MEHERIN BACK FROM s ATES
 WITH HIS BRIDE
Hills Brothers Representa- tive Expects Best Busi-
 ness Tn 1852

After a sojourn of more than three months in the States, Joseph J. Mehegin, representative in AL aska of Hills Brothers Coffee, re- turnsd on the steamship Admiral Evans last night to his headquart- CTS in Juneau. He is accompanied by Mrs. Meherin. They were mar ried in Seattle Christmas Day.
 They will make their home in this city. MT. Meherin will stay here week and then make busi- ness trip to the Westward
 On his visit to the States, MT. Meherin was in Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. Tn the latter city he attended the national meet ing of Hills Brothers representa- tives.
 From the standpoint of sales MT. Meherin said today, Hills Brothers coffee trade. in 1881 was their largest in poundage of any year This satisfactory showing is attributed to the fact that mer- chants are concentrating on fewer brands and using more of the gen. orally advertised products.
 "A. A. Humphrey, who represent ed Hills Brothers in Alaska ten years and who is sales manager of the Chicago Division now, was at the San Francisco meeting with his staff of 45 salesmen. He reported that in Chicago, where Hills Broth CTS have conducted an intensive sales campaign since last October 37 per cent of the coffee used by residents of the city is Hills Broth CTS.
 T am glad to be back in Juneau. expect to have my best business year this year Mrs Meherin and I hope to obtain living apartments this week. She will stay here while make my business trip to the Westward"

DINNER FOR
 DADS, SONS IS TONIGHT
Scout Affair Opens at 5: l5 P. M. in Moose Hall,
 Ends at Capitol

It'll be a quiet evening at home for mother tonight, but dads and sons will be having their night of nights together, for they'll be at the Moose nall for the annual Dinner of the Juneau Boy Scouts.
 Those who are the hungriest arc expected to go earliest and eat at the first sitting at 5:15 o'clock. Table seats will be refilled at about o'clock and a third sitting will be held if necessary.
 The Annual Father and Son Dinner was started here with the organization of the first Scout Troop in Juneau in 1922. In the earlier years it was for Scouts only, and was held in what is now the Juneau Grade School building.
 All Boys Invited
 When the Scouting movement had grown to some proportions the Dinner idea grew with it, and in recent years all the boys in Juneau have been invited. Tonight it is ex- pected all attendance records will be broken.
 While a Southern dinner pre- pared by the Juneau Women's club is sufficient in itself to attract the dads and sons, the Scouts Council decided to make it doubly attrac- tive by giving those attending. a treat at the theatre.
 To Attend Capitol This was made possible through the courtesy of Eric Paulson, who has opened up the Capitol theatre tonight to the boys and their fathers. A nominal admission charge is being asked and the only request made by MT. Paulson is that all boys be, in the company of a Dad.
 l Prior to attending the show there will be a brief talk at the Moose Hall in regard to the local Scout movement.

Legend has it, Perkinson said,
that the Spaniards located the
Escalante Mine and forced the
Indians to help them work it..
Finally the Indians turned upon
their oppressors killed them all
and dumped huge quantities of
gold ore which had been loaded
on burros for removal from the
mine, onto the fl oor Of the tunnel
and then sealed up the entrance
to the mine with dirt, rocks and
worthless ore Perkinson's the
ory is that the burro skeleton
found in the canyon several
years ago was that of an ANNA!
that had escaped during the
fighting between the Indians aud
the Spaniards.
A dim trail, Perkinson said i.
leads from the abandoned mine
back into the bills to the Old
Dakota Mission. The ore, be
said, apparently was taken to
the mission from the mine and
then transported by OK train
through Altar, Mexico. to the
Gulf of California for shipment
to Spain.
@. w. Mckee, who went to old
Mexico several years ago and
found records of the Escalante
Mine, said he was unable to say
how much gold had been taken
from the mine but that be learn
ed about 400 men worked the
mine for eight years.
The McKees and Parkinson
staked out as many claims as the
law would permit. They will
return to the mine today or to
morrow to begin working on it.
Two other mines, the South
ern Belle and Buffalo Bill are
located in the immediate vicinity

been taken from the Southern

search which led through dusty
and faded old documents IN Old
Mexico to the rugged wilderness
surrounding the little town Of

But no entrance to the mine

opposite side of the ridge from
the dumps of muck. .
A short distance down the
canyon. virtually hidden by the
dense growth of brush, they es

revealed they we're the collars of
vertical shafts. Farther down
the canyon they found a large
pile of muck against a hillside
and when that was partially
cleared away tunnel leading
into the mountain was revealed.
The prospectors followed the
tunnel into the bill about fifteen
feet. There their progress was
stopped by caved 10 shaft.
By means of compasses they
projected the course of the tun

found it would emerge between
the two dumps of muck on the
opposite side.
