I. M. Elmer
On Mayo Outlook
J. M. Elmer, a mining engineer!
whose name is familiar to many old i
timers in the Yukon as tho man who |
successfully pioneered the dredging i
industry in the Yukon, was a south !
bound passenger on the Spokane
last week. Mr. Elmer expects to
spend Christmas with his family in
Seattle. He is en route from Mayo
to New York.
He left Mayo Decomber 7, reached
Mlnto on the Yukon three days lat
er and Whltehorse on the 14th. Ask
ed for a few words about Mayo he
stated:
"I am repeated!)' asked for my
opinion regarding the future of
Mayo as a lasting mmp.
"To the best of my knowledge the
camp will be a peraiauent producer
Nothing so far has come under my
observation to indicate the contrary.
I have seen and experienced the rise
and decline of prosperity in many
parts of this vast northern terri
tory. comprising the Canadian Yu
kon and Alaska, eud 1 know how
vital to the life of the country and
its people is the discovery and de
velopment of permanent mineral
producing camps. To unjustly boost
Mayo or any other ramp, for the
sake of stimulating an air of pros
perity Is a vicious act and can ac
complish no lasting good. That 1
have always been a. firm believer In
the ultimate future of this country
Is self-evident. I think, by the fact
that 1 come back to It.
"There have been and will doubt
less continue to lie. in the north
country, periods of depression that
try the souls of man, hut the coun
try breeds men to meet the condi
tion. It is a he-man's country that
holds no place for weaklings and
the knocker and pessimist ure un
desirables and should be eliminated.
"That I have confidence in the
Mayo camp as a permanent produc
er is evidenced h.v the fact that 1
am spending other people's money
in the development of properties in
the district. A man can take chanc
es if he has funds of his own to
spend, but he is unwise who is care
less or shoots with a hair trigger
when it comes to handling others'
funds in a mining deal
"I believe the .Mayo field win De
a wonderful producer, but there are
some serious obstacles in the way
of quick development—lack of
quick communication and lack of
transportation facilities, excessive
costs of and freight on all commod
ities used, and ore shipped and the
shortness of tlie shipping season.
However, these obstacles will dis
appear one by one as the volume
or tonnage of ore increases. This
tonnage increase will be slow at
llrst. but more rapd as time goes
on. until Mayo will have re-estab
lished the old time prosperity of
the Yukon. At least, this is my
humble opinion."

Regarding tourists and visitors the
report says:
Much attentelon has been devot
ed to the entertainment of visitors
during the past summer. In order
to accommodate tourists arriving at
Juneau at unusual hours the cur
ator made It a special point to have
the museum open quite early in the
morning and as late as 11 p. m. at
nicht. In this way the visitors to
Juneau were given an opportunity
to see the exhibits in the museum.
Very many prominent men and wo
men from the States connected
with universities. Mate museums
and associations were entertained
| during the summer. There was
I general satisfaction manifested at
| the coinpletuess of our specimens of
Eskimo life. A large number of
| people in scientific and historical
work were given en opportunity to
■ gather vast amounts of material for
their respective work.
! From the time of the formal open
ing of the museum to the present
; day there were 4095 visitors on the
register. Fully onu quarter of the
I people coming to the museum fall
i ed to register. Muring the summer
: tho number of visitors were as fol
lows:
Special appreciation is herewith
tendered to the Juneau commercial
club for their untiring efforts In ad
vertising the merits and interest In
our exhibits.
Officers elected for the ensuing
year were Dr. D. S. Nenman, Vice
president: Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff,
secretary; John Reek* treasurer. E.
J. White and James Russell, whose
terms on the board of managers
had expired, were re-elected to
serve another term. Charles D. Gar
field was elected on the same board
in place of Mrs. Jo&ephine Valentine
who recently resigned.—Capital.

Ol.l) BELL AGAIN RINGS
Tbe Catholic Church now has a
bell. The ceremony connected with
Its Insinuation took place last week,
the dedication being made by Rev.
Father Gallant, of Skagway. The
bell is one with a history. It was
originally installed in Wrangell by
Rev. Father Altorf some time after
the organization of the first Catho
lic Church here in 1S97. During the
Nineties no priest was located here
and for a time work of the Catholic
Church was practically abandoned
in Wrangell. It 'was during this
time that the Catholic bell was tak
en to Juneau. Now, after more
than 20 years, it has been returned
to Wrangell, and its sweet tones are
recognized by tbe old times.—i

COLDS AFFECT
THE KIDNEYS
Many Sbgvay Peoplt* Have Found
This to be True
Are you wretched in bad weather?
Does every cold settle on your
kidneys?
Does your back ache and become
weak ?
Are urinary passages irregular
and distressing?
These symptom* are cause to sus
pect kidney weaknnss.
Weakened kidneys need quick
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
Grateful people recommend them.
J. L. Messersmith, blacksmith, TOO
E. Webb St., Pendleton, Oregon,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are my
old standby. Whenever I caught a
cold in my kidneys it caused my
back to ache and I suffered with
kidney complaint. At times when
1 stooped over, sharp pains caught
me in the small of my back and I
had to raise up slovlv. My kidneys
acted too frequently, causing me to
net up many times during the night.
Doan's Kidney Pills quickly banish
?d the backache and put my kidneys
n good condition. I still keep
loan's on hand to use in case of
lecessity."
