outline his policy tonight in a speech
In Philadelphia. Interviews and mes
sages from senator's and congressman
are almost unanimous in deploring the
horror and loss Of life, but are unfa-

believe that the president can be
trusted to handle the affairs rightly,
and that congress and the nation
should stand behind him. The general
disposition Is to await facts before any
action Is taken. President Wilson
will not be stampeded into precipi-
tate Judgment.

R. c. HURLEY TELLS
 SOME. JUNEAU FACTS

SEATTLE. Nov 12.-R. c. Hurley and Mrs. Hurley. of Juneau, Alaska are at the New Richmond hotel en- route to Boston. Mass. where they will spend few months visiting ai the home of Mrs. Hurley's parents They are accompanied by their two small children. Mir. Hurley is private secretary to B. l.. Thane. manager of the Alaska.Gastineau properties at Thane, Alaska.
 While business is holding on re- markedly well in Juneau and the min ing properties in the vicinity are de- veIoping rapidly. there is surplus of labor in the capital city" said Mir. Hurley yesterday. "A site Is being cleared now for the big 5000 ton ca- pacity roller mill to be constructed for the Alaska-Juneau mine. A 1O0- ton stamp mill now on the site, has been operated more as an expert ment than anything else. This will be made an auxiliary to the big plant. The Alaska-Juneau mine Is controlled by F. W. Bradley, president of the Treadwell Mines Company, and J. Fl. Mackenzie, of Juneau. Bradley. Bruff and La Barthe, of San Francisco are designing the new mill and Mr. Bruff has just returned from a visit to the site."
 
 According to Mir Hurley the Alaska Gastineau mill at Thane is now turn ing out $500 tons daily, and it's ca- pacity will be increased to 10000 tons by Che first of the year. - Seattle PostIntelligencer)

CACHE CREEK HAD
 AN OUTPUT or s2oo,ooo

SEWARD. Nov 12.-M D. Ellis, who arrived on the Admiral Evans yesterday. is one of the large opera tors in the Cache creek country and reports a very good season there for the summer just past and thinks the output for the season to be nearly S200.0o0. Mfr. Ellis who has been In the mining game for a good many years in Idaho and for five years in Alaska thinks that Cache Creek is equal to or surpasses any mining dis trict this side of Fairbanks and is the best producer contiguous to Seward. He has at present two hydraulic out fits ready for operation in the spring. having but recently installed them. Although this was practically year of preparation and installing machin- cry yet MT. Ellis took out $65,OO0 of the yellow metal. He has the greatest faith in the future of the camp and expects big things there for next year. Many of the Cache Creek operators and miners remain there for the winter, while others spend the winter on Cook Inlet or in Sew ard. The output for the past sea. son was considerably cut down owing to the lack of water.-( Steward Gate wayJ

MORE MONEY
 IS NEEDED FOR
 ALASKA ROADS


 FAIRBANKS. Oct. 2S.- Figures compiled by R. J. Somers. superin- tendent of the Alaska road commis- sion. show that S44.4s4.4S has already been expended In the Fourth Judicial Division during the past summer, and approximately S20.000 in outstanding accounts will be paid before tho sea- sons work is ended. These sums do not include the S5,OOO subscribed to the commission by the people of Fair banks for the work on the Tolovana trail. Of the gross expenditure of s64. .4S4.4S, approximately so per cent. was for labor. The balance was for supplies bought within the bounds of the division, the various merchants having an opportunity to bid for them.
 During the past summer about 15o men were employed together with ten teams and teamsters, many of them being oldtimers who were work ing to get a winters grubstake. in order that they might so to the hills to prospect
 Considering the amount of territory in the division. the expenditures were small. necessarily SO because of the small appropriation for road work in Alaska.
 That 1t is to the interest of every one in the Interior and in Alaska to work for a larger appropriation for the Alaska road commission is seen at a glance when the policy of the board is considered. Colonel Richard son has made 1t a policy, ever since being on the commission. to see that the work was done by Alaskans and that Alaskan business houses were permitted to furnish all supplies need ed, where such Q proceeding was pos sible.
 If the road appropriation could be Increased to a million dollars a year 1t would mean that several hundred thousand dollars would be spent in Interior Alaska, and approximately so per cent of this would go to fill. ing the pokes of prospectors. who might thus secure enough money in the summer to allow the into look for gold in the winter
 Taking these things into considera- tion, in addition to the fact that the money would make 1t possible for the commission to open up new roads and improve old ones to such an extent that the Territory would develop more rapidly. Mir. Somers thinks every. body should support the board and put any obstacles in the way.-(Fair- banks Times.)

BROOKS LOOKS LIKE
 DAWsoMs FIReT DAYS


 FAIRBANKS. Oct. 25.- Returning to Fairbanks after an absence of sey. eral months, during which time he was freighting between the log jam and the West Fork of ihe Tolovana river. Leonard Heacock arrived in tho city last evening. That Brooks has quite the appearance of Dawson in the early days of that camp is stated by Mir Heacoclz. in that the building activity reminds him os the days when everybody was preparing for the first winter of the Klondike strike.
 The main street in Brooks is 1,400 feet long and for the whole length buildings are going up rapidly. The Moody and Fisher sawnills have been working overtime, and the lumber Is hardly off the saw before it is on the way up tho creek to some building. Many of tho old-timers have the foun- datlons laid for their buildings, but have not been able to get the lum- Der for the upper parts of the struc- tures.-(Fa.rbanks Tlmes.)
