FERROUS EVEN TO
 MENTION DYNAMITE
Physician Gets Arrested for Saying in a Joke He Guessed He Would
 Do a Couple of Jobs.

1 TRINIDAD, Colo, Jan. 20. -- Dr. Henry Dillon, of Des Moines, N. M., learned that the subject of dynamite is one not to be joked with since the dynamite trial in Indianapolis.
 Dr. Dillon purchased supply of dynamite at hardware store, and casually remarked to the clerk; q guess I'll go out and do a couple of jobs and get a bunch of money"
 The clerk became suspicious. He telephoned the police, who arrested the physician in a barber shop, At the police station Dr. Dillon explained that he was digging deep well on his ranch near Des Moiues and ob- tained the dynamite to blow out some rock The physicians home town there vouched for his explanation. He was released, after which he bought about $1G worth of cigars.

WATER TURNED
 INTO BIG PLUME

On Saturday the water of Salmon creek was turned into the big Hume for the first time and allowed to flow down the pipe to the power plant. The main purpose was to clear out the pipe line so that there would be no obstruction when the machinery is ready to operate.
 The big Hume gave entire satisfac' tion, but considerable annoyance was occasioned by the ice that had accu- mulated before the water was turned in. In a few more days it is expect, ed that the big generator will be in operation thus guaranteeing an un' failing source of power for the mining development of the Alaska-Gastineau Company, now under way.

J. (. Ford Predicts a
 Big Future Juneau

will sell at a most reasonable figure water frontage enough to do this, or we will lease to the city on the most reasonable terms for that pur- pose. The city should retain pos session of it's dock and continue to dictate the dock charges. The dock, however. should be made large enough 10 handle all the business that may come to the port The idea that two or more steamship companies should combine and build union dock does not seem to me to be a good plan for either the people of Juneau or for the steamship companies. We are in the shipping business and do not care to engage in the dock business, and have never done so except as it became necessary to care for the shipping business. With good am. pie city dock every ship coming to the port would get fair treatment and there would be a great economic say ing in the handling of freight. We cer- tainly prefer a municipal dock to any scheme for a union wharf owned by private capital.
 The municipal coal yard estab- ushed in Juneau was another splen- did idea, but I think it would be mistake for the city to give us or any other steamship company a mon- opoly on handling the coal The city should remain free and allow free competition among the ships enter ing the port in the matter of handling the coal. I am not saying it would be unwise to contract for the pur. chase of coal-only for the shipping of it.
 "We shall be glad to take up the city dock problem at any time and shall do everything possible to the end that better dockage facilities be provided in Juneau"

Gold Mining in 1912
 in the Interior Country

l5O men were employed in this dis trict on 30 claims, and the value of the gold production was probably in excess of $15O,OOO.
 About 24 claims, located on five creeks and employing 14O men, were worked in the Innoko district during 1912. No new discoveries were made In the Iditarod district Otter and Flat creeks continue to be the most im- portant producers of placer gold. Work was also done on Chicken, Will low, and Happy creeks, and a little mining was carried on about Moore creek, located about 30 miles farther east A dredge was installed on the upper part of Flat creek during the winter of 1912 and was operated for the latter part of the open season. It is estimated that S4 mines were op- erated in the Iditarod district in 1912. These were distributed on six creeks and employed about $50 men. or these plants, one is a dredge, eight cen are equipped with steam machin- cry and the rest are operated by man. ual methods.
 During the summer of 1912 gold was discovered on Fox Gulch, trib- utary of Cripple creek, 30 miles north east of ophir. which created consid. erable local excitement. About hun dred men are said to be prospecting in this field. It is reported also that some workable placers were found on Mud river. northwesterly tributary of the Innoko.
 Prospecting continued in the AniuS river basin, where gold was found in 1911. A small amount of productive mining was done in this region ir 1912. Nothing of importance has de veloped in the Goodnews Bay region where several claims, however, were operated in 1912.

Judge overfield found there was no conspir- acy to monopolize the wharf business at skagway. He found that the wharf business at Skagway was not monop- olized by virtue of any conspiracy.
 All of the defendants were dismiss ed as to coun one, and the case against Ira Bronson, J. w. Smith, and c. E. Houston was dismissed in it's entirity. The remainder of the de- fendants will go on to trial on count two. which charges engaging in an unreasonable monopoly.

Juneau" said President J. C. Ford, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany. will. in few years, be the most important mining city in the world. Our people fully realize the fact that the great potential wealth lying in the hills back of town is to be brought forth to take its place in the arteries of trade We know that in order to get this wealth tremen- dous undertakings are now under way. great developments in a mining way not heretofore attempted, We realize that certain conditions must be overcome. and certain changes made in the immediate future if the natural destiny of the city is not to be retarded.
 Tt will not be our policy to stand in the way of such development that makes for progress, on the contrary, We shall cooperate in every way to promote the most rapid development of the country's resources. With this idea in view We have decided to have all our property appraised, that is, all that is not now actually in use through the conduct of our steamship busi- ness. to the end that it may be placed on the market at reasonable figure to any persons or corporations who wish to engage in any legitimate bus mess in this city or to any enter prise that will be factor in develop, ing the country. We will not howev- CT. offer any inducements to specula- tors. We want to help the people that are doing things.
 This municipal dock you have here is in an excellent location but it is too small. It can be made larger, We want to aid in some plan where by this dock can be made large enough 10 accommodate all the shipping that comes to the harbor of Juneau. We

SFC'Y, FISHER TO BE INVESTIGATED
Turks Rejection of Note
 Agitates the Powers

Macedonia had been ceded in spirit of conciliation and with a desire to avoid a renewal of the war. On two questions, however, he said Turkey will not yield Neither Adrianople nor the islands in the Aegean sea would be given up.
 The Turkish delegates also declare that Turkey has yielded to the allies four.fifths of what she originally claimed, thus going from maximum of her expectations to minimum which is absolutely irreducible. It is now the turn of the allies, they point out, to reduce the maximum of their original terms to such a minimum as will meet the Turks in reasonable compromise.

In the Circle district in 1912 the p,acer gold was taken chiefly from the mines at Mastodon, Deadwood. Eagle, Mamoth. Switch, and Independ- ence creeks. It is estimated that about 27 mines were worked during the winter and g in the summer of 1912. employing from 50 to loo men in the winter and from 145 to 175 in the sumer. A dredge installed on Mastodon creek was operated during the summer of 1912. Hydraulic plants were operated on Mammoth, Masto- don, and Eagle creeks.
 The Fortymile district has a sue cessfuI season. Three dredgcs were operated there during the summer. It is estimated that about 25 mines were operated in the winter of 1912 and about 50 during the summer. Many of these were, however. only small plants.
 It is reported that the hoyuNuh us trict had a very successful season in 1912. but details are lacking at this writing. A large amount of gold is said to have been taken from the newly discovered deep placers oI Ham mond creek. and this production may have been sufficient to more than dou- ble the output of the district. com, pared with previous years.
 Though the current reports from the Ruby creek district have been rather discouraging. yet it seems certain that this district will become a gold producer of some importance. In 1912 operations were practically confined to six creeks, all lying within small area about 25 miles south of the town of Ruby. on the Yukon. The creeks on which productive mining has been carried on are Long creek, Upper Long creek. Bear Pup, Mirnight creek Glenn Gulch, and Trail creek. About
