G ELDoM has this community suffered a severer

ment yesterday that Major William Gouverneur
Ramsay, vce-president, director and chief engineer
Of p L DUPONT de Nemours G. Company. was dead. Few

when the announcement OF death from pneumonia was
made
Major Ramsay OF the ablest and most popu-
lar of the DUPONT Company officials While his official
responsibilities great. he found time in his busy
life to evince keen practical and beneficial interest
in the social, commercial, industrial and civic az
fairs OF our city and State.
BY professional colleagues and others who had fol-
lowed his life work he regarded one OF the
ablest Of American engineers. Those who knew him
in social and civic admired him for the many
fine qualities he possessed He was generous and
warm-hearted and enjoyed the faculty Of making
and holding friends As executive officer in the
field Of engineering he enjoyed the confidence and
TEEN OF his many subordnates
That ne was a constructive genius is shown by the
successful manner in which he carried out the many
large engineering projects which he planned and
supervised
Blended with the widespread regret that his busy
and beneficial life has ended feeling Of profound
sympathy for his bereaved relatives who had idea
when he stricken the latter part OF last week
that his illness would have a mortal termination.

Scarboro. Me-, July A.--While three
deputy sherffs looked on powerless to stop
them, the strikebreakers, who numbered
$50. looted the Scarboro Beach station. it
was learned today, when they arrived
here Monday after the settlement of the
Portland street railway strike. Station
Agent Charles Walker was robbed of $40
in money while his stock in trade, consist
ing of candy, cigars, cigarettes and tobac-
co, which the railroad permits him to sell,
was sadly depleted by the thieving of the
lawless mob.
The men were marched to the Scarboro
station from the Dunstan car barn, the
car men refusing to take them on the
cars. and transported out of Maine. All
along the road the gang carried things
along with high hand, giving no heed
to the deputy sheriffs escorting them to
the railroad station. Upon arrival there
the men pushed Station Agent Walker
aside and not only helped themselves to
as much of his stock as they had use for.
but they also took all the money they
could find. An attempt to interfere only
brought abuse and A threat of bodily in

Mining in Alaska, 1916.

The Alaska mining industry will
have a very prosperous year in 1916,
according to a statement by Alfred H
Brooks. Of the United States Geological
Survey, covering the operations dur
ing the first six months Of the year
Copper mining will probably show the
greatest advances. About Is Alaska
copper mines are now shipping ore,
and developments are being pushed on
others. indicating that they may be-
come producers before the end Of the
year. There is every reason to be-
lieve, therefore. that the Alaska copper
output for 1916 will be greater than
that for any previous year. The gold
lode mines Of Alaska will also make
larger production this year than last.
but it is not now expected that the
placer mining industry Of Alaska will
show any marked increase. The ship
ment Of antimeny from Alaska is con-
tinuing, and some tungsten ores have
already been shipped from the Fair.
banks district.
