A Douglas Mine

Under the caption, "Another Big Mining Deal" the Alaska Daily Elm pire prints the following:
 "The Jersey City group of claims on Douglas island were on last Saturday bonded to w. G. Stegman. of Juneau, representing Eastern capitalists. Ne gotiations for the transfer of this prop erty have been under way for the past month. During that time the property was thoroughly examined with very satisfactory results.
 Few people outside Of Douglas isl- and know of the Jersey City group, as the owners have quietly and patiently, but enthusiastically performed their as sessment woIk for he past seventeeu years with firm and abiding faith that sooner or later they would not have to seek purchaser, as the merits of the claims would bring him their way. That time has arrived and the Jersey City group might be said to have pass ed the prospect stage. The develop ment work done on these claims to date consists of shaft eighty feet, cross cut forty feet and drift twenty nine feet, all in pay ore.
 "The ore body differs somewhat from Treadwell though running parallel Co that great deposit, and being only oue- half mile distant. The formation is exactly the same as preadwell, being q contact ledge between slate and green stone, but the Jersey City carries it's greatest values in free gold. Some of the richest specimens ever found in Alaska quartz were taken out of the drift last summer.
 "The Jersey City group was located in 1896 by James. Mitchell, Joe McComb and 'Cordwood Jim.' The present own CTS are M. J. O'Connor and Jas. Mitch ell, of Douglas; S. Zenger and Wm. Meyer, of Juneau.
 "According to the terms of the bond active development work must begin on May 1, and the day is not far distant when Douglas island will have another producing mine.
 "The papers transferring the proper. ty were signed Saturday and the deed is held in escrow by the First National bank of Juneau, to be delivered to its rightful owners on Novembe Der 30, 1913"

The existence of several cases of scarlatina in Douglas has been known for some time, but it was hoped that the exercise of a little caution would prevent it's spread. However, when it was found that still other cases were developing, it was decided to close the schools and take other steps necessary to stamp it out. Acting on this deter imitation all places where the disease was known to exist were immediately quarantined It is hoped that the methods adopted will be entirely effec- tive. One of the peculiarities of the scarlatina is that one never knows how it will act. Usually it is children's disease, yet three adults have so far been afflicted in Douglas, and their cases have been severe. On the other hand several children have escaped with very light form. 1t must be re- mem bered that the disease is very con- tagious in any form. However, it is the mild cases that are most deceptive. One physician in Douglas insists that his patients are not afflicted with the disease, although they still show the rash and the scales. Most people are 10th to believe that this one practitioner is right and all the rest of the medical men ofthe community arc wrong. At any rate We have 1t with us, whatever it is, aud all good citizens, be they doc. tors or what not, will bend their best energies to the effort to control 1t.

The Fire Meeting

The regular monthly meeting of the fire department at A. l.. U. hall last Saturday night brought out the usual large crowd. While all who attended were not firemen, their presence showed that they were interested in the sub- ject, and, should the necessity demand, would be ready and willing to aid in the protection of property, Among those present were number of the members of the Treadwell department, who were most interested spectators during the discussion of fire fighting methods. When we realize that the two departments are often called into action at the same time by fires that threaten both Treadwell and Douglas, we understand the close relation be- tween the two organizations and the need of perfect mutual understand ing. In fact, it appears to the writer that consultation now and then be- tween the heads of the two depart ments would be beneficial to both.
 After the close of the meeting the entertainment committee provided a picture show at the Lyric and lunch.

With the approach of the holidays many Skagwayans will send photo graphic views of Alaska scenes to their friends in the states. Let us advise all who intend doing so, to taboo the gla- ciers and Eskimos and totem poles, and instead send pictures of the mountains covered with flowers or the waters sparkling in the green foliage. A gla- eier is not representative of Alaska. For every snow drop that falls in this northland there are million blossoms. One of the prettiest presents that could be sent as a remembrance to friend is a view of the display at the Skagway horticultural exhibit.-Alaskan.

A Juneau editorial writer contends that the missionaries of Alaska have made terrible mistake, they are of their trolley. Instead of teaching the bright and budding natives the Chris. tian religion and the shorter catechism, they should be taught the thrilling in, tricacies of the civilized dance, which, we suppose, includes the whole gamut from the sedate waltz to the bewilder, ing thrill of the Texas Tommy.

PEAT PLENTEOUS ABOUT BOSTON

This month people begin talking
about the rise in coal, says the Bos-
ton Transcript, but former State ge-
olOgists have said there is peat
enough in Eastern Massachusetts to
supply fuel for all the manufactures
and households for a century, with
out II ton Of coal. Evidently it is
a strain on the Boston mind to be-
licvc that you can go out to Hyde
Park, say, and dig peat with a trowel,
nifty feet from the trolley line, fetch
it home In a newspaper, dry it on the
extension root for a fortnight and set

A GIRL FIRED THE HOTEL.
COnfcSscS that She Committed Deed
for Love of Excitement.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 7.-Barbara
Gladys Arnold, an 1S-year-old nurse
girl, was arrested Wednesday and
charged with having set fire last Fri
day night to the Berlin Hotel, in
which three persons lost their lives.
According to the police she confessed
that she started the fire for the "lovc
OF excitement"
Her arrest followed the discovery
OF a fire in the Widemere Hotel early
to-day. Her employer, Rev. w. j.
Williamson, had moved his family
and the girl to the Widemerc after
the Berlin Hotel was destroyed.
The girl said, according to the po-
lice, hat she fired the Berlin by scat
tering papers through the halls Of
the second and third floors and ig-
hitting them.
The girl later made a written con-
fession in which she said her name
was Barbara Gladys Arnold. She
confessed hat she started a fire in
the Widemere by throwing a lighted
towel over the transom of her room.
The flame was extinguished by Mrs.
Williamson, whose husband later
called the police.

q great liking to her mistress young
son, for whom she had made several

4. Verse 2S-Why did the people
think Jesus was either John, Elijah
or n Of the prophets? (See Matt.
XIV:2.)
g.. In view Of the fact that prior
this they had been saying he was the
Christ, why were they not now say
ing SO? (See John I:41; IV:42;

himself as the Christ, and why did
he refuse to let them make him king?
(See John VI:15.)
Z. If Jesus at this time was not
fulfilling the national expectations of
the people concerning the Messiah
what effect would that have upon the
