MAY FIND NEN' MINE AROUND
 BERNERS BAY
Juneau Men Are Interested
H. R. Shepard Now There and Grover Winn Is Going to District
 Tonight.

The opening of another large mine in the Berner's Bay section is one Of the near possibilities if the expec. tations of H. R. Shepard and Grover C. Vim are realized.
 The two men have been shown rich samples of ore from that sec ton by "Berners Bay John,7 the old Native who has lived there for many years. The Indian claims to have discovered a ledge of ore, back sev- eral miles from the beach. and has offered Co show the two men where the ledge is located if they will give him sack of flour, sack of sue gar, a side of bacon, and $2O a month for the remainder of his life.
 "Berner's Bay John" first showed the samples to H.. R. Shepard sev- eral years ago and for the past four years Mir. Shepard has been trying to get the Native to ,ake him to the ledge. He has made three trips to Bernor's Bay already this sum mer and is there now.
 Grover WinR who went out the last trip was forced to return but will leave again tonight for there. The first time Mr. Shepard went to Berner's Bay this Spring, old John, for some reason known only to him self refused to take him to the ledge. The next trip John had blood pois- on and was brought to the hospital in Juneau and cared for until he re- covered. This time Mir. Shepard has oeen absent for the past two weeks and Grover Winn, his partner in the enterprise, feels confident that he as getting results.
 " don't know what the proposition is." said Grover Vim today Der ner's Bay John" has some wonderful samples which he has shown to us and which he says he found on a ledge several miles from the beach. don't know whether the ledge will prove to be worth working or not m account of its location, but we are investigating. Mir. Shepard IS there now and am going out to. night We win probably know when we get back whether we have a mine"
 oBerner's Bay John has lived at Bemers Bay practically all Of his life. He first had his hunting lodge there and later claimed Berner'5 Bay as his home He says he dis covered the ledge several years ago while following a bear trail but mas kept the location 9 secret.

A BOOSTER FOR LANE-An
event, anxiously looked forward to by
thousands, looms large on the Sep
TENDER horizon. This is the opening,
on Sept Is, of the brick building on
the corner of Division and Sedgwick
SITS.
This brick building comprises a
night school called Lane. 1t is the
biggest night school in the wide
world.
On the same day, it is true, nu-.
merous other night schools in the
city will be thrown open to the
knowledge-hungry multitude. But
these are to Lane as a candle is to a

bright" remark; it is a truth.
For Lane harbOrs within it's walls

among schools of it's kind. It has a

BUGS.AThere are many kinds of
bugs in this good old world. Many
swear 1 am a bug, or at least bug
house. Who knows? Maybe they
are right. l see, however, there are
others who have bug" troubles.
Some Day Book readers are afflicted
with bedbugs and ask how to get rid
of them. l, too, am afflicted at times.
At least l find one once in while, es-
pecially in hot weather. Since it is
not safe to blame the neighbOrs,
blame myself. Since they thrive,
live and have their being" off of
me, it is more just to blame me, since
they are not found anywhere else in
the fiat or building.
Recently 1 called my friend Jack
to assist me in Exploring my bed. We
soaked the tick with bedbug killer,
we soaked every nook and corner.
We explored the springs and iron
rails. Horrors! We found a whole
village in each corner. Oh, yes
They say that bugs cannot get in an
iron bed. But somebody lied that
time. Jack dOUsed them with the
fatal hemlock" until you could see
them turn up their toes and die. 1
proceeded to brush all on the floor
and give them the second degree
with my clodhOppers to make sure
they were on their way to eternity.
Jack said: Never mind, they are al
ready dead" But told him l had
serious scrupIes against sleeping
with corpses. Will some fault-fnd-
ers. please prove that we men were
"cruel to animals" that we commit
ted murder and took life put here by
creation? Was the lady. on the South |
Side a few years ago humane who |
refused to kill bedbugs in her fiat be-
cause she said God put them here for
q purpose? She was not successful |
