compared to the tremendous mines that are here at Juneau. l made the statement at q banquet here several years ago that l believed that this Alaska,Juneau property would be the largest mine in the world and now II know it-at least it is the largest mine that know of from my own personal knowledge, And, l am glad to know that it has turned out to be true. It means much for Jul neau."
 F. w. Bradley at Head.
 F, w. Bradley, president of the Alaska.Treadwell Gold Mining Com pany. is at the head of the Alaska Juneau and he with John H. Macken' zie owns most of the stock. He is now in the city looking over the progress of development work both in the mine and in the erection of the reduction works on lower Franklin streets. The building of the big mills in Juneau has involved a tremdous lot of work. A traffic line for both water and ore cars had to be built from the portal of the main tunnel to the mill site in town. This demanded the boring of a hole through Mount Roberts, 2,25O feet long, and two other tunnels az gregating 75O feet in length. There are intervals of grading along the mountain side and trestle work. mak- ing a total distance of little more than q mile before emerging on the bay side of Mount Roberts above town. This traffic line has an eleva- tion of about 400 feet at the mill site to about 490 feet at the portal of the main tunnel of the mine. The Wa ter Hume is low enough to permit a flow of water under the car tracks through the tunnels,
 The mills. when completed, accord ing to plans that were divulged dur ing the progress of recent court proceeding will have capacity Of twice the combined output of the mines across the channel. There are to be six 150,stamp mills with q combination of Chilian mills that double the usual capacity of the ordinary stamp mill. Thirty acres of land have been acquired for this pur- pose. part of which is within the city limits. The millsite is now being prepared for the erection of the great reduction plant. Docks are being built at which to land the necessary supplies that go into the development and it is expected to have the first unit of the plant built and in opera tion before the close of the present year
 All of the tunnel work described as being finished has been done since January. 1912. and in addition, 5,SOO feet have been bored on the main tun- nel of the mine, leaving less than 2,- 900 feet yet to be driven in order to tap the main shaft under the old workings. The ore will fall down the stopes into the cars instead of being hoisted. The power is furnished by the glacial waters of Nugget creek. The ore will be hauled from the mine to the mills down hill by electric To- comotives. These econimical factors account for the low cost of mining and milling.
 It is estimated that the development work that has been done and the in staIation of the reduction works will involve an expenditure of about two millions of dollars. There will be em- ployed in mines and mills a force of men numbering between 2,5OO and g., OOO These people will all have to live in Juneau.

GLEANINGS FROM GREAT
 NORTHERN EMPIRE

The Ruby Record-Citizen of May 17th says there has been no disap- pointment reported from any of those that had clean up their sluice boxes prior to that date. In every instance the result had come up to expectations. While the first clean-ups read in small figures when compared with prosperous Fairbanks cleanup there was a great deal of curiosity on the part of dump owners, and they did not wait so long as miners usually do before trying to find out how rich the dirt was running. The following are given as the result of the first clean ing up of the sluice boxes: Buckley & Bernard, $6,7OO; Smith & Co.,, $6,- 500: Moore & Stenfelt, s1,70O; Ferry Brothers. Trail, s$,9OO; Edgar & Swan- nan. Glen gulch. s7OO; Shaw & Swan son, Lucky creek, $500; total, $2O,- 300.
 The first of the White Pass lower river steamers arrived at Fairbanks at II a. m. June 21. when the Alas ka" reached that point with a full list of passengers and capacity freight cargo. The Alaska left Daw- son 12 hours behind the Northern Nav igation Company's steamer St. Mich ael and arrived just one hour behind her. The steamer was received at vhena by a trainload of Fairbanks people

1t has long been-a problem how to care

No Reason Is Given.


Passed Assistant Paymaster Edward
Little, q. S. N, who has for the last
three years been assigned to duty on
the U. S. s. Mayfiower. the Presidents
yacht, has rendered his resignation. No
reason so far has been given, and the

ed his resignation.
Paymaster Little was transferred from
duty on the Mayfower last Saturday
and placed on the list of pay corps
awaiting orders" He is about twenty
nine years old and quite well known
and popular in Washington society.
There seems to be an air of mystery as
to the reason for the officers resignation,
and inquiries at the Navy Department

nation desired concerning 1t would have
to come from Paymaster, Little himself.
