THANE PAPER MILL
 Is NOW ASSURED

That the year 1923 will be the year 1 for this portion of Alaska is the glad news brought by ". T. Tolch. local manager of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company. who re- turned Wednesday of this week from a business trip to San Francisco, where he conferred with the officials of the company.
 According to Mir. Tolch an option has been given by the Alaska Gasti- neau Company to a pulp and paper corporation on all the surface in- proyements of the former concern which embrace pracucaIIy everything owned by it in Alaska with the eN- Cepuon of its ore deposits and min ing machinery. The latter is now being purchased by a different con cerR and as soon as it is removed from the buildings they will be dis mautIed and converted into suitable structures for the manufacture of pulp and paper.
 It is said that the new company will rebuild the Salmon Creek power house that was recently practically destroyed by fire, and that other i'm prOvements will be under way by early spring. Mir. Tolch will not be connected with the new company bu will resign his connection with the Gastineau people to accept a more lucrative position offered him in sIe city engineering department Of Seattle. Emil Gastouguay, chief electrician for the company, will sue ceed MT. Tolch with the Gastineau Mining Company.
 All the buildings owned by the mining company at Thane are en- braced in the proposed transfer, as well as those located by the various power plants of the concern.
 While the identity of the new com pany is not definitely stated, it is known that it is prominent in the financial and industrial world Weekly.

 Many of the leading backs played on minor teams and hence never came into the prominence their work deserved. There were, for example, Beck, of Vermont; semendinger, of Holy Cross, and Koppisch, of Col umbia. They would have been head line fodder had they elected to at tend one of the colleges in the Big Three.
 Other backs of more or less prom thence were Covington and Roberts, of Centre College; Cleaves and Cor man, of Princeton; Cullen and Bar chet, of the Navy; Pfann, of Cornell; Brunner, of La Fayette; Wilson, of Penn. State; Lee Parkin, of Iowa; Williams, of Wisconsin; John Thom- as. the Chicago line cracker; Brick son, of W. and J.; Smyth and Wood, of the Army; Miller, of Pennsylvania and Hewitt, of Pitt.
 On past performances, Owen and Buell., of Harvard, might have quail fled for the elect, but they staked themselves to an indifferent season and were seldom consistent.

CLOSE DEAL ON THANE
 MILL EQUIPMENT IN
 SHORT TIME SAYS 'TOLCH

The disposition of the entire mill equipment at Thane within the near future is most favorable according to d statement made today by W. T. Tolch, business manager of the AL aska Gastineau Mining Company. It is expected that a deal will be made and closed within a short time.
 Louis Dulien for several years manager of the Alaska Junk Com pauy of Seattle, and now in busi- ness for himself, and B. Levine, managing buyer for the Northwest Steel & Metal Products Company, of Seattle, who have been in Juneau several days, in the interest of pur- chasing the mill equipment, will leave Juneau on the eamer Alame- du for Seattle. Both men are opti- misttc for obtaining she equipment nd said today that which ever firm makes the deal, the purchasing agent will return to supervise the disman- uing of the mill
 They are both delighted with this part of the country, each making his first trip here.-Empire.
