Larger Than Treadwen


 The fame of the TreadweH mines on Douglas Island is known wherever men delve into the hard rock in search of gold or other treasure. The Tr-adwell is known as the largest low grade quartz mine. Year after year we hear of new discoveries, and many of them, especially here in the North. are first announced as "larger than TreadweIL" Asa measure of size, the great Tread we'll has stood first for many years.
 But at last the greatness of Tread we'll is to be eclipsed, and it's mills are to be second to another plant, almost within a stones throw-the Alaska Juneau.
 The development of the Alaska Ju. neau mine has been going ahead for years, but it Is only within recent years that it's greatness has been gen. orally known. For a long time it was called the "Little Trsadwell" Now the plans are completed and work has begun ou a milling plant that will handle 100000 tons ot rock per yeai, or abou, two and one half times as much as TreaIvell This sounds pretty bic. bu' nt have as cur author ity Che word of r. ". Bradley, p.esi dent of he Alaska Juneau company and also president of the Treadwell company. Mir. Bradley is the man who looks for all the world like Presi- dent Wilson, aud, like him, he has 8 faculty for doing things. He has been in Alaska all summer and has per- Gected the plans for the new under taking in every detail. When we say every detail we believe we are stating the exact truth, that nothing has been omitted.
 When Mr. Bradley stated that the capacity of the four new mills Go be built Juneau vouid reach such an enormous figure, he was asked, "What will you do with the taiiiugsi" Mir. Bradley was ready to answer at once and pointed out on the plat of workings large tsiliug pond on the beach below the mills. and another at Sheep creek, to which tailings may be carried through a Hume. As for waste rock, plans are already made to pile it on barges and baulit out and dump it in the deep, blue sea. We don't speak of this as a vitally important feature, but as an example of the care with which every detail has been worked out.
 When this great mine and milling plant is working, employing thousands of men, Juneau with its contracted little towusite, will be crowded to over flowing. Then we expect that large numbers of workmen will make their homes in Douglas, crossing the chan nel to their work iu the morning and back at night to their pleasant homes on Douglas Island. So we are con vinced that tbe prosperity that comes to one part of Gastineau channel will be felt by alL

MISSISSIPPI NEEDS
new BANKING LAW
Al DOZEN FAILURES WITHIN PAST
YEAR POINT OUT WEAKNESS.
Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars Lost
to the People Because of Lack Of
Proper Bank Supervision

JacicsoR--Ihe dozen or so bank
kailures which have occurred in Missis-
aippi during the past twelve months or
40, and the trial, conviction and sentepc-
ing to the penitentiary of men response
ble for their downfall; the number OF
neR who are now under Indictment or
who stand a chance therefor, tend to
exystallize the attention of the state to
she absolute necessity for a more rigid
check on these institutions. The trend
Of thought at the present time 10 to mold
q sentiment or rather q demand upon
che legislature to quit pickering over de-
tails, which prevented the enactment of
q bank supervision law in 1919, and get
together and pass law creating the po-
sition of bank examiner, backed up by
q clear, unequivocal law and regulations.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars, it is
asserted by those who have given the
sabject attention, have been lost to the
people of the state, for the very reason
sAat there is no adequate system of SUI
peTvision.

says in his report:
'In 1911, for the first time since 1888,
postal receipts exceeded postal expend-
iturea, leaving surplus instead of a
deficit. A heavy loss of revenue in 1912,
due to the extraordinary amount OF

campaign, created temporary deficit,
but since the close of the fiscal year the
income of the department again has out
stripped expenses.
@The year preceding the present ad-
ministration was marked by the largest
postal deficit on record. amounting to
e17, soc, 900. During the next two years
the deficit was greatly reduced and later
