THE KETCHIkAN
 DISTRICT, ALASKA WHAT EMIL EDWARD HURJA SAYS ABOUT OUR MINES AND
 MINING PROSPECTS.
Continued from page B

The Alaska Venture Syndicate, of London, a subsidiary of the Great Boulder Proprietary, of Western Aus tralia. has suspended work on the Old Glory claims at Smuggler's cove on Cleveland peninsula, 25 miles north of Ketchikan. The original owners of the claims were Martin Bugge and as sociates. Development work done on the property after the spring of 1914 consists of surface stripping and pros pecting. Improvements on the claims aggregated $15O.O00 The work is held in abeyance because of the War.
 It is reported in Ketchikan that Cat lin. owner of the Sunshine silyer-lead property on Cholmondeley sound, is to resume work soon. Over 150 tons of ore is on the dump, ready to ship.
 The It Mining Co, of which H. C., Strong is president and J. L. Barber secretary, is planning to develop the Gold Stream property, consisting of the Gold Spring and Gold Stone claims, on Gravina island, opposite Ketchikan. three miles from the town. Work on the lode, which con tains gold, consists of 150 it. of shaft and 300 it of tunnel work.
 w. II. Gilmour and Fremont King owners of the Sea Level property near Ketchikan, have bonded it to Carl B. Lancaster, of Seattle with whom are associated C. H. Black and Carl Strong. The property shows a vein varying in width from ? to 10 it. and carrying free-milling gold ore. The Sea Breeze claim, which adjoins the Sea Level property on the east and carries a continuation of the Sea Level vein, will be opened up through the Sea Level workings, which have been unwatered. Four men are cm- ployed under Carl B. Lancaster. The workings of the Sea Level run to with in 150 it. of the Sea Breeze line. A small hoist is in use. A Fairbanks Morse semi-Deisel 25-h.p engine and a Fairbanks-M Morse compressor have been bought and will be on the proper ty when the work is farther advanced. The Sea Level has a 30-stamp mill built in 1907 but not used for many years.
 The Goo Goo group of gold claims, owned by Richard Nuckolls and asso- ciates, and situated near the Sea Level, have been examined by Alaska Gastineau engineers. Nine tons of samples were taken on June 15.
 NJ. M. Reese has discontinued work on the Dunton property near Hollis. Development at the Ready Bullion continues. Exploratory work on other prospects in the same vicinity is be- ing carried on steadily But little more than assessment work has been done on the promising Lucky Nell group situated miles from tide-wa- ter at Hollis Thirty tons of this ore yielded S46 per ton in 1913. Since that time no shipments have been made. Poison & Ickis are continuing work on

WHY oRcHEsTRAs "TUNE-UP"

why" asked visitor to the thea ire the other day, do members of the orchestra always worry people pos sessing nerves, like myself, by tuning up their instruments?"
 It is all a matter of thermometer, according to a musician. The tenn perature in different parts of the build ing is different. and the instruments have to be tuned in the temperature of the place in which they are going to be played As rule, the air in a theatre becomes warmer as the per formance progresses, and so the in. struments have to be tuned several times.

their copper and gold property at Me Lean arm, 40 miles from Ketchikan. Two chalcopyrite deposits are expos ed.
 Mining on the west coast of Prince of Wales island, which also is tribu- tary to Ketchikan is based almost en- tirely on copper ore. The oldest regu- lar producer in the district is the Jum- bo. near the head of Hetta inlet This mine is operated by the Alaska Indus trial Co., of which Senator Charles A. Sulzer is active manager. Shipments are being made regularly at the rate of 15O tons per month. The ore, chal-- copyrite in lime, cpidote and garnet gangue, is practically neutral and is easily smeted. Shipments are made to Tacoma. A total depth of TOO it. has been made possible with connect ed adits. From the lowest a winze has been sunk 200 it. From this depth stoping is now being carried on. The winze is being sunk another loo 1t. to connect with a lower adit Surface exploration of the western end of the Jumbo deposit has been encouraging. Senator Sulzer expects to open up that end of the orebody next. building short aerial trans to connect with the main Leschen aerial tram, which car ries the ore a distance of two miles 10 the bunkers A saw-mill has been purchased and new quarters and other buildings will be built w. l.. Moore formerly with the Alaska-Juneau at Juneau, is superintendent of construct ion. Robert Pollock has been made mine superintendent.
 Senator Sulzer is erecting an Allis- Chalmers tube-mill fer the reduction of barite from a deposit that he dis covered near Lime point. Several hun dred tons of this product was shipped last year, with satisfactory results. so Senator Sulzer plans to treat the ore at home. The deposit is over 100 it. wide
 Sweet brothers are operating the mine of the Northland Development Go at Big Harbor, under a bond. A shipment of 150 tons was recently made to the shelter at Tacoma. The ore is a massive pyrite containing chalcopyrite.
 Assays of ore from the bottom of a loft. shaft on the Keete mine at the head of Keete inlet shows ore that averages "A per cent copper This property is owned by C. H. SuIzer.
 P A. Tucker. recently operator of the Big Harbour property, has bond ed the Gould claims on the south end of Suquan island. He has a small force of men employed in exploratory work
 w. II. Link and J. w Rickenback of Seattle, arrived recently on the Curacao and have resumed develop ment work on their property adjoining the Red Wing at Copper City. John Spaeth, George Burch. and John Will COX have prospected and made new locations of copper claims at Hunters bay
 Prospecting has been given an i'm petus by Lie successful operation of a number of properties The district can stand prospecting, however, for the total area of the Ketchikan min ing district is 9370 square miles, of which 2S00 square miles is represent ed by Prince of Wales island alone.

NUMBER OF STEPS TO A MILE.

How many steps does the average person take to the mile? The pace of British infantrymen is said to be the longest of any infantrymen in the world. The Russians pace is the shortest, being but 271A inches, the French. Italian and Austrian pace is z3 inches and the Germans do 31 in ches.
 But your own pace, what of it? 1t depends upon your height, say scien- lists. Take your eyebrow height, halve it, and that represents your pace. You will find it to be somewhere between 30 inches and 32 inches, so that you will need between 20O0 and 2100 paces to the mile.

A WORD TO WOMAN.

From thousands of women today the cry is risjpa Give us free oppor- tmity and the training that will fit us for freedom" Not as so many have mistakenly thought, that women may compete with men in a senseless strug- gle for mastery, tut in order, first, to learn, and afterwards to perform that work in society which they can do better than men What such work is it must be women's purpose to find out. But before this is possible to be decided all fields of activity must be open for them to euter.-C GasQuoine Hartley in The Truth About Wom- an"

THE KAISER TALKS
 THROUGH HIS HAT
BELIEVES HE MUST CONSERVE LIFE FOR DUTIES ASSIGNED
 BY DIVINE APPOINTMENT.

LONDON, July 29-A correspond ent of the Times says that Emperor William, during his trip to a point somewhere in the rear of Peronne on the Somme front, made a speech to the German wounded soldiers which has since attracted a great deal of at tention in Germany. The Emperor is quoted thus:
 Tt is the most poignant grief of my life that l am unable to take a more active part in this war. It is my earnest desire to take my place in the trenches and to deal such blows at our enemies as my age and strength would permit
 'I could take my place with the youngest of you, and l promise that I would leave my mark on the enemy. But the inscrutable Almighty has willed otherwise Into my care has been committed by divine destiny the leadership of our country, its armies and its forces on land and sea.
 The burden of thinking and decid- ing and leading has been hard upon me. and realizing this. l know that my life must not be risked in the formost line of battle where my feelings, if unrestrained, would carry me swiftly.
 My life must be conserved care fully for the welfare of Germany in order to carry out duties assigned to me by divine appointment

he has extracted ove 100 tons of
high grade ore. He says that
people have been walking over

on the White Elephant belonging
to Dan Hughey near by, had paid
nc attention to it and ran on to
it merely by accident. He is con
fident that it will make one OF
the best claims in the district, He
has eight men working on it, and
has a carload of ore ready for ship
ment already on the loading plar-
form at the foot of the mill. -

THOMAS IS CHOSEN
MANAGER OF RESCUE
Is REELECTED AT AN
NUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Rescue-Eula Min
in" company, held in San Francisco
resulted in the return of the old
board of directors and the 70
elect;o of the former officers. The
only change was the naming of Joe
Josephs to the directory in place
of Ed Luckett, deceased. The re
suit was as follows: President,
Charles d. Laing; vice president,
Hermann Zadig; secretary, Charles
d. Olney; directors, G. d. Laing,
Hermann Zadig, Joe Josephs. J. w.
Dorsey and William Edwards.
The result is accepted as a vote
of confidence in the old manage
ment, which has had charge of
the property for the past eight
years and under whose control it
was brought from a prospect to a
producing mine.
j. A. Thomas, former foreman
OF the mine, was advanced to the
position of superintendent, taking
the place of J. w. Sherwin, whose
entire time will be devoted to the
interests of the West End and
Halifax mining companies. 1t was
with this understanding that Mr..
Sherwin was elected to fill the va
cancy with these two companies due
to the death of John w. Chandler,
and he has continued in the pO-
sition at the request of the Res
cue management until a choice
could be made bv the full board
