 PROSPERITY

Things are moving in the At lin District, the town is being ra- Qidly rebuilt and general tone of prosperity seems to have set tied over that section of the coun- try" says J. M. Ruffner, the pio- neer mining man from Atlin, who Is a visitor until Thursday in the Garden City.
 Mir. RufGner has been operating hydraulic property at the head of Spruce creek. He has closed down tor the season, owing to a shortage of water. He is also op- erating a drift mine on lower Spruce Creek. He reports that his eolors are good and that pay Is being gotten from the earth in good quantities.
 Speaking of the district in gen. eral he informed an Alaskan re- porter that Atlin was enjoying one of the best seasons that it had ever experienced. Practically all of the merchants have either rebuilt or are planning on rebuilding the buildings which were wiped out by fire at the beginning of the season. Many tourists have come to Atlin this summer and all seem ed highly pleased with the lake country. This is a branch of i'm portant activity that is just begin ming to develop for the Atlin peO- pie and will in the future prove winner for the business men of the lake side country.
 The Engineer mine Is making good shipments of ore and indlca- tions point to q continuance of ac- tiYity with that mine. Prospect ors are working the country and reporting strikes every now and then. A shortage Oi labor has held pack the speedy progress of some of the camps. Higher wages are being paid in the Atlin camps than ever before. Plenty of work can be found for the miner in the Atlin district if he is agood work CT and is willing to buckle into the game.
 Many of the drift mines will continue operations all winter. Sclae of the surface mines will be compelled to close during the winter season.

CITY ORDINANCE
 BEING REVISED

Finding that the City Ordinances Which were remodeled and drafted in 1908, are partly void because of mOn-couformity with the Territorial laws passed since that date, the city council has determined to pass new ordinances which will give them rertain legal rights neces- sarv to the proper governing of the city.
 H. L. Faulkner, prominent Ju- Reau attorney, and familiar with city municipal work, has agreed to draw uO ordinances to replace the ones which are void by non con formity. He has promised to set to work immediately on the draft ing of the ordinances. As soon as completed they will be passed by the council and become the laws of the rity.
 Tho sections of the city ordin- ances which refer to the collection of personal taxes are anticipated by non conformity with the Territorial laws. These will receive the spec ial attention of the council and as soon as they appear on the city statute books, campaign will be waged to collect back taxes and money due the city.

TAKE
HAND IN THE FIGHT

CHICAGO, June 3.-The German
Americans took an active hand in
the pre-convention fight against
Col. Roosevelt today. Senator Pen
rose and other republican leaders
received many kilograms today ask
ing them to prevent at all costs the
nomination of the colonel by the re-
publicans. Senator Penrose, ii Is
stated, heard from the Pennsylva-
MIA Germans today.
There have been persistent ru-
mors that Penrose. while perhaps
not ready to support the colonel,
will not lend his support in the
fight against him.
Favorite sons hoped the Roose-
Welt situation would develop a dead
lock and furnish an opportunity for
a compromise candidate.

High Capital Costs.

According TO the opinion OF the Ma.
tional City Bank the point must be near
at which all construction work not OF
imperative necessity will be held in
check by the high capital costs. Upon
general principles IL appears to be "A
doubtful policy to put capital into con-
struction under present abnormal condi-
tons. and II certainly is now In the inter-
est OF stability In industry that every
dollars worth OF work that can he post
poned shall be postponed. argues the
bank. II Is. OF course. only a question OF
time when the stage is reached at which
prices will bring demand under control
and increasing production will overtake
and pass 1t. And unless history has
stopped repeating itself there then will
be a story OF idle plants and unemployed
men. The NATIONAL City Bank rays that
the business of the world has been dis
organized n thrown out OF the rus
tomary channels by the war and that
there is no power great enough to pre-
vent those i'll results. but that they win
cure themselves by natural processes
more surely than they can be remedied
by any authority possessed by the Gov
eminent.
