ONE SHEEP CREEK
 MILL BUILDING UP

With the exception of the rivetting, which was begun Saturday, the stee! erection is completed on the coarse ore crushing plant of the Alaska Cas- tipeau Mining company's great ore reduction works at Sheep creek. The structure is located at an elevation Of 700 feet above the water of Gastineau channel. It is 100 feet square and rises to a height of 1SO feet above it's con crete foundations. Thomas McCurnin' who was sent out by the Kansas City Structural Steel company to take charge of the erecting, has his crew doing great team work, and will soon be finished with this part of the plant,
 c. E. BrouGre is in charge of the enire mill construction and now has the forms set for the pouring of con crete for the foundations of the fine crushing plant. This will be an i'm mense building erected at an elevation of PIP feet above the sea and 400 feet from the ore pocket which is almost directly beneath the coarse crushing plant. It will be S6O feet in length, 75 feet wide, and rise to height of 16O feet.
 The concentrating plant will be im- mediately adjoining the fine crush ing plant and the forms for the foun- dation are also being set for this building. It will also be very large structure. 4O5 feet long, lSO feet wide and 50 feet high.
 All told it requires 5000 tons of structural steel for the three build ings and 15,OOO cubic yards of con- crete for the foundations. The steel is already shipped for the entire works and more than half of it is on the ground. It is anticipated that there will be no loss of time and that the buildings will be finished early in the summer.
 The ore pocket which is being hewn out in the mountain will have storage capacity for 7,5OC tons of ore. It is being connected with the coarse crush ing plant by an up-raise which will be fitted with ore chutes. It is already connected with the fine crushing plant with an inclined tunnel through which it is intended to operate immense ore conveyor belts.
 Mir. Brouffe says that the ore reduc- tion works now being erected at Sheep creek will be one of the best in the United States. The same idea dom mating al lof the mills on Col. D. c. Jachkling's properties is being worked out here. There are no stamps. All of the crushing is done by a system of rolls and jaw crushers. From the time the ore strikes the tipples at the top of the coarse crushing plant until it emerges from the concentrators it is handled automatically. It is estimated that there will be 100 tons of concen. trates from each days run of 6,OOO tons of ore.

sITKA FIRE BURNS
 VALUABLE RECORDS

Priceless volumes and manuscripts bearing on the early history of Alas ka and many valuable oil paintings were destroyed with the burning of the historic government warehouse in Sitka on April 25, according to Rev. Father George Sergius Kostrometin' off who is now in Juneau and guest of the Occidental hotel.
 "These volumes were gathered to- gether," said Father Kostrometlnoff, "by the Rev. Father Anthony, who was commissioned to do the work by Gov. John G. Brady. For two years he searched over St. Petersburg, Kief, Moscow and other places, collecting rare books dealing with the early oc- cupation of Alaska by the Russians and gathered also many valuable man. uscripts which had not yet been placed in print. The entire collection was stored in the government ware house and a large portion of 1t was left there from the time that Gov. H. B. Hoggat moved the capital from Sit ka to Juneau. There are no dupli- cates of the burned documents and the loss is therefore irretreivable.
 "The oil paintings were rare works of art, some of which were on exhibi- ton at the Alaska Yukon exposition in Seattle in 1909. These, too, are a total loss."
 Much of the history collected by Rev. Father Anthony had been translated from the Russian into English by Wa bakoff, and Father Kostrometinoff cat alogued 1t all.
 History of Warehouse.
 The ware house that was destroyed through the careless flnging of a light ed cigar, has itself very interesting history. It was built in 1852, during the administration of Gov. Adolph Et- olin. With the transfer of Alaska to the United States, in 1867, 1t contin. ued to serve in the same capacity. It was large two-story structure and has been one of tho show places for tourists. It was built of hewn logs.
 Is Called to New York
 Archbishop Platon, head of the Greek church in America, has been recalled to become Archbishop of Kish- eneff in Basaraibia, Southern Russia, near the Persian border. Bishop Al. exander of New York, has been placed in temporary charge of the Church's fairs in America. Rev. Father George Sergius Kostrometinoff, of the Greek Catholic Church in Sitka, has been called to New York, where he will be in conference with Bishop Alexander over church affairs in Alaska.
 Father Kostrimetinoff arrived in Ju. neau on the last trir of the Georgia and will take passage on the Spokane for the South enroute to New York. He hopes to return about the last of June.
 Speaking of his journey Father Kos. trometinoff said: 'T have been called to New York on account of the change in the administration of church affairs in America. The recall of Archbishop Platon has placed the burden tempo. rarily on Bishop Alexander, who con. templated coming to Alaska this year In fact arrangements had been made for him to meet a revnue cutter at Unalaska in June. This journey will of necessity now have to be abandoned by him. have been called to meet him in conference in New York"

Huerta May Resign.

MEXICO CITY. May 4.-The situa- tion in Mexico City has every appear ance of becoming serious for the ad' mlnistration. In well informed cir cles it is expected that Provisional President Huerta might resign at any moment.
 The populace is becoming greatly discontented. The Constitutionalists are increasing the area of their con trol in the North. and the American occupation of Vera Cruz is interfering with the commercial interests of the city to such an extent that the actual Incapacity of Gen. Huerta to restore order out of chaos is being brought home to the people as never before.

Wilson After Huerta.

WASHINGTON. May At is re- garded as certain here that President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan have intimated very plainly to the en- voys of the South American countries who are acting as intermediates in the Mexican matters that Huerta must vacate his position as dictator and that there will be little likelihood of the removal of any of the American forces from that country as long as he is at the head of affairs at the Nation al capital.
 The growing unpopularity of Huerta in Mexico City, it is believed, will add to the probability that his removal from the situation may be accomplish ed easier than 1t was hoped a few days ago.
