TREADWELL TOPICS.

The Cottage City brought 100 tons of freight for the Treadwell Company. Twenty-one Slavonians departed for the Panama, via Skagway, on last Mondays northbound trip of the Cot tage City.
 Fred Tatom, of the Mexican Mine, will leave on the next boat for a short visit to the Sound.
 MT. and Mrs. c. E. Bennett are now installed in their new home on Mob Hill.
 A most delightful afternoon was spent at the home of Mrs. D. L. Rood, on Saturday last, by fourteen lady friends of the hostess. Cards were the order of the day, "5OO" being the game played. Being Inauguration Day, the decorations and score cards were ap- propriate to the occasion.
 Treadwell Heights can now boast of "Crow's Nest" and a "Dog House" '" Both being the abode of young, hand some and unmarried gentlemen, the choice of names certainly speaks vol tunes for the modest unassuming na- lures of their inmates.
 The work on the new compressor is advancing rapidly and will be complet- ed soon. The new hoist which was in- stalled some weeks ago has worked like charm from the first moment of it's starting. The four salt water pumps which were recently put in, one at the Ready Bullion, one at the Mexican, and two at the Treadwell mine, for protec tion in case of fire, are now ready for use at a moments notice should an emergency arise.
 Theaccidental death of Wm. Rattray, on last Thursday morning, was decid- ed shock to his friends and acquaint ances. It is supposed that misstep in the dark resulting in fall from the high trestle near the Mexican boarding house was the cause of death, The de- ceased had been for several years past employed at the Ready Bullion, was a native of Scotland, 55 years of age and unmarried.
 The ladies are taking advantage of the regular Friday afternoon bargain sales of the Treadwell Store.
 AT THE CLUB
 A silver cup has been sent for, which is to be awarded as a trophy to the most successful bowling team in a series of games which will be played shortly. Meanwhile, neat cabinet has been made to hold the new cup, the one already at the Treadwell alleys, and any others which may happen to come that way. The Chinooks at pres sent hold the cup, which is the same that was cast at the Foundry more than year ago, and won by the Takus from the Cyclones of Juneau, who had held it meanwhile. It was won by the Chinooks last week from the Takus, and will doubtless be the occasion of numerous other friendly contests.
 The third game between the Cyclones of Juneau and the Terrible Treadwell Takus, which was played last Saturday night on the Treadwell alleys, was closely contested but was finally won by the Takus with six pins to spare. That makes two out of three for the "amateurs". After the game the Takus paid the price of their defeat in the second game by treating the Juneau team to supper at the Palm Garden.
 Several other games are booked for the near future. Among others, Chin ooks vs. Windjammers, and Windjam- mers vs. the store team, so far name less. Also, the defeated Gaggers from the Foundry will atone for their poor judgement in challenging the Wind tanners, by standing a supper. for the crowd. This interesting event will probably take place Thursday evening. Some good eating is anticipated.
 Glass doors have been placed at the entrances to the library, which add to the appearance of the room. The books, about 500 in mum Der, are now unpack- ed and arranged on the shelves and will be ready for use very shortly. They are we'll selected, covering wide range of subjects, and should be the source of much pleasure and benefit to the community.
 The bathrooms can scarcely accom-
