JUNEAU COMPANY IS
 BREAKING RECORDS.

JUNEAU, Nov. 4.-The flask, Gastineau Mining company here has broken the worlds record for the low cost of breaking. handling and recovering the values from the ores and has silenoed for all time the critics who declared that the costs of recovering the values from the low grade ores Of the mine welc dangerously close to the margin.
 During the month of September a tes. was made when five hun dred tons of ore were broken, trans ported to the mill and the values recovered at cost o, less than sixty cents per ton. The concen- trates were sent to the Tacoma smelter and the returns have just been received by the company, show ing that the values contained ii the ores, which were regarded as below the average, will leave a substantial profit over the cost of operating the mine.
 The Alaska Gastineau mine Is equipped with machinery superior to any mine in the United States, and critics in the mining world be lieved that the estimates that ore could be treated for less than 75 cents per ton were doomed to disap- pOintment.

R. R. TERMINUS IS ASSURED ID
 tA|RBANKSANS
ASSURANCES IN REGARD TO RAILROAD MATTER ARE
 RECEIVED HERE.

Fairbanks is assured of being th interior terminus of the Alaska gov ernment railroad. That much is certain, for, notwithstanding reports to the contrary, the Fairbanks Com mercial club has received assuranc-
 from a person who knows to that effect.
 The members of the executive aver, do not consider it advisab' the person who is their authority public. And their action. being for l good reason. is approved of by all who are familiar with the cir cumstances.
 After receiving the message of assurance last Wednesday afternoon the board held a meeting to talk he matter over. The result of the meeting was that more than ten telegrams were formulated and dis patched to the commercial bodies Of several coast cities and to their representatives in congress. Mes sages were also sent to Secretary Lane, Senator George E. Chamber lain and Delegate Wickersham, re- questing all to work for Fairbanks as the interior terminus of the railroad and also to boost for con struction work between Nenana and Fairbanks during the coming sum- mer. In their message the club dwelt upon the fact that develop ment here will be greatly retarded should a line of rails not be laid from the Nenana coal fields to Fair banks as quickly as possible.
 And this is not the first time that the club has taken the railroad mat ter up this fall, although the execu- tive board has made very little of it's efforts in the line of publicity. In fact, the board has worked quiet ly and consistently since the close of navigation it's chief work hay ing been the collection of all kinds of data and the forwarding of the same to Secretary Lane.
 In the wire sent to Delegate Wick ersham the executive board asked that the de'eeate command Fair banks and Fairbanksans in the mat ter Of rendering him assistance in regard to the railroad.

ANTHONY MINING IS
 A NEW INDUSTRY.

A NEW INDUSTRY.
 The mining of antimony is new industry in Alaska. Although it has been known for several years that Alaska had antimony deposits. none has hcen produced in commercial quantities until the present year. During the season several substantial shipments of this mineral have been made from Fairbanks and Nome districts, and a discovery of anti mony ore was recently reported near Nizina- The production IS said to have been stimulated by the increased demand for it caused by the European war Another effect of the demand has been the erec- tion of an artlmony smelter at Van Asselt, Seattle suburb. Antimont is found in nature in the metal lie state, but it's chief commercial source is sticnite, sulphlte of an timony. Stitnite was known in very early times. The paint used by Jezebel, the notorious wife oi Ahad, the Jewish king, was finely ground stibnile, and it was largely used by the women of the East fo1 many centuries for painting the eyebrows and eyelashes and giving lustre to the eyes. The Arabs callel it al-ko-hol, with which we may conl- pare alcohol also an invention of an Arabian chemist. The origin of the word antimony is not known. There is a legend that certain monks were poisoned by it, and that the name is derived from anti (against and moine Ca monk); so that the word would mean monks bane,
 or something of that sort. The deri- vation, however, Is purely fanciful It is a bluish white, brittle, crystal lire metal and forms valuable alloy with other netals. and this is it" most important use in the arts. Type metal is an alloy of lead antimony and tin, with sometimes littss copper The tin adds toughness, while the an,imony gives hardnes and causes the alloy to expand upon

Commercial Club
 Holds Meeting

Several matters of importance were discussed at the regular meet ing of the Fairbanks Commercial club, held last Monday night at Eagle hall About 30 members O. the organization were present. Chief among the matters discussed were the Happy creek trail to the Tolo- vana country and the booklet adver Using Fairbanks which the club will issue soon.
 The Happy creek trail was brought to the attention of the club by ieorge A. Coleman, local manager f the N. c. Co. He stated that le had just returned from bus ness visit 10 the Tolovana, and that while there he had learned that the people of Brooks are very much dis. satisfied with the present trail, They have therefore started to build an other by way of Happy creek. and it was MT. Coleman's intention, in irtroducng tine subject, to get tho club to investigate the matter of giving them assistance ill this work.
 After some little discussion it was decided that an Investigating com mittee should be appointed. Presi- dent Nordaie then named George A. Coleman. Theodore Johnson and Robert J. Geis. This committee will investigate the trail and report to the club and action on the ques- tion of rendering assistance to the Brooks trail builders will then be taken.
 Should the club decide to help the Brooks people, the raising of considerable amount of money will be necessary. At the meeting Mon- day evening Dam Callahan offered to donate $50 worth of work with his team.
 One of the chief arguments in favor of the new route Is that 1t Is level and can be used for the hauling of heavy freight, whereas the trail now in use is stated to be too steep for the hauling of heavy boilers and other heavy machinery.

The property of the Black Dia- mono Gold Mining company. located on the west side. of Valdez bay anf which adjolns the Ellis Imperial and Three-in-One mines, Is sho ring up we'll under development work.

 During past years more than five hundred feet of tunnel has been run on the Bla k Diamond clai q but it was not until late last fall that the lead now being developed by the miner; was discovered. Prior to this year the tunnels were run near the beach line and the new discovery is high up on the noun tainside and is believed to be the now being developed by Jeff Devin- lses to make "n H tue DlsS- mines in the district.
 The Black Diamond company is composed entirely of Valdez people who are naturally elated over tho good showing made by the property under development work. The loca
