Juneau Mining Man Thinks Juneau, Alaska, Will Con- tinue to Improve
 Now.
PAPER MAKING TO COME
Alaska Gastineau Mill May Be Converted for Paper Manufacturing When
 Gold Is Mined.

With the same old confidence in the future of Alaska, and firmly be lieving that the improvement that already has set in will continue, Bart lett L. Thane is back in Juneau, and will remain here indefinitely. MT Thane, as Managing Director of the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Com pany, will go over the affairs of that company, and aid in preparing plans for the future.
 Paper a Future Industry
 MT Thane says the Alaska Cas- tineau will continue to be a going concern in Juneau. While the life of the mine may not be as long as it was believed once that it would be, on account of the unliklihood that production costs will ever again be reduced to the basis that they were in 1913, a basis upon which the company was financed, it will continue operating and producing gold, and when that part of the ore that will stand the increased cost of production is extracted and milled, the Thane plant will probably be turned into paper making concern. Plans toward this end have been al ready made.
 Speaks Of Other Properties
 No attempt has been made to measure the life of the Alaska Gas tineau as a gold mine, and that will be determined by future develop ments in the cost of commodities and other producing costs, and the future action of the Government. It is sui ficient to say that as far as can now be seen the company will con tinue to mine and mill gold ore.
 MT. Thane sees in the plans of the Jualin and the discovery of good ore bodies in the Ebner favorable indica tions for this country. He believes the Jualin people are going about the development of the Berner Bay properties in the right way. The tunnel they are driving, he says, will not only open their own property but will afford access to the Kensing ton, Comet and other properties.
 Encourages Gold Production
 The removal of excess profits tax es from the gold mining industry is encouraging to gold production, in the opinion of MT. Thane, and should make far greater activity in ths quartz and placer fields of Alaska
 Eagle River To Go Ahead
 Mr Thane says the Eagle River properties will. unquestionably, be developed, but he does not expec any activity there this year.
 "The fishing business will con tinue favorable for several years. or account of the fact that there is nov and will continue demand for food stuffs," Mir. Thane says.
 Big Paper Mills Soon
 MT. Thane believes that paper pro duction will be an Alaska industr. before long, and that it will be ops of the mainstays of this Territory He thinks Juneau will eventually be come the center for the industry il Alaska. If conditions should no change. and it should be determined to turn the Alaska Gastineau into { paper company at sometime in ths future. the cost of the change would

Says Alabamians Made Good in France and Put State
 on the Map

Sergt. Ted Cottrell, who went overseas with the gas and flame service of the first army corps, has returned after a years foreign service. He has all of his papers entitling him to the rank of lieutenant, but the signing of the ar mistice put a stop to all promotions in the service.
 "I enlisted In October, 1917" said Ser geant Cottrel 'and was train at the American university In Washington, sail ing from New York in January 1918, We were in several different sectors in France and were sent to the front with the British forces where we remained for two months. It was at Lenz that I was badly burned about the arm and face but which proved to be nothing serious and the only thing I have left to remind me of the accident is the scar on my arm. During my service overseas I spent less than one month in the hos pital.
 After I was burned I was transferred back of the lines where I was an in- structor in the gas defense school. This was most interesting work. but I wanted to get back up in the front lines and help send the gas over to Fritz and his gang. I was training officers and in my class I had Ty Cobb, Christy Matthew son and various well known American athletes, who were as good fighters as they were athletes.
 While in the front lines we put on bombar rdment of 1S0 tons of gas on a fla xxhtn nG tI,a fact bcmbardment in history, as I have since learned. To us over there it didn't seem to be anything very unusual and the Germans were the first to realize this fact
 '"The Alabama boys certainly made an awful name for themselves in two ways, awful fighters and awful round CTS, but there are no more popular boys
 in France today than those from Ala bama. This state is probably the most widely known in France of all the other states in the Union, and this was ac- complished through the splendid fighting ability of the men.
 After the armistice was signed and the boys realized the war was over they were all anxious to get back home and it was certainly happy bunch that came over on the ship l did when we reached the point where we could see the Statue of Liberty. Of course. I was most anxious to get to Birmingham to my wife and son, and could hardly wait for the day when I was to receive my discharge"
 Sergeant Cottrell Is a son-in-law of Robert Morris. chief deputy United States marshal, and is well known in this city, where he has lived for number of years Prior to his enlistment he was employed with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
