DAYS IX ON A VISIT
Among the visitors to Dawson.
' this week has been Captain John
j J. Donovan, mining recorder. Unit
• ed States commissioner, official
"dry bquad," agent for explosives,
| and poo-bah generally for Uncle
I Sam *t Steele creek, on the Forty
mile i^ver. This 1« the captain's
first visit to the metropolis in
many moons. He f'rst came to Daw
son in the stampede in 1898, and
was here until 1903. He dug the
first drain across the townsite of
Dawson, in '98 and was compensated
voluntarily for the labor by Gov
ernor Ogilvie. He also built
the Donovan hotel, which stood
on the present site of the Francis,
and which was burned in what was
known as the ''Hotel McDonald fire,
which occurred in 1904 and swept
out many buildings. Capt. Dono
van afterward went to Alaska, and
was iu Fairbanks, Koyukuk and
other camps, and »ben for two
years slipped down to the Canal
i Zone and helped Uncle Sam build
! the Panama canal. Later he re*
I turned north and became the great
I factotum at Steele creek. He is
I £et as vigorous and as rugged as
j ever, and fit for other new adven
I tures, and is anxious to see some"
| thing exciting started. The captain
| left vesterday for the return to
i Fort.vmile. He reports that dis
trict orderly. The passing of old
| John Barleycorn in Alaska, says
the captain, deprived the boys of
some of the old Deverage. but
everybody is getting past just the
; a a me.—Dawson News.

SALVATION ARMY
15 AFTER FIDS
FOR ill WORK
Enis.rn W. Kerr, in charge of Sal
vation Army work iu Alaska, with
aeadquraters at Wrangell, Alaska,
and Vancouver, B. C., is in Skag
way on his way through the Terri
tory for the purpose of interesting i
the people in the Salvation Army
War Fund.
Ensisn Kerr is a pioneer of Al
aska, and for ten years was sta- j
tioned in the north. He viisted I
Skagway a year or so ago while I
making a report on the territory to
headquarters.
"We have 50 ambulance cars on
the war front," said Mr. Kerr.
"Three hundred 'Huts' where re
freshments and other necessary
equipment are provided for the com
fort o' the soldiers.
"The Salvation Army has 100,
000 men and women engaged in war
work of one sort or another, and
this does not include a single chap
lain or person engaged in religious
work. These people are dong just
what their hands find to do. They
are confining themselves to no par
ticular oranch of war work, but en
gage in that which is nearest at
hand and needs doing the most"
This is the first year the Salva
tion Army has called on the public
for funds to aid it In war work.
Heretofore the work has been prose
cuted from the funds of the organi
zation collected in the usual manner
This lats Spring a call was sent out
by Miss Evangeline Booth, at the j
head of the American branch of the .
Salvation Army, for $1,000,000. She
quickly got more than $2,000,000.
Then she left for France for the
purpose of personally overseeing
the work done there by the Ameri
can oranch of the Army.
"The Salvation Army has felt
that Alaska should help in this
great work," said Ensign. Kerr,
"and sent me out to See what I
could do. The people of Peters
burg came to the front nicely, and
1 am here to reoeive what aid the
people of Skagway see fit to give."

way from the Salvation Army in
Franc*. If you are hungry, they
meet you with ham and eggs; if
you're mopish they cheer you up
with a 6ong; if you are not do
ing the straight thing they give
you a rough time at their meetings,
and if you are put out of action
by a shell they give you a ride ln
a motor car; if you 'go West' they
put ud a slab to mark your rest
ing-place."
Sir Douglas Haig has expressed
great appreciation o' the Salvation
Army at the front with these words:)
"The Salvation Army workers
have shown themselves to be of
the richt sort, and I value their
presence here as being one of the
oest influences on the moral and
spiritual welfare of the troops at
th'* bases. The inestimable value
of these influences is realised when
the morale of the troops is after
wards put to the test at the front."
THOMYS LATIMER WILL
INSTALL THE PCLP MILL
Thomas Latimer will have cnarge
of installing the machinery for the
pulp mill to bo operated by W. S.
Pekovich at Funter Bay in connec
tion w'th his mlnlag interests there.
This will be the first pulp mill to
bo operated in Alaska, and the an
nouncement of the prospective in
dustr" made yesterday, created) con
siderable interest.
In speaking further about the
project, Mr. Pekovich said:
"Clear sprue© lumber for aero
piano construction now commands
a price of $160 per thousand i
the outside market and with the
vast Nadies of spruce4to bg had in
Alaska valuable aid to this mar
ket dpmand can bA had from here.
As soon as the mill is in full op
eration, I was given to under
stand oy the Forrest Manufactur
ing Co., that ships of their own
would be provided for transport
ing the lumber and pulu from the
mills here to the Outside.
"I reoeived a wire from Thomas
Latimer a few days ago to the ef
fect that the machinery for both
mills had Deen secured and would
bo shipped as soon as possible. Mr.
Latimer will have charge of in
stalline: the pulp mill, having been
in the wood PuId business for
years. The pulp mill will handle all
the re'use from the spruce lumber^
much of which mus* be out away «o
secure the clear wocl for aeroplane
construction. The mill will have a
capacity of 20 tons of pulp daily,
while «he sawmill will be installed
in four units oft 25,000 capacity
each.
"While there is a large amount
of power at the Present for min
ing operations, it is the intention
of *he newly formed company *o
have an auxiliary tseam plant which
will generate sufficient power 'or
both mills
"While negot'tine- for tne ma
chinery, we realize! that owing to
the heavy freight congestion out
side, there was probability that it
would take all summer and fall
to land tne machinery here, so a
Government ^referential order was
secured for this freight and It will
be rushed through as urgent Gov
ernment business.
"The work of preparing the mill
sites will begin at once and by
late fall or eary winter, we hope
to have these mills in operation
in connection with the work at the
mines.—Empire.
CHASED BY BROWN BEAR
Nfh'e Neal and Mrs. A1 Roberts
were chased by a brown bear near
Mile 45 the other day according to
a report brought here. The two
women were walking along the
track Wnen the btsr brute appeared.
The women hastened to a aearby
trestle and remained ■until the brown
bear wandered off in the brush.
Bears dislike trestles and the wo
men were safe from attack as

RAIIY HOLLOW
NEEDS ROADS
Haines, Aug 10.—Richard Ken
nedy is now readyf to
haul ore with his auto-tractor, hav
ing put the roads in shape bo that
the machine can pass over them
with heavy leads. This has re
quired the greater part of three
months, and the work has extend
ed all the way from this city to
Rainy Hollow.
From this time until snow falls
the tractor will be busy, hauling
out the ore from the copper pro
perties in the Rainy Hollow fl®
trict. Teams will also be used, and
it is believed that quite a numbber
of toas of high grade ore will be
brought here and transshipped to j
the smelter at Tacoma.
This year's work will be only a j
starter, and is made to. convince the
more skeptical ones that the rich
ore deposits in the Rainy Hollow
district is not a myth but a reality.
Next summer is expected to see
the beginning of great activities
by the owners of the various copper
properties, themselves, and Instead
of bonding the claims and waiting
for outsiders to develop the ore
bodies and do the shipping, this will
be done by the mea who have pa
tiently held on to the mines for so
many years.
The plans which are now formu
lating is for tth0 movement of
large amounts of ore by heavy trac
tors, and this will be continued
until such a time as an electric
railway can be constructed into the
mines. N
he power for ftuch a road is
unlimited, and already several wat
er power sites have been filed oo.
and placed on record, and wihen the
power road ia finally installed the
operating expense will be very
small.
The greatest handicap which the
district has had to contend with
during the past several years has
been the poor condition of the
roads. This has not been due to
lack o" work on them by the vari
ous road commissions, but has been
occasioned by- the elements which
have caused much, damage to the
roads, through wasnouts due to
high water, snowslides, and land
slide?. Through the lower, or
rWar level sections traversed by
the roads the high waters have
made them practically impassable
for either teams, tractors or foot
travel.
At » point about lour miles
north of WellB, (24 miles north
of Haines) and extending for a
distance of two miles, this condi
tion is exceptionally bad, and
if the government could survey a
new loute thus overcoming the
water drawback, the Alaska end
of the road would be very good.
Beginning with the British, Colum
bia road at Pleasant Camp, for
a distance of about two miles cor*
dourov should be placed and this
would overcome every difficulty
that has hampered the development
of this vast mineral belt, which, has
by shipments of as high as five
hundred tom? proven that the ore
is of grreat richness.
