NEW YORK, March 14.-For the bene-
At of the movies" Rodman Law incased
himself yesterday in a twenty-five-fOot
skyrocket, the largest ever made. pro-
PEELED by about 500 pounds Of powder and
designed to carry him to an indefinite
height Che didn't know or care just how
high, but possibly it would be $500 or
1000 feeU. when he was to squirm him
self out of the tube and descend to earth
by a parachute.
The film was to be entitled From New
York to Paris in 100 Minutes The ex-
pertinent was a huge success. especially
from the spectacular viewpoint except
for the fact that Law did not go up, but
came down-through a twenty-five-foot
sheet Of flame, which burned his face and
arms terribly.
Hackensack meadows at an extremely
safe distance from the spot where the
skyrocket was poised and who rushed
to that spot Immediately after the ex-
plosion of those 500 pounds OF powder

perhaps a leg of the intrepid young

the huge rocket from its place of manu-

HOPES FOR COLD IN ALASKA.
-a-a-e.--
Navy Department Not Anxious That
Warmer Weather Come

II is probable that the Navy Depart
ment is alone in its hope that Alaska
will have cold freezing weather well along
into the spring.
IL appears that the department was
given the duty by Congress last year of
testing a representative sample of the
high-grade coal of the Boring river field
near Controller bay, Alaska. 1t thus be-
came necessary for the department to
mine 800 tons of the coal and drag 1t over
the snow and ice to the Beriag river,
where 1T can then be loaded into boats
Inasmuch as summer transportation
means expensive trail construction the
department hopes that the weather in
Alaska is not of the brand obtaining in

 Arriving on the bay side tn. tro f,,c ilne follows along the mountain s,a, !" the mill site. part of which is within the city limits of Juneau. The orc commences to undergo the process of milling at an elevation of 400 feet. where 1t enters the rock house to pass through the crushers. The gravity system has full swing and the ore Keeps dropping until every process used in the extracting of values has been completed and tho tailinrs are carried into the pond set aside in Gas. tineau channel.
 The mills are set at an elevation of ITO feet. giving grade sufficient to car. ry tailings for several miles. The com. pany has set aside a pond where ta,l- ings will he confined and which has n capacity of 72.ooo.OOo tons.
 However. before this pond is used. IS very probable that the city of Ju- neau will use several million tons in filling up it's water front streets and in recIaiming certain tide lands for which it has memorialized congress.
 A pipe line is projected to another tailing pond below Sheep creek after the room here is exhausted, but this contingency is not of immediate con- cern.
 Power will be generated by hydro electric plants. At Nugget creek. some fifteen miles from Juneau. the Alaska -Treadwell Co. has a plant now in use, and with the Alaska. .Ju- neau Co. shares in the ownership of the water rights of that stream. The entire stream with its three basins is estimated to be capable of deyelopln. 6.O1o horse power of electrical energy. The Alaska Treadwell is now using i.3OU horse power developed on the lower G,sin of the stream. It is the intention of this company to build q dam to increase the efficiency of It's plant. The Alaska Juneau Company will utilize both the middle and lower basins. constructing dams so as to have two reservoirs and use the water over again after 1t has taken it's first plunge. and then let it pass below for the use of its present consumer. Addi- tional power is contemplated from Speel river. near Snettishham. The power will have to be transmitted across Taku inlet through a submarin ca ble.
 \ great sea level tunnel is projected to reach from the reduction plant In Juneau to the mines in the basin. This tunnel will be 5000 feet in length and will. of course. cut the ore body more than 100 feet lower down than the tunnel now in operation. An incline tram will take the ore care from this sea level tunnel up to the level of t1 orc crushers at the rock houses.
 More than thirty acres of land have been purchasd. on which to erect th's great reduction plant. and the plans as outlined do not permit of any waste. Every bit of space is designed for some use. Docks, warehouses. rai'- rnads and shops line the water front. except that portion reserved for a rall- ing pond, and even here the railroad skirts around the present shore line :" Il point reserved for powder magazines The buildings are grouped to serve every known law of economy. Besides the four main mill buildings md the auxiliary structures for these mills the entire plant will contain n num- Ter of large shops.
