FALL ROADS LEAD" TO
 PERSEVERANCE MINE

Judging from the number of people who left this afternoon for the Perse- verance mine to be guests tonight of the Ptarmigan Club for their Rough neck" party, only a corporals guard will be left in Juneau.
 The sleds left town filled with peo- pie and many others planend to walk. B. L. Thane, manager, and members of his office force, left during the early afternoon and will be on hand to help receive the guests.
 This event has been the most talked about topic for several days past. The many prospective guests have been looking forward to it with keen antici- patton of pleasure. Moreover, there is warm bond of friendship and com radeship between the residents of the city and the officers and employees of the mine, which makes the entertain ment the more interesting.
 While the mine management has an excellent equipped mess house for getting up a banquet, many things have been ordered from town especial ly for the occasion. One order alone from William Taylor's candy store in cluded 25 gallons of ice cream.
 Some of the mine officials thought that probably one hundred an fifty people would be present, but town peo- pie judged the number would reach nearer three hundred. In any event, there will be plenty for everyone, no matter how large the crowd.
 The people will leave the mine at 10 o'clock tomorrow forenoon for town.

WOMEN PIONEERS ARE
 DOING THEIR PART

Worthy of the song of a bard or the verse of a poet is the manner in which woman has and is playing her part in the development of the Northland, often under the stress of extreme hard ship and sometimes in the shadow of tragedy.
 An exchange tells about Mrs. Cuning- ham leaving Dawson with a six weeks old babe and two other children for a 150 mile mush. Some years ago Mrs. James Montgomery, the wife of the man who started one of the first gold stampedes to the White river, gave birth to a child there. She was the only white woman in that part of the country at the time and often stayed alone for days while her husband was hunting or prospecting. The members of this family later lost their lives while trying to run the Chitina river in a boat.
 The Fairbanks papers last winter printed news items about a woman with two children, one a mere babe, left alone in a cabin on the Totalinka river. The husband had left for Fair banks to get supplies. The mother started for another cabin with her two children on a handsled, and the baby was frozen when she reached shelter and she herself was exhausted.
 Aside from these tragedies their have been others. Moreover, the bit terness of many breaking hearts, de nied the softening influence of former associations, has never been made pub lie and will never be known. Living in the wilderness hath all the charm and entertainment of a poem when viewed in the perspective of distance, but it is a grim story of privation as lived by many of the women in Alaska And yet they are taking their stand be, side their husbands and hoping the same as the latter hope that some day Congress will wake up and allow Alas, ka's resources to be opened so that they may realize something substan. tial on what they have gone through and by reason thereof properly educate their children.

Squatters Prevent Mining
 Company From Using Land

There was a clash yesterday after noon between employees of the Alas ka.Juneau Mining company and de- fendants in an action brought Wednes- day last by the mine company to oust them from portions of the hillside some distance back from Lower Front street and within the area of the company's mill site.
 The mine employees started to put in a post for an electric line from the transformer to the mouth of the tun- mel. Several of those who had locat- ed OF the ground in question resisted their efforts. Mrs. Wm. Hyde stood guard over the disputed hole with an axe in her hand. The marshals office was informed of the trouble and an officers dispatched to the scene. He took the axe away from Mrs. Hyde, but no arrests were made. Meantime the mine employees, acting under de finite instructions from Superintend ent R. A. Kinzie not to use violence, had withdrawn.
 This morning Mir. and Mrs. Hyde appeared before United States Com missioner J. B. Marshall and asked for a warrant againts the company em- plOyees on the grounds of criminal trespass. The Commissioner inform ed them that he would not issue a war rant to them, any more than he would to the company, while a civil suit was pending, which was brought for the purpose of finally settling title to the ground He also warned parties to the action against violence of any kind during the pendency of the suit, and stated further that even should the mine company cover the ground with improvements, that fact would not give it one shade the best of it in a contest for title to the ground. and, further more, it would have to remove the i'm provements at it's own expense should the decision of the court be favorable to the defendants in the action.
 The Alaska-Juneau mining company, which has a previous location on the ground claimed by the squatters under the mill site law, desires to stretch a Uira over tha DrODartv in 0ueStiOO for the purpose of lighting the change room at the mouth of the tunnel so that the crew at work on the Gold creek side of the companys holdings can be taken to and from their work through the tunnel instead of compel ling them to walk a mile and a half around the basin road to the place they work.

STREET TAKERS ARE
 "BOARDERS' IN JAIL


 E. c. Briggs and John Kayser, ar rested for speaking on the streets in violation of city ordinance No. 125, were fined $25 each by Police Magis- trate J. B. Marshall yesterday after noon. T hey refused to pay the fine i'm posed and will serve 1t out in jail.
 The jury which the men demanded earlier in the day. and for which the hearing was postponed until the after noon hour, did not materialize. The police magistrate found the law pro vides that in cases of petty misdemean- or parties to an action demanding a jury trial must first deposit with a court officer the jury fees. When in- formed of this the two men refused to comply with the law, and the magis- trate proceeded to try their cases.
 Some time before court convened, Kayser lounged in the courtroom puff ing a cigarette, commented in slight ing manner upon the court, the court officials, the city officials and every thing connected with the same. He in- timated to a few of his sympathizers present that he was about to become the goat" for a Kangaroo court"
 When the two men were being tried Kayser repeated his remarks, "sassed" the magistrate, said that the whole town of Juneau was owned by the big companies, and indulged in a species of cheap talk" apparently with the sole view of making an impression on those present and that he was the martyred friend of the working classes.
