Another Milestone

Yesterday was John Feusi's birthday. John usually celebrates his birthday in royal and ancient style, but for time t looked as though thisone would pass without special demonstration. How ever, Mrs. Feusi bad quietly invited the city council, Clerk Henson and Deputy 3. s. Marshal McMillan. and promptly at 9 o'clock they came tramping up the stairs at the Feusi home, where they found Jobn quietly entertaining Mir. John Beck, of Juneau. John declared that he knew it all the time. but ap aeared we'll pleased just the same.
 After a couple of hours at the card tables the guests were ushered into, the ohe diningroon, where they were served with splendid banquet, which includ- sd,a nun Der o&luscious German dishes. Meanwhile the Feusi girls rendered a number of selections on the piano.
 After singing a. .few songs andextend., ing to Mir. Feusi their best wishes and congratulations, the guests departed to their homes.

The Last Chance

On August 1st the chimney ordinance of the town of Douglas will be in force. Only few days remain in which to comply with the law, if you have not already done so~ All those who wish Do show their neighbors that they are good citizens viu have their houses fitted with brick or concrete chimueys by the first Those who wish to defy the law, and have no regard for the safety of sheis own property OF that of their neighb bors will fail to do so. Of She latter class We hope there will be none. If there are, the people will draw sheir own conclusions. There will be trouble, for the city council is deter mined that the. town shall have this safeguard and that thare shall be no exceptions.

A New Find

Dr. M. Damourette and associates have located large number of claims at the north, eDd of Douglas Island, near the bar. Many Juneau people and few from Douglas have stam- peded to the spot and made locations. The deposit found there is gravel, which, it is said, carries values to the extent of about a dollar g ton. Below the gravel is found sort of concen- trate which is richer. Some people have become very much excited over the matter.
 It has often happened that rich placer deposits and quartz leads are passed by unnoticed for years and then some man comes along and reaps fortune. 1t may be that the north end of Doug Las island will prove as rich in gold as the end toward the south. Who can Sell? There are people here who turn up their nose.at the, suggestion, but it is strange trnism that "gold is where you find it."
