JUNEAU VOTES "NET'

The voting at the special local option election at Juneau on June 6. ordered by Judge Jennings resulted in 7I2 votes being east in favor of the saloons and 2S4 in op- position Besides these votes there were AIS "sealed votes' cast by persons whose right to vote in the election was question able and 723 persons were registered who did not vote. The ballotng thus showed that a large majority of those entitled to give expression to their preference on the question favored the licensing of saloons in Juneau. though the voting Was not con elusive.
 The law requires that a majority of the white male and female American citizens over the age of 2l years residing within two miles of the place where it Is proposed to license saloons must give their consent by affirmative action before licenses can be issued and the burden to prove that majority of the people have given such cen sent Is placed upon the applicants for licenses, says the Empire. For that reason those not voting at the elections that Were called in the municipalities of the tlrst d. vision but who are entitled to vote, are necessarily counted dry until they have given all affirmative expression of thelr c2n- sent to the issuance of licenses. Of the registered vote east, TYP voted vet ana 2S4 dry and 4l8 unregistered votes were cast and sealed by the judges. Ihese will be opened by the court. if not established to be illegal IL is believed that a large majority of them are favorable to the vets. Of those registered, 723 did not vote.
 The total registration was l,719. Those not registering and voting were AIS, mak- ing the total entitled to vote 2,l97. The total necessary for a wet majority. therefore. would be 1,099. This means that the wct> must get 327 votes from the sealed ballots 2uG those registering but not voting 723, and those votes which were se&led, 4lS. or from a total of l,l4l votes. It Is be heved this will be an easy matter.
 Judge R w Jennings wi! have the sealed votes opened as soon as the first ap?l:ca- ton for a renewal of liquor license k re ceived. If 327 of them are wet the in vestigaton need go TO further.

Destination at Council

During the breakup of the Niukuk river the worst flood and high water ever known at Council swept the town, destroying many cabins and wiping out the personal prop erty of natives and white men, according to a Nome dispatch of June ). The lower section of Council sustained the greater loss many of the oId-timers declaring it was the worst in the memory of either whites CT natives All along the water front it was rendered uninhabltable, prac- ,icalIy all of it being crushed and buried ;nder eight feet of ice. Great cakes of ice were deposited in the main streets
 No lives were lost at Council but it is feared that a native village twel,e miles below was completely wiped out and that two white men who resided there were killed

Alaska Tin Mines

Gales blowing day in and day out, and only stopping long enough for the wind to change to another quarter, have proved too hard a problem fer even the fcroclous Alas kan mosquito to solve, says A. $. Graham, manager of the American Tin Dredging Company, to the Seattle Post -lnteligcncer. The company operates on Buck creek, near York, fifty miles north of Teller. MT. Ora ham works a force of men on the dredGe all the summer season. and while other marsh districts of the North are simply swarming with mosquitos, this region, which
 IS right at the coast, gets the full sweep of the gales from the Arctic ocean and is kept free from the pests. There is too much wind for the insects to even get a foothold on solid ground, let alone trying to fly up into a mans facc' said hlr. Ora ham. The wind blows almost constantly. The only times when 1t is ever calm at all are when the wind shifts to another quar- ter Then there may be a period of few minutes when there is no hreeze.' The American Tin Dredging Comp2ny takes out about sixty tons of tin in season, says Mr
 Graham. This tin, which Is sold in Singa- pore, brings about $l ,OOO a ton But for every ton of tin recovered from the bed of the river the workers get about $22 in gold dust and nuggets. According to Mir Ora ham, the company has several years work ahead of it. and as they are working from the streams mouth upwards, the deposits should get richer as they go upstream, We are one of the few tin mining companies in the country,' he said. We credge these tin nuggets and small particles from the bot tom of the stream just like gold is dredged elsewhere. While ~e ship our ore to Singa- pore, s new smelling company which han Jles in is now operating in New Jersey, and we may ship our product there.
