The properties brought together or
iginally by Mr.. II. w. Martin and
Mr.. George r. Noble are situated on
Mount Juneau, Lemon Creek and VI
cinity. and consist of 101 claims and
mill sites, comprising approximately
2O60 acres.
The extent of the properties is an
proximatelv eleven miles.
Previous to taking charge OF the
direction of the work on these prop
critics. Mr.. Robert A. Kinzie. NJ. f.,
made an examination of portion. and
his report OF the geology thereof Is
in part. as follows:
The Dora, Stone Cabin and Hal
lum Groups lie in the same mineral
lied belt or lode system rs the EO-
ner, Alaska Juneau, and perseverance
mines. and occupy the round along
the ore zone between the Elmer
property and Salmon Creek. The
general geology is the same as that
existing along the mineral zone to the
east, where it has been extensively
explored underground. and its contin-
uation in depth. both as to its width
and value, has been found most salts,

principal naturalization occurs in the
foot wall portion of the central
bands of black slate and the diorite

The principal sulphides present
are pyrrhotite, galena, sphalerite. py-
rite and some chalcopyrite.
1T is a well recognized fact by all
those who have studied this deposit,
that galena and sphalerite are. with
few exceptions, always present in ore
of milling value and, when they are
absent. although there is present
high percentage of pyrrhotite and py-
rite. the ore is not of milling grade
in quantities large enough to allow
profitable mining.
THE eastern and northern portions
of the Dora Group lie Immediately
west of the Elmer mine and the ge-
ology is practically the same. The
rocks are made up bands of slate and
diorite. The main brown diorite dixie
of the Elmer mine crosses into this
group at a point just south of the
junction of the Dora, st. Paul and
Ropeway mining claims. - The

tho Stone Cabin and Hallum Groups"
In his report on Stone Cabin and
Hal,um Groups Mr.. Kinzie states that
q certain section is characteristic of
this ore zone and closely resembles
that in the Alaska juneau and Perse-
,,or.noe mines, not only with regard
- tho character of the states and d.
critics, but because of the presence of
tho sulphides of lead and zinc. The
norcentage of pyrrotite present is low
or than in the eastern portion of the
Dora and is about the same as in the
perseverance, mine. consider the
.rrsace showing on these claims to
he better than any showing west of
tho Silver Bow fault, which crosses
through the middle of the Alaska Ju,
neau property"
The prospecting and development
work is being carried on under the
direction of Mr.. Kinzie, formerly gen.
eral superintendent OF the Treadwell
and Alaska Juneau mines.
The superintendent and engineer
Immediately in charge of the work is
Mr. W. R. Lindsay, who was for over
civ wears an engineer for the Tread
well and Alaska Juneau mines, and
who constructed as engineer the Men
denball power project for the Tread
wei, mines. Mr.. Lindsay was also
engineer for the Speel River Project,
the largest power proposition in AL
aska.
The present plans are to continue
the development work until the en-
tire ore body has been extensively
explored.
Extensive mill sites are owned on
Gastineau Channel, thus furnishing
ample ground for buildings, wharves
and for tailings. In addition, there
are several mill sites located in the

this dam site is approximately 25,O0O
acre feet 1t is estimated by compe-
tent engineers, many OF whom have
examined the property, that $500 II.
P. can be developed during the viii
ter from two reservoirs and 5000 ii.
p. during the summer. The bed OF
the stream owned by the company
extends over six miles. The patents
to the ground were granted by the
Government previous to the creation
of the Forest Reserves, and this rea
sonably insures that the waters will
be free from the litigation usual to
the holding and employment of water
rights.
The engineering work on the Lem
on Creek power project is under the
immediate direction of Mir. VI. B. Ras-
covich, who was for three years an
engineer for the Treadwell mine, and
has had extensive experience in pow
er construction work.
AS soon as the exploration OF the
ore body in the various properties has
been carried to a point satisfactory
to the engineers the equipment OF
the property will go forward as rap
idly as possible.
The financial management Of the
properties is at present under the di-
rection of Mr.. Marshall A. Barney, an
attorney, of New York City.

a railway can be operated very eco
nomically on the outside of the noun
tain, or by tunnel through Mount Ju-
neau, to the mountain mining claims.
Claims adjacent to those consider
ed most valuable have been located,
CT are under options, and all frac-
tions have been located to prevent,
as nearly as possible, any litigation.
The principal claims are contiguous
and this, together with the fact that
claims necessary to connect with the
mill sites are either owned or under
option, places the properties, as a
concrete whole, in a most satisfactory
condition.

The Lemon Creek power project,

by competent engineers to be one OF
the largest and best protected waters

comprising about 800 acres, and un

BEATING BY WIFE
No DIVORCE CAUSE
Small Man chastised by Big Woman
Only Entitled TO Sympathy,
Judge Rules.
THE WIFE is GRANTED FREEDOM
Jurist Refuses TO Hear Testimony That
Mother Smoked Before
Children.

Los Angeles, Collaborating that a
woman may smoke cigarets and still
be entrusted with the care Of her chill
dren and that a man of fragile proper
tons, who is chastised by a wife Of
Amazonian statue, is entitled to sym
pathy, but not a divorce, Judge Mon
roe adjusted the marital difficulties be-
tween Fred Shunko, wealthy furniture
manufacturer, and Sarah ShunkO.
A decree was given to Mrs. Shunko
as a personal gift from the court, but
not on either Of the above grounds,
which were the basis of the complaint
brought by her husband Judge Mon
roe also took the custody Of the two
little daughters from both parents and
will consign them to some guardian or
institution
Here was the burden of the hus
bands complaint:
That his wife, whose form is mold
ed on heroic lines, freuentIy beat him
That she chased him armed with 6
pair Of scissors and threatened to i'm
pale him.
That she smoked cigarets and abus
ed him in the presence of their little
daughters.
To which the wife retorted:
That her husband was habitualIy in
temperate and chat her demonstrations
against him were deserved
Shunko took the witness stand and
attempted to relate his marital woes
He produced three cartridges which,
he said, he had taken from a revolver
with which his wife had threatened
to shoot him; also, he produced the
fragments Of a watch which, he said,
she had seized and stamped on, and as
proof of the charge that she had chas
ed him with pair of shears he eX-
hibited the shears.
"Also tell the court about your wifes
smoking cigarets," said Mr. Shunkos
attorney.
81 don't want to hear it," said Judge
Monroe
81 will never grant divorce or take
a woman's children away because she
happens to smoke cigarets," he said
"That seems to have become some
WnaC OF custom among certain FIcA
and idle women and the canons of So
ciety do not inyeigh against a womans
privilege of. smoking. If rich women
may smoke 1 cannot forbid a poor
woman from doing SO; therefore, let
us hear no more about cigarets"
The court listened sympathetically
to Shunko's recital Of his woes, and
then said:
Under the law neither is entitled
to a divorce on the evidence presented.
However, I won't ask either to live
longer with the other and will award
decree to the wife. From what the
court has learned L don't think either
is flt to raise these little girls. There
fore I will take them from the custody
of both parents"

CLOSE CALL FOR MERRYMAKERs
Incident Revives Talk About Danger
Gus Railroad Crossings.


Leslie, Mich.-There are three very
dangerous railroad crossings in this
village, points where all view Of ap-
preaching trains is obstructed by
buildings. Two persons have been
killed and there have been frequent
narrow escapes. The latest "close
call" might have been shocking
affair.
Lee Rivard was driving a merry
party to town Friady evening to attend
doings at Odd Fellows Hall When
near the railroad tracks on Mill street
they were laughing and having a good
time and forgot about the trains and
tracks until one of them suddenly
screamed, "The cars"
The horses we're on the track and Ri
ward shouted to them. The horses
jumped forward and the sleigh just
cleared the track when the engine
went whizzing by. Three Of the occu-
pants were thrown from the back OF
the sleigh, and the suction of the train
almost pulled them under. Something
should be done to safeguard these dan
gerous crossings.

MOUSE NEST IN HUMAN SKULL
Mystery OF Queer Noises Is Solved by
Museum Director.

EI Centre, Cal.-The mystery of the
creeping noises in the Valley Cham
Der Of Commerce has been solved. In

There is a skull of an unknown man
found on the Colorado Desert. Beside
it is a stalk of cotton raised in green
Imperial Valley. The cotton was rails
ed where the skull was found.
For several days ueer noises were
heard in the room, but the cause
bamled Secretary Place and other of
fcers. Finally W. H. Compton, di-
rector and lecturer for the exposition
at San Francisco, decided upon a min
ute search, and in the skull he found
mouse 1t had taken some Of the
cotton and started nest.
"That man probably did not have
rats in the garnet, but he certainly has
now" commented man just from
Iowa, who was in the room.
