Big Gold Mine Seen at Juneau.
(staff Correspondence Tn seattle Times.


 In Juneau, Alaskas Capital City, President Hard ing the Territory's greatest gold mine, that of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, within the city limits and which in 1922 produced approx- matey one-sixth of all the gold exported from the Territory.
 The Alaska Juneau mine penetrates than miles into the mountain which looms Ju- neau. Members of the Presidents party rode up an incline railway with maximum grade of 97 degrees and then electric train far into rock hewn tunnel.
 Smith Building in Seattle. The is brought the mill through the tunnels in and dumped in four-car lots into giant tipples
 Under the gravity system the then passes through crushers and other apparatus successive levels down story by story until it is formed into giant gold bars.
 Officials of the mine said the last bar turned out weighed 16O pounds and was worth approximately $35, 000
 Lead and silver also produced in the mine After the refining processes are carried as far as the, equipment of the mill will permit the precious metal is shipped to Tacoma and Wallace Idaho, where the operation is completed in the smelers
 The mine company is handling 5000 tons Of rock day at an approximate of AS cents "a ton Engineers estmte that there 100, 900 900 tons of ore in the mountain sufficient to keep the mill operating at its present capacity for fifty years Three shifts of employed in the mining operations and two in the mill
 The Alaska Juneau Mining Company is famed the world over in mining circles for the small ex- pense With which it can handle it's ore. Despite the fact that gold in the rock does not run more than S5 cents to one dollar ton the mine yileds large returns.
 F. W. Bradley of San Francisco is president of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company He is also president of the Bunker-Hill X Sullivan mine at Wallace. Idaho, said to be the largest lead and silver mine in the world.
 Eastern members of the chief executives panty have been surprised to learn that gold was exten- siVey mined in the Juneau district long before the tide of fortune seekers rushed into the Klondke
 Juneau pioneers told their distinguished guests that Joe Juneau discovered gold in the town in 1881 Ills partner was man named Harris and for a time the town was called Harrisburg after him It was not long, however, until the name changed to the one that Capital City bears
 Gastineau Channel which Juneau is situated was named after Frenchman by that name who visited these waters many years ago

IF DIVISION IS COMING TT SHOULD
 BE NOW.

Secretary Hoover, speaking at Anchorage, said that AlaEka some day would develop four or hYe great States" He continued:
 This must come by steady aceretion of
 people step by step, that come here to ob-
 tain a better livelihood and better standard
 Of living. We must remember 1t is place
 Of greater possibility and of tremendous
 and there can be no full self gov
 e1nment until you able to carry that
 burden.
 If Alaska is to be developed into four O. five great States-if she is eventually to become two three States-there should be division now. It is net fair those portions of Alaska that are panty developed and struggling with their prob lems to load upon them several hundred thousand square miles of Territory which draw from their taxpaying capabilities thousands of dol lars annually only to nave those parts sever the connection when they able to walk alone The people of the Alafka coast have new eountry-one develop which it should be developed will burden their earning powers and ability pay deal would euggest a division if there is to be division all. If the of Alaska needs help other if there is 10 be reciprocity, the charge should fall upon the country generally and not upon the scattered population and small invest ments along the Alaska coast.
 That part of Alaska lying of the divide be- tween the Alaska Railroad and the Copper River and south of the divide between the Tanana River and the Pacific, including Southeastern Alaska is able to maintain full Territorial form Of government which is sef-goyernment may before State hood It is able, however itself for the support of Of the Territory that will be affiliated with when Statehood all Alaska is given full Territorial form of government with County organizations to collect and expend taxes collected within their boundaries then, in con- men fairness, there should be immediate division.

ALASKA GAME A MATERIAL ASSET.

The statement made by MT. Walker of the Bio logical Survey that A big game hunters in Alaska separate expeditions had expended Terri tory Sl07,5S6, and that seven of them had become financially interested in it result of their hunt ing trips, proves that the game animals of the North constitute asset that should be lightly treated With proper advertising and exploitation the wild life of the North will become of constantly increasing value 10 this country. No people in the world make better tourists than big game hunters They spend their money freely, if they can get what they want and they natural born adyentrrers. They are willing to take chance, and thereby become back of prospectors and others whose work leads to permanent development.
 Alaska should in every possible way encourage those who are trying 10 direct the attention of the big game hunters and sportsmen of field and stream to this country. The of them who come the better il will be fer all of us

 The value of gold is not only in the profit to the producer. Gold is perishable It is not of tran sient value IL lasts forever if not lost and works and works all the time except when hoarded.

 A woman doesn't want to know how to grow old gracefully; all she wants to know is, how not to grow old.
 One reason why we are glad We were born a man is because we have never felt we could learn to sleep comfortably with our hair done up in curl papers.
 We often have wondered which causes a wife the most anguish; the cook who is always breaking the dishes or the husband who always is breaking his word. A woman may refuse to hang the clothes on the llne, but gosh. how she does love to talk for hours about clothes over the line.
 It has been our observation that when the average careful housewife says she doesn't care how the house looks, she means just so it is in applepie order. It is just barely possible that the reason the girls who marry men to reform them throw up the job be. cause there isn't as much money in it as there is in the regular re- form game.

 There is doubt that far too many people par ticpated in the stampede that followed the Klon- Gike strike There were too many people in all the Northern stampedes, just too many people rushed to California in 1849 Too many people always pursuing where someone else has led the way to profit.
