foot level was extended to explore the south ore body exposed on the surface. At this level it was found to be separ ated from the middle ore body by 12 feet of slate country rock, but it's lateral dimensions have not yet been determined. The ore mined was from the l,20O foot, 1,300-foot and l,5OO levels.
 The production statistics for 1908 from these mines show an output of 1867 ,92O tons, yielding S2,999,420, or an average of SPIT per ton.
 GOLD CREEK MINES
 There are three large lode mines on Gold creek--the Perseverance, Alaska Juneau and Ebner. These properties are all located along the same mineral zone which has been described in detail in previous report.
 Considerable progress was made at the Perseverance mine this year, though operations were handicapped by lack of sufficient power. Development work was carried on throughout the year, and the main ore body was opened at the tunnel level for length of l,5C0 feet, it's width varying from 60 to 100 feet. Twenty-Five feet above this level the intermediate level, from which stopes are being started, has been ex- tended over length of 400 feet, and chutes have been driven at intervals of 20 feet to connect with the tunnel level. The 1OO-stamp mill on the property was started on June 1 and was operated continuously until the end of October. The mine developments will be con. tinued throughout the winter, and loo additional stamps are to be added to the mill.
 At the Alaska-Juneau mine mining was renewed the last of June and con. ftinued until the middle of October During this period 35 men were em- ployed and the 30 stamp mill on the property was in continuous operation. The ore milled was derived principally from the open pits, aud the mine deVel- opment consisted in extending raise from the upper-pit tunnel to connect with the upper pit. The output was about the same as for 1907.
 Operations at the Ebner mine were suspended throughout the year pend ing a sale of the property.
 At-the Hallum group of claims, ad- joining the Ebner mine on the north west, surface explorations were in progress during the summer, and en- couraging results are reported.
 Placer mining was in progress in Silver Bow basin for several weeks early in the summer, but lack of equipment prevented extensive opera tions and little was accomplished.
 MINES NORTH OF JUNEAU
 The principal mining operations along the mineral zone extending from Juneau to Berners bay were at the Eagle River mine, where developments were carried on throughout the year. The ore body that is being mined is well-defned quartz vein inclosed in the slates and locally enriched by ore shoots. This vein is displaced by faults which have caused much difficulty in it's exploration. The underground workings were extended on the four tunnel levels through the main fault, which includes width of 50 to 100 feet of crushed material, and the ore body was located. About 50 feet beyond the

 MINES ON DOUGLAS ISLAND
 The only mining operations in prog ress on Douglas Island during the year were at the Treadwell group. These mines are so we'll known that only brief mention of the developments will be made. One of the principal features of economic interest has been the in crease in the power producing facilities and the reduction in the cost of power. Last year oil was introduced Iu place of coal, and this year considerable re- duction of expense is reported because this change of fuel. The amount of water power has been increased during the year by the completion of new 72- foot dam across the basin at the head of Fish creek, and another 60-foot dam at an elevation of 1,2O0 feet on Ready Bullion creek is nearly completed. These storage basins will add consider ably to the present water supply dur ing the winter months. A much greater engineering problem is the develop ment of the water power from Lake Turner on the east side of Taku inlet, which is being undertaken by the Treadwell Mining companies. Lake Turner is 79 miles long, averages half a mile in width, and in places exceeds 100 feet in depth. With the completion of dam at the mouth of the lake an elevation of 65 feet above tide water will be obtained, and it is estimated that 10000 horsepower can be developed throughout the year. The transmission of this electric power across Jaku inlet will require a cable span of 21a miles, and thence it is distance of Is miles to Treadwell.
 The Treadwell mine has been opened largely on the 1,45O-foot level, which will be used as base level for deeper exploration, and to which the Seven Hundred Foot and Mexican shafts will be extended. Below this level the shafts will be inclined to follow the dip of the ore body. The ore mined during the year was principally from the 900 foot and 1,O5O-foot levels, and to some extent from the 6OO-foot, 75O-foot and 1,25O-foot levels.
 On the Seven Hundred Foot claim the 10O-stamp mill was reconstructed and put in operation early in February. A new shaft house was built, the shaft was extended to the 1,450 foot level, and the 1,25O foot level was partly de veloped. The ore mined was derived mainly from the 8S0-foot and 99O-foot levels.
 The main developments at the Mexi- can mine consist of the extension of the shaft which will eventually be con- nected with the 1, 1,45O-foot level of the Treadwell mine. Work was continued on the 1,lOo-foot level, and the ore ex- tracted was principally from the 770 foot, Ss0-foot and 990-foot levels.
 At the Ready Bullion mine the 1,50o- foot level was opened and develop ments were nearly completed. The 75o-

main fault second displacement was encountered with about 6 inches of gouge along the fault plane, and fur ther explorations on the first, second and third levels opened the vein de- posits, which had apparently been dis placed about 70 feet to the north. Most of the ore mined was derived from the upper workings above tunnel No. l. The 2O-stamp mill was run to it's full capacity during the year, except dur ing the winter months, when only ) stamps could be operated because of a lack of water for power purposes. This difficulty, however, has been partly eliminated by the building of Hume to creek near Eagle glacier, from which it is believed sufficient water supply will be obtained to give ample power during the winter months.
 To the north of Eagle river, at Yankee basin, crew of men was employed during the summer to develop the Div idend and adjoining claims. The cross cut tunnel on the Dividend claim is 1,170 feet in length, intersecting the lode at point 900 feet from it's mouth at depth of $50 feet. From this tun- mel a drift has been extended for 260 feet to the southeast along the ore body and considerable ore was thus devel- oped. On the Black Chief group the Gold Pan vein has been developed by d crosscut 90 feet long intersecting the vein at depth of l6 feet and by a P, foot drift along the vein. In the creek, l5O feet below this tunnel, second vein from 2 to feet wide has been partly developed. On the 5. c. claim, to the south of the Black Chief, 100 foot tunnel and 100 feet of crosscutting have been completed and weIl-detined quartz vein has been developed. On the other properties within this area assess ment work is said to have been done, and on some of them small amount of development work was done.
 At Echo inlet several men. were em- ployed to explore the Gold Standard group of claims, and considerable progress was reported.
 The Jualin mine, the only property in the Berners bay area where mining was done during the year, was worked under lease by small crew during the winter aud spring months. Early in the summer, however, these opera tions were suspended, and the property has since been idle.
 On the numerous prospects on Sal mon creek, McGinnis creek, Montana basin, Peterson creek and Windfall creek work has been carried on princi- pally by the owners, and only in few places have the developments been in excess of the annual assessment re- quirements.
 MINES SOUTH OF JUNEAU
 The mines south of Juneau have been inactive during the year, except the Crystal mine, at Port Snettisham, where work was resumed in April and 10 men were employed until November. During this period developments were extended from the upper level toward the surface of the Crystal vein, which varies from IS inches to 5 feet in width, and considerable ore was stopped out. On the southeast end of,the Daisy Bell claim the vein was stripped along the surface for 200 feet, tramway was built to the mill, and small amount of ore was mined. The 5-stamp mill

WALTER o. cowLEs

Captain Walter c. Cowles of the United States navy, was born in Con. necticut, July II, 1853, and received his early education in the public schools of that state. In 1873 he graduated from the naval academy at Annapolis and during the several years that fol lowed he served on the old Trenton and the Kearsarge. In 1897 he was on the Marblehead and the next year, dur ing the war with Spain, he served as member of the equipment bureau. His first command was that of the gun boat Petrel, in 1899. The following year he was appointed ordnance officer at Cavite and then came two years of service on the cruiser Brooklyn. In l9056 he commanded the cruiser Rain bow and during the cruise of the bat tleship fleet around the world Captain Cowles was in command of the Ken lucky.

 The loss occasioned by the fire which destroyed the concrete works of Jult Maurel, early yesterday morning, will also be adjusted by MT. Cole. Local Conditions Bad
 MT. Cole intimated to the Silver Belt that the constant recurrence of appar- ently incendiary fires in this city was causing the insurance companies no lit. tie worry and that something would have to be done at once to put stop to the loss.
 As to what steps would be taken, he did not go into details. That the different companies are preparing to take some definite action in the mat ter, however, bodes i'll for the fire bug who has been applying the torch to so many buildings in this city, within the past few weeks.
 As to the cause of the fires, Mir. Cole is of the opinion that as rule, the work has been done by some one who is sufficiently demented to fire the buildings, either through spirit of revenge or simply through an insane desire to witness conflagration.

In some cases the assessments have been raised and in other cases a cut has been made. On the whole, how ever, when the board takes final action in this matter, at session which con venes August Is, it is probable that an increase will be shown over the fig ures of Clerk Wentworth.
