FURTHER CONTROVERSY
IS CAUSED IN THE
WEYERHORST ISSUE1
i
Joseph Weyerhorst today filed a
supplemental surveyors' report of ex
penditures on the Weyerhorst group?
of lode claims located on Douglas Isl
and showing that 1500 worth of work
has been performed on each claim
in the group.
John Rustgard. as attorney for
Weyerhorst also filed a brief in sup
port of the report, contending that
development work for patent on a min
ing claim may be performed after the
expiration of the period of publica
tion, as part of the work in this case
was done. He also contended that
all work done by alleged trespassers
on a mining claim may be cited by
the prior claimant as part of his de
velopment work.
This action on me pan 01 wever
horst is pursuant to a notice from the
officers of the local land office re
quiring him to show cause why the
application or patent to the lode
claims should not be rejected for the
reason that $500 worth of work had
not been done on or for the benefit
of each of the claims in the group.
The Weyerhorst claims are located
on Douglas Island near Swanson
Creek, opposite Juneau, and Is the'
subject of a controversy and adverse
claim in the local land office. The
Weyerhorst claims were located a
couple of years ago and an adverse
claim was filed a short time later
by Frank Perrie. who claims to have
had the claims located for a number
of years. Perrie also claims that he
ha3 performed the annual assessment
work on the claims *or each year
since their orlg'nal location and that
they were not open to entry by any
one.

iousness of the present situation. It
is solely on tho request of these var
ious groups that I am hero this even
ing."
Granite Creek Plan.
Mr. Thane stated there were two
propositions the people of Juneau
could turn to, Granite creek or Sal
mon creek. Mr. Thane went Into a
very thorough and detailed discussion
of the two creeks, fclB remarks show
ing engineering Information. Granite
creek, said Mr. Thane, while capable
of furnishing an absolute supply of
water during the summer months
would hardly bo adequate during tho
winter months. A dam would of ne
cessity have to be constructed, which
would entail great expense. There
would bo much rock work occass.'oned
and one of tho chief contentions would
bo the obtaining of the right to use
the water of Granite creek from the
various concerns holding optional pos
session. Mr. Thano also stated that
to his mind there would also be great
danger of polutlon.
Salmon Creek Plan.
The Salmon Creek proposition, how
ever was best suited to the needs of
| Juneau, according to Mr. Thane's es
I tlmatlon. There la a reservoir and
i also a dam. The city could tap the
1 water for Its supply a short distance
from the lower wheel, then sink a
caisson. The overflow would thus be
allowed to go Into tho bay. Tho Al
aska Gastincau company would In ev
|ery way render all assistance to the
city for such a Bystem. The piping
for th^ system would cost at least
$20,000. The cost of both terminals
with pumps, a 50 horse power Dels
sel engine would bo another cost of
approximately $20,000, but this would
Insure a half million gallon supply
dally. Tho entire cost of bringing
present mains would bo In round num
bers. about $50,000.
Method of Financing.
The method of undertaking this en
terprise would *ue for thirty or forty
persons actively Interested In the
community to underwrite the system,
then Issue bonds redeemable within n
certain period. These bonds, would
of course, bo Interest bearing, replied
Mr. Thane, and the entire system
could be offered to the city which
would represent an ent're equipment.
The group of underwriters should bo
nlllowed some *refit for their trouble
but this would bo satisfactorily ad
lusted in tho difference between sov
en per cent bonds and the profit
which would ultimately be reached
between fifteen of sixteen per cent.
"Of course," said Mr. Thane, "I would
bo my Idea that this group of under
writers would be a representative
group of Juneau citizens."
Water Not Now Poluted.
When Mr. Thane completed his for
mal discussion he was asked to be
"eatod at the counciimen's table and
foln In the subsequent discussion.
Vctlng Mayor Willis stated that re
garding the present system of water
mains. It would only bo a matter of a
very short time before nearly tho en
Mre system would necessarily be re
placed. "Many mains are now leak
?ng," said Mr. Willis, "and I know
from fact that this lc ono of the rea
sons why there In a water shortage
at present. Together with these leaks
tho shortage Is aggravated by tho per
s'stent refusal of the citizens to shut
off their water Instead of allowing
tap3 to remain open In order to pre
vent freezing of their pipes."
Fire Chief Frleman stated that for
tho benefit of the councllmen present
and the people of Juneau In general,
he wished to report that diir'ng the
afternoon, In company with others,
he had made an Inspection and could
authoritatively state that there was no
lold Creek water entering the city
mains now. Mr. Frleman said many
citizens wero becoming needlessly ex
c'ted. fearing polluted water was en
tering the mains and causing tho
present sickness.
water for Analyrla.
At this point Councilman Brltt asked
that a resolution be adopted Instruct
ing the city clerk to send a gallon of
city water to the University of Wash
?ngton for a thorough test. Mr. Thane
suggested thai with the gallon of
'he present city water there would
also be sent a gallon of Salmon creek
water. Both Ideas were adopted and
Mr. Thane further suggested and
stated If It was the wish of the coun
cil. he would have the engineer de
partment of the Alaska Gastlneau
company prepare maps showing the
drainage of the source of the two
water supplies with all other data
which would be In Itself complcto In
formation for those making the an
alysis. Mr. Thane's suggestion was
chberfully adopted.
The final admonishment to the
special comm'ttce was to havo an au
dience with Manager Lewis of the
present water system, as soon as pos
sible after his arrival In Juneau, which
would be some time this month.
Water for Fire Purposes.
H. P. Crowther stated from the
Goor of the chamber, that at any time
he could be of service to the special
wafer comm',ttea, giving engineer's
advice, he would readily placo him
self at the committee's disposal.
Fearing the present cold snap
might cause a water shortage, when
water would be necessary, the council
adopted a resolution authorizing the
Are marshal to notify the Alaska El
ectric Light &. Power company to turn
nto tho city mains tho company's
flow from Gold Creek. Tho council
stated that this action would only bo
deemed urgent in case of fire if tho
regular supply was insufficient. A
letter was ordered sont to Ed. Mar;,
gerle of the Alaska Electric Light &
Power company, notifying him of the
council's act'on and thanking him for
his offer which was made to the city
through Councilman Miller.

? WAR SIDELIGHT 8 +

A king's mesengcr, returned to Lon
don, tells of a recent casualty of war
which he deplores. At Mark Ker
i there Is a small British naval Btaff
employed by the Greek government..
An officer who had risen from Its
ranks went Into an Athens restaurant,
whereupon ono of the Baron Schenck
staff, having cocked his eye at the
newcomer, spat ostentatiously In his
direction. Tho Britisher insisted to
the manager thct, as there were ladles
present, this offensive German de
part. The latter refused, and tho Br.'t
isher told him in Greek that when he
did leave ho would be thrashed on the
street. Tho German fnlsely declared
that he understood any Greek, but
upon leaving was followed to the
street and was felled by the Britisher
with one solar plexus blow. At the
hospital the doctor informed the Ger
man that he was dying. "All right,"
came the retort, "do not make a fuss
about it, 1 brought It on myself."
"That was not a bad sort,'1 concludes
the story-teller."
Dr. Narlm Boy, secretary of the
Young Turk party, stated in Berlin
that Turkey Is plentifully supplied
with fopd and raw materials which she
will share with Germany when trans-'
portatlon is arranged. Ho claims 30,
000,OOo kilograms of cotton can bo
spared, and 10,000,000 k'los reserved
in Turkish homes, as well as 88,000,
000 pounds of copper.
About 8000 dogs have been used in
connection with military operations
of the Central Powers, the guard and
ambulance dogs being of great bcr
vice. Request was made some time
ago to return from the United States
to Germany all trained German sheep
1 ilogs In this country .
The British foreign ofllcc announces
that 109 bags of parcel post mail from
the United States seized on a Swedish
steamer were found to contain rub
ber and were consigned to n Swedish
forwarding agent for material destined
for Germany.
Zoppel'n raids have reduced Lon
don's fire loss, according to leading
'Ire Insurance publications, by mak- ,
inc people more careful and watchful
and by training them to act instantly
in time of fire.
WASHINGTON ? Inventors have
been flooding the war department
with suggestions since the outbreak
of the European war, the board of or
dnance and fortifications having re- j
viewed an avcrago of three hundred
proposals a month, acordlr.g to Its
nnnual report made public recently.
A now system has been Inaugurated
under which tho department heads
will pass on these suggestions in the
first Instance, relieving the board of
much useless labor, as many of them
have no value.
A Paris dispatch declares tho Green
election a farce, stating that only one
third of the 700,000 voters cast bal
lots. Venezllos supporters declare !t
a victory, as ho requested followers
not to vote.
Tho United States has again pro
tested to tho presence of British
cruisers off tho port of New York.
Britain denied that her cruisers had
come within tho three-mile limit at
the time of the vrst protest sent after
the Danish steamer VInland was pur
sued to this port.
The Greek Prime Minister Bkoul
oudis, in an interview with the Lon
don Daily Chronicle's correspondent,
sayB: "Wo are at the most critical
moment of our history. The future Is
black as night, but the time has come
when the truth should be known about
Greeco's attitude and Greece's policy.
My country has been maligned; her
government has been attacked. Yet
the fault is not ours. It Is the Pour
Power Allianco, not we, who are res
ponsible. Tho allies have flouted and
angered Greece, instead of dealing
with us frankly. If tbo allies had
come frankly to Greece and said,
'Come in with us. Wo want your aid.
You may count on clearly defined re
compense ct the end of the struggle,"
Greece could not havo hesitated for a
single minute. Instead. England and
Franco began by demanding sacrifices
from Greece."
A New York Times correspondent
states that women are digging the
Berlin subway, and in project to tun
nel under the Spree river, women are
employed as shaft-sinkers. Iron-work
ers, pipe-fitters and riveters. Middle
aged women armed with night-sticks
serve as city watchmen.
Berlin advices say that Hungary, as
a condition of peace, is willing to
piedgo Russia that the Dardanelles
will always remain open for Russian
commerce.
