Kensington Mining
 Development to Be Immediately Slowed
Engineer Racey Declares Margin of Return Has
 Been Pared TooLow

Immediate, drastic curtaiiment of development operations" at the Kensington Gold Mining properties was foretold here last evening by P. w. Racey, consulting engineer for the development, just previous to his sailing south b oard the steamer North Sea. Complete ces- sation of operations at the work ings, until more favorable indica- tions are in prospect, is likely to follow later he added.
 MT. Racey returned south last evening after a brief call at the Kensington properties, following his arrival here aboard the Canadian steamer Princess Louise, last Sat- urday. He brought north with him word of the decision of A. B. Trites and associates, the developing com pany, to immediately retrench on development expenditures on the properties.
 According to MT. Racey, the com panys decision to curtail followed soon upon the passage of the three percent gross gold levy by the Ter ritorial Legislature.
 Reasons For Slow Down
 After considering the huge outlay of funds still necessary before the Kensington properti ies could be brought to production, MT. Trites deemed that the new Territorial levy, added to numerous other taxes and incidental outlays, which may be expected or are now current, would so cut the expected revenues from the properties as to make the risk of the development so great that he and his associates are un- able to see their way clear to push the development at this time," MT Racey stated. Presumption of full speed development of the Kensing- ton properties will be dependent up- on improving mining indications in the future"
 MT. Racey went to Comet from Juneau Sunday morning, aboard the boat Treva O., owned by Ralph Reischl, and returned to Juneau aboard the same vessel Wednesday night, accompanied by H. A. Rose, new superintendent of the Comet workings, who arrived in Juneau on the last voyage of the Princess Norah. MT. Rose was to return to Kensington this morning aboard the Treva C., and immediately start pairing down the crew at the mine, according to MT Racey.
 Rose in Charge
 MT. Rose will continue to charge at the mine until operations shall be completely halted, in case they are, and I expect to return north to view the properties from time to time," MT. Racey continued. as he expressed the pleasure that he always derived in coming to Juneau. 1T like this country. The people are very genial" he said
 Much progress has been made on the Kensington properties, he closed. But, a gerat deal more time and the expenditure of huge sums of money are still necessary before any return from them can be ex- |pected."
