It is an in spiration. however. to know that he is still here and better quail fled than ever to do big things for Juneau and Alaska
 "Mr. Thane has already been accorded high place among the mining men of the Pacific Coast, which means that he looms large among those of the world. Pos sessing an intelligent imagination. an educated and trained mind and practical skill gained from experience, he was among the first to vision the great potentiali. ties of the low-grade gold deposits of the Juneau district, and to

 'It takes many sided man u succeed at mining under condl tions as they exist in the Juneau district. It requires not only en gineering ability and foresight but, on account of the necessity for large capital to produce the tonnage required to make a pro fit from low-grade ores, it re quires financing business and or ganizing abilities as we'll. Mr Thane possesses them all.

 With the development program completed,' in 1916 he was male managing director of the corpora. ton with headquarters in San Francisco.
 War Brings Disaster
 The mining operations were maintained for five :, years after that, although the World War brought about revolutionary price changes for all materials and equipment essential to the mining industry. When the end of hos. tilities brought no relief in the high cost situation. MT. Thane, realizing that it would not be possible to continue the com pany's mining operations under existing conditions. turned his at tention to the possibility of de- veloping the pulp and paper man. ufacturing industry here.
 The company possessed cheap power. docks, machine shops, mesBhouses, bunkhouses. town and mill sites. and other facilities which he saw could very readily be made valuabl. in this connec. tion. He was familiar with the timber resources of Southeastern Alaska, the vast amount of unde. veloped water power and other resources which make it almost ideal for the industry.
 Causes Resource Study
 Beginning in 1921. he threw all of his energy and talents into the effort to bring this industry t6 Juneau. He caused the first seri- ous studies of the field to be made and reports to be prepared.
 In 1923, sensing chance ta market nitrates in Japan, he made a special trip there to in terest the Mitsui Company in Southeastern Alaska as source of manufactured supply. He re turned with party of engineers representing the company who in vestigated the field and local con ditions. While their report wa said to have been favorable, nc definite deal was ever closed probably, it is said, because ths pulp and paper interests on ths Pacific Coast began to take al

 Interested in Russia
 In addition to his activities con nected with local development, MT.
