A RESUME Of
THE^HALIUM"
John Perrelle, who has been the
superintendent In charge of the de
velopment work of the Hallum Con
struction Company stated Staurday
that the company expected to rosume
active development work soon, prob
ably within the next few weeks. The
Hallum Construction company owns,
or has ootTons on what are known
as the George R. Noble properties,
consisting of the Hallum and Goldstein
groups combined, numbering twenty
two claims; the Salmon Creek group
of claims numbering 24 In all and the
Boston group of claims that are lying
adjacent to and partly In the town
of Juneau.
There has been a considerable
amount of development work dono on
the properties. Mr. Perrelle review
ing the work In brief says:
SALMON CREEK.
"At Salmon Creek, we have built
a dam for power purposes and It is
in use. This dam is 45 feet high and
135 foot long. A flumo has been con
structed. four by flvo feet In dimen
sion, for a distance of 2,400 feet to
tho penstock and from this point a
36 Inch iron pipe convoys the water
1000 feet to the air compressors and
mill. There are two air compressors
?ono with a capacity for 6 and the
other for S drills. The little tube
mill which was erected at the place
has a capacity of 60 tons of ore each
day. There Is also a saw mill and
lighting plant at the Salmon Creek
establishment, all of which are oper
ated by water power.
Mine Development.
"The mine development consists of
a two-compartment shaft sunk to a
depth of 275 feet: S00 feet of drifting
along the vein on the 70-foot level;
and a 500-foot crosscut on the 250
foot level. The vein on the 70-foot
level is about six feet in width. The
ore was milled and averaged about
per ton. Three ore bodies were
encountered on the 250-foot level, one
24 feet wido. another IS feet wide and
the third 40 feet wido. There are
two more veins yet to be cut and it
will require an extension of the cross
cut about 300 feet to do It. It is all
good ore showing free gold.
THE HALLUM.
"On the Halium which Joins the
Ebner the crosscut tunnel which was
started last August has been driven
a distance of 500 feet. It will have
to be extended 2,500 feet above the
lead is tapped. The lead on the sur
face where a great deal of develop- j
moat work has been done shows to
be of great width and of good values.
It is practically of the same general
character as the Alaska-Juneau and i
the Ebner mines. In order to begin
work here it was necessary to first 1
construct 700 feet of gravity tram ]
road and erect a hoist, besides shops <
This was (iono and three drills start
BOSTON GROUP.
"A new abaft houso was built on
the Boston group and gallows frame
erected, hoist-hou30 built and hoist
installed as well as air compressor,
boilera. and Cornish pumps, and a
building for repair shops erected.
"The main shaft is down 110 foot.
Ar. the GO-foot level a cross cut has
boon extended for a distance of 50
feet, all In ore. At a depth of 100
foet another cross-cut has been ex
tended 100 foot cutting tho ore body
from wall to wall u distance of 100
feet The body Is brown diorito and
quartz and carries good low grado
values."
CLOSED BY WAR.
Development waa progressing fine
up to tho outbreak of the European
war and continued for some time after-j
ward on all the properties but tho
company was finally forced to close
down on account of tho Eastern money
situation, according to Mr. Porrolle.
He states, however that things are
taking a more hopeful look and it i9
expected development work will now
begin again.
CLAIMS ATTRACT INTEREST
Although there has been no official
announcement concerning the matter
it is bolieved that the Bamc interests
that are financing the Ebnor dovelop
ments have options on all these pro
perties and will Lake them ovor when
a certain stage of development has
been reached.
It -is known that R. A. Klnzlc who
was In Juneau early in tho winter in
company with A. P. Anderson, Pa
cific Coast manager for tho United
States Smelting Refining & Mining
company, inspected all of these pro
perties as well as tho Ebnor and that
ho went East. It is bcliovcd by many
that Mr. Klnzio has made a report
on all of the properties and that an
other consolidation is imminent.
NEW SCHEDULE FOR
GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC
A new schedule went Into effect on
the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad yes
terday. Overland trains now arrlvo
at Prince Rupert at 6 p. m. Sundays
and Thursdays, and leave Wednesdays
and Saturdays as formerly. The sche
dules of the Prince George and Prince
John have been changed to conform
to those of the railroad.

BAGGAGE OF A GENERAL
DOESNT SHOW HIS WORTH
It may be laid down as a military
exiom that a goneral's ability Is not
measured bv tho amount of baggage
he takes to war. says the Washing
ton Star. It is said that wlion Gen.
Sir John Fronch embarked to take
command of the British forces now
fighting with tho French against the
GennauB In northern Franco all the
baggage he took with him was con
tained In a single suit case.
When Stonewall Jacl&on started out
on a campaign he took along no per
sonal baggage except a withered car- ]
pctbag of ancient pattern, and even j
this modest receptacle was but half
filled.
Contrariwise, when Napoleon III.,
emperor of France, loft Paris In 1870!
to take command of the armies, which
lie said, were going straight to Ber
lin, he took along 48 trunks, besides
i most voluminous kitchen and bed
room equipage. The Germans got ev
ery scrap of it all at Sedan.
BRITAIN LOSES 25
PER CENT. OF OFFICERS j
Since war started, 1,548 officers of
the regular British Army have been
slainfl and 1.S18 so badly wounded
that they cannot return to the front.
Altogether about one-quarter of all of
the officers on the active liss are
slther dead of seriously maimed.?

Tho appeal of Gov. J. F. A. Strong
of Alaska, to the Secretary of the In

authorities t) our great crime against
the -Alaska Indian, but Congress has
delayed so '.ong in affording a mcas
uro of rell-f that the cynical must
feel that remedial legislation nocd
not bo expocted within a reasonable
timo. There can bo no excuse offer
ed that those conditions arc now dis
closed for the first time, for the Wash
ington government has been fully In
formed concerning them, as far hack
of the Medical Corps of the Array,
then stationed at Fort William Hi Se
ward, made a complete report to the
War Department in which ho called
is has made a whole people Its vic
tims. Sanitation and hygiene arc un
inadequate. Living conditions are In
tolerable. As Governor Strong says:
"death stalks everywhere.!" We look
ment of the Indian in tho early years
of our history. Here Is a trying nec
essity of the. immediate presont, a
work of humanity to bo done before
who have been the victims qf tho white
man's cruel Indifference and neglect.
