Among the visitors to Dawson this wees has been Captain John J. Donovan, mining recorder. Unit ed States commissioner, official "dry squad" agen. for explosives, and poo-bah generally for Uncle Sam st Steele creek, on the Forty mile Isver. This i' the captains s first visit to the metropolis in many moons. He first came to DaW son in the stampede iii 1898, and was here until 1903. He dug the first drain across the townsite of Dawson, in '9S and was compensated voluntarily for the labor by Gov ernor Ogilvie. He also built the Donovan hotel, which stood on the present site of the Francis and which was burned in what was known as the Hotel Mcdonald fire, which occurred in 1904 and swept out many buildings. Capt. Dono- van afterward went to Alaska, and was in Fairbanks, Koyukuk and other camps. and tben for two years slipped down to the Canal Zone and helped Uncle Sam build the Panama canal. Later he re turned north and became the great factotum at Steele creek He is yet as vigorous and as rugged as ever. and fit for other new adven- lures, and is anxious to see some thing exciting started. The captain left yesterday for the return to Fortymile. He reports that dis trict orderly.

HOLLOW
 NEEDS ROADS HHH nEGE EHHHHDuhs

 nedy is now ready to haul ore with his auto-tractor, hay ing put the roads in shape 30 that the machine can pass over them with heavy leads. This has re- quired the greater part of three months, and the work has extend- ed all the way from this city to Rainy Hollow.
 From this time until snow falls the tractor will be busy, hauling out the ore from the copper pro-. perties in the Rainy Hollow tis- trict. Teams will also be used, and it is believed that quite number of tons of high grade ore will be brought here and transshipped to the shelter at Tacoma. a This years work will be only starter. and Is made to convince the more skeptical ones that the rich ore deposits in the Rainy Hollow district is not a myth but reality.
 Next summer is expected to see the beginning of great activities by the owners of the various copper properties, themselves, and instead of bonding the claims and waiting for outsiders to develop the ore bodies and do the shipping, this will be done by the men who have pa tiently held on to the mines for so many years.
 The plans which are now formu- lating is for tthe movement of large amounts of ore by heavy trac- tors, and this will be continued until such time as an electric railway can be constructed into the mines. '.
 ne power for Ruch road Is unlimited, and already several wat CT power sites have been filed on and placed on record, and when the power road is finally installed the operating expense will be very small.
 The greatest handicap which the district has had to contend with during the past several years has been the poor condition of the roads. This has not been due to lack oe work on them by the vari- ous road commissions, but has been Ioccasioned by the elements which have caused much, damage to the roads, through wasnouts due to high water, snowslides, and land slides. Through the lower, or river level sections traversed by the roads the high waters have made them practically impossible for either teams, tractors or foot travel.
 At 3 point about four miles north of Wells, GA miles north of Haines) and extending for @ distance of two miles, this condi- tion is exceptionally bad, ana if the government could survey a new route thus overcoming the water drawback the Alaska end of the road would be very good. Beginning with the British Colum- bia road at Pleasant Camp, for a distance of about two miles cor douroY should be placed and this would overcome every difficulty that has hampered the development of this vast mineral belt, which has by shipments of as high as five hundred tons proven that the ore is of great richness.
