MINE OPERATOR
 AFTER WHITE PASS

'I am glad to note that the United States has determined to cancel the old Bracket wagon road franchise, owned by the White Pass railroad com pany, with the idea of building a road to the boundary line If this is done British Columbia and Yukon Territory will build connecting roads that will provide an uninterrupted highway from Skagway to the interior which cannot be monopolized." said Capt. James Alexander at his apartments in the Hotel Caine yesterday.
 The tendency of the White Pass transportation people is to stifle all industry and prohibit the development of the country which would provide it with rich revenues if allowed a chance" is the opinion of Capt. Al eXander. Capt. Alexander is the own CT of the famous Engineer mine and Engineer group of mining claims. This group of claims contains a very large mineral belt, he says, some of which is low grade that he cannot work nor develop owing to the excessive freight rates.
 We have had enough development work done, however, to demonstrate the value of the property. During the past summer we employed 25 to 50 men throughout the season prosecut- ing development work and in mining and milling the rich telluride ores on a portion of the properties This high grade ore comes from small veins ? to feet in width and is transported from the mine to the little 2-stamp mill on Taku Arm of Lake Bonnet. The output of this little mill averaged 100 ounces of amalgum every day it was in operation during the past sea son. The telluride vein is shot full of gold much of it being visible with out the aid of a glass This vein has been stripped for a distance of 14O0 feet and has been tapped at two points 75 and 150 feet from the apex.
 The low grade vein is from 50 to 15O feet in width and has had con siderabls development work done on it, but it is out of the question to mine and mill the ore under present trans portatiOn conditions. If this low grade ore could be worked it would mean the employment of a large force of men and result in increased business for everyone. Other low grade ore properties would take on new life were feright rates reasonable.
 The season for those who operate in the country this year, has been very successful. ODonnen creek. the new strike on which J. M Ruffner has been operating during the season, has turned out good. T. NJ. Daulton and company, operating on Ruby, have had the best season since they have been in the country. Altogether the out look is quite favorable The only complaint we have is on account of the excessive freight rates of the White Pass and Yukon"

VOLCANIC ASH PROVES
 VALUABLE FERTILIZER

Especial to The Daily Empire.)

Special to The Daily Empire)
 KODIAK D. Snodgrass. super intendent Of the experimental station has demonstrated the fact that the vol canic ash from Katmai was not so bad after all. The ash properly mixed with the soil gave beneficial results in both gardens and field crops. With the use of stable manure and com mercial fertilizers very satisfactory re- suits were obtained in growing oats and barley for hay on volcanic ash eight to nine inches deep. Where the ash was only a few inches deep the growth was very heavy. The fertil- izer and manure nourishing the plants until their roots reached the soil be- low when the growth was rapid. Oats, barley and rye matured this season. The vegetables of the garden were the best ever grown here on the island. Potatoes were of better quality than ever before and the yield was good.
 The native grasses on the hillsides furnished abundant pasturage and hay for the cattle at the settlements In the valleys most of the grass was GOV cred too deep to get through the ash. but that which did get through made very heavy growth.
 Sufficient hay and silage was raised at the station for the small herd of sheep and the teams The cattle ta- ken to the States last fall will be brought back next spring Some fifty head will be offered for sale at Che halls this fall and only the best milk CTS on the herd will be retained. Those for sale are of the best beef type and some are as good as can be found of the breed in the States.
 The object of the work with the Galloway is to develop a milk strain of the breed, and in so doing there will be goodly number for sale each year which conform to the we'll established beef type, for which they have been selected for years. There will be a few that will be saved for the dairy work, and by careful selection and actual test in the dairy these will be known by their performance.
