A Bie Dam

The Alaska Gastineau Mining com pany's impouudinR dam at Salmon creek is practically completed and the machinery used in it's construction is being removed from the premises. All that remains to be finished is the spil way and the plugging up of the service arch that was left through which the cement trains passed during the con- struction period.
 The completion of this dam is the continuation of the immense project begun in June, 1912. The dam is one of the largest concrete structures of that nature in the country and is by far the greatest in Alaska. It is built at the uarrows of the upper basin of Salmon creek at an elevation of about 600 feet above sea level.
 The dam itself reaches a height of ITO feet from it's foundations in the center. It is of the constant central angle or variable radius arch type, with a radius of 100 feet at the bottom and changing gradually to 325 feet at the top. It 4715 feet thick at the bottom and tapers to 6 feet at the top. It at. tains a length of 675 feet at it's top, meeting the gradually rising natural walls of the basins side.
 It required 53,OOO cubic yards of con- crete to build this immense wall. The pouring of the concrete was from tower which reached a height of 250 feet before the work was done. The first concrete was poured in the last week of July, last year, but operations had to be stopped during the winter months, although 36,5OO yards were poured last season. This year work was resumed April a.
 A.P. Davis, the eminent engineer of the U. S. reclamation service, visited the work last year and pronounced it one of the great undertakings of the country as we'll as an ideal dam site. TLe dam wTl act as a storage reservoir and impound 19OOO acre feet of water which will serve two power plants, one in the lower basin of Salmon creek and the other at the beach.-Empire.

 The Douglas Island and Juneau ball teams went up to Skagway on the Georgia Saturday night to give the peO- pie of the Windy City a chance to wit ness a real ball game, and from all re- ports they delivered the goods. The Skagway people are what might be called a bunch of good sports, and for many years maintained a team of their own that was a terror to all of South eastern Alaska. So it is not necessary to state that they fully appreciated the exhibition given by the Gastineau channel teams. For eleven innings they struggled for supremacy, until finally Juneau grabbed the winning run, mak- ing the score-Juueau 2, Douglas l. Pittman pitched fo, the Islanders and was in good form. Ford, for Juneau, lasted eight innings, when Hester took the job. Dahl, of Douglas, pleased bis friends by getting four safe hits. A large nun Der of local fans accompanied the teams, and they all unite in saying that it was some game.
