FLU HTS UNCA
 WITH DIRE RESULTS

UNGA, June 30-Times are very quiet here. The influenza has run it's course and nearly every person in the vicinity had it. Joe Lyons lost a little girl and an old lady died at Sand Point There were a dozen serious cases but they all pulled through.
 The cutter Algonquin was in port for two days. The ships doctor at tended Mrs. Pearson, but left before she recovered, and T. Horsman, the local druggist took charge and pulled her through. He has done good service in this vicinity, and for mostly char ity. He was on the go night and day and people here realize his good worx and believe if he had not have been there there would have been a number of deaths.
 It is planned to hold a basket sale here late in July, the proceeds to be presented to Horsman.
 The sickness attacked each person in a different way. Some had a high temperature while others were below normal, and as time passed the at tacks for those who caught the dis ease were more severe.
 The Union Fish Company closed It's station at Northwest harbor ten days ago.
 The coal situation here is uncertain many of the shipments being held up, Bradford has promised to get coal not to cost over $37.O0 per ton but it is uncertain. The Olga stopped off at Unga and loaded with Point Bluff coal on her way to Nome. She was load ed too much at the bow and discharg- ed part of her cargo at the ships side The Coal Harbor coal costs $17 per ton landed from launch, but it takes two tons of the best grade to equal one ton from the outside and then 1t is a nuisance on account of handling it and the ash.
 The mail boat arrived here today three days out from Unalaska.

A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U. s. Gov ernment and 35 leading universities and found to be superior to 10 Ordi- nary oil lamps. It burns without odOr, smoke or noise-no pumping up, is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94% and 6% common kerosene. (coal-oin |.
 The inventor, z. c. Johnson, 29 N.

MOTION PICTURE MEN GET WILD GAME LIFE
 IN INTERIOR ALASKA

Two motion picture men, C. 5. Horner, of Eaton Rapids. Mich., and II. N. Nelson of Detroit, passed through Juneau on the Alameda for the States. The two men have been in the Kantishna district, where they spent two months taking nov ing pictures of animal life in that region which they will later release in the form of series of educational pictures for use in the public schools.
 The two men left Whitehorse in June taking pictures of the White Pass railway, the Yukon, and differ ent towns along the way. Upon ar irving at Nenana they secured the services of Charles Ingersoll and Joe Clark, with Elam Harnish as guide, and journeyed into the hills for the purpose of securing sheep pictures. MT. Nelson states that it rained nearly every day they were out, and that the mosquitoes and flies were so numerous as to make the trip un- comfortable. The obtained some splendid pictures of game and birds, with close-ups of ptarmigan and grayling, which they caught by hand. The ptarmigan became so tame by frequent handling that they were a pest Many caribou and moose were seen. and the party had fresh meat in abundance. MT. Nel- son stated that the caribou came within fifty feet of his camera, and that he had no difficulty in killing meat needed with Lugar pistol, The party mad no exciting adven- lures, seeing no bears and b2rring the wet weather and insects, had very fine trip.
 MT. Horner is woolen manu- facturer of Eaton Rapids, while MT. Nelson is an experienced cameraman having started Henry Ford's Weekly and other film specials.

which lies about twenty miles to the southeast of Quigley Hill, makes an impressive showing of lead, zinc and occasionally copper sulphide ores The district was discovered so re- gently that there nas been no time for any extensive development, and practically all of the exposures are surface outcrOps The geological formation in which the ore occurs has been traced for about fifteen miles although the best outcrops at present are found near Copper Mountain itself. Judging from the lata at present available. there ap- pears to be an enormouss tonnage of lead and zinc sulphide ores. Un-
 il further development work> is lone, so that representative aver 1ge samples can be secured, 1t Will De impossible to determine wheth CT
 gold and silver are present in &p- )rcciable quantity or whether the
 lepost is merely low grade prop 3sition. Mr Davis brought back l number of specimens from tnls district which are on exhibition at he Mining Station, Fifth Avenue and Cushman Street.
 The most important and impera- tive need of these districts is bet ter transportation facilities. Under present conditions supplies must be transported up the kantishna River by boat during the summer season and remain at Roosevelt or some other convenient point until winter makes hauling by sled possible. The ether alternative is to haul by dog sled across country from the Gov ernment railroad during the winter months, distance Of about 80 miles which of course is unthinkable for anything, but very small quantities. The mining development which has thus far been carried on under this severe handicap fully warrants the construction of good wagon road from the district to some point on the Government Railroad and that as speedily as possible.

DAVIS REVIEWS
 CONDITIONS IN .
 INTERIOR CAMP
Bureau of Mines Representa- tive Visits Kantishna-
 Visits Several Mines.

One of the most compreh hensive re- district made recently comes from John A. Davis, Engineer in Charge of the Fairbanks station of the Blu reau of Mines, who returned to Fair banks the latter part of September after an extended trip through the kantishna section. MT. Davis tells of conditions in both the placer and hard rock games
 His review, as it appeared recent ly in the Fairbanks News-Miner fol- lows:
 Mr. Davis spent eleven days at the Kantishna district itself, exam ming the placer and quartz mines and prospects of the region. The two most important placer opera tions were those of the Kantishna Hydraulic Mining Co. on Moose Creek and the Mckinley Gold Placer Co.,, on Caribou Creek, both of which are engaged in hydraulic mining. The Kantishna Company has com pleted the construction of its ditch from Wonder Lake to the mouth of Eureka Creek and are ready to begin active hydraulicing immediately after the breakup next spring. The Mckinley Company is also ready to begin sluicing next season, the work this year having been confined to the building of a camp, dam and 1 Hume. In the narrow paystrcaks of the smaller creeks the usual method of shoveling in after ground sluicing with an automatic dam was em- ployed Work of this character was done on Friday, Eureka, Rainy, Glen Spruce and Glacier creeks.
 Until quite recently the bulk of i prospecting for quartz in the dis trict was confined to QuigIey Hin, and Eureka creeks, and therefore this area makes the most prom ising showing of the region. During the past two winters over 1500 tons of high grade silver ore, valued at approximately $200 per ton, were mined and shipped from two mines near the head of Friday Creek A third mine has been opened by Mr. 1 Quigley at the lower end of the hill near Moose Creek, and tun- nel has been driven for more than 200 feet in a quartz ledge carrying i high silver values. A number of other tunnels on promising lodges have been driven at various points on the hill, and their location was noted on detailed map made by MT. Davis which will be published at a later date.
 The mineralized zone observed at Quigley Hill has been traced for more than ten miles to the eastward and two promising silver bearing ga- lena prospects which were discovered on Glen Creek during the past year were examined. The mineralized zone has also been traced for at least five miles to the westward across Moose Creek.

PIONEER OF NORTH
 TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

According to advices received in Juneau on the Alameda, from Fair banks, John Petershcim, proprietor of tailoring and furrier establish ment on Fourth and Cushman, and a resident of the North since the Klondike days, was found dead in his bed in rear room of his estab- lishment, evidently a suicide. When the blanket was thrown back .3S calibre Colts revolver was found ly- ing by his left side, and bullet hole over the heart.
 No direct cause has so far been discovered that would explain Peter sheim's reason for committing sui eide, although 1t is said that he had intimated short time. ago that he would some day take his own life. He appeared of late to be breeding and had little to say when with friends.

Mike Barrett arrived in town this week from the Monte Carlo group on Mineral Creek. which he is oper- ating in connection with J. s. Fraser and Delate Cook, says the Valdez Miner. Hes reports the mill recently installed on the property in operation and the first cleanup was made re- gently.
 The mill was taken from the Rose Johnson claim earlier in the season. and installed at tremendous amount of toll on the part of the three men who used sleds for transportation.
 The vein is exceptionally rich ana now that the mine is in the proddc ing class, it is expected to be big asset to the Valdez district.
