Sunday last S. w. Gebo arrived
H. Steele, and soon was in consulta-

Of so fset, having depth Of over 1000

vein is said to be 25 feet WIDE. 1t is
estimated that there are over 1000, 900
tons of ore in sight. The ore is hema-
tite of superior quality, and analyses
show that the ore contains 55 to 60 per

phosphorus and sulphur. The grade OF

The cause of their coming was an invitation to the Indians from Hoo nah to spend two weeks here in feast ing and dancing. Also anumber of na- tives from Juneau, Douglas, Sitka, Chil- kat and Klukwan were here about a month, for the Hoonah Indians were expected two weeks before they arriv- ed.

JUSTIFICATION.

JUSTIFICATION.
 The man who has charge of the mud singing department of the Juneau Dis patch gives vent to a rather half-heart- cd apology to the citizens of Douglas Island in his paper of the l6th inst.
 The News of last week took the gen tleman to task because in a summary of the political importance of the vari- ous towns of s. E. Alaska he entirely omitted any mention of Douglas. He pleads as an excuse that ''the omission of Douglas was an oversight and unin- tsntional," and we suppose that we must take him at his word. However, a grain of salt should be administered with the dose when we reflect that the policy of the paper he represents has been to always omit mention of our Island city in very much the same manner.
 To relieve his mind, or his conscience, after the apologetic strain the writer takes the opportunity, whether natur- ally presented or not, to belabor tho quiet little town of Sitks and incident ally the governor.
 We are not here to fight Sitka's bat ties, but following the line of thought which seems to be uppermost in the mind of the Dispatch men we can hard ly understand why the relative import ance of Douglas evaded his eager thoughts.
 Not wishing to indulge in compari- sons. which are odious in all cases, and might be doubly so in this, we cannot refrain from mentioning some of the points which place our town in the fore front among the cities of South eastern Alaska.
 No city may be considered permanent that has not within itself resources that fully justify it's size and the value of it's improvements. Nothing is con- sidered of so great importance by town builders as a large pay roll. The Tread we'll mines and mills which areas we stated iu a former article-situated in Douglas employ in the neighborhood of 1000 men in the different depart ments of their works. These men re- ceive a good wage, paid to them in cash on the first day of each month.
 The trend of affairs in our city the past year has been forward and not backward. Parties who left Douglas 6 or 8 months ago aud have recently re turned, look with astonishment upon the improvements that have taken place in that time. Our merchants are prosperous and solvent. There are no bankruptcies charged up against us. We have a good saw mill, and second one in course of construction. We have a good harbor and docking facili- ties. We have four large churches and six different religious denominations represented on the Island. We have a Chamber of Commerce and well equipped Fire Department. We have a fue system of water works and cleo tric lights. We have five organized lodges and several other social organi- cations. We have a we'll regulated newspaper that cheers the hearts of our citizens each week, and through the kindness of Uncle Sam we have post office.
 And yet, iu spite of all this, the somnolent editor of this great daily published only about three miles away has the nerve to pace the ficor of his sanctum with his pocket full of Hem pel's quoins for ballast and write the astonishing edict that he forgot us.

Our village is deserted since the Hoo nahs left here, nearly three weeks ago. Many of our Indians left to go with a number of the Killisnoos to Kluvak. They expect to return about the first of March, to go again to their different hunting grounds; others to cut wood for the oil and guano company at Kill lisnoo. They use several thousand cords during the season that the works are running. The works begin running the first of May and stop about the middle of November.
 We have had very severe snow storm this month, as well as last. It got very cold Saturday, the 9th, began showing Sunday, and showed very hard until Tuesday afternoon. Then the weather moderated very much, and it began raining and rained until Wednesday afternoon, then cleared and the sun came out bright and warm. Then sometime in the night it began snow ing and snow and sunshine alternated much like March weather, only we have had little wind.
