ALAsKA JUNEAU

Alaska Juneau stock has taken am up- ward pump on the stock market It IS now uotcd at S2.2j share It was thought for a time that this upward tendency was caus- ed bv the pending legislation to provide for a bonus on gold When other low-grade -old stocks did not follow the Alaska Ju- aeau upward, d.. conclusion must be reach ed that the rise is am indication of appreci atiou for the showing of the company
 Few people realize that great things are going ou at the Alaska Juneau proper ties to put the mine on paying basis. and few locally know the great amount of gold hat has been recovered from the ore there within the past two months
 The law to give the Slo bonus on gold would undoubtedly be good thing for his property, but even without that law with the improvements in milling system now under way completed, the Alaska Ju- urau could wor., out its own salvation
