RIG EXCURSION CAPTURES JUNEAU
GAMES
 ATTRACT ATTENTION

There will be some baseball on tap tomorrow. The fifth of the series oi ten games that are being played under agreement between Douglas-Treadwell and Juneau will be contested on the Douglas grounds. This game promises more than the usual interest. The boys across the channel have captured three of the four games already played and Juneau will make desperate eff fort to retrieve, commencing with to- morrow. There will undoubtedly be a change in the Juneau lineup in to- morrow's game, but Mir. Radonich re- fuses to state just what the changes will be.
 It is known that five ball players arrived on the Mariposa last night and it is said that some or them will be in the game for Juneau tomorrow. The players arriving are Father Tom Kelly, Ben Hunt, w. CoughIin, J. D. Knapp. Willis Bryant who has been here a few days is also said to be scheduled in the lineup for tomorrow.
 The Alaska-Gastineau Terriers and the C. w. Young Tigers will cross bats on the home grounds.

George R. Noble, general manager of the Hallum construction company and the Lemon Creek Power and Mines Company has all the develop ment work in the Silver Bow basin and Salmon creek divisions moving along smoothly. The number of men employed is not large compared with the greater forces at work with the Alaska-Juneau and the Alaska-Gastin- eau companies, for the reason that this stage in the development of the plans has not yet been reached. The group of capitalists interested in the work however. are connected with one of the greatest mining concerns of the United States.
 Everything is being done in sys- tematic manner and the near future will bring some wonderSul changes, ac- cording to the plans that have been decided upon and are now being car

 At Salmon creek the sawmill has been erected and is in operation cut ting lumber to be used in the com pany's development work. The com pressor plant has been set up to furn- ish power for the machine drills that will be employed in their mine devel- opment in that division.
 In the Silver Bow basin active work has started on the Ebner mine de- velopment. The machinery for the experimental mill has all been hauled to the ground and is being set up. The compressor machinery is also on the ground and is being placed in position. It is the design of the company to con tinue the work on the Ebner tunnel which was started some time ago. A tunnel will also be driven into the Hal lum group using power from this same station.

 The Jefferson landed at the City dock in Juneau precisely on the min. ute-l2:30 Juneau time. The High School band had assembled and 1t dis coursed lively airs while the excur. sionists were debarking. Governor J. F. A. Strong, Mayor C. w. Carter. President Reck of the Juneau Com. mercial Club, and many bushes and professional men on the reception com mittee were at the dock to welcome the distinguished party. The party immediately formed into line and marched out to the Governors House for the purpose of paying their re- spects to Governor and Mrs. Strong.
 This afternoon parties were taken by launch and ferry service to both Sheep creek and Salmon creek where the Alaska.Gastineau company's ex. tensive development work is in prog. ress and other parties were taken up Silver Bow basin where the best known mines are being developed. Here they came in contact with the work on the Ebner, the Alaska-Juneau and the Perseverance mines. Other members of the party spent the time looking around town. The work going on at the mill cite of the Alaska-Ju- neau on lower Franklin street was in. spected and various small parties wis. tied the Aux Indian village.
 The Jefferson will leave Juneau about midnight conveying the party to Skagway. From Skagway they travel over the White Pass & Yukon route to Dawson and then embark for Fairbanks. They leave Fairbanks and descend the Tanana to the Yukon once more enroute to Nome. Leaving Nome they come out through Bering Sea visiting the Pribloff seal islands and pass through the straits to the Pa. ciic. They enter the great Alaskan gulf and pass along to the Westward cities of Kodiak, Seward, Valdez, Cor. dova and back home once more. com pleting a journey of S.594 miles.

Review of Juneau'S
 Mining Industry

Iod of Alaska's development to the present date, and individual efforts to operate sections Of this ore zone by Inherent companies have been attemp, trd at various times for the past ten or fifteen years.
 The ore in this zone averages from Sl5o To S2OO per ton gross, with a recovery of from SIPS to $l.5O per ton This low grade value makes 1t impossible to operate these properties on smal, scale and the work per formed only resulted in determining the size and character of the deposits.
 The success Of low grade operations in other fields. carried on in enormous milling plants, and the success of the treatment of low grade deposits on Douglas Island. eventually led to the consolidation of the various holdings along the line of this lead into these several groupings named above.
 Two Groups of Operators.
 Within the last two years two sep arate groups of mining operating of international reputation consolidated and took up the Alaska.Juueau prop critics ou the one hand and the prop ertIcs belonging 10 the Alaska.Gastm' eau Mining Company on the other hand. and after elaborate eXamina- tons. mill tests by competent engn' e-rs. etc. determined that these de- pos,ts would. if operated on sutli' cieutly large scale. give a good margin Der ton or ore. This margin is esti- mated on a safe basis to vary between 30 cents and D cents per ton.
 Tonnage Greatest in World.
 Al the same time the ton mage estimated from sea lev eel basis m these properties was figured to run into the hundreds Of millions: in fact. the deposits as now outlined are estimated 10 be the larg' est known gold deposits in existence.
 A little over two years ago the Alas ka.Juneau company were sufficiently satisfied with their development and examinations to begin operations on a large scale The first work in this line was to drive large adit tuneIs to tap the ore bodies at depth and afford q means Of transportation of ore from the mine to Gastineau channel. The preparation of the millsite and rail road connected with these tunnels can be seen just adjacent to Juneau.
 A little over a year ago Hayden, Stone X Company. bankers of New York and Boston, had the property of the Alaska Gastiueau Mining Company examined by their engineers. This examination was so satisfactory that financial arrangements were immed- lately made for an expenditure of ap- proNimately five millions of dollars for development and equipment on this

CANADA MAY DEPORT
 JACK JOHNSON

MONTREAL, June 2S.--In case Jack Johnson should attempt to remain in Canada he will be deported to the United States as an undesirable immi- grant. The government authorities yesterday afternoon ordered his ar rest pending charges of this character in case it should become evident that he contemplated remaining here. The order was made at the request of Sec retary of State William J. Bryan, or the United States.
 The crime for which Johnson was convicted is not extraditable, hence the only manner the United States could gain jurisdiction over him is for Canada to return him to that country through the Canadian immi- grafton laws.
