That the Indian Mining Com pany will, during the early spring, commence the installat- ion of a mill on the company's property a short distance be- yond the international beun- ,dary line, is the definite state ment of MT.

Three large tourist parties from the east are already booked for Alaska trips on July first, each of which include 180 or more per sons, and several others which number more than 100. persons.

SEWARD VOTES
 FUNDS TO ADVERTISE TOWN

At a recent meeting of the city council of Seward, it was voted to contribute the sum ot
 $75 per month for a period of four months toward an adver- Using campaign to be con- ducted by the Seward Cham Der of Commerce, the object of which is to place Seward be- fore the outside world in a favorable light, according to the Seward Gateway, which says:
 ''The council, after reading a petition from citizens request ing $75 per month be appro- priated from city funds for the purpose of carrying out the proposed program of the Chamber of Commerce in a publicity campaign, granted the request, and ordered $75 per month paid to the treasurer Of the Seward Chamber of Commerce for December, Jan uary, February and March.
 This money added to $75 con- tl-ibuted by the chamber will place Seward before the out side world in a favorable light, and will doubtless attract many tourists to this section.

BOUNTY PAID ON
 4,5OO EAGLES
 BY TERRITORY

An announcement by the Ter ritorial Treasurer says that the Territory during the past year has paid bounty on 4,500 eag- les killed within it's confines.
 Since the last legislature in-- creased the eagle ounty to $1, there has been a notable in- crease in the number of eagle claws received, on which the bounty is paid. A resident or the Rocky Pass section, about 100 miles south of Juneau, holds the record for number of eagles slain for the bounty, he having collected bounty on 4OU pairs of claws during the year.

two per cent of the assessed valuation of the mun;clpal property was brought into (. leation in connection with q L;ond issue authorized by Con- Gress to raise funds for a mui.- i2ipal electric light plant.
 The court holds that the spec ial act of Congress gave to the town the authority to incur the expense indicated and to is,ue Londs, redeemable in 20 years, la payment thereof, hence, a. there is no constitutional limit ation on the taxing power of a Municipality in Alaska and Congress, having authorized the town council to hold an el- ection and issue bonds for the purposes expressed, the au- thority to levy tax to meet the authorized obligation is inn piled.

GYPSUM MINING COMPANY
 QUITS OPERATIONS

The Weekly says that in the same locality as Gypsum there are said to be vast gypsum de- posits but that the claims are owned by individuals who are not willing to dispose of them to the Gypsum company and the result is that, until a new company secures the claims from the owners, or capital is enlisted by them with which to operate them, there will be no more gypsum exported from the Territory. The Gypsum Company never had any diff ficulty in marketing it's pro- duct, for which there was a great demand, both in the Un- ited States and in foreign coun- tries, especially in Japan.

A concern that has operated steadily on Chichagof Island and about 65 miles southwest of Juneau for the past several years, the Gypsum Mining Co.,, the headquarters of which are in Tacoma, has suspended op- erations in Alaska, according to Stroller's Weekly, which states that the reason for the suspension of operations is due to the deposit of Gypsum being entirely worked out. The last few months that the company operated the output was der ived entirely from the pillars that had been left as mine sup ports during earlier periods of operation. The mine is now abandoned.

KANATAK SCENE
 OF NOVEL WEDDING

Mrs. Cora D. Meyer, known throughout Alaska as Madame Renio, was recently united in marriage at Kanatak5 to Hel- bert Anderson, a former Cache Creek miner. As there was no minister or other official in the new oil camp to perform the ceremony, Derrick Lane, at one time manager of the Alaska Central Railroad at Seward, and now a resident of Kanatak, was called upon to officiate, he being a notary public. The couple then signed a marriage contract before a large number of witnesses and Derrick pro- claimed them man and wife. Following the ceremony the wedding party repaired to Kanatak's leading restaurant, where an elaborate wedding breakfast was served.
 So far as recorded, this is the first common law marriage to be performed in the Terr- itory since the old boom days, when officials endowed with authority to perform marriages were few and far between.

no such statement emenated from his office and he added that, while he believes in boost ing, he does not believe in it to the exclusion of truth.
 Just how such misleading re- ports started is not known but this paper takes pleasure in setting MT. Wagner right in the matter as, while such ridicu- lous statements might be be- lieved in the east, to tell Alas kans that 58 per cent of the adult Indians in this Territory can read and write or that two thirds of 11,158 Indian chll- dren attend school in Alaska every day in the year is making it too strong. -Stroller's Week. ly.

 MT. Turner's announcement preages a development of the greatest importance to the dis trict, as it means that another producing mine is to add it's quota of prosperity to the
 district. But little can be learn ed regarding the results of the development work of the past aeason but it is reliably stated that the ore reserves on the property are of sufficient size to insure a long period of oper- ction and the employment of a crew of considerable size.

 Reports from Stewart are to the effect that the prospects for the Duwell being placed On the list of the districts produc- ing mines are growing brighter with practically every foot or the development work now in progress.
