SHORTER SKIRTS, LONGER SLEEVES
This Is the Latest Style Over
 in Paris

Paris. April CD - Shortened skirts and heightened sleeves mark od the new fashions in womens $ dresses displayed today at the grand opening of the Longchamp race track for the flat racing season, one of Paris great annual occasions for display of new modes.
 Dressmakers evidently have made up their minds that whatever cloth is saved In the skirts must be used in the rest of the frocks, and the arms of the modishly gowned wo- men were completely hidden under elaborate sleeves. Legs were as vis- ible s arms were hidden.
 Smart smoking jackets for women vas another feature of the Long, champ fashion show. Some dress makers used lace, kasha and crepe de chine in jackets modelled along real masculine lines.
 | There was only moderate interest in the racing,
 The stable of A. K. Macomber which has succeeded that of the late ". K. Vanderbilt SIS leader of the American representation, won two races, while Ralph R. Strasburger of NorriStown, Pa, finished third with Asteroide in the feature race of the day,

DRILLS ACTIVE ON
 BIG MISSOURI

Development work is pro- ceeding on the Big Missouri with unabated vigor, according to reports from the property during the past week. Dia- mond drilling operations now constitute a large part of the development program. One drill has been in operation for some time and a second rig has been installed by the Lynch company during recent days.
 From what can be learned regarding the company's con temptations it1appears certain that development work will De continued during the winter on practically the same scale as last winter. A contract has been let to Emil Olson, Herb Anderson and Pete Westman for an extension of the North Star tunnel on the Buena Vista claim, while the company will concentrate it's activities large  ly on the E. Pluribus Unum claim, said to be one of the richest properties in the Big Missouri Group. A crew of about twenty men will be em- ployed, in addition to the drill crews.

Writing to his father, P. w. Mcdonnell, under an October date, w. R. CBilly") McDon- nell, stated that since his de- parture from Hyder he has found it necessary to remodel the automobile brake device invented by him while he was residing here some years ago, because of the high cost of manufacturing the original model.
 MT. McDonnell's letter says that he has successfully ac- complished the task and now has a brake that has only four parts and cost about half the price necessary to produce one of the old models. He as- serts that the new device is so simple that it can be refined in about 10 minutes and without removing the hubs of the rear wheels. In it's present form the brake can be guaranteed for the life of the car, about 80,000 miles, he says.
 "I have them on a Buick 6 brougham," the letter contin- ues. "The car weighs 4O42 pounds and the brakes stop it with the very slightest foot pressure. I have tested them in all kinds of weather and they are not affected by mud, oil or water. They have been run l5,672 miles so far and are in perfect shape and are plainly going to last the 8O,0O0 miles. I will have to test them six months more and will then sub- init them to the companies and know they will be O. K. this time. I am going, to make them hydraulic after the test as they are operated mechanically now"
 MT Mcdonnell has secured Canadian patents for the brake and is now amply pro- tected against infringements in America and abroad.

PROGRESS ON
 RIVERSIDE GROUP

R. G. Mellin, E. M., who took charge of development at the Riverside mine following the recent purchase of the con- trolling interest in the River side Mining & Milling Go. by E. E. Hall, of Winnepeg, is making good progress on a new development program which is expected to open the way for a large increase in the pres mt productive capacities of the mine when fully worked out.
 Surface operations on the property now indicate that the large and highly promising lead recently uncovered some distance above the present workings is not an independent vein, as was at first supposed, but in all probability is a con- tinuation of the we'll known Lindeborg lead. Stoping oper- ations on the lower parts of the latter vein have yielded excellent values. The new lead, or extension has been traced approximately a thousand feet to a point only a few rods away from the Lindeborg vein and while the contact has not been located as yet every indi- cation points to a junction of the two ore bodies at some point in the unexplored area between. The lead averages around four feet in width and shows profitable values on the surface.
 As the apex is located about TOO feet above the main working level of the mine the vein promises to provide a large and very valuable ore resource if it reaches down to the present working level and maintains values similar to those found on the surface.
 Following the installation of new liners some time ago the mill has been operating steadi- ly. Company officials state that in pursuance of the new development plan the mill will probably be closed down for a time later on while the under ground development scheme, designed to enable larger ore production, is being worked out.
 An additional shipment of 49 tons of mill concentrates were sent to the smelter on the last trip of the Oregon.

 PROGRESS REPORT


 PROGRESS REPORT The August report of devel- opment progress on the B. c. Silver issued by the head of- flee of the Selukwe Company in London, provides the fol- lowing data, which confirms in all important respects the reports published by the Her aid at earlier periods.
 The report says: "No. 3 lev el: Drift 334 was advanced no it. and 80 fit. of crosscut was done. On August 5 it pass ed out of the granite dyke and into favorable porphyry on the northern side of the dyke. Cross cutting located a heavy silicified area. It is too early to say whether this is the con- tinuation of the ore channel or not. In July report a 20-ft. cross cut had located part of "C" ore body in drift 334. This ore averages from 40 to 50 it. in length, and over a width of 20 it., it averages $27. The crosscut has been continued a further 20 it. to connect with Drift 336 on ID" ore body, and this last 20 it. av- erages about between $3 and $4 a ton. It would appear that "C" and ID" ore bodes came together at this point, giving a total width of 60 feet of milling ore.
 Drift 331: In preparation for diamond drilling the extension of the vein system in the di- rection of the Premier a furth- CT 100 fit. of crosscutting was done, and diamond drilling station was put in.
 No. 8 intermediate level (5O fit. below No. 3 leveD The raise was continued a further 15 it. up to No. 3 level-in S100 ore, and some high grade ore was stopped in this area.
 General: A total of 365 fit. of drifting and raising was done during the month. Ap- proximately 120 tons of $1OO ore was sacked for shipment. A new and enlarged assay of flee has been built, and a mod ern change house for the min CTS was completed. A com mencement was made on the 
 installation of a 60,O00 gallon fuel oil tank, and on a central heating plant for the camp.

TREADWELL
 ARE SWEPT BY FIRE

Part of the town of Douglas, including the Indian village, and all of Treadwell were swept away October 10 in what is described by the Jun eau papers as one of the most disastrous catastrophes that ever ovetook an Alaskan town.
 The entire eastern part of Douglas and the Indian section were laid in ruins. Thirty eight residences occupied by whites in Douglas and Tread well were destroyed and forty two Indians families, totaling about 125 person, were left homeless by the conflagration. A considerable number of whites also lost all of their possessions. The property loss was estimated at $200,000. Few of the white residents of the destroyed portion of Doug las saved either household or personal effects, while many lost up to $500 in money. The Indians were left practically destitute, having had time to save only their bedding and the clothes on their back.
 Starting about 8 am. from sparks falling upon an aband- oned house in the Indian will lage, the fire ragged throughout the day, famed by a wind, which at times reached a ve- locity of 50 miles per hour. The fire spread with amazing rapidity despite the fact that several lines of hose were pour ing sea water on the flames. Fires started by flying embers speedily developed within a radius of two blocks of the main conflagration and rend- cred the situation still more difficult for the hard pressed firemen. The Juneau fire de- partment was called upon for assistance but was busy answer ing local alarms and could not respond. A few men and a quantity of extra hose were sent to the stricken towns by Mayor J. J. Connors and the crew of the Coast Guard Cut ter Unalga gave invaluable assistance in subduing the flames. About II a. m. the wind, which had been blowing from the east and driving the fire toward the main section of Douglas, suddenly veered to the opposite direction and carried the flames toward Treadwell, which was soon ablaze and doomed to almost complete destruction. After burning almost unchecked throughout the day the flames were brought under control late in the evening and finally were extinguished.
 The homeless Indians were given shelter in the Natatori- um building, one of the few few buildings in the burned area escaping destruction, where they were cared for by the Juneau Red Cross. The whites who lost. their homes were either given shelter by friends or moved into new To- cations. Although a number of persons had narrow escapes, no serious injuries were report ed.
 Everything went at Treadwell
