If your mineral collec~ ton is short of any particular ores and 1 have some on hand VIII be glad to send you speci- men samples for the reason that it helps materially the prospector and miner to famil- iarize himself with ores which enables him at a glance to rec ognise ores and help develop the country.
 Yours Truly.

WE ARE FIRST AS USUAL

A recent copy of the Juneau Dispatch takes considerable credit to that tow, over the fact that one of thu business houses there was installing some of the Edison Mazda Nj trogen electric globes, taking the credit for having the first i'll Alaska. Ketchikan, Alaska first city, has had several of these lamps in use now for some time so it would be well for our Juneau friends to re- member that there is town down this way more prOgres- sive and up to date than Puneau has ever dared hoped to be especially when it comes to modern buildings and an up t, date electric light service.

Transportation men of Seat tie, basing their estimates on the increase of Alaska's bus mess this year over that of last year, believe that the trade be- tween Alaska and the States this year will reach grand total of SiO0,00O,o00 in- crease Of 10 per cent.
 George Nelson, a we'll known Dawson barber, joined the stampede to the Sixty mile recently and staked a claim of 300 feet on the Canadian side of the line and another of l. 320 feet on the Alaskan side. The two claims are contiguous, thus giving Nelson a stretch of i,S20 feet, the largest tract of placer in the North which is not ir-a discovery claim or an old-style group. Nelson left this week with his dogs and is hurrying to his claims to rep- resent them at once. He could have staked claims on the Can- adian side further down the Sixty mile, but preferred to get next to the boundary, and thus have one contiguous strip, comprising the big interna- tional claim.

Telling the troubles of the local sawmill the Petersburg Progressive says: The South Pacific Lumber & Box Co.,, of Seattle, organized early this spring for the purpose of talk ing over the Pacific Coast X Norway Packing Co.'s saw mill. The officers of the new com- pany, however, have failed mis- erably to carry out their part of the contract and have fin ally withdrawn from the field. From the very beginning the new company had no valid reason to exist. It apparently started on shoestring and consequently could not hold out. They sent men to work in the mill at prohibitive wages taking security from the men in the way of cash money with the promise of a lasting job. After a few weeks every work ing man in the employ of the new company was left to shift for himself without a penny. The loggers were left without cent for their logs. The re- suit was that the P. c. & NIP. Co.,, had to step in and take over the mill. With that end in view Mir. Kildall, general manager of the old company, arrived on the Dolphin with competent mill men who will take charge of the mill.
