In the presence of a gathering OF
over forty Republicans of this county
in Skowhegan yesterday, Hon. George
Weeks of Fairfield announced that he
should not be a candidate at the
June primaries for nomination for the
office of Governor of Maine. This
statement was followed by sincere
expressions of regret, as Mr.. Weeks
was considered a strong man. The
reason for such a decision is based
upon the large amount of business
which at present and for some time
past has been confronting this promi-
nent attorney of Somerset's down
river section.
1t was the occasion of the Republi-
can County Committee meeting that
Mr. Weeks announced his decision,
the same being called primarily to
urge the organization of the town

]. ii. KING JOINS
 WORTdEN MILLS
 AS SALES MANAGER

James II. King. principal owner and manager of the Alaska Steam Laundry and newly elected member of the Juneau city council has taken over an interest in the Worthen Lum- ber company and has become asso. ciated with 1t as general sales man. ager. MT. King will retain his in- terest in and management of the Alaska Steam Laundry business.
 In entering the lumber business again. Mr. King is returning to his old vocation. Before entering the laundry business in Juneau three years ago Mir. King had been in the lumber and hardware business all of his life. Hc was connected with the Alaska Supply Company after coming to Alaska from Seattle until he entered the laundry business. Before that time he was connected with large Seattle hardware firm. For many years he was engaged in the hardware and lumber business in Kansas.
 Mir. King has had a successful bus mess career in Juneau, and his ad. dition to the Worthen Mills will give greater strength to the organization of that institution.
 Mir King anticipates an active building season at Juneau during the coming summer and the other Gas tineau channel communities, and he believes that the quality of the pro duct of the Worthen Mills should en able that concern to get good share of the lumber trade.

COPPER CLAIMS ARE NOW
 TO BE OPENED ABOUT TEN
 MILES FROM VALDEZ ciTN

The extensive copper properties at Sulphide Gulch. about ten miles from Valdez, on the opposite side will be developed on an extensive of Lowe River from Camp Comfort scale this summer. according to a letter received by Charles Sealey on the last boat, says the Valdez Prospector
 The letter is from Dr. F. M Boyle who is now in Philadelphia, and States that the property which is owned by himself and Capt. Peabody will be worked this summer and that further arrangements have been made and that ample funds to carry out the projected development have been secured.
 This property was prospected to considerable extent last season, and some very good showings made. The ore bodies are extensive and some of the leads carry high val ues Owing to the size of the ore chutes, 1t is anticipated the ore can be mined at Q very low cost, and that the property VIII be a large di- yidend producer
 These claims were originally To- cated several years ago by A. M. Powell. the well-known guide and prospector. who carried on the as- sessment work for several years. Several deals were made by Powell for tho development of the property, but financial arrangements always fell through, and two or three years ago Powell ceased to represent the claims.
 Last summer the claims were re- located and considerable prospecting done with satisfactory results, some high grade ore having been uncov- cred. On this showing. it is evil dent Capt Peabody has succeeded in financing the proposition.
 During the time the property was held by Powell. several mining en- gineers of national reputation wis., ited the claims and gave favorable reports.
