The ten stamp mill of the United States Alaska Tin Mining Company has been put up, but it will not be operated until next spring, by which time the management hopes to have out sufficient ore to keep the stamps running all summer.

Mary's Igloo May Be Isolated.


 w. G. Hahn, superintendent of con- struction of the Seward Peninsula Rail road Company, passed through Mary's Igloo en route to the Hot Springs Oct. II. He stated that the construction of the road was being pushed as rapidly as possible and that the line would be completed to Lanes Landing in seven or eight days. The road passes twelve miles distant from the Igloo, and there is little doubt that this place will be left altogether out of the line of travel. It is likely that the office of the recorder and deputy United States marshal will be moved to 4Avne's Landing next year.
 It was judged by the number of people passing the Igloo that there were very few left in the kougarok district, and everything was insufferably dull.

Judge Moore granted the request. Johnson then took the witness stand and stated that the testi mony he had given in regard to the per formance of the assessment work on the and that he knew 1t was false when he made the statement. He said it was the first time in his life he had been on the witness stand and he had not appre ciated the gravity of the situation. He also stated that when he made the afii davit for the injunction proceedings to the effect that the work had been done on the northwest corner of the claim he had informed Mr Gilmore, the attorney for the Scandia Mining Syndicate, that that particular statement was false, and that Mir. Gilmore had then told him he had better let it go at that and not say anything about it, but to stick to the statement made in the affidavit or he would get into very serious trouble.

PER FRONT FOOT
Chapman Property on
Main Brings
$4,000.

Johnson Bros. took up the option
they had on the Chapman property
yesterday and paid over the $4,000 OF
the purchase price. The property COM
prises a frontage of 100 feet on Main
street. lying directly east Of the Ma
sonic Temple and having a depth OF
something like 500 feet. 1t is one OF
the few tracts that has a frontage on
the Clearwater and trackage facilities
on both sides of the road.
The Messrs. Johnson were seen this
morning concerning their plans for the
development of the property. but say
that they have nothing definite in view
They bought the property because OF
it's splendid location and the fact that
it had facilities for trackage. and also
a fine river front.
Mr. Chapman will reside in the old
home for the present, but will construct
a new house on the hill and make his
residence there in the future.

all the help that we want. We shall
commence shipping in men from ever,
