DAWSON, Sept. 20.-The Daw-

put in a very strenuous week of
practice, and the boys are fast
rounding into shane for their mi

1t has been much too hot for

to keep the boys at the fast pace
that is usual at this time of the

the men of the Americas High
school. Saunders, who came in
from Atlanta Monday, after exam

1lth the material PROV ded, he feels
sure Americas h:-h VIII turn out
a strong team and after the men
are given some preliminary in
struction in the rudiments of the
game this strength will begin to
manifest itself.
Immediately on taking charge of
the team, Coach Saunders placed
all candidates under stringent
training rules, something new to
several of those who hope to make
places in the varsity" lineup
Saunders is already busy, he said
today, instructing the men in sig
nails, and within a few days, prob

such as passing the ball, running
around the track and exercises to

been the schedule so far, but in

The Riverside Mining Company's property is located at 7-Mile. This gold and silver mining property IS bonded to J. C. Barber and H. c. Strong of Ketchikan, and the Black Bros, of Seattle. It is under the supervision of Superintendent Jack Littlepage. He has a force of 15 men doing development work with compressor. They are operating three shifts a day.
 The Titan group, owned by the Fitzgerald Bros, of Hyder are em- ploying Is men this winter. These men are all old time miners and know the mining game well enough to have confidence in this property to the extent that they are taking one-half of their salaries out in units on this property, They are also bringing in a compressor early this spring.
 The Fish Greek Mining Company operated by the Manhood & Tonkin company has a force of forty men at work this winter and on the last Jefferson received one of the latest model eompressors mounted on wheels. The compressor has already gone up on snow and the company is now shipping ore on each trip of the Jefferson southbound to the shelter at Tacoma Just at present their method of getting ore is by the rawhiding method. However, the machinery is already arriving for the construction of a four-mile aerial tramway for bringing out the UTE III C4lS AuluIC
 There are also four properties being worked up the Bear River out of Stewart. B. C., this winter.

There Is always a boat at the dock loading ore.

 The obvious conclusion is that those who know believe President Bunnell is making good as the head of the only school of higher edu- cation in Alaska just as he made good on the Federal bench.
 The Territory was very fortunate in securing this eminent Alaskan to direct the laying of the founda- ton of its first college.
