WORK ON DAM
 MAKES HEADWAY

Great progress is being made on the big impounding dam of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company at the up- per basin of Salmon creek. The inn mense concrete wall is now set to a height of forty feet and the mixture is being poured with the regularity of pulse beat day and night
 Every economic factor known to mechanics has been called to facili- tate matters. The gravel is ploughed from the valley which is to become a lake of water, by immense power scra- pers. It is conveyed to the washing apparatus by power conveyors and by other cOnveyors to the mixer The ce- ment is hoisted from the ships or docks of Juneau into cars that are standing on barges. These barges are lowed to the Salmon creek tram and hOisted by cable to the railroad track above. Here a locomotive hitches itself to a train of them and goes snOrting along to the foot of the upper falls of Salmon creek where a second cable tram hOists the cars to the dam site. The mater ial is not touched by hands until it is dropped onto the belt cOnveyOrs that carry it to the mixer
 The mixture is hoisted up the dis tributing tower by power elevators to the required height and dumped into pair of metal troughs leading in either direction from the center, and the concrete thus placed exactly where it is wanted
 This distributing tower has now been erected 100 feet high but it will have to grow 100 feet higher before the dam is complete. They are now pouring from a height of 50 feet and the wall is complete to a height of 40 feet. When complete the wall will be 175 feet high and 700 feet long. The base is 47 feet thick and the top will be feet thick. It will hold back a lake comprising approximately 17,O0O acres of water, and furnish a flow that will generate ,OO0 horse power of electrical energy.
 The organization is perfect. Ev erything, including men and machin- cry, move like the works of high grade watch.

WEAVER AND ARCHER STILL
 DRAWING AT ORPHEUM

The Jolly Bohemians," Archer and Weaver, continued their success at years since a Juneau audience has had the Orpheum last night. It is many chance to witness old-time minstrel sy. and it was enjoyed. The musical features as on the preceding night were favorites. Tonight is their last appearance in Juneau. 'The Seize of Petersburg" a very romantic and thrilling war drama featuring scenes during the civil war, is presented with realistic cleverness. It requires two reels to finish the play "Bridget's Sudden Wealth" is a very laughable Edison comedy that ends the enter tainment.
