Mining in Southeastern Alaska

Mining in Southeastern Alaska
 Bulletin No. 592-A, issued under the authority of the department of the in terior by the United States geological survey and compiled by Alfred H. Brooks, contains the following inter- es'ing statements in regard to the mining industry in Southeastern Alaska:
 Seven lode gold mines, about four placer-gold mines, and three copper mines were operated on a productive basis in Southeastern Alaska in 1913. Far more important was the extensive development of lode mines in the Ju. ueau district and, to a lesser extent, in the Berners bay region. The operating mines produced POI, ,36O ounces of gold, valued at s4,229,648; 29,211 ounces of silver, valued at Sl7743; and 5999O3 pounds of copper, valued at S92,9S5 A total of 1, ,5s9,746 tons of gold ore and 7,276 tons of copper ore was hoisted in 1913.
 Juneau District.-The extensive min ing developments, continued at Juneau during the year, bid fair to make it the center of one of the largest gold pro- ducing districts on the continent. While in 1913 only the four mines of the Treadwell group were operated on a productive basis, a large amount of development work was done on several other properties.
 The ore of the Alaska Treadwell mine was taken chiefly from the 75O, 1250, l45O, and 1900 foot levels, but develop ments were made on the 21OO foot level. The central shaft was sunk to a depth of 227O feet. At the Alaska Mexican mine the ore came chiefly from the HOO, 12lO, 1920 and 146O foot levels. Most of the ore of the Ready Bullion mine was recovered from the 1900, 1850, 1900 and 2OOO foot levels, and the most important dead work consisted of a shaft and the extension ofthe 220O-foot level. The ore of the Seven Hundred Foot mine was taken chiefly from the 11OO, 12lO and 1920 foot levels; the dead work consisted of the sinking of a shaft and developments on the 145O, 1870 and 2lOO foot levels. Work was continued on the Nugget Creek power project.
 The driving of the adit tunnel of the Alaska Gastineau Co., was vigo ously pushed throughout the year. Work was also continued on No. 1 shaft of the old Perseverance mine. These two work ings were connected in April, 1914, thus giving an outlet, on one hand, to the surface at the Perseverance mine, and, on the other, to a point near sea level at Sheep creek. The adit is by 10 feet and 1O,5OO feet long. Meanwhile much development work has been done on the fifth to the tenth levels, inclusive, of the Perseverance mine, and mill con- struction and other surface improve ments are we'll under way. One power plant on Salmon creek for this enter prise is completed, and work on sec. ond was continued during the year as the weather conditions permitted.
 The Snowslide Gulch adit of the Alaska Juneau mine, 6,538 feet in length, was completed. A raise was then started which reached the surface in March. 1914. A working level was also started. A tram was built from the portal to the mill site near Juneau, where the first unit ofa large reduction plant is approaching completion, and

EXPRESS FOLKS
PREPARING FOR
CHRISTMAS RUSH
AMERICUS AGENCY IS BUSY AND
USUAL SWIFT AND SURE SER
VICE ASSURED.

| While the parcel post gets its full
share of the handling of holiday
packages the reliable and ever popu-
lar express service will, as usual, do
an enormous business during the next
three or four weeks. To the end of
rendering his service swift, sure and
satisfactory, Agent Garner, of the
Americas agency Of the Southern Elk
press Co., has provided every possible
facility, and asks only the patronage
and cooperation of the public to that
end:
The company has just issued the
following general reminder" which is
of interest in Americas as elsewhere
in the vast territory covered:
This is a season which brings us
in large numbers people who do not
use express service at any other pc
Rod of the year 1t is a golden OPP
portunity to make friends. A dispo-
sition to serve and courtesy under all
conditions, will make for your success
and the successful conduct of the hol-
iday business.
Serve the public has been adopt
ed as our slogan and we want to give
our regular patrons, and those who
turn to us at this season to perform
personal commissions in the delivery
of their holiday offerings, the best
service that the company can render.
Much of the holiday traffic is han
died under stress, the larger volume
confined to a few days, but bear in
mind that we should never be too busy
to be polite, to assist patrons to use
our service, and handle carefully the
matter entrusted to u.s."
OF equal importance is the large
placard conspicuously posted in the
Americas Office of the company with
reference to the early shipment of
Christmas presents.
In order to relieve the congestion of
traffic always in evidence during
Christmas week the company is urg-
ing early Christmas shipments, and
to obviate the possibility of a prema-
ture opening of these packages in
tended for Christmas gifts is furnish
ing red labels to be attached to each
shipment, with the wording in bold
letters:
DO Not Open Until Christmas"
1t is believed that these two an
will do much to facili-
tate the prompt and proper handling
Of Christmas packages.

ADVISES FARMERS
AGAINST selling
GEORGIA CATTLE
Heavy Demand in the State May Hurt
Cattle Industry.

Sumter county is waking up to the
importance of raising cattle, and far
mers throughout the Americas terri
tory will do we'll to heed the advice
of Prof. Milton P. Jarnigan, head of
the department of animal industry of
the Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture, who warns farmers of Georgia
against selling heifers or COWS to
packers who are now buying every
thing they can lay their hands on in
the south to ship to slaughter houses
and convert them into canned beef for
the warning armies of the world.
One large packing house has lust
shipped 10000 cattle from south Geor-
gia and north Florida. They are in
ferior cattle, of course, and are not
bringing top prices. They are, how
ever, suited for canning.
Prof. Jarnigan says that the COWS of
the south are worth vastly more as re-
producers of their kind than they can
ever be as canned beef, and that If
care is not exercised the boosted foun-
dation for live stock industry in the
south will disappear with the cattle
cars. To sell golden eggs, or in other
words, make it impossible to repro
duce the traffic and revenue, is to sell
the females.
Not only has there been heavy ship
ments by all the packing houses on
account of the canned beef industry
but Prof. Jarnigan says that the west
and north are still buying for beef and
for a foundation for breeding stock
and are drawing heavily on sections
of the south. On account of the de-
preston of cotton, the temptation to
sell the cattle as we'll as all others
has to be met.
To lose the foundation of the fu-
ture beef industry of the south would
be the most harmful blow that the war
could infict upon the south, says
Prof. Jarnagin.

Falling Shrapnel Fails to End
Soldiers Row Over Captured Pig

LONDNO, Dec. 2-"Very little scares

from the Woevre. The Germans are

carrion crows to leave. Last night we

like 'patapoum, patapoum.' Was it a

us, or outposts Feturning with some
warning. l peered into the darkness

"a fat pig. He was more frightened
