JUNEAU TOWNSHIP
 A PLACER MINE

c. w. Fries, some time member of the City Council of Juneau, has the neighborhood around the government hospital gasping-this alarming situa- tion was brought about by posting a placer location near the new build ing which he is having erected in that section. According to the location notice Mir. Fries claims a tract GOV ering a goodly part of the hill famil- iarly known as Chicken Ridge, but more recently bearing the euphonious title of Gastineau Heights.
 A large portion of the hill is also claimed under quartz mining loca- tions; and when the people claiming the surface rights for townsite pur- poses desired to get title by mutual consent between surface claimants and quartz claimants the title was all lowed with mineral reservations and town lot titles are so made. Much of this land is now dotted with handsome cottages. If Mir. Fries can now come into possession of the surface rights through a placer location the people living there will have to take to the blue ether.

Georgeson, in charge of government agricultural experimental stations and work in Alaska, who ar rived on the Humboldt or his way to his headquarters at Sitka, says the work of retaining for useful pur- poses the station on Kodiak island for experimental stock breeding, will begin at once.

NEW DEPOT
 FOR SEATTLE

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul railway has determined to build new depot in Seattle that will exceed in cost, size and architectural grandeur the other depots of the city, and, m- like them, it win be locatel north of the business section of the town, on the south shores of Lake Union, rath- CT than south of the business district, as is the case with the Northern Pa cifc and Great Northern King street station or the Oregon and Wash ington depot that adjoins it.
 The location of the Milwaukee sta ton is in the neighborhood of the civ ic center that was selected by Virgil Bogue, the engineer that Seattle paid $2OOOO to make plans for the complet, ed and more beautiful Seattle. It is located between Westlake and East lake avenues on Lake Union, and is probably inside information of its location that caused the boom in real estate in the Denny regrade district near which it is located.

GETS NICE
 SUM OF MONEY

Hamilton R. Simpson, whom the Washington State Supreme Court de- cided last week is the real legatee to a bequest of $6,OOO, given by M. J. Heney, according to the terms of his will, to "R. H. Simpson" is well known in Alaska, where he lived for many years. He was employed for many years as locomotive engineer on the White Pass. Afterward he was depu ty United States marshal at Skag- way. He resigned this position after few years, and left for the West ward where he was employed on the Copper River & Northwestern Rail- way as division superintendent. He has been called Rotary Bill' Simp- son. The Rotary" part of the name came from the fact that he operated a rotary snow blow on the Rocky Mountain division of the Great North ern, and afterward performed like ser vices on the White Pass.
 The lawsuit that developed over the Heney will resulted from the fact that Richard H.. Simpson, whom Heney knew for many years, claimed the legacy for himself. It was proved by oral testimony that Heney had Hamil- ton R. Simpson, the former Skag- wayite, in his mind when he wrote his will. Heney and Simpson were colse personal friends and had been associates Tor many years. Heney always called Simpson Bill" and had forgotten the manner in which he wore his initials when he was talk ing to his lawyer about the disposi- tion of his estate.
 Simpson is now ranching in Neva- da.
 Heney gave many of his former as. sociates at skagway and Cordova var. ious sums of money running from $6,OOO to $25,OOO.

"The High Cost of Living is really one of the finest stories ever attempt ed with the camera. It is a true pre- sentation of the delightful magazine story written about year ago, which was great success, and is well worth repeating.
