Juneau and ad joining the Hallum group. In a large piece of quartz brought to the city by Mr. Perelle may be see” specks of gold sticking out. if such samples were found in almost any other mining camp they wouul cause •i wild stampede. It is not the first time, either, that iMiuaUv as rich hunks of quartz have hem taken from the same group, or from different places on Mt. Juneau, hut what makes it important is the fact that it is said to have been found at several poinU in the 48-foot pros pect tunnel which has been driven to cross-cut the ledge on the (ioldstein group. Mining men believe that the time is not far distant when the whole Sal mon side of Mt. Juneau will be worked as extensively as in the same Juneau gold belt of the Alaska-Juneau Com pany and the Alaska Ciastineau Com pany. Fx. Best cigars and refreshments at Terminal Bar.

It seems to want all the money of both commissions and who can blame it? It wants the money of the Hoad Commission to build feeders for the railroad 4>f the engineering commission and it will probably be a little sore if it does not get what it asks right away. No one can exactly blame Sister Anchorage for this, only it is to be hoped its soreness will not develope into abuse of officials. Mrs. Gibbs, wife of the timekeeper of the railroad, has left to spend a couple of months visiting her friends. She will return home for Christmas.
