From Tuesdays Daily CHARLES GUzMAN RETURNS

Among the passengers on the Spokane this morning was our old friend and fellow-towns- men, Charles Guzman. Charley is now a full fledged mining man, and reports that the pro- perty in which he and many other Ketchikaners are inter- ested, the Indian mines at the head of Portland Canal, IS mak ing a creditable showing. In conversation with the Miner man this morning, he made the statement that he was expect ing mining men up to examine properties in thls region, and confidently expects a reawak- ening of the mining industry in the Ketchikan mining dis trict. This region needs more men of Mr. Guzman's stripe, and with them she would soon come into her own as one of the richest mineral belts on the Pacific coast.

She had gone to Thorn Arm after logs for the Beaver Falls mill, and struck such bad weather coming back with her tow that the raft was broken up and delay experienced in gath ering the logs together again.

FAIaBaNNS GoLD OUTPUT

The gold output or the Fair banks district for the year 1912 will exceed 5000, 900, accord ing 10 a careful compilation made of estimates furnished
 10 the Times by conservative business and financial men of Fairbanks. The output is very likely to exceed the estimate, for recent discoveries of pay made on various creeks in the district lead to that belief. The estimate is based on average conditions and is considered as extremely conservative. Should the water supply be above the average and the season be of more than the usual length 1t is probable that the output will be correspondingly larger. or the most interest to all, prob
 ably. is the estimate of the lode output Of the camp. Last year fl was placed at paltry S50,- 900. This year, if the majority of the five mills now on the creeks see their way clear to operate, it should exceed the quarter million mark with ease.
