FLENINIING-DAIL WILL
 DRIVE CROSS-CUT TUNNEL

George Dali and J. E. Flemming Of the Flemming-Dail Mining com pany, operating a quartz mine on Windy Arm, came up from a visit to the Sound and left today for their camp.
 Their property is a silver-lead ore body and is very high grade. An average of $lO,O0O net has been realized above all expenses after leaving the mine, including freight rates over the railroad and steam ship lines, and smelting charges, on each 1OO-ton shipment.
 It is designed to drive a cross-cut tunnel approximately 1000 feet in length which will reduce the cost of mining very materially. A steam plant has been installed to furnish power for compressOrs.
 This mine has been operating un- der -se same owners, J. F. Elem ming and George Dail, since 1905, and has always taken care of itself and returned substantial profit despite the fact that they have been working at disadvantage which it IS expected the new development | V i'll obviats

Douglas News man philosophises like this:
 A fitting sequel to the chapter O happenings in Douglas last week was the attempted murder and the accomplished suicide of Friday. It may be that as Westerners we shall allow 1t tC pass in the Western way, with but scant notice. The hurry and hustle of life precludes the attention to small matters that might sometimes prove beneficial. And in the great, bowling, busy West the violent ending of human life 's often considered but a small matter. But at least one lesson should be learned, and if it is learn ed all is well. Douglas cannot thrive and grow great as a home city in the midst of sin and filth and rottenness. And, if Douglas is not to be q home city it will be nothing. Justice will have it's sway, and if man is weak there is higher force that will. have its sway and correct the evils which have been overlooked. Isn't it about time for the wave?

BY way OF reciprocity a determined
and. wen sustained attempt iseto be
made to introduce one or two species
of Pacific salmon on the New England
coast The present condition of the
New England rivers precludes the pos
sibiifty of re-establishing the large
native, salmon therein; but there is
a prospect of introducing small spec
les of Pacific salmon which spawn
near the sea andlwould not be Affect
tsed by distractions and the greatly
changed physical character of the
headwaters which for some years have
practically prohibited natural spawn
