The immediate construction of an other great ore reduction plant at Juneau is now practically an assured fact. The big quartz mill is to be on the beach between Juneau city limits and Salmon creek and but a short distance from the business sec ton of town.
 This means another great pay roll in itself and greatly increased pop ulatiou for th, town But this is not all. the mines to be operated in fur nishing ore for the mill win make much larger pay roll and being To, cated so very close to town will m. doubtedly add materially to Juneau's population.
 It has been demonstrated by years of development and experiments at mining and milling the ores of the Juneau gold belt that to do so success fully the mills must be placed on the tide water: cheap power obtained and every rule of economy adhered to strictly. This means that there must be large ore bodies Co mine and large plants to mill the product also that biz capital must be back of the pro- feet. To this end a plan was set on foot to consolidate several properties and then find the necessary capital to carry out the plan.
 Some time ago George R. Noble came up to Juneau and spent several weeks. It was generally understood that he was here in the interest of Boston capital but when approached on the subject neatly parried any questions asked relative to his back, CTS.
 Mir Noble returned to Seattle with the options of Dr. Leyitt's interest in the Boston group and also the former Ebuer interests in the same property which had been purchased by Judge Folsom. To these were added the Hallam property consisting of about a dozen claims and the Dora group of five more claims.
 The whole property has been turned over to the Chapman group of capital

MIR. GRAY TALKS
 OF LEGISLATURE

Representative-elect R. D. Gray, of KatalIa. who has been in town for a few days will be a passenger on the Humboldt for Seattle. Mir. Gray expects to return to Juneau in about two weeks, and will then remain here until the end of the session of the Ter ritorial Legislature.
 Speaking of the work of that body, Representative-elect Grey regretted the limitations placed upon it by the organic act, but he believed there was an earnest desire on the part of it's members to do all that could be done for the territory within these limita' tious, and an attempt would probably be made to have the legislative powers enlarged. Mir. Gray added that the legislature had not been prohibited from memorializing Congress. He also said that he had heard of nc candidates for Speaker of the lower House. as yet.

BRITAIN'S PROTEST
 NOT LIGHTLY MADE

LONDON, Jan. 24.-"There are in- dications," says the Times editorial ly, that the serious nature of the British protest against the Panama Canal act is not universally under stood in the United States. We great ly regret that they should exist be- cause any misconception of the kind must tend to lessen the prospect that the controversy occasioned by the act may be speedily settled by the nego- tiations opened by Sir Edward Grey's recent dispatch.
 "The comments upon that docu- ment in some American newspapers suggest an inability or unwillingness on the part of those who make them to appreciate the British attitude on the canal question. The studied cour- tesy and moderation with which the Secretary of State has reiterated our objections to the act and has replied to the arguments of President Taft's memorandum are apparently regarded as signifying that the protest was not made in earnest and that it will not be pressed. That is a complete misconception of the dispatch and British opinion.
 "The nation is sorry this protest should have been made necessary but they are convinced that it is neces- sary, and they would have judged the government guilty of grave derelic- tion of duty had the Ministers neg lected to lodge it. They will expect and require it to be maintained with the firmness which confidence in their rights and knowledge of their inter- ests justify,
 "They hope for a speedy settle ment by diplomatic means, for such a settlement would be to them wei come proof that the readiness to meet American wishes they have so con spicuously shown on this question is reciprocated. Should, however, this hope be disappointed they will un doubtedly demand that the whole sub feet be submitted to arbitration"

Another Mining Deal

 Tentative plans are under way for the construction of a large mill on the beach near town. A tunnel will be driven from a point on the side of the mountain. a little to the right of the old Last Chance compressor house, through to the Hallam property.
 The ores will then reach the water front at sufficient elevation to insure economic handling. The ores from the Boston group will probably have to be hoisted.
 The plans include an immense power plant at Lemon creek. In or der to insure a permanent water sup ply it will be necessary to build a large dam creating a reservoir simi- lar to the one being created by the Alaska -Gastineau Company on Sal mon creek. It is said that the con tract has already been let for the of this great dam and that active operations will begin early in the spring. This power will be used to operate the mills and the mining properties known as the Dora o-roun and the Hallam ground.
 Mir. Noble is now in Seattle wait ing to be joined by his family, com ing from the East and they will ar rive in Juneau on an early boat. He sent fine driving horse and buck board up on the last trip of the Hum boldt to be used in his operations here.
 Judge Folsom has received a check on the Boston group deal. Frank A. Brown who is vice president of the Boston Group Mining Company and a heavy owner in the property said that he had had no advices in relation to the deal just consummated. The Bos- ton group is said to be a very fine property and the Hallam property has been recognized as a good thing for many years. It is understood that a good substantial payment has been made on the Hallam property pur- chase

 The Governor is also arranging for the appointment of several native po- lice officers in the second division to assist in the apprehension of whis- key peddlers in the Nome region.
