 of Mammoth Type.

Work on the big mills of the AL aska-Juneau Gold Mining Company on the hillside just back of Juneau IS progressing rapidly and the ouiId- ing now looms up and dwarts every thing in its neighbOrhood.
 The steel framework for the coarse crusher plant has been com pIeted by the steel workers of the Kansas City Structural Steel Com pany. and the work of putting on the sides and roof is now being pushed. The framework of the power house is approximately half finished and is being rushed as fast as the steel workers can rivet the frames together The foundations for the mill building proper are ap- proximately 50 per cent completed. according to statements made to- day by Charles Bruff, one of the firm which designed the structure.
 Some of the machinery for the crusher plant ana Jne power house is already on the ground and will he installed as fast as the other work will allow. Part of the crush CTS have been delivered and are ly- ing on the Alaska-J uneau dock, as IS also part of one of the large gen. orators for the power house and The boilers for the same place.
 The power house will be capable of generating and delivering l2,OOV kilowats of electricity to the mill, compressors. and other electrically driven machinery on the works. The two generators to be installed will be the largest in Alaska at the present time. each of them haN ing a capacity of 5000 kilowats. They are Of the General Electric make. and are of the Curtis Turbine type of machine.
 The boilers for plant are on the dock and will be placed a9 soon as possible. They are four iE number, each of S25 horse power, of the Sterling Water Tube make. They will be placed in batteries ot two. The machinery in the coarse crush ing plant will consist Of two Grya- tory and two jaw crushers, which will also be the largest in Alaska, even exceeding in size the cruCherS at Thane. The Gryatory crushers are the No 9. AHis-Chalmers make and the jaw crushers will be 36 by IS each.
 The work of erecting the steel is being done by the Kansas City Structural Steel Company, under the direct supervision of Thomas McCurnin. while the entire oonstruc- ton work is under the direct super vision of Robert Semple. The plans for the building were worked out by the firm of Bradley, Brun and Le- Barthe.

He is at present in Seattle in connection with some business deals. and expects ultimately to dispose Of all his northern interests. CT have sold out most of my mining prop critics already" he said yesterday at the Arlington. but still have some realty and other property to dispose of.
