Probably the strongest appeal which
the school will make to the women
Of Davenport and vicinity will be the
ability to teach them to do their own
dressmaking, enabling every woman
to wear tailored clothes of her own

what the same garments would cost

That means either OF two very de-

JACKSON SAYS THEY
 LOOK GOOD TO HIM

P. E. Jackson, baseball impresarlo and manager of the Juneau team, has carefully inspected the timber brought North by Denny Molloy who did the cruising for him, and MT. Jackson says each article looks good to him. The only thing that is wearing on Mir. Jackson's nervous system now is the selection of the other members of the team and getting harminious working machine out of the combin- ation.
 It seems that Denny Molloy com mitted grand larceny or something very near it-stole Q large portion of Big Bill Hurley's Twilight leaguers who were playing exhibition games in the Sound metropolis. And when an Alaskan can steal anything in Seattle and get away with 1t he is certainly going some. Any way the boys are here, and because Denny stole them, the ownership in them is contemplat- ed by Juneau fans with added joy.
 It was hoped to keep the real iden- titles of these stolen articles secret, but naughty Jameson went and told on them. But it would have come out sooner or later anyway. The fact is Juneau has picked up some mighty classy baseball timber. and If they take kindly to the Juneau climate and like the place which they all say they do, Juneau will stand a good chance of winning from the Island boys this season.
 At present the matter of getting suitable employment for the boys Is receiving attention. In the mean time they are eating their hot cakes regularly at Tom Radonich's Alaska Grill. Tom is never satisfied unless he has some ball tossers around.

Agent s. H. Ewing, of the Pacific Coast company, has received advices that the Pacific Coast Coal company will establish an Alaska agency with H. c. Wilbur in charge who will have Juneau for his headquarters. Mir. VII bur will probably come north on the Spokane sailing from Seattle tomor- row.
 The Pacific Coast Coal company which is subsidiary company of the Pacific Coast company has recently completed mammoth coal briquette factory at Seattle and the product is now being placed on the market. The coal briquettes are said to give won- derfully good satisfaction for domes. tic purposes, being free from annoy ing dust that accompanies the use of ordinary lump coal. It is also said to burn up clean, leaving light ash.
 Mir. Wilbur will introduce the prod uct to Juneau fuel consumers.

BUYING IN
 ALASKA GOLD STOCKS

On April 16, according to adyices received from Boston, the stocks of the Alaska Gold Mines company, which Is the holding company of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Co.,, was the feature in the days trading and reach. ed the top point of 27&. The sales on the Boston market that day amounted to 14,533 shares and rep
 reBented nearly ione-half the total stock sales for the day.
 The circular letter issued by Hay den Stone & Co.,, of April r contains the following regarding the develop ment work of the Alaska Gastineau Mining company:
 "A couple of weeks ago we describ- ed, in a general way developments that had recently taken place in the lower levels of the mine. It will be remembered that the bottom of the shaft of the Sheep Creek tunnel is several hundred feet in the footwall, and to make connections between this and the Sheep Creek tunnel cross-cutting across the footwall for nation is necessary. This footwall formation had not been developed to any great extent In the upper levels, and was not supposed to be mineral bearing. It is, therefore, particularly gratifying that this penetrated about 100 feet of gold-bearing material. Not only this, but for distance of 10 feet or more, the values have run very high indeed, we'll into the hundreds of dollars per ton.
 Tt is hardly necessary to say that this is as gratifying as it is surpris- ing. We do not wish to give the i'm pressIon that any very great ton. mage of this high-grade ore could req sonably be expected to be developed, as Alaska is essentially low.grade mine, but, nevertheless, this develop ment is most satisfactory, as 1t indi- cates the presence of at least some high-grade ore, which will go far to "sweeten up" the average of the whole.
 Aside from this there has also been developed on the upper levels an entirely new ore body to the north of the main lode, which has been de- veloped for a considerable distance and shows great width and values of around S3 a ton.
 "In short, all these developments have not only materially extended the limits of the ore body, but there Is a strong probability that the average grade will be well above the early es- timates."
