HEALY MINE WILL RESUME OPERATIONS
 ABOUT JUNE FIRST

The Healy river coal mine, which has been closed down for the last few weeks on account of the spring breakup on the river, which annu- ally takes out the wooden bridge, will resume operations about the first of the month, according to in- formation received in Seward yester- day. With the installation and com pletion of the new steel bridge which will span the Healy river, it is stated the mine will operate stead fly hereafter.
 Seward arrivals from the district say that the Healy River Coal Cor poration is planning the construc- tion of new tipple and more new buildings. J.

The machinery for these is al ready in new cribbing along the riv- CT front The recent high waters worked havoc with some of the bulk heads.

With the com pletion of the new additions to the equipment at the mine, expert coal men who have visited the property, claim the mine is as modern, if not more so, than many of the coal mines operating in the state of Wash ingtOn.
 Prior to closing down temporarily a few weeks ago, the daily output of coal from this mine was estimat- ed roughly at about 135 tons a day. It is stated the company contem- plates shipping good sized cargoes of lump coal in the near future to Cordova, Kanatak and other Alaskan coast towns

MANY TO SEE THE VALLEY OF
 10000 SMOKES

That this summer will witness one of the greatest invasions known in history of tourists into Alaska is evi- denced by letters and folders con- taining itineraries received from the Criswell travel service, W. H. Ric- key, Peck-Judah and other travel parties. The Criswell service besides it's conducted parties, will bring an additional party of 50 to this section of Alaska, says the Stroller's Week ly of recent date.
 Besides advertising the Golden
 Belt and Grand Circle tours, over
 which routes they have booked all the tourists the steamship companies can handle, the Criswell service has also arranged two tours to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, the route from Seattle being via the inside pas sage to Juneau, thence to Cordova, mai Bay.
 The first party to leave Los An geles for the Valley of Ten Thou sand Smokes will start June F, and the second party will leave there July 15. Both of the parties will be personally conducted by L. c. Fol som, who, with Dr. Griggs, was one of the original discoverers of the val ley, accompanied three subsequent expeditions of the National Geogra- phic Society, and is probably more familiar with this territory than any other living person.
 1 The latest circular published by 1 the Criswell party regarding this
 tour says the trip into the valley ne cessitates hike" of 30 miles from the coast, and we'll repays the tourist for his exertion. There being no in habitants at Katmai bay or beyond, camps must, of necessity, be used af- ter leaving the steamer. These will be made as comfortable as possible, and no effort spared to insure most enjoyable vacation, but persons join ing these parties should bear in mind that they are indeed pioneers, visit ing one of the most spectacular and remote portions of the earth, and be prepared to forego luxury during this portion of their trip.
 In land of marvellous and majes- tic scenery, Katmai National Monu-- ment and the Valley of Ten Thou sand Smokes are most impressive of all tours. Here in 1912, occurred the most gigantic eruption in the history of the world, when Mount Katmai ex- ploded, throwing millions of tons of ash and pomice many miles into the air, disturbing atmospheric conditions of the whole northern hemisphere for months, creating the largest active crater in the world and also that most unique and spectacular region, the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes is unlike anything else on earth, five miles wide and seventeen miles long, the floor of the valley is pitted with millions of fumeroles, with jets of steam and smoke vary. ing in size and color, these surround ed by gaudily hued deposits and en- crustations; the valley itself is in the midst of the Aleutians, a range of snowy mountains with their gla. ciers and ice caves.
 The frst0t tour will leave Los An. geles June IT.

OSLO, May P (P)-The Shipping Gazette said that the expedition ship Hobby, was ordered to proceed north immediately after the Amundsen flight started.

 RESPONDS CALL
 FOR VOLUNTEERS
s1 OVER HUNDRED CITIZENS SPEND DAY HELPING CLEAR SITE
 FOR JESSE LEE HOME

Under ideal weather conditions citizens of Seward, armed with axes, grubbing hoes and saws, were seen at o'clock yesterday vending their Home, on the hillside north of town. While many walked out, transporta- tion was cheerfully donated by all who had cars, and the big fire truck made many trips to the site carrying implements and passengers. The day proved ideal for working, and upon arriving at the grounds many excla- nations were heard on all sides as to the exceptionally ideal location for the Home, the whole bay in pano- rama lying before the eyes of the assemblage. Men from all vacations, trades and professions were there, and where a man failed to appear, he sent paid worker in his place. The workers were formed in squads of four, six and eight, and tackled their task willingly and cheerfully, the shirker being conspicuous by his ab- sence. The powder men went in advance, preparing the charges and placing as many as 25 shots at one time, the crowd scattering to places of safety when the alarm was given. Following the powder men came the "mopping up" troops and the "cats," piling up the debris and pulling the huge stumps loosened by the powder.
 At noon Chef Mel Holben told the big crowd to Come and get it or he would throw it out" and there was a grand rush for the portable kitchen presided over by the ladies, who pass ed out sandwiches, beans, hot dogs, and liver sausages, followed with steaming hot coffee All were served cafeteria style and the shock troops quickly absorbed all provisions in sight, returning to work heartened by a good feed and an hours rest.
 The big Holt caterpillar trucks were invaluable, never tiring, and pulling out stumps two to three feet in diam- eter, with many shorts and puffs. The teams furnished by Cal Brosius and the Alaska Transfer were also of great help in piling up the debris.
 Dxr Gxyn 0t1 applied to many of the large piles of stumps and brush, and the field showed much work done. Every citi- zen returned home tired but happy in the accomplishment of good deed. The remainder of the work to be done will be performed by laborers under the direction of the street committee.
 The response to requests for food contributions were generously met by local merchants, who told MT. Hinde. official purveyor, to take what he needed from their stocks. The Seward Bakery furnished the buns and dough nuts; Frye-Bruhn the weiners and liverwurst; Carstens' Company fine boiled ham; The Seward Trading Co. sugar, tea, coffee and milk; Brown & Hawkins donated the stumping pow der; and the bureau of public roads the use of tools and tractors.
 Mel Holben made the coffee and prepared the lunch.
