Douglas Island news., 1915-10-13

DED.-Rsppaele Neratini, a native of Italy, aged 23 years, was killed at Gyp- sum, on Sunday, Oct. Sd, when a quan- tity of lum Der fell on him from a sling. The body was brought to Douglas, and funeral services were held, from the Catholic church on Friday afternoon at 9 o'clock. Deceased was well known on the Island, aud a large crowd attended the service and followed the remains to their last resting place at the Doug. las cemetery.
 Axel Nelson, a native ofSweden, aged about 27 years, was the victim of a fatal accident in Douglas, Sunday night. He had elevated his boat on the beach to make some repairs. In some manner the blocking slipped aud the boat fell on the unfortunate man, crushing the life out of him. He was alone at the time. Nelson was a carpenter by trade and had been a resident of Douglas for about two years. Funeral services were held this afternoon at H.V. Sully's Un- dertaking Parlors.
 On Monday evening Miss Elva Kirk ham was agreeably surprised by party given by Juveruia Henderson and Rica Martini, the occasion being her thir- teeuth birthday. The evening was spent in various amusements, followed by light refreshments. Those present were the Misses Impi Aalto, Etta Brown, Ju- veruia Henderson, Elizabeth Feusi, Ed ma Liljestraud, Margaret and Agnes Livie, Mary and Rica Martini, the Messrs. Frank and Cecil Bach, Martin Gallwas, Herman Guis, Daniel Tender son, John Hopper, Walter Jackson and Elmer Palmbom.
 E. .J. Margrie, of the Juneau Ferry & Navigation Company, is said to be se- curing capital for the establishment of a can factory in Douglas Tho Ferry Company has a large building on it's dock in Douglas, formerly used as a fish house, that would no doubt be very suitable for such a purpose. We are told that the salmon canuers of this part of Alaska would be glad to patron ize such an establishment, as it would save them the expense of bringing their working force North a month or six weeks before the opening of the can ming season. Anything that gives em ployment to labor should have the as sistauce aud support of the business men of the community.

The Treadwell pool was surrounded by an eager crowd last Thursday night to witness the very interesting water carnival there. Although the events were open to all, the prizes with very few exceptions went to the Treadwell boys.
 Mir. A. Murray has been heard from again. He writes from Boston, Mass9 to his nephew here that the city of cul- ture has changed considerably in the past forty years. Mr.. Murray will visit relatives in New Brunswick, and will probably be back in Douglas about the first of November.
 Undertaken II. V. Sully has completed a neat morgue and chapel at his place on Front street At the rear the morgue is arranged with view to perfect clean Illness and sanitation The little chapel is neat and tasty in appearance. It has seats and is often used for holding tu- nerals where the attendance IS not large.
 Several Douglas citizens have been arrested and dragged over to Juneau to answer to the charge of complicity in the robbiug of the deserted wreck of the Abler We are informed, however, that the action was hastily brought and unless greater evidence develops, the defendants will be dismissed with a blessing.
 Look out. Just before the storms of winter begin, before the cold of winter demands roaring fire in the stove, is good time to give all stovepipes and chimueys a proper looking over. A few cents spent now for a joint of stove pipe may save a fire later an and per haps the loss of your home. Douglas has a good fire department, but that nasty salt water just ruins carpets and curtains.

INDISCR|M|NATE SYSTEM DENOUNCED

Taking the ground that criminal
is not a normal human being, but is
one who is morally deficient and op-
posing the indiscrimnate extension of
the honor convict" system3 Judge J.
E. Frick of the Supreme Court of
Utah Tuesday addressed the conven-
ton of the American Prison Associa-
ton at Oakland, California.
'As soon as a moral weakling is
discovered our first efforts should be
to overcome his weakness before it
forces him into an active criminal ca
reer," said Judge Frick. Il entertain
little hope of ever reforming con-
firmed criminal
"In view that there are some among
those sentenced to prison who
have sincere desire to avoid further
crimes, there are many, among which
number are some prison officials, who
have conceived the idea that all men
are the same and since some can be
trusted all may be and, therefore, all
that is required to reform criminal
is to place unrestricted trust and con
dence in him. That is, all that is
needed to reform him is to call him a
man of honor-and, presto change, he
becomes man of honor. Such a
method of dealing with confirmed
criminals is as pernicious in practice
as it is illogical in reason. 1t treats
an abnormal human being as though
he were perfectly normal. The result
is that it sets at large the most dan
gerous criminals we have to deal
with.
Il have become thoroughly convin-
ced that the general or indiscrimnate
application of the so-called honor sys

The most pronounced development
at the company's property during the
past week has been the uncovering
of new high-grade ore body. The
ore is oxidized and was encountered
in cross-cut on the second level of
the Ludwig mine A full face of ore
assaying II per cent copper is now ex-
posed, and the miners are driving into
the solid body.
AT the mill the building up of big
oxidized heap on the teaching yard is
proceeding and will be ready for the
teaching reagent within the coming
week.
The sulphuric acid required in start
ing operations at the teaching plant,
has been received and is now being
run into the tanks arranged for its
reception.
During the last week the Ruggles
& Co.'S dryers arrived on the ground.
They are now being put together as
rapidly as circumstances permit and
will be in commission by the end of

TREATING IN LONDON EAST WALKER PROJECT

DR.. A. J. Pollard, Secretary of the

spent all of last week in this section
of the State in the interest of the
East Walker irrigation project and in
spected the property. Special efforts
are now being made to clear up the
water title, which has been subjected
to investigation because of adverse
claim of Ben Luce of Salt Lake City,
who claims some water rights. The
matter has been under investigation
by the Interior Department for about
two years, and Commissioner Clay
Tallman has exerted himself to bring
about a determination of the respect
i've rights without unnecessary delay

tenn to convicts is more than a delu-
sion and snare. 1t is a crime against
organized society Moreover, it is of
no practical benefit to the real Grim
inal himself To thus deal with thar
class is merely to tempt them. To say
to the confirmed criminal, Go; | trust
in your honor is mere waste of con-
fidence. No man can yield that which
he does not possess. No one, not even
a reformer, can breathe honor into a
rogue.
"We shall never be able to lessen
crime very much until we heed and
modify the conditions which cause
crime. In the nature of things crime
will prevail just as long as man ex-
lists, We may, however, better the
environment of those who are born
with lack of moral force and crimi-
nails. Above all, we should carefully
guard and make harmless the con
hrmed criminal by preventing him
from going at large and from indulg-
ing in the evil propensities. Instead
of confirming that class, however,
some of our pseudo reformers have
sought to decorate them with badge
of honor by giving them the advan-
tage of so-called honor system. A
dozen of that class set at large
in one State will commit more seri
Gus crimes than will ten times that
number of ordinary criminal weak
lings Yet the so-called reform goes
merrilly on.
''ln justice to a large majority of
our prison officials it should be said
however, that they do not endorse
the indiscriminate application of the
so-called honor system"

GEORGE A. Green

Last week brief mention OF the
death OF this good citizen and early
pioneer OF Nevada was made in the
Times. The following short sketch
and merited tribute is taken from the
Walker Lake Bulletin:
George A. Green, who has been a
resident OF Esmeralda and Mineral
counties for 55 years, died at his Nine
Mile ranch, nine miles from Aurora,
last Thursday, the 9TH inst.
Since 1862 Mr.. Green has been a
prominent figure in the affairs OF the
State and county, He has been en-
gagged in farming, stock raising and
mining and was the owner OF large
areas of agricultural and grazing
land, besides valuable bands OF stock.
Mr.. Green was the father OF six
children, three sons and three daugh-
ters. OF the sons, Edward is a
business in Bishop, California; George
is prominent lawyer, now residing
in Reno, but formerly District At
torney of this county, and Albert. who
has remained on the ranch and been
his fathers right-hand man for sew
eral years, during which time the elder
Green has been in feeble health.
SO passes away one of Nevada $
sterling citizens, after a residence IN
this county OF over half century
surrounded by his family and leaving
behind a host of sorrowing friends.
Mr.. Green was native OF New
Eampshise, aged "a years. The fu-
nreal took place at Bridgeport and
was attended by neighbors and rela-
tives from Aurora, Fletchers, Sweet
water, Walker River, Hawthorne, Car
son and Reno.

AMERICAN BUILDERS

More than $4,000 builders, repre-
senting every department of construc-
ton work from excavating to roof
ing and all the lines of business de-
pendent upon building operations, are
coming to this city to take part in
American Builders Week, October Is
to %. From the opening day to the
last, the celebration of the achieve
ments of modern builders will
continue without interruption. 1t will
be the first gathering of its Kind ever
held and builders are coming from the
Atlantic coast, from the States of the
South, from the Northwest and Middle
West to take part in the mammoth
demonstration. Special trains will be
gin to arrive OF. October IL bringing
delegations from all parts of the coun-
try and nearly every visiting builder
has reserved kctel accommodation
for the entire week.
The main feature of thc elaborate
program will DC the colossal street
pageant in which four miles OF floats
will tell :he story of the progress OF
building from the hut % tie pioneer
to the sky-scraper f'oday. Fur
thermore the pageant will portray
every stage in building construction
today and will reveal IN actual opera
ton nearly every process used III mod
ern building. 1t is predicted that the
American Builders Week pageant will
be the greatest industrial parade ever
held on the streets of an American
city. So many branches of building
work already have signified their in
tention of taking part in the huge pa
geant that it has been necessary to di-
vide into thirty divisions.
f. T. Thurston, Secretary of Ameri-
can Builders Week, 81 Post street,
San Francisco, requests all those who
intend to come to San Francisco to
take part in the celebration to notify
him, giving the name of their business,
the organization they represent, the
number of their party and the day and
hour of their arrival.

two prospectors, who during the de-
preston of the past two years, have
in spite of the discouraging condi-
tions, have held their group of claims
are very liable to reap a substantial re-
ward for their persistence. Their
claims, six in number, are known as
the Panama group and are situated
in the gulch about one mile north OF
the old town of Buckskin In the gulch
are extensive deposits of placer
ground that is rich enough to work
at a profit. This has been known for
some, time to exist, but lack OF water
to wash the gravel has prevented
working il. The most of the work
done by the owners has been on the
lodges, which are we'll defined. In
sinking prospecting shafts they have
encountered veins in different places
on the claims which are well defined
and contain values assaying from one
vein of eighteen inches $54 per ton in
gold. This vein is well defined in
walls of porphyry and lime formation.
Another well defined vein of eighteen
feet averages ore containing SO per
vantage. In one of the veins a stringer
ION, which can be concentrated to ad-
vantage. In one of the veins a string
running as high as $1,000 per ton was
discovered. Parties are negotiating
with the owners for leases on the
placer ground and will soon COM
mence work on that portion of the
group An offer of $4,000 for the
group has been made, and an expert
will be sent to thoroughly examine
the property within the next few days.

UNIVERSITY BOY
AT LUDWIG PLANT

The Crucible Club, which is an or
ganization of the mining students, has
come to life again. The club was re-
organized at the beginning of the year
and has held two meetings thus far.
AT the last meeting James Rice, IL,
read paper on the use of flotation
methods with copper ores. Rice work
ed for the Nevada Consolidated dur
ing the summer. Together with two
helpers he applied the fiotation meth
cd to the tailings which have been ac-
cumulating for some time outside the
big MILL Although the ore contained
but nine-tenths of one per cent copper
the method was successful from a
financial standpoint 1t is becoming
good practice to use this method on
certain classes of copper ores. For
finely-crushed ore, which on being
wet turns to slime, the flotation meth
cd is the only scheme whereby the
metal can be secured Oil is thor
oughly mixed with the crushed ore
and then air is driven into the mixture
until bubbles are formed sufficiently
large to float on the surface of the
solution. These air bubbles carry up
small particles of the copper to the
top of the solution, where it is drawn
off into watts and refined Much of the
tailings from big mills scattered
throughout the State can be treated
in this way and the method will doubt
less receive wide attention in the next
few years.-U. of N. Sagebrush.

PANAMA GROUP MAKES SHOWING

faith in the district is unshaken, i.
also interested in two of the claims
known as Panama No 2 and Panama
No. g. The owners of the property,
with only their labor as their capital
have done all the work on the claims
themselves, working at times in the
larger mines to get money with which
to procure supplies necessary to carry
on their development work. For the
past several months they have been
employed on the teaching plant near
ing completion on the Nevada Con
solidated at Ludwig. Having techni-
cal knowledge acquired by experience
these men who have beer thus en-
gagged in earning their own working
capital have been watching the devel-
opment of the Ludwig enterprise and
are convinced that the extensive de-
posit of copper which is also on their
claims, but not of sufficient value to
haul to smelter or ship, will be hand
led at large profit when the teaching
plant is working and taking for treat
ment custom ores. With Drawn and
industry their only capital it is men of
the type of Schultz, Brown and West
ling who are entitled to credit for the
development of mining districts in
States like Nevada. They are the pio-
neers who pave the way for the big
investments which would never be
made but for men of their kind
Despite the discouraging conditions
that have prevailed the past several
years there are many men of expert
ence who have been confident that
the old Bucksin district contained ex-
tensive areas of copper and gold that
when the cost of reduction was low
cred would become big producers
