Charles Preston, who died in the Ju- ncau hospital last Saturday morning, was one of the brightest young men of Douglas Island. When hardly more than a boy, he took the position as head of the electrical department of the Trcadwell and Alaska Juneau mines, and filled the position with uncommon energy and ability. He was stricken in the prime of life, with perhaps a great future before him. His relatives have the deepest sympathy of many friends whom he has left behind.
