N. N. COMPANY ON
 UPPER YUKON

The Northern Navigation Company will become competitor of the White Pass and Yukon on the Upper Yukon this year, and will operate the river steamer Evelyn on the route between Whitehorse and Dawson. The Eve lyn will be remodeled and placed un- der British flag that she might oper- ate in Canadian waters. This is the information brought to Juneau by A. F. Zipf, manager of the Northern Nav igation Company, who was north bound passenger on the Spokane. Capt. Sid Harrington will command the Evelyn. Harrington was reported to be the owner of the vessel, but it is now admitted that the ownership of the craft is in the big Yukon com pany.
 The action of the Northern Naviga- tion Company in going into the Upper Yukon steamboat business is due to that the White Pass Route is go- ing into that of the lower river The White Pass is building two steamers for the Lower Yukon river that will bear American registration and ply on the lower river.

Coal Expert
 Comes to Juneau

The Harkrader coal mines on Ad- miralty Island, are to be examined by George Watkin Evans, a coal mining expert, working under the direction of the bureau of mines. This action is taken for the purpose of securing information that expert advice may be given and the owner assisted in the matter of opening up the properties.

While this expedition is under the navy de- partment and the expenses covered by appropriations for that department the bureau of mines has been entrust- ed with the experimenting of the ac- tual work to be performed. It is de- signed to thoroughly test out the coals of the Chickaloon river and other de- posits of the Matanuska fields, and determine the commercial value of the fields. The expedition expects to complete it's work this season. While this is the primary object of Mir. Ev- ans journey at this time he has also been instructed by Director Molmes to investigate the conditions of coal matters in general. especially into the Alaska consumption of coal from abroad, and into the coal lands now under private ownership, with view of assisting the owners in the open ing up and developing of the mines to the end that the local conditions may be relieved.
 Mir. Evans expects to return from the Westward about June 15 and will endeavor at that time to look over the coal property of George Harkrader at Hooza,na-hoo Inlet, near Killisnoo. He had a conference with George Hark- rader, who recently obtained patent for this claim and it is understood that Mir.

SOLEMN SERVICES AT
 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
--O-O--

Sunday was held as solemn fes- tival in the Catholic church on the oc- casion of administering the Sacrament of Confirmation to thirty children and adults. The children were prettily dressed in white and wore wreaths of flowers and white wells.
 The Rev. Father E. H. Brown, S.J., rector of the parish, announced to the large congregation the letter Of the Prefect Apostolic delegating the Rev. P. B. Donnelly, O.M.I., to admin, ister the Sacrament of Confirmation. Father Donnelly, vested in the sacred vestments, explained the doctrine of confirmation that Christ instituted this sacrament by promising it. "1f l go not. the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go I will send Him to you;" John 16, VII. That the subject matter of this sacrament is the anoint- ing by holy chrism in the sign of the cross conjointly with the imposition of hands. The effects of the sacra, ment, he said, are an increase of grace making us perfect Christians" also that we receive the grace of the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost especial. ly courage and strength to proclaim
 
 the name of Christ. He earnestly ex' horted those about to receive this sac rament to remember the beautiful morning and the sentiments that ani' mated them now that 1t might be a lifelong inspiration for them.
 Confirmation was then solemnly ad' ministered followed by High Mass.
 Mir. Boyle and Mrs. Chapidean were the god-parents.
 In the evening Father Donnelly brought the exercises of the mission to an end by powerful sermon, en titled, "A Disciple of Christ.

FAMOUS EDITORS TO VISIT ALASKA
BIG COAL LAND
 CASE BEING HEARD
o-o--

The United States vs, the Northern Improvement Co.,, is the title of case to come up in the local land office to- day. The action involves title to Il coal land claims situated due north of the Cunningham group of coal claims and adjoining the latter. The land involved is familiarly known as the Chezum group of coal claims in the Boring river coal fields.
 These claims were first located in 1903 by S. c. Chezum, Charles Dough- erty, and E. H. Hughes as agents for the different claimants. Application for patent was made in 1908, the indi- vidual claimants having previously transferred their rights to the North ern Improvement Company, a Wash ington State corporation. Eearly in 1912 the government filed charges against the entry alleging that the claims were not taken up for the use of the locators themselves, but TOT the use of S. c. Chezum and Charles Dougherty; also that the locators had not opened coal mine on each of the claims. Testimony in the case was taken in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
 An oral argument was presented on the case before Registrar Walker and Receiver Boyle of the local land of flee today, by Judge A. c. Shaw, a Portland attorney, representing the claimants. S. c. Chezum also ap- peared at the hearing. NJ. S. Hubbard, a United States mineral inspector of the general land office and Attorney Meade, of the forest service, were all so present.

YUKON OUTLOOK
 IS EXCELLENT

The starting of dredges and hy- draulics for the season of 1913 marks one more suspicious year for the Yu. kon placer fields. The output this year likely will be heavier than it was last. With large percentage going to the laborers and the wood dealers. the Yukon retains heavy proportion of the total yield. The population Is not as large as in earlier days, and has shrunk almost yearly, but for those who remain there is a fair wage or good returns otherwise. Klondike has no room for an influx of labor. But if any man wishes to come and prospect he will find splendid field in the Yukon Territory. No season ever saw more promising opportuni- ties.
 Not only is Yukon rich in opportu- mites in drege and hydraulic ventures, but there yet are many chances for the individual miner in placers, in coal and in copper. The Yukon also is yearly producing more of her own needs, and thus is becoming more and more self.contained and self-sustain. ing. Yukon is one of the best lands in the world in which the industrious man can find himself broke. With the prospect of hard timse and wars outside, the man now in Yukon will do we'll to remain here, and those who are prospectors and can finance their way North with grubstake for year for a starter will find no more prom ising region for outdoor life, and no country teeming with richer virgin resources for whosoever will open them.-Dawson News.

THREATENING RAIN
 PREVENTS BASEBALL

Jupiter Pluvius had his innings yes terday and consequently there was no ball game. The Douglas-Treadwell team came over and goodly array of rooters from the island towns accom- panied them, including many fair fans, but a half hour before the time sched- uled for the game to commence the "Cordova mist" settled down over Gas tineau channel and the mistiness was too pronounced to contemplate play ing.
 It let up little, however, and ev- erybody went out to the grounds and then it commenced again. After a prolonged consultation it was de- cided that there would be no game. However, the crowd had continued to increase and despite the damp out look tenaciously hung around. Just to amuse the public the two teams en- gagged in few innings of practice. The work done shows that the teams have improved wonderfully since the last appearance on these grounds and a splendid showing may be expected during the coming season. As it turned out the capricious weather changed and real game could have been played had the management have decided so to do. The practice con tinued for five innings, at the termin' ation of which teh score was 4 to 3 Douglas.Treadwells favor, but Juneau was coming up strong at the end.
