DRAG-LINE DREDGE

Professor Herschel Parker left the westward for Portland. Ore, and will lay before his associates the result of the examinations of the Gold Creek placers. Speaking of his work at Gold Creek, Professor Parker said that he had sampled an area ap- proximately 10000 yards in extent, the ground running an average of S1 per yard. Higher samplings were obtained in the pay streak revealed, some running as high $3 per yard. It is Professor Parker's belief that there are deeper stratas of pay.
 Among the future developments ot the property planned is the establish nient of a Pucyrus drag-line dredge, by which method Professor Parker hopes to work the ground at cost not to exceed 10 cents per yard. It is estimated that there are approxi- mately ten million yards of gravel in the holdings, there being neith- er boulders nor frost to contend with.

ARCTIC TO PRODUCE COAL

That the Lisburne coal fields, near Cape Lisburne, north of Seward Pen insu.a in the Arctic Ocean, will soon he producing coal for use in North western Alaska and Eastern Siberia, is the opinion of l.. c. Stringer, of the gasboat Teddy Bear that was at Nome recently after visit to the fields. He had with him full data and numerous photographs of the massv coal veins scattered through the Lisburne area and these he took with him to the outside.
 The story as told by MT. Stringer to the Nome Nugget was as follows:
 "The coal he said, lis located in thick veins close to tide water and can be easily mined and shipped. The coal itself is high grade semi anthracite and gives a very intense heat, with only about 3 per cent ash. Surface samples of the fuel have stood the most severe govern- ment tests with excellent results and it's quality will undoubtedly improve greatly with continued operation and greater depth of mining. The pres- ence of the coal veins has been known for years and the whalers and traders have been taking it for the past 50 years. There are several mill lion tons of the fuel in sight along the coast The veins are all very regular and easy to mine and. can be readily discerned along the cliffs from a considerable distance. It is the intention to open the fields on a scale sufficient to meet the fuel de- mands of Northwestern Alaska and Eastern Siberia. There is imperative

 Although officials of the company are extremely conservative and do not give out information, from en- ployes it is learned that soon the stamps will be dropping on the ore and production will have actually started, Men from the mine have stated that the stamps mill have been completed with all the stamps in place; the compressors and ma chine schops have been installed in their buildings and are practically ready for business.
 For the past several weeks the mine tender Isis has been slipping in and out of Juneau without any pub licity and carrying out each trip machinery that has now been put in place.

JUALIN MAY START WORK

JUAIIk MAY START WORK
 H. l.. Faulkner, of Juneau, left for New York for a conference with the officials of the Algonican Mining Company.
 Jean Vanophem, president of the company, has been in Brussels for some time and is expected to arrive in New York early next month. MT. Faulkner will meet him and other officials there. MT. Faulkner said he was hopeful that development work will be resumed at Jualin without great delay.
 Much work has been done by the mining company at the Jualin mine in Berners Bay, but was stopped shortly after the close of the war on account of the decline in the value of Belgian money, the financing of the work having mostly come from Belgium and the company being a Belgian one.
 A long drainage and tramming tun- nel with which it was planned to tap the ledge at low level is more than half completed. There was a small mill on the property that burned down about two years ago. The new pans call for the erection of new stamp mill near the mouth of the new tunnel several miles near or the beach than the old one.
 The Jualin was for several years Q steady producer and contains much rich ore. The one drawback to it's working was the excessive amount of water encountered. At times this water drove the men from the mines and the most powerful pumps had difficulty in taking care of it. The new drainage tunnel. it is claimed, will eliminate this trouble and should make the property profitable one.
 At the present time watchmen rlaced by the courts on account of rersonal leips against the property are in charge.

 It is the intention to bring in next spring a fifteen hundred ton freight vessel to transport the coal to Nome and other points.

TROOPS CALLED OUT
 AGAINST MINE MEN
Drastic Action Is Taken in West
 Virginia

ChArlestown, W. Va. June 30.--Two companies of the National Guard were sent into the Cabin Creak and Paint Creek districts early today to break up an incipient march against mines on Cabin Creek which had been oper- atihg on an open shop basis. The troops were mobilized and dispatched on order of Governor Morgan after he received reports that bodies of men were gathering on Paint Creek and marching toward Dry Branch, Cabin Creek ~
 Late yesterday about 75 men gathered on Paint Creek and marched d toward Dry Branch They were re- ported to be on the property of the Dry Branch Coal Co.,, two miles from the mining camp. Lieut. Mac B. Lilley of the state police, with about to men, including the state police in that section under his command and number of volunteers from the Dry Branch camps, went into the hills to meet them. No firing or other indi- cations of fighting had been heard from that direction.
 Decision to dispatch the guardsmen was reached at a conference about midnight at Governor Morgan's office at which Adjutant Gen. J. H. Char mock and Col. Jackson Arnold, head of the state police. were present.
 It was said the troops had gone into the hills with the intention of coming up behind the marchers in the rough country, between Paint and Cabin creeks.
 Dry Branch residents believe the march was directed against the mines of the Dry Branch Coal Co.,, the Wet Branch Mining Co.,, and the Coalburg Colliery Co. at Ronda, nearby. All have been conducted on an open shop basis since January 1.

Irish Rebel Leader Believed to
 Mean What He Says

London, June 30 (By Associated Press s)-Dispatehes from Dublin re- port Rory oconnor. the insurgent leader, as having declared he will nsht until he Is either victorious or killed and his record suggests the probability that he means what he says If he goes down fighting it is impossible to predict the effect his disappearance will have on the situa- tion. es5
 Some dispatches from Dublin em- phasize that if the government troops had been able to capture the Four Courts a couple of hours after the siege began the comparatively blood less rebellion probably would have flickered out but the prolonged re- sistance of O'connor's forces and the growing operations of their sympa- thizers in other parts of the city are reported to have an important in fuence in favor of the republicans.
 Another point much stressed Is the increasing activity of the communists in support of the republicans. These, according to some reports, are acting under the instigation and guidance of member of the l. W. w. from America, who Is rumored to be re- ceiving financial help from Moscow
 Whatever, may be the truth of these later reports, some observers in Dub lin notice growing tendency of cer- tain classes to transfer their sympa- thies from the free state government to the republicans.
 The dangers threatening Michael Collins and the treaty party are grave ly remarked in quarters altogether friendly to them and the possibility of an attempt to bring about republi can revolution with the help of the lowest section of the populace is seri- ously discussed.
