THE DOW PROPERTIES.
Stephen r. Dow, Back in East, Tells
of Progress of Work,

Of Progress Of Work.
President Stephen r. Dow of the
Corbin Copper Company, the Franklin
Copper Mining Company, Indiana Min
ing Co. and the North Lake Mining
company, has just returned from a
visit to the various properties says the
Boston Financial News He says;
ION a request from the mine man
ager of the Corbin Copper company
for mining machinery, Superintendent
Edwards and | made visit to the
mine to see just what had been done
before any machinery orders were
placed The company shipped five
ton Works and found that it checked
up with our own assays, or an aver
age of from $40 to $50 per ton.
ION this finding we ordered the
Allis- Chalmers company to ship the
first unit of our concentration within
a month. This first unit will handle
between $50 and 200 tons of concen-
trates day. The ore handled at the
Butte Reduction Works shows that 1t
willUeoncentrate into /, and thus
with our own eoneentrator in opera
ton the smelling and shipping charges
will be, very low $3.50
For the present the ore will be
taken from the Dewey Tunnel, but the
Bonanza Tunnel win soon be under
the Dewey Tunnel 215 feet below it..
we have had ore all the way into the
Dewey Tunnel for a distance OF oyer
1000 feet and in the Bonanza Tunnel
for 500. feet5 with the values increas-
ing as depth was attained.
Where, the. Dewey Tunnel was
stopped the vein was 80 feet wide and
the hanging wall has not yet been
reached. These tunnels are sunk into
what is known as the North Lead,
which outcrops for distance of H.
GOO feet on the property"

North Lake and Indiana.
Mr.. Dow says of North Lake ana
Indiana: There is nothing particu-
larly new about the North Lake or
Indiana. The idea that neither of
these properties have struck anything
with the drills is erroneous In the
North Lake the drills have already
pierced two lodes. one IS feet thick ana
the other. TO- Whether or not ms
is the So called Lake lode we cannot
say; but biologists state that where
we struck these lodes it is too lar
north for the Lake lode. The loues
were the same distance apart as those

We are. therefore, duplicating the
drill work further south on both the
North Lake and the Indiana and If we
find the two lodcs again at greater
depth the only conclusion will be thal
both mines have the Lake lode, ana
shaft sinking will be Immediately

depth of 500 feet. The forthcoming
developments will be important in
their bearing, as it will be the first
examination of these belts at great
depth on this extensive tract.
From official sources we learn that
apart from the above. efforts at the
Keweenaw are largely confined to the
sinking of a shaft on what is firmly
believed to be the Kearsarge vein. a
depth of something over so feet has
been attained. in which the foot SIDE
of the formation carries copper for
thickness OF eight feet. The showing
is considered quite hopeful and such
as to warrant a continuance of sink

As through this vale of tears I tread, I notice many a curious thing. The crow that's squawking overhead would teach the robin how to sing tic mule will tell the racing mare just how to trot around the track; the man who hasn't any hair knows how to bring our ringlets back. The fan who couldn't throw ball with vim enough to hit a church when on the bleachers knows it all, and calls the pitcher from his perch. The loafer who has not a cent, who draws his rations from the town, knows all the curves of govern ment, and calls the house and B nate down. The blacksmith pauses long enough to tell the preacher how to preach: the grocer drops his prunes and stuff to teach the pedagogues to teach. The poet claws his wooden harp and fumbles with its broken string, until some life-in insurance sharp comes up and tells him how to sing. Some woes Of hfe would quickly fade and bores would be less thick, per baps, if every fellow knew his trade as well as he knows t'other chaps. Walt Mason,

Have you seen the salmon struggling up the Ketchikan river, tearing them selves on the cruel pointed rocks in the stream, as they strive to O bey the law of their destiny? And while watching them in the desperate fight for life, haven't you thought that the Great U. $. Government which derives thousands of dollars annually from the fish industries of Alaska, is a little mean in not providing some more humane way to protect one Of it's principal industries?
 These fish must get up the creek or die trying, and the United States could well afford to fix the creek at an expense Of $500 or 5000, if necess. ary. An order goes out from a so called Government source, forbidding tho gigging of fish, and prosecution to the fuiI extent of the law threatened for any violation of the same, while millions of food fish are being destroyed by the governments neglect to make right of way for them.

 Denver. Colo. Aug. 7-At a coming session of the American Mining Con- gress to be held at Goldfeld, Nev., in September, noted men in the nations industrial and political life will engage in discussion of the rela- iion of the value of silver to the adjustment of trade relations with silver using countries. and of giving to silver as money such extended use and stability of prices as will greatly reduce. if not entirely eliminate, the high margin of exchange oriental sil- yer must now pay for our gold.
 These phases of the silver ques- ton have no relation to the free silver doctrines so prominent in national politics in the nipeties. At that time American bankers and busi- ness men. so thoroughly ayerse to the use of silver in measuring values, sought to relegate all discussion of the silver question, but in the light of more recent years, when our trade is in such dire peril of being swept from the Orient, when manufactur- ing industries are being transported bodily to Asiatie countries where cheap silver purchases cheap labor, there arises an imminent necessity for such adjustment of trade relations as will enable the merchant supplying more than half the human race to buy American products on gold basis.
 The American Mining Congress is launching this movement with the feeling that America should be on the alert in the fight for commercial supremacy which is now centering around the Pacific. and i, is intended that the discussion of this question at its meeting will develop a memorial 10 be presented to the national Con- gress setting forth the necessity uf such adjustment as will remove this embargo upon American industries.

Crowds of people watch the fish in their desperate efforts to get up the stream, and nearly every one of the onlookers is heard to express pity for the poor fish showing that they are better than their boasted Govern ment.
 I suppose if any thing is done we wlll have to do it, and the writer would suggest that subscription be taken up for the purpose of helping the fish, and he will subscribe his, quota. Let some of our philanthropy. ists get to work. The fish commis- sioner, Mir. Cobb, deserves much credit for his endeavors to make it easy for the fish, but can not do it sirglehanded So in the absence of government appropriation, let us hustle to save the fish. Who will give dollar to this worthy object?

 On School Exhibit
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
 desire little space in your paper to say a few words relative to the awarding of the prize for the best A Alaska school exhibit. In an inter- view with a members of the awarding committee, I was informed that a school having twelve grades was taken as basis. This tact is also shown in the committees report to the Con- missioner. Such being the case Juneau, Nome and Fairbanks we're the only competitors and, since Nome and Fairbanks had little industrial work, Juneau came out with Flying coIors. And it is~ only from that basis that Juneau could get the prize. As the contest for the prize was to De open to all schools, it is nothing more than fair that the exhibits should have been judged from the standpoint of the best general exhibit irrespec- tive of the number of grades main- tained in school. And it was the business of the Alaska management to carry out the promises which they made. Whether the Alaska manage ment or the Committee IS to- blame in not following instructions is not for me to say. But somebody erred, and it vas the business of the management to have it corrected and not pass it of with the remark ''i am sorry it happencd''
 Respectfully yours. August Grimm. Prin. of Ketchikan Schools. Aug. f, 1909.

THE CITY AND VICINITY

The Rev. Dr. J. G. Bawn, of Christ Church, Philadelphia, preached the sermon in St. Johns Church last evening.
 Humboldt is expected about 6 a. ID. Wednesday morning south bound. They have reserved several berths for Ketchikan passengers.
 J. D. Stone, tramp printer and all-around worthless soak, was in town last night, lodging creditors and getting jagged. Juneau Tran script.
 Captain Thompson tells this oue on the tourists. He says they leave home with clean shirt and a five dollar bill, and never change either one of them until they get back. Mr. Harry A. Brown and Edmond Prenschoff of Ketchikan left on the steamer Dolphin of Seattle. They go from there direct to Oregon City, where Mr. Brown is head millwright in the big Willamette paper mills, and Mr. E. Prenschoff is torman of the grinder room.
 The Dolphin went south this morn- ing at four o'clock. She took the foi- lowing passengers from Ketchikan. Mir. and Mrs. J. NJ. Mcfarland who will go to Wenatchee springs for Mr. McFarland's health, A. R. Swan, il. A. Brown, k. Prulenshotf and Rev. Fr. Sweere.
 The customs officials have ruled upon the law protecting Kadiak brown i bear, that it applies to all species of brown bear in southeastern Alaska. Heretofore the brown bear has been considered but a freak coloring of the black bear and as such was not protec ted. Under the interpretation of the new law it will be unlawful to shoot them at the present time.
 Mr. Alex. Brindle is in from Chol- mondeley sound where he has heen prospecting for some time and has brought some specimens of ore which he hopes will show good values. He informs the Daily Miner that the wolves are killing off the deer in that vicinity and it is not an unusual sight to see the remains of deer in the woods where these brutes have been feeding. Last "Wednesday he saw a pack of twenty wolves running deer and it was only qeustion of short time until they would oyertake her.

Ready to Pour
 Millions into Alaska

for Alaska the Post lntelligencer last Tuesday puts the following.
 That extraordinary developments are under way for Alaska is declared by E. J. Edwards in syndicate arti- cle, which has been given a conspicu- ous place in a considerable number of Eastern newspapers of the highest class. Mir. Edwards was for many years financial writer for a great New York newspaper, constantly on Wall street and in intimate touch with the great 6nanciers of the coun- try. The article in question is entitled
 Yankee Leaders of the New Era of Expansion. and covers number of matters of worldwide value.
 Of the greatest local interest is that portion of the article having to do with the prospective development of Alaska in many different directions. h this article MT. Edwards throws some light n the present list of men high iu the financial world to Alaska. He says that by September there will be in interesting story to tell of the results of their investigations, and there will be work commenced having in view the development of Alaska in way undreamed of, even a few years ago. The Guggeuheims, the repre- sentatives of Baron Rothschild, and
 George w. Perkins, representing the Morgan group of capitalists, are now in Alaska to see with their own eyes and to confirm the reports''u their agents. The Guggeuheims are especi- ally interested in copper and coal: Mir. Perkins has in mind chiefly the railroad situation: while the Roth childs stand ready to pour millions of European capital into the territory of the investigations now under way are favorable to such a move.
 The opening of the great copper mines and still greater coal fields of lassa: the contraction of railroads which will aot only permit of the economical develoment of the proper ties, but by cheapening and facilita- ting transportation into the interior, will open the way for luther propect ing and developing of all of the resources of that great territory, are among the things which will be seen in the near future. The expenditure of millions. as is contemplated, in Alaska, means the creation of tens of millions of new wealth and the most wonderful expansion of Alaska and of the entire Pacific Northwest.
 Mir. Edwards speaks with authority and knowledge and the facts justify the predictions which he makes that the latter half of the year 1909 is to become traditional by reason of the expansion of American fpancial, industrial and commercial activities. The Pacific Northwest will share to the greatest extent in these activities.
