FORESEEs GREAT
COLD OUTPUT
ALASKA MINING MAN TELLS OF
WONDERFUL PROGRESS
John Hubbard Hughes Predicts Great
Future for the Tanana District.
Stories of Rigorous Climate
Exaggerated

THE growth and development of the
Tanana district Of Alaska as compared
to the Klondike regions will far out
rival the latter" said John Hubbard
Hughes, a we'll known mining man OF
Fairbanks, Alaska. yesterday afternoon
at the Westminster hotel.
Alaska as a whole will double its
production every year. The gold pro-
duction of the Bonnifeld, Kantishna,
Toklat and Tanana districts, which
comprise the region known as Tanana
will amount to from $13, 900, 900 to s15,-
100000 the coming year. These figures
do not mean the amount of stock that
Will be sold there for the development
OF the country, but the actual cash value
OF the gold production that will be
taken out
There is one feature about the min
ing business of Alaska that is rarely
found in any other mining camp. There
is not one dollars worth of stock on
the market. Money is not made in
Alaska in the brokerage business, but
represents spot cash for gold that is
taken out of the mines in the different
districts.
For the growth of the cities of
Alaska, Fairbanks today occupies first
place. In few years the population
has reached SOO0 with all the modern
improvements of municipalities.
Big Capitalists Interested
"A feature that makes Fairbanks a
model city is the heating of the build
lngs and residences by steam pipes
from central plant. The pipes extend
from the plant underground and come
into the buildings. There is less fire
risk in that mode of heating than any
other. Besides, the heating expenses
have peen cut down to bout one-half
of what they would be otherwise
Alaska to me is the field for legiti-
mate investment of capital. The kings
of finance that are represented in
Alaska are Guggenheim, Morgan. and
Henry Bratenober of London. These
men are annually increasing their
field of operations, and TO the mining
men in Alaska this is one of the best
omens. These fnanciers are every year
constructing new bitches from fifty to
eighty miles in length in order to start
placer mining plants
THE Alaska Yukon Pa cific fair which
is to be held in Seattle in 1909 will be a
great advertisement for Alaska There
will be exhibits from every portion Of
Alaska. The arrangements for this ex-
hibit are in the hands of an experienced
body of men, who are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the country.
The usual idea of the severity Of
the climate of Alaska is erroneous. The
majority of people that have gone up
there have not crossed the mountains
1t is on the other side of these that

ILL FORTUNE IS
BROKERS PORTION
UNAsLE TO TAKE STOCK AND
LOSES LARGE SUM
Orders $4,000 Shares of Johnnie Con.
solidated, Which Rises Next Day
Nearly Three Cents
Share

James R. Collins, until recently a
member of the Los Angeles stock ex-
change, has considera BILE reason to be-
lieve that he is in disfavor with the
blind goddess. Collins was crowded to
the wall three or four days ago because
he was unable to accept deliveries of
$4,000 shares of Johnnie Consolidated, a
Nevada mining stock. Yesterday the
stock had sharp rise, which not only
justified the position he had taken on
the buying side of the market, but
would have shown hisn profit of about
$500 had he been able to hold on to his
shares. Collins thus was twisted both
ways, for instead of being able to reap
this profit he is indebted to other mem
bers of the exchange between his con-
tract prices and the proceeds of the
sales of his stock under the rule" AT
present these differences are claimed to
be a first lien on his membership.
Buys Heavily
The stock exchange records show
Collins to have been a liberal buyer of
Johnnie Consolidated June II, accumu-
lating a line of $4,000 shares at prices
which averaged probably between 16
and II cents When the time for clear
ing this stock arrived the following day
Collins was not on hand, and fine of

but apparently made no effort to take
up his stock, for Wednesday morning
1t was announced that it would be sold
out for his account. Members of the
governing board stated after the call
that Collins Indebtedness to the other
members of the exchange because of
failure to make good his contracts
would amount to little less than $500.
and that this was fully covered by his
membership.
Since then Johnnie Consolidated has
shown considerable strength and while
the movement of prices was rather slow
until yesterday the tendency seemed to
be steadily toward a higher level Sat
urday sales were made at Is cents, and
the closing quotations for that day
were II Ia cents bid and 10 cents asked.
Stock in Demand
Yesterday morning when the stock was
reached on the call there was an eager
demand for the shares, and the open
ing sale was 1000 shares at 20k cents.
Later the price rose to 25 cents The
closing quotations, although somewhat
below the high point, were sharply
above the close for last Saturday.
The local market for the stock was
Influenced by higher quotations on it
reported from San Francisco. There
was some gossip to the effect that a
rich strike had been made, but definite
information on this point was lacking
here.

Adams. Mass. Aug. 16.-The four

closed for two weeks on account of the
strike of the weavers, re-opened their
gates for resumption of work this
morning in accordance with the an

II was partly because a considerable
numbers Of weavers left town during
the strike that the mills were not re-

the strike settlement. The strikers pre-

absent ones back to town so that all
