erations in the Juneau district.
The copper river region has been
a focal point of interest because Of
plans for reaching it by rail from the
Pacific tidewater It's ores are sui
phides with native copper.
The Klondyke gold fields now pro-
duce about $10.000.000 worth of gold
annually. and are. of course, in Ca
ltadian territory. The Fairbanks dis
triot IS, from the staudDoit OF pro-
duction. the most important Of the
inland districts, with an annual out
put OF about 100000. Gold grav-
els lie at considerable depth, vary
ing from 20 to 800 feet
The Seward peninsula. since its
gold discovery in 1898, has produced
$40, 900 worth of gold. Lode de-
posits including gold, copper, anti
mony and galena have been discov-
cred in various proportions on the
peninsula.
Though the coal fields of Alaska
lie only % miles from the coast,
the Pacific seaboard offers no good
harbors. Plans are on foot for the
construction of breaiwaters near Ka-
talla which it is proposed to connect
by railroad with the coal fields. An
other plan is to construct a line from
Cordova hay, which means 90 miles
of track. The coal of Alaska is high
er in fuel value than any other west
of the Rocky mountains
DR.. Brooks then discussed placer
mining. He declared that in the pla-
Ger mines of Fairbanks, where
wages are Sc to $40 a day, only the
richest could be operated. He de-
scribed the various methods of pla-
Ger mining at length, Including
dredge mining, and exhibited many
photographs. He declared that Alas
ka mining was being hampered by
expensive transportation; that rail-
roads We're few, and that the river
shipping seasons were necessarily
short. He declared that mining
would be almost impossible We're the
claims not very rich.
"As matter of fact there are very
extensive areas of auriferous alluvi-
um which cannot-now be handled at
a profit because of the high cost of
operation. This can be reduced by
the introduction of machinery and
skilled engineers sadly lacking in
most Alaskan mining enterprises
But for any material reduction it will
be necessary to establish systems of
transportation. Those who are fa-
miliar with the mineral resources of
Alaska give them a right to an opin-
ion that there is a large field for
mining which can only be developed
by the construction of railroad
from the seaboard to the Yukon ba-
sin
The time will come when we will
have several trunk lines, with many
branches, making all the mineral

Martin insisted that he wanted to re-
turn home. but he was finally persuaded
to enter the small craft and row about
one-half a mile north of Benning bridge.
The three men prepared to take a swim
and were soon overheard. Martin. who
was a good swimmer. managed TO cross
the branch and return. He was some
what fatigued. but his condition was not
such that it was necessary for him to be
assisted. and he was in a jOvial MOOD
when he returned to the boat.
Just after he entered the boat. 1t Is
stated. the small craft careened, and the
three men were thrown into the water.
Pickwell and Nickens succeeded in saving
themselves, but Martin. who was ex-
hausted. was not so fortunate. He was
soon beneath the surface of the water
for the last time and Pickwell and Nick
ems were unable to find HIM. The two
returned to the bridge and told police
man Of what had occurred. The harbor
precinct was notified and several of the
crew of the police boat were soon drag
ging for the body. Night came on with
out tho body being found and the search
had to be abandoned until this morning

fight in instaIlments yesterday evening at

The trouble first began by Marshall re-
Senting what he termed ''intimidating in

nue. address. A fight followed. in which

MADE MARBLE STATUES.
Allegorical Statues for Municipal
Building Constructed by Bairstow.

oOlAO1uS OOuSLIuCLcu ny odAISIOW.
The marble figures around the top of
the Municipal building are the product of
the skill and ingenuity of Ernest Barr
stow. whose shop, in the rear of 1913 18th
street northwest, is one Of the oldest and
most delightful of odd corners in the
city
Mr. Bairstow says he does not believe
in the widespread thirteen superstition
and laughingly points at the triple bad
luck number of his street address and
the good fortune he had in securing tn.
contract for the marble figures on the
top of the new building.
The various figures represent sculpture.
painting. architecture, music, commerce.
engineering. agriculture and statesman
ship. The group above the entrance to
the building represents law and justice
An American eagle surrounding the coat
of arms of the District of Columbia COM
pletes the group.
Contrary to many rumors. Mr.. Bair-
stow states that the figures were designed
street workshop. The modelling was
done by an employe A. Denesti- A full
size model in clay was made, using a
species of modelling clay from Genoa
which never gets hard. Then plaster
cast was made and taken to the build
ing. where the marble cutting began.
With the carving of these figures, COM
pressed air as motive power for sculp-
tors tools was first used in the city. Mr..
Bairstow states that the work was diff
ficult and that he was warned by other
artists in his line that he would be bank
rupt before he was through with it.
However. by constant attention to the
details of the work he has come through
successfully from every point of view.
The contract for the figures was given
out by Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
Nj. Shaw. who at that time was chairman
of the Municipal building committee. This
was somewhat different from the ordi-
nary procedure of subcontracting through
the builder

not go into commission this season as
was expected, but will probably be al
lowed to remain here until next spring
The coast survey has plenty of work
for her to do. and would have her IN
service on survey work on the coast il
officers could be had for her.
The great increase in the amount OF
work done by the coast and geodetic serv'
ice froce in this country and in the
Philippines and Porto Rico has necessi
tated the detail of many officers upor
special duty and has used up all officers
available for duty on the old ship.
She will be left here with only a ship
keeper aboard.
The coast survey service steamer Pat
terson has returned to Kodiak. Alaska
. from Dutch HarbOr where she placed in

months on work on the Alaskan coast
making surveys and gathering Informal

completed the work The surveys were
made by launch party under the charge

OF THE HIGHEST GRADE.
James Nolan & Sons Furnished Won
derful Vitreous Porcelain.

Speaking Of the plumbing in the Mu-
nicipal building. Mr.. Walter D. Nolan of
the firm of James Nolan & Sons said that
while the contract was not one that would
be remarkable among the plumbing fra
ternity, the work and installation as per-
formed by his men were of exceptionally
high order. The material and some of the
fixtures are similar to those installed In
the Metropolitan Club and the Treasury
building.
No marble has been used in the basins,
etc A viterous porcelain OF remarkable
strength has been used throughout. This
was chosen on account of its impervious1
ness. 1t was said by Mr.. Nolan that one
of the men employed by a soap dish con-
Germ worked four days trying to drill a
hole through one of the basins and sue
ceeded in getting only half inch be-
meath the surface. Mr.. Nolan has sam
been pounding at odd times with piece
of iron pipe with apparently no effect on
the porcelain. This shows the character
and strength of the material.
These basins were first seen at the
Paris exposition. and since that time have
been used by plumbers in all work Of
the highest grade.
There are a number of shower baths
throughout the building. The shower
stalls are of marble and are six and a
half feet high by three feet two inches
square. They are equipped with five-inch
rain showers and the bather can adjust
the temperature OF the water. One good
feature is the equipment of non-scalding
valves. The drip of hot water does not
fall on the supply valve. so that the wa
ter can be regulated without fear of scald-
ing the hands.
