 Mining, generally, ether than gold is also looking up.
 Juneau will handle twelve thou sand tons of ore daily through the Alaska Juneau mill, and several idle properties will be rehabilitated and placed in production.

The water poured over the river banks in several places. When the abnor- nal tide. whipped by heavy gale met the flood waters pouring down from the interior, the rush of water found hundreds of persons sleep ing in basement rooms. They were driven from their beds and at least twenty were trapped ond drowned with the possibility that further victims will be found. As the tide went out the Thames returned to normal. but fearing a recurrence of the disaster on the next tide, en- gineers worked frantically building temporary barricades at places where the embodiment collapsed.

ASKS FOR
 4 NEW BATH HOUSE AT
 TENAKEE H0T SPRINGS

A petition is being circulated about the city by Harry Wertz, well-known Chulitna mining man, who arrived in Seward Saturday from Tenakee where the mineral springs are located. MT. Wertz, thru the medium of this pet ition, addressed to the Alaska dele gate, and which has already been sign ed by hundreds of Alaskans, hopes to bring action in having a new bath house erected at the springs. The springs are on government reserve, which all such are, therefore private concern or individual may not deyel- op the property as perhaps they would like to see or have done.
 Since 1905 an old log cabin has suf- feed but this is now, and has been for years, it is said, to be in terrible condition from a point of sanitation. The springs have long been popular as a healing place for rheumatism.
 The petition asks for the sum of $10, 900 for the erection of suitable building for bath house purposes for the benefit of men and women, and for additional arrangements for na- tives.
