(Juneau Emn;re.

(Juneau Emp;re.i
 A letter received in the last mail from Iditarod by Juneau man says that the recent strike reported from Mastadon and Boob creeks is gen. uine one and that Ruby, Iditarod. Flat, Ophir, and other interior camps are practically deserted as a result of the stampede.
 The letter was dated April 17th and says: "The strike reported within the past two weeks was made miles northwest of Tolstoi river, go miles northwest of Ophir. The strike was made on Mastadon and Boob creeks, both of which are tributaries of the Tolstoi river, and the dirt runs about 50 cents to the pan.
 "The reports have been corroho- rated and stampede is on. The stampede has practically depopulat- ed Iditarod, Flat. Ophir, Takotna. Cripple and the Ruby districts. A new townsite has been laid off at the mouth of Mathadon creek and has. been named Copper. It is es- timated that within two months there will be between 1900 or 2000 people in the district. If the strike proves to be permanent and good pay is developed, the inhabitants will apply at once for the establish ment of postoffice at this point"

THE OPERA MIKADO
 FOR MALE VOICES
PLENTY OF EXCELLENT MALE VOICES TO BE HEARD IN
 THIS OPERA.

There is no doubt but that singing by men is enjoyed more than any other music. In all the larger Catholic choirs no other voices are used and many great musical compositions are written especially for male voices. This is also true to large extent of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas and the Mikado is no mexception.
 One of the most important of the solo parts and the first to really give cue to the plot of the opera is that of Fish Tush, bass solo part. This is being we'll taken by Lawrence Erickson and his trio with Pooh Bah and Ko Ko is usu- ally the comedy hit of the opera. Another beautiful piece of harmony is the Madrigal, using this char acter for the bass. This was one of the old English styles of music and is little used at the present time but nothing could be more beautiful and harmonious. Musically the Mikado is superior to any of the other English operas and the resi- dents of Ketchikan are indeed favored in being able to hear so good an opera as we'll presented as this will be next Monday and Tues day evenings, at Red Mems Hall.

 The curious fact has been demon- s.rated that high attitudes aupar- eutly have marked effect on the power obtainable from gas en- zine. Recently one was erected sev- eral thousand feet above sea level. but upon testing failed to give the desired power. An investigation fol- lowed, and the loss in power was attributed to the height at which the engine was operating. The gen. eral conclusion was reached that 9 gas engine loses about 1 per cent of it's indicated horse power per 1000 feet of elevation.

RESIDENCE ALMOST BURNS

A fire alarm was given shortly
after noon yesterday and on in
vestigation it was found that q
pile of lumber, wood and pine was
burning at the rear of the H. j.
Trimble residence. The fire had
made considerable headway when
discovered, but faithful work by
volunteers with buckets resulted
in extinguishing the flames be-
fore any further damage was
done. The wood and pine pile was
near the residence and if the fire
had not been promptly put out
this would have been destroyed.
Hot ashes from the kitchen
range were taken up in wooden
box and the box was placed on
the grass near the woodpile. This
was responsible for the fire.
