Thos. A. Parker, a prominent min ing man of the Cook Inlet section, has been in Juneau for the past sev- eral days attending to some business matters, but nevertheless has found time to have look at the devolop- ment work now in progress in and around Juneau. He has tramped up all the gulches where work is in progress and has been able to get his Impressions from personal contact rather than from other sources.
 To an Empire representative he said: "Yes, I've been here about two weeks and during this time have visited the various mining properties under development,
 Tt is my candid opinion that Ju- neau, the old stamping grounds of the original Alaska sourdough, is on the eve of entering into a new era of life-one so changed from the pres ent that few of the minds of Juneau's citizens have but vague conception of 1t.
 q venture to say that by the end o another five years the boundaries of the city of Juneau will extend from the Shattuck saw mill along the shores of Gastineau channel to the power station at Salmon Creek
The Alaska daily empire., 1912-11-08

When the extensive development work now under way is finally completed and the gold bearing rock is being crushed by the thousands of tons daily this camp will be another Home stake Possibly 1t will become the rival of the great gold producing cen ter in South Africa.
 This town of Juneau, which has for such a long period of time re- mained stagnant will take on new life and vigor There will be new blood transferred into the municipal arteries and plenty of it; the little city will come out of this state of coma and start down the lane of prog. ress and prosperity which can only end with the building of a large, healthy municipality from the pres ent nucleus.
 "In this section the mining indus try is blessed with ample water pow CT and an equable climate. Electric ity will be the chief factor in carry ing on the mining industry which will insure a great saving in the matter of handling rock. This economic fac tor will permit the grinding of ore that otherwise would swell the waste pile or remain untouched in the cor rugated hills.

MAN PREDICTS
 BIG FUTURE FOR JUNEAU

"The development work as 1t has thus far speaks of the ability and energy of the men in charge and when completed will be a worthy monument to the engineer directing the physical and financial departments of the institutions.
 q have visited many water power sites from British Columbia to Cali fornia and of course have seen some of much greater magnitude than these, but none of them were better installed than these in the vicinity of Juneau.
 "Yes, l am an optimist. I am al- ways cheerful and hopeful when I contemplate Alaska's resources, es. pecially those 1 have come in con. tact with personally. Sometimes de- velopment work will cause an opti. mist's views to seek oblivion, but active physical work must be done to bring about the change.
 Ever hear of the Irishman who was working on the skeleton frame of sky.scraper? Well. he fell from a thirteenth floor girdle and as he was passing a fellow workman on the third floor he sang out: I'm alright yet. He was an optimist."
