JUNEAU, April 22.-The Alaska Treadwell, Alaska United and Alaska Mexican the three largest units of the famous Treadwell group of mines, have been abandoned as result of subsistence of the face along a fault into the enormously worked-out stopes which let the waters of Gastineau channel into the lower workings. The miners forced out and the horses and mules tramming the on the lower levers were drowned on Saturday at mid night
 The alarm given by an engineer who had been watching the general settling of the surface, and all men quickly and orderly raised to the surface General Manager Bradley anticipated trou- ble and had taken precautions to speedily remove every man from the danger zone. The bulkheads are constructed of solid concrete and the flood ed properties and the Ready Bullion property are holding and it is confidently believed that the pro perty is safe and will continue to be operated.
 The misfortune is one of the greatest in the his tory of Alaska mines, and plans are being prepared as speedily possible to use the thousand men thrown out of employment in the Juneau mines, across the channel, where there has been shortage of men, The flooding of the mines falls heavily on Douglas City, which is the resident section of Tread well. This community has been one of the most pros porous for its size in Alaska the result of steady

payroll Treadwell will now be cut off of about sixtyfve per cent of it's revenue and Juneau across the channel will also be affected in small degree but the arrangements for the idle Treadwell men to work in the mines near Juneau gives the situation more hopeful aspect.
 Constructing Engineer Bradley admitted to an Associated Press representative Sunday afternoon that the outlook for ever riresuming operations in the three big mines is hopeless All day Sunday thousands of visitors flocked to TreadweH. The guards maintained by the. company kept the crowds away from the sinking surface, while the residents of the stricken mining community removed their household effects and the4nners took their wearing apparel from the mine room houses, several of which are sinking into the ground.
 The Alaska Treadwe Company is incorporated for 100000 shares at $25 share and produced oyer $4O,OO0,0O0 in gold since 1882. Of this amount $6- IOO0O00 was distributed among the stockholders The Alaska United produced $l2000000 to date and paid $3, 100000 in dividends to stockholders The Alaska Mexican produced $4,000,000 of which amount $3, 100000 went to the stockholders.

Our townsman, Dave Mcdonald, has launched sturdy cannery tender at Seattle, which he recently had built and is now on his way to Cordova with his new craft. The Post-Intelli- gencer gives the following interesting account of the launching:
 Trim and sturdy looking with her seagoing lines, the eannery tender D. Mcdonald, built for Captain Dave Me Donald, was launched yesterday from the plant of the Ballard Marine Rail- way. The craft was christened by Miss Margaret George, daughter of MT. and Mrs. F. J. George.

JUNEAU, April 23 - The Treadwell Mexican mines were flooded by caven of the beach, which started Saturday night at II o'clock. Within hour every level was filled with water. All of the miners were given warning and escaped just as the water reached the upper levels 1t is estimated that the property is damaged to the extent of $1l O0O00O and eleven hundred men are temporarily out of em iloyment. Consulting Engineer Bradley announces that he believes he can bukhead the mine and pump the water out. All the men will be employed on the surface They working the Ready Bullion mine, which so far is safe although leaking when the in of the beach occurred The Treadwell natatorium and also the fire hall disappeared into four hundred feet deep Other buildings on the beach are threatened, and many large cracks indicate further slides. The company will probably acquire property and open 1t up on Nevada creek.

MUCH Al T|V|TY AT COPPER
 MINES

P. J. Bonner, who last fall took over the Erickson copper properties near Mccarthy, has transported about 75 tons of ore from the mine to Mo Carthy by sleds and has shipped the same to the Tacoma shelter. The ore is of high grade, and the property is generally admitted to be one of the most promising in that district.
 MT. Bonner writes as follows about conditions in the interior:
 "It may be interesting to your read CTS to know that Mccarthy is fast becoming the copper center of Alaska The Mother Lode Mines Company has shipped fifty carloads of ore that they have sledded about 16 miles, up to the present time. No effort has been made to ship ore unless the mine was di- rectly on the railroad, but the ship ment by the company of two carloads of ore brought in by sleds for a dis tance of 35 miles, and the shipment ny tut hOlueT LOut HdS ueIuOuSLTdteu that ore may be brought long dis tance and shipped at a good profit.
 There are several promising claims tributary to Mccarthy, that will de- velop and be shpipers by next fall The Tjosevig group will be- gin active operations for the devel- Opment in the next thirty days. The Chitti group (known as the Erickson property) on Glacier creek, shows every indication of being a big pro- ducer by next season. The shipment of two carloads of ore by P. J. Bon ner is but sampling test and was the result of development work only. The Kennicott Mines Company is working about 400 men and they are putting out over 1000 tons a week. Mccarthy is looking very prosperous, and we are looking forward to a big boom both in mining and building this season."
