hills, you have always done what vour
car wanted you to do, because you have
been limited to the power in the flv-

FOLD GANG" IS THERE

A letter was recently received in Juneau from E. J. Doherty, formerly at the Perseverance mine. but who is now connected with the Northwest Magnesite Company, the new corpor- ation engaged in developing magnes- ite deposits at Chewalah in the State of Washington for B. L. Thane and associates. MT Doherty sends his regards to all former friends and acquaintances and expresses himself as being we'll satisfied with his new position.
 The letter in part says: "The eli mate here is quite a contrast to what I enjoyed around Juneau for several years They had one rainy day here between May 1st and No vember 18th, but rain here is a drizzle in Juneau.
 q have struck a pretty busy job here. The people in charge are of about the same type as those who were managing the Gastineau Com pany during construction days and it would be foolish to look Tor any better on this green earth.
 There are quite a few Alaskans here. Angus Mackay is superintend- ent of construction and his family are with him. Paddy O'Neil is mine foreman and A. c. Thane is foreman at the mill. B. B. Neid- ing was here about a month ago on his way east and B. L. Thane has paid us one visit"
 The Angus Mackay mentioned in the letter was for a number of years connected with the development work of the Ebner property here and Paddy O'Neil was foreman in charge of driving the Sheep Creek tunnel for the Alaska Gastineau Company, at which time a worlds record for distance and amount of hard rock removed was made.
