ALASKA JUNEAU TRYING FOR PROFIT OF A5 CTS. TON

The Alaska Juneau mine has boosted its average daily pro- duction from 233O tons in 1917 to 8250 tons so far in 1924 and has also reduced it's milling cost from Fl cents in 1917- to 25 cents this year, according to a statement made before the Juneau chamber of com merce by P. R. Bradley, gen eral manager and consulting engineer. MT. Bradley said that in September this year an average of 9,456 tons of ore had been milled daily at a cost of 20 cents per ton. The company operated at a deficit until 1920, paying not only it's operating and development ex- penses but also it's interest charges with borrowed money. So far this year the operating profits have been $311,918. Briefly outlining the plans of the company for the future MT. Bradley said it's ultimate goal was 100000 tons to be handled monthly at cost of 20 cents a ton, having an aver age value of 65 cents a ton, leaving a profit of 45 cents per ton.

GROUND OVER ON
 PROHIBITION CHARGE

Following preliminary exam ination on charge of possess ion of intoxicating liquors, Mrs. Helen Bell, operator of the 13 Mile roadhouse, was held to answer to the grand jury in the U. s. Commission CTS Court Saturday. The hear ing was the outgrowth of a search of the roadhouse prem ises made last week by U. S. Deputy Marshal T. W. McDon- ald under a search warrant, which resulted in the discov- cry of a half dozen bottles of Scotland's best fire-water con- cealed under a pile of hay in the roadhouso stable.
 Mrs. Bell was represented by Attorney Ernest Blue, who in- troduced testimony tending to show that the search of the stable was illegal, in the de- gree that it was not described in the search warrant and aI- so that the stable was not part of the roadhouse premises nor under the control of Mrs. Bell, and that the liquor did not belong to her.

Early Tomatoes Bring Good Prices
With Prospects of Good Crop

Early Tomatoes Bring Good Prices
With Prospects of Good Crop
Townsend, Aug. 5.-The early to-
matoes are bringing a fancy price as
usual and the few local growers who
are fortunate enough to have ripe to-
matoes at this time are kept busy in
trying to supply the demand for this
vegetable. The early product is read
lily bringing 20 cents per quart in the
local market. The farmers report
discouraging outlook for the later
crop however, owing to the excessive
rains and when there was chance to
cultivate the patches, the tillers of
the soil had to give their undivided
attention to harvesting their wheat
crops, causing a further neglect to
tomato growing, and as a consequence
the growers are unanimously of the
opinion that so far the vines are
healthy in appearance but contain a
surprisingly small number of toma-
toes, while some of them show no
sign Of bearing at all. From the
present outlook the growers in gener-
al predict that owing to the scarcity
the market price will not go under
S1.00 per basket but may reach $3.50
as a standard price during the season.

Who asked him to do it? Did Jesus
ask anyone to do anything before he
worked the miracle? Does our will
ingness to obey Gods requests today
have anything to do with his working
wonders in our lives? What was
Jesus attitude at this time toward
social affairs? Were the people al

ing Jesus to their festivities? p? Witt
