MARIPOSA MAY BE RAISED IN THE
 SPRING IS REPORT

It has been learned from reliable source that the Alaska Steamship company Is seriously considering the raising of the wrecked steamer Mari posa next spring just as soon as the weather conditions permit, providing that she is still intact as she is at present.
 At the time of the wreck last No. vember when raising her was consid- cred, the tug Salvor came north, but having a number of easier contracts on hand, made no serious efforts to even approach the wreck, the pcsit- ion being considered too dangerous to make the attempt at that time. But now, 1t is rumored that the hull will be sold at auction by the insurance brokers who paid insurance of $300,000 It is believed she will be sold for few hundred dollars. The Maripoaa is easily worth $1, 1,00O,0 1t Is said, and in good enough condition to warrant an exhaustive attempt to raise her remodel her entirely. Her cargo of copper ore. once removed, will tighten her considerably, it is believed, and thus the work of salVing her made much easier.

SALTCHUCK MINE READ ' SHIP ORE
Second Milling Concentrating Plant of Mining District
 Installed at KaSaan
By IRENE DU HAMEl

T have just paid my first visit to the new Milling concentrating plant installed last fall at the Salt Chuck mining property at Kasaan, and which have seen for the first time" said J. E. Chilberg this morning in the lobby of the Revilla hotel where he was comfortably ensconced, when accosted by the pursuing reporter, mot that have not been reminded of it's exist ence," he added with a chuckle thru the bills
 MT. Chilberg, accompanied by MT. A R. Larson returned yesterday from Kasaan on the Launch Harry, from his first visit to the Salt Chuck Mines, which was the main object of his visit to Alaska at this time.
 There has been some concentrates produced but they were not sufficient ly dry for shipmnt so had to be kept there during the winter until dry but we expect the first shipment of concen- trates will be ready the latter part of next week to be sent to the shelter at Tacoma. The ore runs copper, gold, silver and platinum, and this new system of concentrating will save on shipping alone twenty tons as for merly to one ton at present, obtain ing the same amount of metals. The saving on freight alone will be con siderable item" MT. Chilberg explained We have not a very large plant" he continued, 'employing only twenty men and expect to concentrate about fifty tons of ore a day. The mine is in charge of Fred Chapman who is an experienced miner. This will be the second concentrating plant in this mining district, the other, I believe be- l ing at Complex and upon the success of these two plants will depend in a measure, the development of a great many mines and prospects that are to be found in and around Ketchikan, because it will make possible opera. tions at profit, under these condit. ions, when they could only be operated at loss before.
 ."I am sure, myself, that this is go ing to be successful and will increase in time both the developments and payrolls tributary to this town Right now people do not give much attention to mining, excepting where the pr ucts are necessary for the conduct oi the war. As nearly all the energy oi the Alaskans is being used to meeting the demands of war, no time and very little money can be provided for the development of new things" MT. Chi berg ended.
 Real AIaaka Bank Now
 T suppose you heard that the Min CTS & Merchants Bank is really an6 truly an Alaska Bank now?" Mir. Chil berg questioned in his turn, and up on receiving an answer in the negative he explained that at the beginning o1 the new year the local bank trans ferred it's charter from the State O. Washington, to the Alaska charter. UI till last fall no legislation had evel been passed ill the territory to con duct banking business, but under the new Alaska Banking law, this was remedied. MT.
