FERRY FRANCHISE.

That the Dock Board will have to be
reliably informed concerning the dis
position of the Third District Ferry
franchise before they will allow the
city the right of advertising the prop
erty for lease was the sense OF the last
meeting. 1t was stated that the Grand
Isle Railroad Company wants the
property and expect to bid it in when
advertised, but as to the disposition
and kind of ferry service maintained
is what the Dock Board is after.
1t was cited that two railroads had
transfer facilities on the river front
and had to pay high ANIMALS for the
same, but the ferry franchise would be
very cheap, and If it were to be used
by the Grand Island for a railroad
transfer, it would be discriminating
to allow the city to make the sale OF
the lease to them. 1t was unofficially
explained that the Grand Isle Rail-
eADtClcu W ihotibuIV BoDS-oN-
and freight ferry, by which they could
transfer the passengers and freight
from the railroad to the east bank, and
also work the ferry in conjunction with
the interurban line in Gretna and Al
giers.
Should this be the intention OF thu
railroad company, it Is probable tina
the Dock Board will not balk at thu
movement, but should they desire Il
install a railroad transport line, it i
probable, from the trend of the meet
ing that there will be serious objeC
ton to the city's proposition. Tn
space was formerly used by the cit
as a garbage dump, but recently it ha
been turned back to the Dock Board
to be used for the purpose OF buildin
docks. Since it has been discovere
that the Grand Isle Railroad and me
ger company, the interurban, desir
the ferry right, the city has apple
again for its use.

PLANT STILL RUNNING.

A few days ago the well-known Sc
curity Brewery, located on Brooklyn
avenue, was sold at public auction to
satisfy the bondholders' claim on the
plant. The Commercial-German bank
acting as trustee for the bondholders,
bid in the big place for $4,000. The
entire plant is estimated to cost ap-
proXimately 100000.
The brewery at present is being Oper-
ated and a visit to the plant does not
show that there has been any change
made so far as turning out the famous
product which has been made there
for these many years.
TO ORGANIZE NEW COMPANY.
We have it from the very best au-
thority that the brewery will not ceaes
operation, but that the plant will be
run by the new company which is now
being organized by Mr.. Mike Schorr.
Further information also is to the eff
feet that the brewery will be converted
into a bottled-beer brewery exclusively,
being the first one of it's kind in the
South. Exclusive bottled beer brewer
les have been established only in Ger
many and only recently have few
been organized in the North. 1t was
Mr. Schorr who first suggested this
plan a few years ago and it is believed
now that he will carry out his idea.
We are also informed that we can
safely assure the Algiers people that
the big plant will not be closed and
that it will employ in the future as
many, if not more, workmen.
The Security bottled beer has had a
run in our city, and especially in this
district where it is manufactured. II
is positively known that the bondhold
ers of the brewery will not operate the
plant, as was popularity supposed. Al
the time of going to press it could not
be ascertained who the principal stock
holders in the new concern are, bu
that the new company is fairly we'll or
ganized has been evidenced by grea
amount of activity in the vicinity o
the brewery, and also by those who ar
interested in it's future welfare.
Mr.. Schorr, who is one of our towns
men, deserves a considerable amount o
credit for the energy he has displaye'
in the past and also for the confidenc
he has in the product over which h
has been master and there are man
citizens of our State who are willing t
: proclaim Mr.. Schorr a first-class brew
; master Success to the new institu

SPoRTSMEN'S TRAIN DISCON-
TINUED.

The special sportsmen's train of the
Grand Isle Railroad, which was run as
an extra service on Saturday, and Sun
day. has now been discontinued on ac-
count of lack of patronage. 1t was
stated that the expense of the opera
ton of these trains was very excessive
and the revenues collected were not
sufficient to warrant continuance of
the service. Notwithstanding the fact
that the greatest travel is during the
summer months.
Vice-President Otto Maier stated,
however, that the company is thinking
seriously now of putting on some self
contained motor cars and when these
cars are on hand it will be an easy mat
ter for the company to establish sports
mems trains on better schedule than
that which was maintained on the
Sportsmen's Special. At the present
time, however, the company is engaged
in making some big improvements and
we are led to believe, beyond any rea
sonable doubt that the Grand Isle will
make very material improvements II
the road and especially better accom-
modations for the sportsmen and those
who visit the lower coast. Those whC
patronize the Sportsmens Special viii
no doubt regret that the train has beer
discontinued.

 q have gone through the Alaska Juneau property recently and am thor oughly acquainted with it's resources The first ore body encountered is 800 feet wide and will yield 7S,75O,OOO tons; the portion in the basin below the old workings is 1900 it. wide and 1900 1t. in length, and will yield l76,' 100000. The two bodies will yield a grand total of 254,150,O00 tons.

Joseph Macdonald made the state ment more than ten years ago, while holding the position of superintcnd- ent of the great Treadwell mines, that he believed the Alaska-Juneau, sit uated less than ? miles from town, in Silver Bow basin, was the biggest gold quartz mine in the world. Yesterday, Mir. Macdonald, who had but just re- turned from a trip of inspection through the wonderful development work, declared that he was now pos tive that his statement made prior to leaving Juneau was being proved true.
 The Alaska-Juneau mine," he said, lis the greatest mine have ever seen, and is coming up to the predictions that made over ten years ago.
 "The mine has been worked from the top in small way for number of years. Now, the ore body is cut by the great tunnels and it is prov ing to be of immense magnitude.
