GaIena Bay Mine

from the States on the Saratoga. on being asked wha; 'hc Galena ? Bay Mining Co. wou'Tt' 4o the com ing season said:
 ''We will build dam for power purposes and with turbine wheel will run 40 kilowat dynamo for generating power, which will be transmitted to the mines II 1.O0O feet from the dam and there two motors will be run for the com presaor and other purposes. The electrical machinery Is of the Stanley make, the compressor drills, etc, are the Sul ivan make. and 17,OOO feet of double cable tran for transmission of ore from the mine to the bay, will be from 4. Leschenor & Sons, of St. Louis. Mo. make
 We will construct wharfage, bunKers, etc.. on which work IS to commence at once and be pushed as rapidly as the weather will per init. The goods, some 200 tons, are a!l purchased and are on the way from Ohio, Mass, Chicago and St. Louis.
 The feeling among mining men and investors is good regarding Alaska. It is no trouble HOW to convince people that Alaska is good for something and Sound properties are coming to the front. Moneyed men want to see the pros poets opened up and put in shape to ship ore. Producers are what they are after, wild cats don't take good. The Sound is all right and has q great future and people will have lots of time to open Sound properties before railroad reaches the interior.
 ''In my judgment no ore will be shipped from the inside copper belt before 1909 and I will give $500 to the best hospital on the Sound if there is one train load of copper brought out from the kOt- sina copper belt or beyond there before January 1909, and l hope 1 will have to put up.
 "The Galena Bay Mining Co. now owns 70 per cent of the stock of the Chittvna Exploration Co., this takes inthe Nicholai group, and the Warner X Mcclellan claims on Rock Creek, Kotsina, all patented. They also own the Mullen on Copper Creek. Alto gether they own B claims incIud- ing the big Copper Nugget on Nugget Creek, which will be brought out for tbe Alaska Yukon fair"

FEDERATION CONVENTION.
Call Issued for Twenty-Seventh An

Call Issued for Twenty-Seventh An
nuaI Meeting of A. r. of L.
The official call has been issued
for the twenty-seventh annual conven-
ton OF the American Federation OF
Labor. which will be held at Norfolk.
Va, beginning November II. Each
central labor union is entitled to one
delegate.
Lincoln could secure the 1908 meet
ing of the American Federation of
Labor if it made a good fight for it.
From commercial standpoint it
would be the best convention ever
held in the city. 1t would bring from
700 to 1000 delegates and visitors
most of whom would remain from ten
days to two weeks. The expense OF
making a campaign to secure the con-
vention would be insignificant, and
| the expense of entertaining the con
vention would be comparatively small
| Committee rooms and the use OF a
hall for meeting purpose would be
| practically all the expense.
If the Commercial Club really wants
to Build up Lincoln it ought to take
steps towards securing this conven
| ton, which would advertise Lincoln
better than any dozen other conyen
tons ever advertised it.
What say you, gentlemen OF the
| Commercial Club?
