ABOUT JOHN TREADWELL
CBy F. G. Carpenter)

John Trcadweu had come to Alaska at the instance of some California capitalists. He had been prospecting in the Silver Bow basin, back of Ju- neau, and had found quartz gold in the belt where the Ebner mine now is. But the gold was poor, and he was about to give up in despair and so back to san Francisco when he met Pete and learned of his discovery on Douglas Island. He wen, to see the claims, but did not think much of them, as the ore seemed to be Of too low a grade to pay for the mining. He suggested, however, that Pete should give him quitcliam deed for the two properties for $5, and he would try to sell them to the capital ists of San Francisco. Pete had a store, and the understanding was that if the mines were opened the miners would trade at his store. This was an additional consideration, and so for $5 was sold this property from which as l have said, have already come about sixty million of dollars.
 The property was doated in San Francisco and Treadweu got onethird of the stock. The other owners were large capitalists and among them D. o. Mills, much of whose fortune came from this source. Later on the Roth schilds of London bought into the property and today the mine is owned by the Mills estate the Rothschilds and other rich men.-Ex
