CHARLES A. HOPX?
Editor und Proprietor*.
A man fauiiliar with conditions said
to the News a few days ago that the
ontlook is good for the most prosper
ous season that the mines of this seo
tion ever had. He further stated, .as a
reason for his belief, that the Peterson
property at T Harbor has beeu sold
and will be worked this summer: at the j
Ebner mino a mill will he built and
work started on a large scale:. the
Berners Bay properties have been sold;,
there is good prospect of t he sale of the
Vankee Basin properties aarl? in the '
spring; Nevada Creek is working a
force of men;, there is a ebauce of
something doing at Sheep creek; the
the Perseverance will increase its plaut;..
theTreadwell is bigger and- better than
ever; and something- may develop at
the Bear's Nest. 3esi(ie9 this there are
numerous prospects in this section
that are fa*t de7elopiug into miues.
We hope and believe that it will all
come about, [t is time that the world
was learning the greatuess of. the gold
belt of which the properties named oc
cupy but a small portion.
The Burns Program
Because the Caledonian club cele
bration was held se near tor the time of
the publication o? the News last- week,.'
aud thu^e srho attended were too tired
to talk the uext morning, we failed? to
secure a complete program. of the exor
cises. As wo believe it will be of in
terest to many of. our. readers we pub
lish it this week..

THE SOUTH IS GOING DRY
Lay the jest about the julep in the camphor bnlls at last,.
For tho miraolo has happened, ami the olden days are past.:
That which makes Milwaukee famous does not foam in Tounossoe,.
And the lid on Hoke Smith's Georgia's Jockod-as tight as tight can be;:
Atid the comic paper colonel and his cronies may well sigh,
For the whiskey flows no louder, audit ho South- is i*oing dry.
Uy the*;till sido on the hillside in Kentucky all Is still,
Jtnd the only damp refreshments must bo dipped up from the rill..
"Nawth" Car'lina!s stately ruler gives his sodn-glnss a shove
Ami discusses local. option with the So*th?Car*)inn "Guv."
It is useless at tho fountain to bo wiukfiU of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty, .and. the South is going dry..
It is "Water, water everywhere, ami not a drop to/lrink
We no longer hear the music of the yellow crystal clink
Whou tho Colonel ami the Majpr and. the Geu'ca! and the "Jtcdge"'
Meet to take a little nip to givo their appetites an edge,
For tho eggno g now. is uogless ivml the rye has.gone awry,
And tho punch bowl: hold?camations, for tho South is going dry.
All the nightcaps now have tassels- and are worn upon tho heodt.
Gone the nightcaps that were taken when nobody went to bed ;
Ami the breeze above the Bluegrass is as solemn i\s in deaths
For it bears no pungent clove tang on its odiforic breath;
And each man .can walk tho chalkline when tho stars are in the sky,.
For the fl iy. is now h/.zloss. and the South is going dry
Lay the jest about tho julep 'neath tho chestnut trees at last..
Kor there's but one kind of moonshine and the olden days are past.
The waterwagon rum hies .through the Southland) on Lts-trip
And it helps no one to drop off to pick.up,the driver's whip;
For the niintbeds-now are mintlcss and tho corkscrew hangc.th high;:
All is still along the hillside, and the .South is going dry..
Friday ? the fairest* or foulest ? has [
proven its truth. Last Friday was a 1
bad 0119 ou (jlas tinea u. channel. A ,
strong south wind and a strong, tide 1
came up the chaunel together. Tho'j
waves rolled high ? we are told 12 feet
high cn the Juneau side. Just after
the first ferry in tho morning had 1
landed its Douglas passengers :vt the '
Juneau float a huge timber fell from |
the top of the structure, striking the
gang. plank ? which it cut. square in j
two. Then the rest of it came down, j
lea7ing the float a total wreck. No one
was hurt.. The Misses Annie Museth j
aud ilildnr and Maud Liljestrand had j
just climbed to the main wharf when j
the crash came. The freight steamer
Meteor, .tied to the face oL the Pacific
Coast wharf, .was forced inland by the
wiud aud waves until she drove the
wharf two or three) feet back. Occu- '
pants- of buildings a half a block away
? also ou piles ? felt the Impact and
quickly fled to the .street, thiuking the :
buildings were about to fall.. The
Meteor was finally worked away from I
the wharf and anchored, in the channel '
opposite Douglas. The Juneau harbor
was tilled with floating debris, broken t
gas boats aud piles. On the Douglas
side the danger was less,, because the j
wind expended its force ou the little
island aud other obstructions iu the
ahauuel.
