PRICE COMING NORTH
TO TAKE CHARGE OF
KANTISHNA PROPERTY

Reports that Tom Aiken, one of
the most prominent mining operators
in the Interior, had purchased the
Copper Mountain mining property
opened up last summer by Giles &
Grant, were partially confirmed to-
day when word was received by Ter
ritorial Secretary Karl Theile that
Jack Price is en- route from Seattle
to the Interior to take charge of de-
velopment work. Mr.. Price is well
known in Alaska mining circles and
Is associated with Mr. Aiken in other
mining properties.
1t was reported here recently that
Mr.. Aiken had put through a deal
for the Giles & Grant claims, paying
$4,000 down. The purchase price,
however, was not mentioned in the
reports. The property is located in
Mt. Mckinley National Park and is
tributary to what is known as the
Kantishna district proper. Galena
discoveries of some value were re-
portel from there last summer by
Giles & Grant showing surface indi-
cations of a big body of ore. Min
ing men visiting the property were
impressed with the surface showings
and 1t is believed that development
work will reveal mineral deposits OF
considerable value.

JUNEAU WOMEN'S
CLUB PREPARES
TO RE-ORCAN|zE
Meeting for This Purpose Is
Announced at City Hall
for Next Week.

The Juneau Women's Club is tax
ing preparatory steps toward reor-
ganizing for active work, and toward
that end there will be a meeting OF
the members and those whom the
club hopes to get interested in its
work next Wednesday afternoon at
the City Hall
The juneau Women's Club has
done no active work since the war,
and during the war 1t devoted itself
wholly to war work. In the begin
ming 1t gave attention to study and
civic matters. 1t never took any part
in politics, and one of the influential
members said in discussing its re-
organization, sit never will take any
part in politics or political contro-
versies."
During the war the club maintained
a second hand store on Seward
Street, and from 1t raised several
thousand dollars for the Red Cross
and other war activities. The club
pow has in it's treasury several hun
dred dollars Of Liberty and Victory
Bonds. 1t has one or more bonds of
each issue.
Among the plans OF the club for
the near future is a membership
drive. This is something that it
has never had before, but, said one
who is interested in the reorganiza-
ton, there are now so many women
In town who are not known to the
club membership, whom it is believed
would enjoy the opportunities for
study and service that are afforded
in such an organization, it is believed
desirable that there should be a
drive for new members.
Among the former activities of the
Juneau Womens Club was the estab-
llshment and equipment of play
grounds at Sixth and Gold Streets
ard In the Casey-Shattuck addition.
II is believed by the members that
these Fairgrounds should be he
bzbIi,ated. and that at least three
more should be established. The
fairgrounds were not equipped as the
club would like to have them-in
fact they are smaller than they
Eo1ld Ike However. they serve to
keep the tiny tots off the street.
They have swings, teeter-tottef
boards and other interesting oppor-
tuntties for the children who are too
small TO be interested in baseball.
The Juneau Women's Club belongs
to the National Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs, and to the Alaska Fed
GRAFTON. It's studies include all sorts
of subjects. including literature, ira.
vel and conditions in foreign lands,
current and historical topics, etc. 1t
"a also Interested in legislative mat
tiers. and makes a study OF civic
matters that are being considered by
the people generally. Mrs f. H.
Kaser Is chairman OF the Legislative
Committee OF the National Federation
for Alaska.

Arson batted over 800, his high
est average being in 1887, when he
registered .421. During this period
of % years his grand batting ave
rage was .34S and he led the National
League six years and was secand or
third many other seasons. In the
field his record was equally bril-
liant. For six years he was accorded
first place among the first basemen,
his fielding average ranging from
1888 to .974
Perfect Player of Age
Arson was described during the
heyday of his baseball career as
the most perfect player of the age.
Over six feet in height, and weigh
ing 1876 pounds in condition, he was
a lightning fast fielder and base run
ner, and batted with tremendous
power. AS a manager he was a
strict disciplinGrian, demanding alb
solute obedience and temperate hab-
its in his players.
Arson made two trips abroad as
an American baseball player. In
1874 he was a member of the Amer
lean team which toured England,
playing both baseball and cricket
The team knew little or nothing of
cricket but their terrific batting off
set their other playing defects and
they won every cricket game played,
including victory over the famous
Marlebone All-English eleven by the
score of 107 to 105 runs. In 1888
he toured the world with the National
League players party, which included
John X. Tencr. former Governor of
Pennsylvania, and baseball player,
now president of the National
League; A. G. Spalding, John M.
Ward. Ed. Hanlon and many other
noted players of the day.

REMARKABLE BASEBALL
CAREER

Adrian Constantine Arson occupied
4 unique position in the history OF
American baseball His diamond ca
reer began with the period which
marked the birth of the professional
player and closed long after the pro
fessional league and game was firmly
established as an American institu-
ton. To the present day fan he
was Pop Arson, a player of the
past, surrounded with a maze of leg
endary baseball deeds and records.
To those of his generation he was
Captain Arson, the greatest player
of them all; the fOrerunner and peer
of Dan Brouthers, Roger Conner, Pat
Tebeau. Jiggs Donahue, Dan McGann,
Frank Chance, Hal Chase, Jack Dau-
bert and others who have made base
ball history at first base.
In the embryonic days of the game,
during the late SOS, when baseball
was emerging from the stage of
FOUNDERS" to the fuller development
of scientific contest, Arson made
his appearance as player while still
in his teens at Marshalltown, Ia.
Tall, lanky and lacking the powerful
physical development Of later years,
he stood out as a player of unusual
calibre in the town teams of that
period, being known as the MAR
shalltown Infant"
Fame Spread Rapidly
His fame as batter and fielder
spread rapidly. In 1871 Arson was
playing third base for the Forest
Citys of Rockford, H., the team made
famous by the pitching Of A. G.
Spalding a few years previous. The
leading clubs of those days occupied
the same position of the higher class
emi-professional teams of the pres
ent. Expenses, lucrative positions
and portions of the gate receipts
found their way to the players. 1t
was therefore but step to profes-
sional ball which Arson took with
his teammates late in 1871, when the
National Association of Professional
Baseball Players was founded. Two
years later he joined the Athletics
of Philadelphia and in 1875 Arson
signed with the Chicago Club of the
newly formed National League OF
Professional Baseball Clubs. With
the birth of the National League An
son rose to baseball playing heights
seldom reached by players of the
past or present.
Under his managerial guidance the
Chicago club won pennants in 1892
and again in 1856 From 1876 to
1897. with the exception of two years

PHENOMENON IN
WEATHER TODAY
Relative Humidity Exception
ally Low-Air in Juneau
Same as on Desert.

All records for low relative hui
Nudity were broken today, according
to Meteorological NJ. p. Summers, of
the local office of the Weather Blu
reau At l is p. m, with a tempera-
ture of All degrees, the wet bulb
reading was 29.6 degrees, or "a de-
grees below freezing This condi-
ton indicates a relative humidity of
II per cent, which phrased in plain
language, means that the air at that
hour contained only II per cent of
the amount of water vapOr it could
hold at the existing temperature of
All degrees In the five years of
records maintained by the Weather
Bureau in Juneau, the lowest previ-
Gus humidity reading was II per cent
In explanation of the phenomenon.
Mr.. Summers said it is due to the
extreme dryness of the air over Yu-
kon Territory and Northern British
Columbia, the winds blowing from
those regions today. No precipita-
ton has occurred in that part of
North America for a considerable pc
Rod The air over desert regions,
Mr.. Summers says. is ordinarily not
any drer than it is in Juneau today.
In fact, he says, the air is so dry
that if wet clothing be hung outside
in the open air, but in the shade, the
evaporation of the water from the
fabric will lower its temperature be,
low the freezing point, in spite of
the air temperature of nearly AZ de-
grees.
