BIG DEVELOPMENT
 NEARLY FINISHED

The first construction period of the Alaska. Gastineau Mining company is rapidly growing to Q close, and with it there ls beginning a recession In pay rolls so far as the immediate flu. ture is concerned.
 The central 300 feet of the great lm- bounding dam at Salmon creek has reached it's ultimate height and the night crew hRs been laid off. If noth- ing serious lnteryenes. on or before August l, the construction equipment will have been removed and the water turned in.
 At Perseverance the mine develop ment program of blocking out in the way of sinking, drifting, and raising will be largely finished within the next SO days. Supt. Fl. c. Jackson has been doing about $500 feet hard rock development work each month. A' ter this development Is finished the force will commence stoping for the purpose of providing ore tonnage for the big reduction works. The con structlon work at Perseverance is all finished.
 At Sheep creek the main camp Is completed as far as will be carried out this year. The construction on the ore reduction works is progressing rapidly. The concrete foundations are complete for the coarse crushing plant. the fine crushing plant, and for the concentrating mill. A large num- Der of men engaged in this work have been laid of. The buildings are be- ing erected by contract and the steel workers have already finished erect Ing the coarse crushing plant and are now assembling the steel for the fine crushing plant and concentrating mill. As soon as this work is complete the crews will leave for the States.
 Speaking of the Alaska-Gastineau company's operations here General Manager B. L. Thane today said: we are rapidly finishing what Is known as the first constructive stage, accord ing to the program laid out As this period proceeds we will have to lay on men and diminish the crews until the operative stage begins.
 "At the start we will begin operat- ing with one section only, then iE or der the second. third, and fourth sec tions will be brought to life, but 1t will require at least six months before the mill will be in complete opera tlon after 1t starts.
 After the mill is running properly the company will undoubtedly contin- ue it's construction program"
 Referring to the effect of mine de- velopment and mine operations on the welfare of Juneau, Mir. Thane said: "We have a good community here and we want to keep 1t right. It has the right kind of mines behind it, and the right kind of natural resources. We should act sanely, and be careful not to overdo things and create an un- healthy condition"
