 Tn the death ot MT. Metzgar, Alaska loses one of it's most able citizens" said F. L. Bartlett, Sec retary of the Territory today "As a respected and valued member of the community and as successful. energetic executive whose manage ment of the largest single enter prise in the Territory has been out standing. he built for himself a reputation for honorable conduct, fair dealing and ability. His loss will be long felt and keenly felt"
 John Beck, President of the First National Bank. of which MT. Metz gar was Vice President and member of the Board of Directors, deplored his death. Its severe blow he said. He was a close friend. He has been active in the bank, a standby to us We will miss him and I feel that have lost one of my closest and oldest friends. '
 George A. Parks, former Cover nor of Alaska and a member of the board of the First National Bank, whose association had been close to Mir. Metzgar said, T feel that we have lost one of our most substantial citizens and the min Ing fraternity in Alaska one of it's greatest engineers
 J. J. Connors, who was closely associated with MT. Metzgar for many years said, His death leaves a vacancy that will be hard to ill. He was one of Alaska's most prominent men.

shock and great loss to the com munity."
 MT. Metzgar's loss will be keen ly felt by the people of Juneau and those of the Territory at large, said J. A. Hellenthal, general coun- sel for the Alaska Juneau" Devoted though he was to the Alaska Ju- neau mine, he never lacked inter- est in the welfare of the commun- ity and the Territory. He was an able executive, a skilful engineer and a public-spirited citizen IT he was a useful man. As one of his many friends, I shall miss him greatly"
 "L. H. Metzgar was more than an able engineer and executive of Alaska's largest business organiza- ton. He was a fine friend, fine citizen of his city and his Terri tory. He has earned an important and enduring place in the history of Alaska, said John w. Troy, former Governor of the Territory.
 Of MT. Metzar's death, II. L. Faulkner said:
 Juneau and Douglas and the vicinity have suffered much It. er loss in the death Of MT. Metz gar than we are likely to apprec- fate just now. Ills services m mak- ing a s uc cess of the mine were greater than most persons realize. Few of us have worked so hard as he did, not only with the difficult engineering problems he encoun- tered. but with the equally diff cult tasks involved in adninistra- ticn. The Territory, the communi- ties of Juneau and Douglas and the employees of the company will for 6 long time feel very keeny the loss which they have suffered in his sudden death"
 J. A. Williams, Assistant Super intendent of the Alaska-Junea said:
 MT, Metzgar's death came as. a great shock to me. It was only in the last mail from the south that had received a letter telling Of the trip he and Mrs. Metzgar had recently made to the Eastern sea board. His health then was good, he said, and they were all enjoying their vacation. MT. Metzgar was General Superintendent at Tread well in 1919 when became assayer there. We have been close friends ever since. He will be greatly missed at the Alaska Juneau by both em- ployees and the staff, not only on account of his. ability as a miner and engineer, but also as an ad- ministrator in these times when the proper relations between the company and the employees are so important.
