FREEBURN WILL SINK SHAFT ON
 NEW ORE BODY
Drive 100 Feet Lower than Drift Both Ways to
 Prove Extent

Enroute to Chichagof after hurried business trip to Seattle, James l.. Freeburn, prominent min ing man and head of the new de- velopment program at the old Chi chagof mine, arrived here Satur- day night and visited local friends while the steamer was making its Lynn Canal Calls. He left for Sitka this morning and will pro- ceed to the mine from there.
 MT. Freeburn announced that shaft would be sunk 100 feet below the 1900 foot level where a new oredeposit was uncovered recent ly. Following this work, which will take 30 days, he will drift both ways from the shaft along the vein.
 Until the shaft is completed, he said, he will not be able to use more men than he now has em- ployed. In about 30 days he will add to his force to push the drift ing. It will require about three months, he added, to determine whether the new orebody is large enough to justify resuming mining and milling operations
 MT. Freeman, who is also inter ested in the Pyramid Packing Company, which operates a cannery at Sitka, said fish prices looked slightly firmer Conservative brok- CTS in Seattle are confident this years pink salmon pack will bring $1 per dozen.
 Salmon packers from Rake and Petersburg south are well ahead of last season. The runs up to early last week in Icy Strait and around Sitka had not been showing up.

WHAT THE GARDEN HEARD.


a A ERRoW CRAIG, the residence
MI which Annabelie Querdling
V had inherited from her father,
A i Richard Plantag- met Querd-
ling, was more than large
enough for her quiet household.
There were q dozen bed rooms and
four reception rooms The smaller
drawing room, at the side Of the house,
had been given the nieces for their prl-
vate use and they took Supt Redmond
and his companions there to begin the
questioning.
The Superintendent invited Haswell
to remain with him and Consta BILE ~Ros-
coe. After Evelyn. Donald Wade and
Lionel Duekworth withdrew. he pSos
duced his notebook and asked Marjorie,
the f1rst witness, to sit down. About
a year old-r than her sister, her coloring
and blue eyes were similar, but 10 JIM
mie she did not appear as attractive.
II knew your aunt. although I have
only spoken 10 her few times. How
old was she?" ask d Redmond.
Sixty nine" said the girl, in low
clear voice.
APART from these letters. had there
been any trouble that you know off,
Il don't think 50, but-in what way
to you meen?"
well, was there ever real quarrel?
You cannot think of any one who might
have wanted to injure her?"
The girl considered the question and
paled little, but her no was again
quite firm.
Il see. Please tell me exactly WHO
lives in the house"
only my sister and myself-with my
aunt. And of course the servants"
Had your aunt any other relations?"
my brother, Vincent. He lives in
London. We haven't sen him for four
months"

ants Any men?'
Acres. the gardencr. and the chaut-
fsur, Edward Green. But he is: leaving
He" she hesitated and her color re-
turned-"he wanted to marry"
do you man. asked Jimmie, sTlil-
ing. that your aunt dismissed Green
because she dtsapproved of that mar
risge in particular or of marriages in
general?"
"Of marriages in general" said the
girl more warmly Aunt Annabelle was
very good in mary ways but in that she
was most unreasonable" A slight flush
indicated that in this she disagreed with
her aunt.
Amy besides these two msn?"
George Dent and Arthur don't
know his name-help Ben They live
in the village" Marjorie supplem nted.
There are three maids. Mrs Frater.

Were there others here last night?"
