is located the Grady county well Of
the Oil state Petroleum company,
that they are Drawing the wintry

is being drilled with rotary, con

neighborhood, including couple Of
perfectly good stock wells, and a
small pond near by grew smaller and

Many of them have been with the com panies for years, and have raised and educated their children oa the island These men not alone have lost their positions but have 'os: their homes as the subsdence of the surface has wrecked hundreds of dwellings,.
 Willing workers all of yesterday endeavored to secure the household effects from these buildings. The work was fraught with danger. Mine guards are posted around the various Uropertids-to prevent accidents as the surface of the ground is still moving.
 The Ready Bullion mlne which is once of the Treadwell group is still working. This property is the fur thest away from the channel and was It one time connected with the other mines but bulkheads of solid concrete were put in and the mine shu. off This precaution was taken in the event of such a happening as the present.

The Alaska United had produced over twelve millions and has paid dividends for a quarter of that amount. The Alaska Mexican produced four millions to date of which three and a half millions went to the stockholders.
 General Manager Bradley yesterday admitted to a representative of the Associated Press that the outlook for ever recovering any of the mines was hopeless.
 Across the bay at Juneau the Gastineau and Alaska Juneau corpor- ations Will take over. a lot of the men thrown out of employment for they have had shortage of men at Juneau this month past. Every en- deavor is being made to avoid any hardship being worked on any of the old employees of the Treadwell group and General Manager Bradley has expressed himself that he will per soDally attend to that matter.
 Douglas City is practically paraly- zed by this awful calamity. For years this has been most thriving community and was dependant on the big payroll of the group of mines. This amounted-for the three mines who went under--to close on two mill lion dollars a year.
 MT. Bradley has expressed himself that extra men would be put on at the Ready Bullion mine and that property would be worked at a great CT capacity than heretofore. He fur

there intimated that several properties of promise near Juneau would be exploited by his company who would do all in their power to further de- velope the country.
 This catastrophe will have a ma terial affect on Juneau. Many of the large business houses supplied Dou- gas island with the greater portion of its foodstuffs and other commodi- tes. The Douglass Island pay roll has added materially to the prosperity of the capital and the loss will be keenly felt.
 Latest advices from Juneau state that the surface around the mine properties keeps caving in. Many of the mine buildings and dwellings, have entirely disappeared. Hundreds of people from Juneau continue to ar rive on the island and the mine guards are kept busy keeping the more ventnresome ones from getting into danger.

JUNEAU, April 23.--Three of the largest units of the Treadwell group of mines were irretrievably lost at midnight on Saturday when the wa ters of the Gastineau channel broke through into the worked out stopes and flooded the mines.

He turned in general alarm and all of the under ground workers were quickly and orderly raised to the surface Not a man was Cost, though hundreds of muees. and horses were caught by the fast rising water and drowned in the underground workings.
 The excitement was intense at the time of hoisting the men out of the various mines. However, the man. agement had the situation well in hand. In the working of these prop critics special precautions had been taken in the event of such an oc- curence happening.
 The sea water came in along fault near where some men were at work. First it was but a few inches of wa ter trickllng down from where it had been stoped out but the volume kept increasing. It was lucky that the fracture held up as we'll as it did else the loss of life would have been great
