AS an illustration of this it should be pointed out that those properties now being operated in this district have for many years past been operated and developed on a consider able scale so that an immense amount of data and material from such opera. tions. followed by further and more elaborate study. was available.
 It may be taken as an axiom that any new ventures of this sort under. taken will necessarily have to go through the same development period followed by the same elaborate inves- tigatton and study of all of the ele- ments making up such a proposition. viz, values, mining methods. economi- cal geology. tonnage. transportation. power and subsequent equipment and operation.
 Contemporaneously with the devel- opment of the Alaska Gastineau Min ing Company's property the adjoining properties of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company have likewise been organized. financed and a program contemplating the immediate con- struction of an eight thousand ton milling plant has been decided upon and is in course of construction. De Velopment work in the mine leading up to such program has been carried out for the past three and one-half years.
 Adjacent properties on both ends of the holdings of the two companies just mentioned are under consideration and receiving attention from outside capital.
 North of Juneau at the Kensington mine development work has been car ried out for the past two years and sufficient tonnage developed to war rant the initial installation of a five hundred ton milling plant, and sT- engagements are being made for such construction during the year 1916.
 Adjacent to the Kensington prop critics at Berners Bay, the Jualin mines are receiving the attention of capital and considerable development work has been and is being carried out.
 In the Eagle River district persist ent development work has been in progress for the past three years at tacking this district in depth and mill ing operations on a limited scale with plans fo. further improvements are in progress.

An Appreciation.

It was a fortunate day for Juneau when Bartlett l.. Thane came to AL aska. after graduating as a mining engineer from the University of Cal lfornia. an institution that has furn- ished this section with a great deal of the engineering ability that is fast transforming it into Americas great est gold producing center.
 About four years ago MT. Thane, after gaining practical experience and first-hand knowledge of local mining conditions through employ ment in his profession, undertook to

London, Sept. l4.-As war con-
tinucs. with British and German eX-
penditurcs for war alone reaching
total of probably f7,0OO,OOO a day
the outflow of surplus gold from
Europe to the United States and to
all neutral countries must increase.
Even Spain has taken about a MILL
ion dollars worth Of the precious
metal from London lately. Japan
will probably receive a great amount
from Russia in return for NUM-
tions. But what will happen when
gold becomes drug in neutral mar
kets and belligerents can offer moth
ing else in return for imports? see
from Japanese papers that Russo
Japanese merchant fleets, which car
nv on trade between Vladivostok
and Japan, after raising freight
rates. have insisted since August 10
that freights be paid in japanese
currency, thus avoiding the depre-
citation in the rublc. Gradual dis
sipation of great European gold
boards. together with excessive IS
sues of inconvertible paper on the
Continent. may have upon gold an
effect similar to that denomination
had upon silver after 1870. Gold
NAV become cheap and purchasing
power may fall further. Gold prices
will rise, and after the war or per-
haps before its end the double con-
sequence of rising prices and dimln-
ished demand for labor will cause
universal discomfort among the poor.
To-day's meeting of Parliament,
following the Trade Union Congress,
will clear the political air. Conflicts
in the Cabinet over CONSUMPTION may
be delayed till finance is settled and
the Dardanelles issue decided.
The budget is the principal dish.
The chief contribution to now taxa
ton will probably be through the in
men prefer to death duties. One
hundred millions in new taxes are
freely predicted. Prolongation OF
war makes public and private econo-
mics essential.
According to The Times Lloyd
Georges criticism of trade unions
has produced resentment. Peril of
overstraining industrial workers
was emphasized at British Associa-
ton meetings. Overwork usually
means more strikes rather than in
creased production. Government
factory inspectors drew attention to
this aspect apparently overlooked
by Lloyd George, who IS now the
prophet of compulsion and conscrip-

Sisseton.-The wet faction of this
place, after winning favorable decii
sion from Judge Bouck, received an
other jolt from the board of county
commissioners of Roberts county when
that body refused to approve the bonds
of the two successful applicants, and
for this reason the town will still re-
main dry.
1t is understood that the vets will
carry the matter through the courts
again, but as yet no steps in this di-
rection have been taken.
The history of the saloon fight here
is most interesting one. At me
election held here last spring, the vets
drys contested the result and demand
ed a recount, but this did not change
the result.
Then the board of county commits
sioners called for applications. ST:
were brought in at the regular meet
ing, but as there was no one present
to offer objections the board deferred
action Until the following meeting,
when the applications of two were
approved.
Then the drys secured an injunction
against the board from granting Ii
censes On the grounds that the two IA
vored applications were approved at
other than regular meeting. Judge
Bouck has just handed down a deci-
sion dissolving the injunction and
holding that the board was wholly
within it's rights in tabling action on
the applications until an adjourned
meeting.
The day following this decision the
board met to approve the bonds of the
two applicants, and promptly turned
down all bonds, leaving the city still
in the dry column.
