SEEN IN THE GOLD
FIELDS OF ALASKA
Dust and Nuggets Filed About in
Boxes, Pals and Buckets in the
Town Of Fairbanks.

Gold in buckets, boxes and bags, daz-

OF Herman Chaplin when be reached

the yellow dust was awaiting ship
ment to the essay office to be melted
into bricks. but not the sort usually
manipulated by the "bunco man."
Mr.. Chaplin is Vice-President Of the
Seattle National Bank and accustomed
to the sight of wealth, but the view he
had Of the $5,000,OO0 in dust took away
his breath He was touring in the
north through the last six weeks and
visited the two-year-old camp. Mr..
Chaplin, speaking Of his visit. said
Il made the trip partly for pleas
ure and partly for sense Of duty,
for we in Seattle have profted so much
from this northern country that it
seened the least some Of us could do
was to go and look at It. ! Travelled

thousand people do the business Of this
immense stretch Of country. If. with
it's present development. this country
has proved such a valuable tributary
to Seattle. il is not difficult to look into
the future as the country develops
and see one cause at least for the real
izing Of some Of our Seattle ambitions.
"The trade. though. is one that can
not be held unless it is properly cared
for. 1t is too valuable, and the people
there are too sensible to give their
trade anywhere except where they get
value received. The people you meet
impress you as hardy. energetic men,
who have all the health and energy
typical Of the northern climate.
-They told me that the towns we're
quiet, but if so am sure that the trib-
utary country was busy. People have

 Pope Capan of Tubac, presum- ably in response to an innate crav- ing for excitement, caused a stir in his home village on the 10th by shooting holes in the atmosphere during a religious procession. 1t is alleged that the bullets flew so close to some of the people as to endanger life, and Pope was ac- cordingly arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace by discharg ing firearms and interfering with a religious service. He was brought to Nogales by Deputy Sheriff Leon Gaston of Tubac Wednesday for trial before Justice Gildea, as 1t was supposed that Justice Black, in whose precinct the disturbance occurred, was not holding court. However, as Justice Black has de- cided to try the case, the man was sent back to Tubac.

CRANE DEAL MEANS
 THAT THE RUBICOA
 HAS BEEN CROSSED

The purchase by the Crane Company of Chicago of a block and half of property in this city, situated between D and and Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets, at an outlay of $44,000 is q real estate transac- tion of considerable magnitude.
 But it is more important in other re- spects.
 To understand the full significance of the purchase one must bear in mind that the Crane Company is the largest manu- facturer in the world of wrought iron pipe, malleable and cast iron fittings for water, steam and gas; brass and iron valves and cocks, etc. In the city of Chi cago alone the company maintains fifteen separate manufacturing plants and ware- houses, and it has branches in most of the important cities of the country, including Birmingham.
 MT, w. H. Kettig. the local manager of the company, went to Chicago yesterday, and it is assumed that upon his return official announcement will be made as to what purpose the company intends to put the property which it has acquired in this rify

GOLDEN wlT.I OPPORTUNITY.

This period of waiting is golden with opportunity for the people of Birming- ham. REALTY earnestly and sincerely advises those who contemplate acquiring homes to lose no time in taking the first steps. Home building property will never be as cheap again as it is at this writing. And to those who have spare money to invest in property within the city limits. or in the immediate suburbs, REALTY would say invest it as soon as possible with the assurance that you will reap handsome returns. The position of the Birmingham Realty Company is so strong before the public that REALTY does not hesitate to give this advice for fear that the motive will be misunderstood The company does not have to hawk its hold ings. Perhaps it would serve it's own in- terest best by discouraging purchases at present But the company has learned by pleasant experience that whatever ben efits the people of Birmingham reacts beneficially upon itself, and it counsels them to seize this opportunity, knowing full well that it is speaking from the dictates of wisdom

ITS DEEP SIGNIFICANCE.

But overshadowing this consideration is the pregnant fact that the location of the foundry in this city is indisputable proof that the Ohio river. long the Rubicon which has rolled be- tween the raw materials of the Birming- ham district and the great manufacturers Of the country, has been crossed, and will no more be barrier to the development of Birmingham as one of the greatest of the industrial cities of the United States

A MAMMOTH FOUNDRY.

In the meantime it is regarded in indus trial circles as an open secret that the Crane Company intends to erect upon the property very large foundry for the manufacture of valves of all sizes and other goods in it's lines. This, it is as- serted confidently, means the coming to Birmingham of some seven or eight hun dred skilled, high-priced artisans and a large office force. That IS 10 say. the population of Birmingham in all probabil- ity will be increased by at least two thou sand as the result of this development on the part of the company. That is very gratifying feature. but it is only one of a series connected with this transaction.

NO ROOM FOR FEAR.

The people of Birmingham need feel no apprehension as to the revision of the plumbing ordinance. Representatives of the real estate owners and agents have had full and free conferences with the Mayor and the plumbing inspector, and they are in position to assure the public that the ordinance is to be amended in the spirit of equity and progressiveness, bringing it up to the requirements of the city. There is no danger of the railroad ing of an obnoxious measure through the Board of Aldermen. The Mayor and the board are thoroughly agreed as to that

For instance, the transactions of the Realty Company for the month aggregate upward of s60oo0. and no small proportion of this amount represents sales of lots In Norwood. the companys beautiful residential addition on the North Highlands. The demand for home building property is constantly in- creasing, and may not reacn Its maximum for a couple of months yet. The real estate market is an infalIib1e reflector of general conditions, and it indicates that the first month of summer has ended with retail trade and industrial development increasing instead of diminishing.

THE PROBLEM WORKED OUT.

fes, the problem has been worked out Birmingham has entered upon the age of steel and the period when pig iron outp,,t will be cast into steel or worked into the finished product in the very shadows of the furnaces The Crane foundry is an earnest of this. and other developments which are expected to follow will empha- size 1t. There may be period of waiting before this industrial deveIopment as- sumes its largest and most important phase. Big steel mills and mammoth foundries are not built in a day But built they will be in the Birmingham district in constantly increasing numbers
