NOTED RUSSIAN
 METALLURGIST HERE

Prof. Henry s:Tschetschott mining engineer and professor of ore dress ing and gold metallurgy, and connect ed with the Mining Institute of St. Petersburg, Russia, is now in Juneau and is a guest of the Hotel Cain.
 Prof. Tschetschott Is making study of the mines of the United States for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the technique as applied in this country. He has been pretty much over the United States and declares that the Juneau section offers unusual advantages for study along this line. He has visited the Treadwell mines, the Perseverance, and the mill con structlon at Thane, and today will visit the Alaska Juneau properties, and will also inspect the Ebner mine if possi' ble.
 eIn Russia" he said, we have not such large deposits of ore, most of the gold ore being in small veins but with relatively high values. It Is a reyel- ation," he said, ito know that ore can be mined and milled at the low cost which obtains here. There is proba- bly not another place in the world where the cost of operation has been brought so low. This is due to the wonderful system maintained through out in the operating departments and to the great advance in mining meth ods."
 Prof. Tschetschott will leave Juneau on the Jefferson for Skagway enroute to Dawson, Fairbanks and Nome. He expects to devote the greater part Of the summer to the Northland. From Nome he will sail for Seattle and di- rectly home via New York. Madame Tschetschott is accompanying her hus- band on the present journey and takes a keen interest in her husbands work.

JUNEAU TWENTY
 ONE YEARS AGO

A 2l-year.old copy of the Alaska Journal, published in Juneau in the early sos by E. 0, Sylvester, was pick. ed up by John Vim and George c. Burford few days ago. A careful perusal of the publication, dated July P. 1893, throws interesting lights on the Juneau of that time, and Alas. kan conditions as they were then.
 Only a few who are yet doing bus. ness in Juneau are among the adver. tisers in the paper, and while familiar names appear in the news columns most of them have passed out of the city's life.
 The editorial and news columns of the publication disclose that public school affairs were among the mat. ters that occupied the attention of the people, and in that and other discus. sions it is evident that Juneauites thought at that time that they had passed from the prospecting and ex perimental era into that of develop. ed mining center. Local home gov. ernment was urged by the Journal in school matters, and the argument ad vanced was one that is familiar to those who knew E. O. Sylvester as a champion of full Territorial govern ment for the Territory a few years later
 Fisheries Development Started.
 The fisheries industry and locations for canneries and other fishing plants were just becoming to be matters oi local interest in Juneau in 1893, and in the first advertisement to appear in the paper. the profession card oi "John F. Malony, Attorney-at-Law," Is the legend: Mining claims and fishing sites bought and sold"
 Occupying choice place among tho advertisers appears that of "B. M Behrends, Dealer in General Merchan disc"
