CALLAHAN SAYS HE WAS
 NOT AT INDIAN MEETING

There was some little excitement in Aux village last night over the fact that some holes had been dug in the tidelands in front of the Indian settle ment. Attorney A. B. Callahan denies the rumor that he was chairman of an Indian meeting held in the village last night. or even present, but admits that he is attorney for a number of h. dian property holders.
 He frankly states that he has ad- vised them that they have all the rights that exist to the tidelands in question and that 1t is his purpose to protect these rights while their at torney. Mir. Callahan gives 1t as his opinion that the baseball association may make satisfactory arrangements with his clients for the use of the tide lands for ball grounds and in like manner the city government can make provision for the construction of a highway over the tidelands. Every thing can be done satisfactory he says if the matter is approached from the proper angle.

SEATTLE MILLIONAIRE
 IS JUNEAU BOOSTER

q have seen more opportunities for capital to be profitably invested since I have been in Juneau, than I have seen in many a day" said R. c. Me. Cormick, the wealthy Seattle real es. tate owner, and hotel man. "If min ing town down in the States had as much behind it as Juneau has 1t would have 10000 to SO,OOO inhabitants, and 1t is only question of time until Ju. neau will have that many"
 Among the institutions that Mir. Me Cormick says would yield good returns in Juneau would be a central heating station and apartment houses for the accommodation of those that live here.
 Juneau is the capital of Alaska" said Mir. Mccormick, "and the impetus of that and the location of big min ing properties right at it's door will give it will make it the center of Alaskan activities for many years probably as long as anyone who is now iu his prime will live. All lines of traffic must necessarily center here, at least as far as Southeastern Alas. ka and tributary country is concerned The town is stable, and know no bet ter place for investment"
 Mir. Mccormick is pioneer Of the West, and was in at the birth of many of the mining centers, including those of Montana, Nevada and Colorado Be. ginning as a boy with nothing but courage. a strong character and good ability. he accumulated fortune, and today is one of the largest real es' tate owners in Seattle, including among his holdings several of the down town business blocks. Recent ly he built and furnished the fire proof, ten.story New Richmond hotel, one of the largest hostelries in Seat. tie, on one of his own lots.
 While in Juneau Mir. Mccormick has been renewing old friendships of pion' eer days in other parts of the West. He takes great delight in discussing the days of their youth with w. A. Irwin, Sam. Williamson and other cronies of the long ago in the Rocky Mountain mining states.
 MT. Mccormick will leave for the South on the Princess Maquinna to- night.

KoYUKUK MYSTERY
 STILL UNsoLVEo

From information now at hand there seems to he a well founded belief that three persons who start ed from Wiseman, on the Koyukuk river September 10, 1912 for the out side via the Yukon river and St. Mich ael were foully dealt with. On the date mentioned Tommy Johnson, alias the 'Blueberry Kid" in company with John Homberg, Miss Marie Smidt, and Frank Adams, embarked at Wiseman in the gasoline launch Seal Pup for St. Michael. Since that date nothing has been seen of the launch nor any of the party except the "Blueberry Kid" who is known to have bought a ticket from St. Michael to Seattle on October l2.
 According to information since ob' tained the "Blueberry Kid" took pas sage on a river barge at Ruby in com pany with a French woman. They quarrelled and separated at St. Mich aels. The fact seems to be estab' Iished that this woman was at one time located at Wiseman and had had some trouble up there. She and the "Blueberry Kid" are said to have quar- relied over some gold dust which he charged her with stealing.
