Its Importance Prehistoric.

Like the neighboring city of Myce-
nae, Nauplia reached its greatest ln-
portance in the era of myth and legend.
BY the dawn of historical times If had
waned in influence and population. ana
the historian Pausanias. writing in so
AID. described il as z deserted city.
.It is probable that Nauplia was
founded not by colonists from ARGOS
and Mycenae. the two important ad-
jacent cities of the plain. but by set
tiers who arrived by sea. The very
name of the city would seem to sug-
gesr this-nauplios meaning seaman

throughout that period in which
Athens, Sparta. Corinth and Thebes
were emblazoning their names on the
pages of ancient history. Nauplia's
share in Peloponnecian politics was
obscured by larger affairs. In the
middle ages, however. the seaport
once more came to the fore, and when
the crusaders took Constantinople in
1904 the Byzantine governor Leon
Sgouros. attempted to found a creek
monarchy, with his headquarters here.
The effort met with failure. but the
town remained in Greek hands for
several years 1t finally passed un-
der the control of the Franks and was
made the capital of the duchy of Ar
gos During this period the feudal
system was established in the Morea.

As usual, all companies contributed to the work at the Central shaft. This shaft was sunk IF feet to a depth of 2471 feet.

Perkins, of the mining engineering firm of Smith and Perkins. and Iicnncn Jennings, one of the famous men the Rand, recently made an exhaustive re- port upon future policies for the Treadwcll properties. and they agree that the outlook warrants lower de vclopment and explorations. They further agree that the development and exploration and the installation of the necessary equipment and even the operation of the proper ties at the lower depths all call for into one. The examination of the properties and all the available da- Ia resulted in their fixing the basis for the ownership of the new com pany as follows: 5i percent tO go to the Treadwcll shareholders. 34 per cent. to the Alaska United shareholders (Owncrs of the Ready Bullion and 70OD and 12 percent. to the Alaska Mexican
 Should the consolldation take place and the developments that follow warrant it, new milling plant and other improvements would follow.
 The report quotes figures to show that q new plant and continent ne cessary for the completion of the mine on the latest plans would cost approximately $1.00O per ton of daily capacity-the present ca pacity is 1850 tons day, so the investment would not be far short of $5.OOO.OO0. IL also shows that the development work required un- der the plans call for five and a half years of work. It also shows that it would be possible to reduce the operating cost by 32 cents a ton.
 For the purpose of arranging d basis of fair consolidation the committee which made the report had to fix present valuation of the various properties. Their finds arc included in the following table:

While there has been a steady de- vc!opment Of the mines. through the usual routine of work. the manage mcnt of the Trcadwcll group has not undertaken any especial develop ment program during the last twelve months.
 The surface improvements have not been extensive. yet there have been many important changes and additions in the mills and at the mines. During the year there has been a gradual change from steam to electric power. and several worn out units Of machines have been re- placed with new units.
 Another important installation is the new steel head frame at the Ready Bullion shaft number two. This frame is now under cOnstruC- tion. When finished it will house two gyration CrusherS and con crete ore bin. It will contain 133 tons of structural steel and will be no feet tall.

It's problems and underground conditions seem dis tinct,, although the lode channel in all the mines is a dikc-rock of simi- lar character that may possibly have had the same origin.
 The western section consists of the Trcadwell, Mexican. and Seven Hundred Foot mines.

The consolidation of the three companies operating the four mines on Douglas Island-thc Trcadwcll. the Mexican. the 700 and the Ready Bullion-into one company, and the development of the properties to greater depth. and finally the in stallation of a new milling plant and other equipment on more mod ern standards, is among the immcd- fate probabilities in mining develop mcnt in this district.
 The working of the lower dcvcl- opcd levels of the properties have not been wholly satisfactory, and the upper levcls-thosc above the 1600 foot lcvel-arc showing signs of exhaustion. In fact for the last three years. the companies have been drawing on reserves for a constantly increasing proportion of their ore for milling. It is proper to say right here. however. that the prospecting and developing below the 230O foot level are encouraging.
