consist of a total of about 15,OOO ished and the steel framework for the entire plant is about sixty per cent. finished. When completed, these buildings will contain two thousand, four hundred tons of structural steel. The boilers, also. have been placed in the power house.
 The development work performed during the last year in the Alaska Juneau mine, the property from which the ore will be taken to sup ply the new mill, consisted chiefly of the development of an ore body approximately 600 feet in width across its dip and consisting of min eralized quartz stringers and bunch in slate and meta-gabbro, on what is designated as the north ore body, so-called for the reason that it lies north of the Silver Bow Faul, which separates the mine into two distinct parts, having a dis placement of about 1900 feet, one portion of the mine being north of the fault and the remainder south of it.
 From Gold Creek tunnel, a point where it first cuts the north ore body, drift was run into the foot wall of Silver Bow fault, dis tanc" of about 1900 feet. In this drift ore chutcs were constructed every forty-two feet for a distance of about 750 feet, the chute raise being driven to a heighth of about 30 feet above the tunnel level.
 At the top of each chute a bull dozing chamber has been cut out for the purpose of bulldozing boul- ders too large to pass through the chutes. HulldoZing consists of blast ing the large boulders, or chunks of ore. too large to be handled oth- crwisc. These chambers are about fifteen feet square, and are connect cd with an intermediate drift driv- en parallel to the f0ot-wali and about fifty feet above it. The communication between the foot wall drift and the intermediate is established by manway raises driv- en about 250 feet apart.
 The lower drift will be used as the main haulGge drift, the cars be- ing hauled from the mill to the chutes, loaded and returned. Flee trical communication will be main tained between chute and corres- bonding bulldozlng chamber above. to avoid chute being drawn when bulldoZing is being done.
 From the tops of all the chutes the ore body has been under-cut,

ishcd and most of the pillars have been shot out. \ large part of the
 Undcr-cutting is practically fn- iShcd and most of the pillars have been shot out. \ large part of the stopcs have cavcd to the roof mak- ing it impossible to break more rock until the new mill starts and some of the ore is drawn
 On the south ore body there has been little done but exploration work. The tunnel between the mine and the mill is being enlarged to make clearance for the new ten ton cars which will be used in trans porting ore from the mine to the mill. and the whole tram liuc is be- ing regarded from the mill to the mouth of Gold Creek tunnel. All trcstles are being abolished and fills made instead except. adjoining the mill, where a trcstlc is ncces- sary for tail tracks.
 The blacksmith shop in Last Chance basin is being enlarged and in addition d locomotive repair shop is being constructed for the purpose of repairing locomotives and cars used in hauling the ore.
 All of this work will be finished mill when il is completed.

At intervals of about loo feet along and across the stopc, raises driven to the number three level. the elevation being 25O feet above number four level. Radialy from these stopc raises small powder drifts, four feet by four feet in size. were driven. These drifts will bc loaded with large quantities of powder, and blasted. breaking one to five thousand tons of rock at each blast. With these powder drifts, it is expected that the cav ing will be absolutely controlled At present only the lower tier of powder drifts has been driven. The others will be constructed as rapidly as possible in due course of development. The entrance to these drifts and raises will b2 from the levels above. Entrance to ley els above the number four on the north ore body will be through the number two main raise. which con- tainS two compartments driven from the number four level to the sur face, which will intCrscct the sur face at point near the top of Snow Slide Gulch. This raise lacks only about three hundred feet of completion.

Development Work on the Alaska7Juneau Mine During Current Year

E OR THE fiscal year the Alaska ! Gold Mining Company is carry ing out the most extensive building program of any mine in Alaska.
 It has under construction a mill ing plant of 5000 tons capacity in 24 hours. Y This plant will consist of a power house and mill for crushing and concentrating the ore The power house equipment con- sists of four 825 horse power Sterl- ing boilers and two 5000 kilowatt turbo-generators one of which will be used as spare. The mill equip ment Is best described by following the progress of the ore through the plant.
 The ore from the mine will en- ter the mill at the top, the cars being dumped four at a time in re- volving tipples into a bin under the tracks. From this bin the ore will be fed over apron feeders to a grizzly with 8-inch openings. the oversize going through two 36-inch by 4S-inch jaw crushers. The pro- duct from these crushers will join the undersize from the grizzlies and pass through four gyratory crush CTS. The product from these crush CTS will be carried by four 3O-inch belt conveyors and delivered on two 36-inch travelling convcyors which distribute the ore in tho mill stor- age bin, which is of 10000 tons ca pacity.
 The orc will be fed from this bin by apron feeders into twelve Ball Mills in which the fine crushing is done.
 From these mills the orc will be conveyed by gravity, to AS Deistcr roughing tables where conccn- trate is made. The balance of the product will go through Deistcr classifcrs, the Oversize passing through twelve tube mills This product will join the undersize from the classificrs, then be pass cd on to the finishing tables.
 The concentrates from all the tables will be taken to a retreating plant, where it will be racEround in two ball-peb mills, after which it will be sent to additional finish ing tables, and the process of re- grinding and concentrating will be repea ted nntiL.al. .recoyetsblc values are extracted from the orc.
 Tho company plans to have this mill in operation about the first of March, 1917. The grading, mann moth task necessitating the removal of 55:00O cubic yards of dirt and rock, has been completed, the con crete for; the foundations, which will
