realized that prompt measures

The Colonel, big and still DOW

of Sandy, between him and the
SenSeleSS body of Vinckers. Come
back" he said sternly. Get out
of it. Remember that you are a
sportsman sir. Don't kick a man
that's down."
No admonition could have been
more apt. Sandy fetched up all

the wind. CenSure for violence
could not have held him just then,
nor an appeal to that mercy which
for the moment had no place in
him. But SportSmanShip was an

Scending the limitation of special

had said, despite the fact that
only few days previously Mouse
mad treated in similar fashion a
negress who had fooliShly put snuff
IN the sensitive receptacle that
queSted sweets.

The Colonel looked more panied

TACT that you are here shows he

All the more fool Vinckers,

credit for it and he might have

He was trying to scare you off,
Sandy" the Colonel said soothing

in Vinck in any of them.

Herfe'S the result. The moment
I haul off for a little peace from

Sandy listened to this in aston

he seemed to spoil his effect by
what sounded to be utter child

But, Colonel, really, the man

Colonel Carlton patted him on

APEx-EL NID0
IS SHUT DOWN
AFTER FREEZE
Lisianski Mine Will Become
Producer Believes
Clothier

The Apex-El Nido god mine at
Lisianski Inlet on Chichagof Island
will be real mine, according to
George Clothier, Vancouver mining
man who is developing the prop
|erty. Re
Clothier, with c. c, Camp, metal
urgist for the mine, flew to Juneau
Yesterday from the mine with a
$1,000 gold brick. The ingot of gold.
although pock-marked and dirty,
approximately 10 inches long, four
inches wide and almost an inch
thick, is heavy with promise OF
bigger things to be at Lisianski In
let.
The Apex-El Nido, discovered and
opened in 1923. has up to now been
an infrequent producer, through IN
ADEQUATE management and opera
ton. but George Clothier feels that
the past seasons work on both the
Apex ore body and the Ell Nido body
has proven the value of the mine
for future development in increased
milling capacity and production.
The mine itself is in two bodies
several hundred feet above the
beach. Aerial trans carry the ore
1900 feet from the lower tunnel OF
the. Apex body to the tipple above
the mine whence the ore is
trammed to ten ton stamp mill.
Another aerial tram from the Ell
Nido claims runs approximately 1000
feet to the tipple.
Around 1000 tons of ore were run
through the mill during the sum-
mer's operations which were dis
rupted for a number of weeks fol-
lowing compressor breakdown.
The gold in the free milling quartz
being mined, is recovered through
amalgamation. with fairly high
recovery. but according to Clothier,
there are possibilities a larger mill
will be Installed next season.
Twenty men have been employed
at the camp since Clothier Bros, be-
gan operating and testing the values
of the ore last May Lack of water
has caused the mill to be shut down
for the winter until water starts
running again next April.
During the course of next years
operations, a new power line and
new water system will be built. Clo-
thier will sail south to his VAN

ED ANDREWS /. =
FOUND DEAD
IN HIS HOME
Resident of Douglas, Pion-
eer Photograph, Suffers
Sudden Heart Attack

Edmund Andrews, pioneer photo
erapher of Alaska, most beloved
resident of Douglas Island for forty
wears ago. is dead as the result OF
apparent sudden heart failure. His
body was discovered in his dwelling
on St. AIMS Avenue, Douglas, about
O'Clock last evening after some
of his close friends became alarmed
at not having seen him since Mon
day night, notified City Marshal
Nunamaker, who with E. E. Eng
strom broke into his house, which
was locked from the inside, ana
made the discovery. From the po-
sition of the body death must have
come to him instantaneoSly, and
the time must have been shortly
after he reached his home Monday
night when he was last seen alive,
or about II o'clock midnight DR..
L. p. Dawes was called TO pronounce
him dead and the remains were then
removed to the Charles w. Carter
Mortuary, to be prepared for inter-
ment as soon as advices from rela-
tives are received.
Ed, as Mr.. Andrews was known
by practically everyone in Douglas,
as well as hundreds of friends
throughout the Territory, was 90
wears old. He was born in Norway
in 1872, on November 4, and went
as a young lad with his folks to
South Dokota, being a farmer dur
ing his earlier life.
He came to Douglas about 1897
his first occupation then being in
the Treadwell store as clerk. Fol-
lowing that he went into the res
taurant business here, later sold
out and opened his photograph stu
dio. AS his business grew and pros
pered. his knowledge and his effic-
iency in photography expanded un-
til it became recognized as second
to none all over Alaska.
Particularly notable of his work
were his IL by 20-inch reproduc-
tons of Alaska scenes which he
made and distributed in large guam
ties through dealers In most parts
of the Territory during the past 25
years. A serious calamity to Mr..
Andrews was the last big fire which
not only burned him out OF home
and business, but destroyed his
valuable collection OF negatives. He
had hoped and planned to be able
