STARTS IT
Big Silver Basin Tunnel
 BoginS

The big tunnel from GastineauN channel on Juneau's water front under the mountain back of that place to Silver Bow basin, that has been dreamed about for so many years by the citizens of "The Hub," is now under way. It is being driven by the Alaska Perseverance Company, which decided upon that method of working it's basin properties instead of building a railroad up the basin road and erect ing it's stamp mills in the basin itself The work on the tunnel began last Monday.
 The purpose of the Alaska Perser- verence Company is to haul all it's ore from it's great properties back oi Juneau through this tunnel to the water front where immense stamp mills will be erected. It is expected, also, .that the tunnel will uncover many great de- posts of ore that:are now covered.
 The tunnel will be constructed at a level 200 feet above the seq. It will be nine feet square as to size and 5000 feet long. It will be driven at the rate oi l5 feet a day, taking two years to com pIete the work. The tunnel and mills will cost sI,OOO,O 900. Electric power will be used in transporting the ore.

The Pack Pedler's Rise.

Few people Of the cities are acquainted
with the country cousin OF the pushcart
pedler. Nevertheless. the pushcart men
have counterparts who cnn be found in
almost any part Of the country at almost
any season Of the year
The country type is known az the pack
peddler. He invariably begins businesswith
pack. which he carries by me; ms II strong
leather straps on his back. He il almost
always a Russian or a German Hebrew
He comes over TO America just as do his
city brothers, because he has friends or
relatives who have come before him and
have sent back reports OF their success
Landing in New York with $50 or SIS IN
his pocket he starts out by purchasing
dozen neckties, a dozen towels, a dozen
shirts, &c. at some cheap shop.
Then, crowding his little stock into
canvas telescope bag or an oilcloth sack,
he leaves the city and plods YEARLY along
country roads. He stops at every farm
house, and Is seldom turned away.
These farmer folk cannot easily under
stand him and rather enjoy his curious
language and the hint OF far on Eastern
lands that they associate with his person.
Sometimes, II Is true, he receives cold
treatment, but not often. Even IL the
farmer : wife doesn't intend 10 buy any
thing she likes TO hear his stories. and
probably before he leaves will offer him
something 10 eat,
II he once gets inside house he usually
succeeds In selling something, even though

One hundred thousand circulars bear
ing Crandalls picture were sent broad

for knowledge OF his whereabouts. This
was increased to 5000. Circulars were
sent to every Masonic, A. o. t. W. and
Royal Templar lodge on the Pacific Coast
including the British possessions and
Hawaii
Il was astonishing the number OF Gran
dals that were found. For ak years the
search continued. Men were arrested in
various parts of the country.
In the spring Of 1892 Mr.. Tiffany received
a telegram from Los Angeles, Cal. signed
by Mrs. NJ. Roland. asking il Crandall was
still wanted, and II the offered reward
held good, Clues were given by Mrs.
Roland that led to Crandalrs arrest near
Los Angeles, and he was brought East to
Buffalo He was never convicted. Rela-
tives paid his way back to California, where
he entered an old soldiers home.
