RECOVERING GOLD FROM MILL FLOOR A crew of men is busily engaged at the present time converting the old Sheep creek quartz mill into an exper imental station for the Alaska-Gas tineau Mining Company's use. It is a well known fact that much of the ore milled in this old plant was very rich. This being the case the floor would naturally carry, as most quartz mills do, considerable value in gold that has ben deposited in fine parti cles through the operation of the plant. That there can be no needless loss of such valuable metal the floor is being burned in the furnace of the old plant and the ashes are to be put through a process that will enable the recovery of the gold. Such instances are not uncommon. In nearly every placer camp the old sluice boxes are known to yield liberally when re duced to ashes. COURT NOTES. The trial of Joe Webber could not proceed yesterday morning for the reason that the defendant was not in court. It being shown that Webber was unable to reach Juneau on ac count of not being able to get trans portation, the trial was continued. HOSPITAL NOTES.

[OLDEST NEWSPAPER QUITS The president of the Chinese Re public, Yuan Schi Kai. recently sup pressed the newspaper King-Bon, which undoubtedly was the oldest ' newspaper in the world. . For 1,500 ? years it has reported the more im portant news not only of China, but also of foreign countries. At a time when the art of printing and journal- ? ism was as yet unknown in Europe, the Chinese Gong-Chung invented a means for making types from lead and silver, and in the year 400 A. D., the paper King-Boa was printed, and ' has since been issued regularly until ' recently. The first edition was print- ' ed on ten sheets of yellow silk, neatly tied together and was thus sent to all the highest officials in the Chinese Em pire.
