INTEREST CAPITAL
 IN HOBO BAY MINE
E. c. Eckern Going to States t" In. terest Capital in Another Port
 Wells Property.

Edwin Eckern, wife and son, are outgoing passengers on the Aleu-eda. MT. Eckern has taken an option on the Hobo property which adioins the Granite mine on Hobo Bay, Pert Wells District, and is going outside to raise sufficient capital to further develop and equip the mine with suf.
 fcient reduction machinery.
 The Hobo group constitutes the or iginal locations which gave to Hobo
 Bay it's name, and is considered by
 mining men to be one of the best (showings in the Port Wells district. The owners of the property have proven, by tunnels and shafts asare gating several hundred feet, as well as by large amount of surface trenching that the vein contains shoots of exceptionally rich orc or the Hobo Bay side of the mountain During the past summer the vein hl' been traced across the divide to the Bettles Bay side where some excep- tionally rich ore is in evidence at the surface.
 The owners have heretofore refus- ed to set price on the property, pre- ferring to develop the same by their own efforts to such stage as would justify the min asking price some where near what they believed to be it's true value.
 The soundness of their judgment is proven by the work they have accom- plished, and further proof of their faith in the property as an ultimate producer is evidenced by the fact that every dollar of the purchase price is to be paid from relatively low per- centage of the output of the same.
 As MT. Eckern has been identified in promoting other mining enterprises in the district which have proven sue cessful: as he is familiar with, and thoroughly wide-awake to the latent possibilities of the district in general and the Hobo in particular, he should experience no difficulty in interesting the capital necessary to put the Hobo property on a producing basis.

thirty feet long and spans the stream bank to bank, the other is fifty feet long and necessitated center pier. The pier was constructed of cotton wood and rock and MT. Jaynes be- lieves that it will withstand any strain to which it may be subjected.
 The workmen have been camped at the lower end of the creek but moved camp yesterday to a point over the first hill and will begin work on the upper portion of the creek road. Twelve men are employed on the work.

VICTORIA WILL JOIN
 FLEET 0N THIS RUN
Kansas City Will Be Converted Into an Oil Burner Before Coming
 on Southwestern Run.

The local office of the Alaska Steamship company has received in- formation that the steamer Victoria, which is now making her last trip of the season to Nome, will be placed on the Alaskan run, probably leaving Sc attle the second week in November.
 The length of time Victoria will re- main on this run will depend upon the time consumed in getting the Kansas City into commission after she reaches Puget Sound, and the ar rival of the freighters Bennington and Burlington, now coming around the cape.
 The Victoria is the largest vessel engaged in the Alaskan trade, as well as one of the fastest ships in the Alaska service, and if copper ore ton mage continues to be offered in quan- titles as during the past few months, the Victoria may stay on the run all winter.
 The Kansas City will make splen- did addition to the Alaska fleet, as she is fast, has excellent passenger ac- commodations and is splendidly ar- ranged for coastwise travel. The Kansas City has been operating be- tween Portland and San Francisco for a number of years and was one of the popular boats on the run. It is understood that she will be con- verted into an oil burner before mak- ing her initial trip to Southwestern Alaskan ports.

JUNEAU IS CENTER FOR
 MINING PROPOSITIONS.

Mining men from all over Alaska are beginning to look upon Juneau as the center for financing their mining schemes. This fact is being demOn- strated every week as hardly boat arrives in Juneau without some pros pector or mine owner on board who is after financial assistance. They re- alize that the heads of the big com panies are in touch with the large capitalist centers of the east, Salt Lake, Denver, New York and Boston, and that if mining property receives the approval of any of them the mon- ey can easily be raised to handle the proposition. Capital Is looking to Alaska for mining investments and the men on the ground have the ad- vantage. Every mail brings it's Quo- ta of descriptions of mining proper ties and terms, asking for an investi- gation.
 That the Alaska Gastineau com pany and the Jackling interests are in the market for mining properties to develop is indicated by the fact that the company geologist is kept constantly on the go. Before the Jackling people invaded the Alaskan field there was little chance of get ting capital in Alaska for prospects. But the Jackling interests and other large companies now operating in and around Juneau are ready to give any prospector or mining man a hearing on what he has to offer.-Alaska and Northwest Mining Journal.

CRUSADE AGAINST CATS

here are some of the grave indictments against the
feline race 4. s.eI
"Over 100000 birds, many Of them Of rare and al
most extinct Species destroyed annually by CATS says
Gilbert Pearson secretary of the National Association of
Audubon societies. "There is no wild animal or bird of
prey this continent which compares in destrucveness
with the domestic cat 1t depopuaes the woods of our
native songsters and left alone will render silent every
grove in America. Game birds have suffered terribly
from its ravages vagrant and so-called domestcated
cats together destroy birds than all the other forces
in America combined"
He points out that the common view of cats as civilized
household pets is false The cat that sleeps by the fire in
the day time reyerts to its prmeya instincts at night and
becomes wild beast 1t abroad in search Of prey
And unfortunately its favorite prey consists chiefly of
our nsect-catching birds those most valuable to man

The city of Montcair N j. has taken action to lessen
this evil, together with the spreading of infectious

salvation for pussy to wear tag bearing her owners

it would result in the decmaon of the worthless cats and
a result, the repopuation of bird communities.
