Indoor sport in Skagway is at
tracting more attention this winter
than for several years past, and it
is to be hoped that the enthusiasm
will not wane until the time arrives
for the abandonment of the gymna
sium for the tennis court, baseball
diamond, amd field and ptream.
As an out door recreation, skat
lug has come in for its share this
winter, and several of the more en
thusiastic ones Jiave even donned
their tennis togs and gripped their
racquets and tried out on the court.
Bowling and basket ball, however,
have been tie main center of at
traction, and each week the fans of
these two popular sports have had
all the excitement that was good
for their constitutions.
The bowlers are showing an im
Drovement, and during the week at
the Elks alleys several good scores
were made.
W. C. Blanchard, the old war
horse, rolled 214, while King SelmeC
followed wjth 210 and he was again
placed on the roll of honor with a
202 score.
Norman Black got his name posted
for having made 206 while J. Hunt
ley and Jim Kennedy scored 203
ar<d 202 respectively .
The "telegraph'1 games are caus
ing some excitement, and the house
congest at the Elks is getting well
alpng in its schedule, the finals be
Jag due withi* the coming few
■weeks.
Speaking of basket ball, that man
Eckenstlne or Eckenstein, spell it
whichever way you please, is sure
Rome wonder. Last night Eck shown
ed up on the floor of the White
Pag» Athletic gym for the Elks, and
he sure did play some game. He
was there all the time, and backed
bv the other four members of the
team, who went into the game de
♦e-oiined to show the Athletics at
loas* the rudiments of basket ball,
in a clean out game, the bacon was
brought home and safely stowed
away in the Elks' larder.
Owing to the fact that Durkee
jvas ill, and Roussea/u was over the
hill, Eckenstlne and J.ud Mathews
douned the Elks colors and playe
iu their stead.
Frcm the togs up, it was (easy; to
see that the Elka had their work all
laid out lor them, for Huth, Har
graves, and Smith. Liddicoat and •
Gftorge Rapuzzi, got into the game
quick, eliowing the Hearers of tie
antlers that they would have to
wake up anil play the game if they
wished to win.
Eck put one over on the Athletics
in the first half, and with pretty co
operation on Cole's part, several
field shots were made in quick se
quence. Bud Gillespie helped out 'nj
good clean plays, and Jud Matthews
and Charlgg Rapuzzi, took every op
ening and run the score up to 21
in the first half, with the Athletics
tagging along with 9 points . I
When the hall w^ togsed up at
the beginning of the second half,
it was easy tc» see that the Athletics
had talked to themselves a few,
for they got right into the game,
and for a few moments there was
nothing to it. The fans for the
black and red shouted themselves
noarse, and when Huth and Har
graves each made two field shots,
running the score up eight points,
tho spectators/ on the fireline nearly
shook the balcony down.
From that time on the play was
fast anf furious. Each side played
fast, and Referee Louis Gutfeldt wa
forced to penalize players on bothi
teams for fouls. The time up> whis
tle blew just at the proper time for
the Elks tp Win, as Demon Huth was
getting his dander up, and it was
only a question of a few seconds
more and the score would at least
"have been tied.
It was a good game, well Dlayed,
well refereed, well umpired and well
rooted.
Score:—Elks, Cole 8 field bas
kets. Gillespie 4 field baskets and
S free throws. Eckestine 1 field
basket.
Athletics—Huth 7 field baskets,
10 free throws; Hargraves 3 field
baskets; Liddicoat 1 field basket.
Elks 34; Athletics 32.

THE DUBLIN GULCH
The following is from aa Inter
view with Dr. D. 1). Cairnes of the
Geological Survey brand* of Depart
ment cf Mines, Ottawa:—
"In view of the fact that the con
cession on. Dublin, gulch, is to be
thrown open fo«r staking, probably
parly in February, it has been
♦bought advisable to give to. the
oublic, and particularly to the peo
ple of the Yukon, some information
concerning this matter. Some data
as ti» the value and importance of
tungsten orgs is also here includ
ed,
"Dublin gulch, is a tributary of
Haggart creek which flows into Mc
Questen river, a tributary of the
S'twar* river. Some placer mining
nas been conducted ou Dublin, gulch
each, year since 1898, mainly by
John Suttles, whose interests were
acquired a few months ago by Can
tin brothers. On August 30, 1905,
a concession wa^ granted oni Dublin
gulch for placer mining purposes,
which is recorded as hydraulic min
ing lease No. 47. This includes
practically all of th*°i creek! that is
adaoted to placer mining, except
abou* 2,500 feet of ground which is
located near the lower end of the
concession; this W&3 owsed Dy
John Suttles prior to 1905, and con
sequently is not included in the
concession. Ou the concession itself
almogt n,0 actual mining has been.
Derformed, and as the own
ers did not mine their
ground, according to the
terms of the lease, the holding of
it. became deterimental to the min
im* interests of thg district and it
was cancelled. Recently it was
discovered that pcheelite, which is
one p? the most valuable ores of
tungsten occurs there in important
amounts, audi as tungsten ores are
required at present by the nation to
be used in connection With the man*
ufactur© of munitions, the Depart
ment of the Intterior has decided
to throw: tb& concession open to the
public for staking as goon as possi
ble, in the hoae that an increased
production will result.
"Dr. Cairnes visited Dublin gulch
early in September last, and investi
gated the gold and scheolite-bearing
gravels of that vicinity. He reports
tha* Dublin gulch, for 2% miles
from its mouth, is adapted to placer
mining, but above there, the valley
bottom is strewn with such quanti
ties cf huge granite blocks and boul
ders, that ordinary placer mining is
impossible. The 2% miles, except
£ot the relative small amount of
ground so far worked by Suttles and
the Canting, ia practically untouch
ed; and it is believed' that this all,
as well as portions of certain of the
tributaries will pay for working.
Until the latter Bart Of last season,
[n mining the grajvels in Dublin
julch, tha gold, only teas saved; the
jcheelite waa discarded aa its v8^
wag not understood. Now that this
mineral is Known, and its import
ance realized, the value of ths
scheeljte recovered should fee com
parable with of the. gold. Tie
public is, however, cautioned against
overly optimistic hopes and inisre
presentations concerning Dublin
Uukn- The grave s tiiere are not re
markubly ricb, and fortunes will
not bo made working litem. It is be
lieved, tliougji, th-it experienced
placer miners who will locate now
and worlr their claims next season,
will be rewarded for their time and
labor, and by producing tungsten
concentrates and gold, they Will
be doing a service to the country.
In addition to the gravels lode
deposits containing seheelite have
been found which are the source
of the- placer accumulation, and
with fu.ther proi-peeting it is hoped
dapnsi^s of this nature will be found
that will also pay to mine and thus
greatly increase the tungsten ore;
production. Dr. Cairnes' report on
the tungsten deposits of Dublin
gulch and vicinity, will be published
in Hie Summary Keport of Geologi
cal Survey for 1916, and copies may
be obtained as soon as the report is
published, by applying to the Di
rector of th« Geological Survey, Ot
tawa.
"At «he beginning of the war,
thq Imperial Government placed a
price on all tuugsten, ores within th
Bri'ish Empire and prohibited their
export. The- price paid per gross
ton (2240 pounds) of 65 per ceint
W03 (tungsten trioxide) ore, is
at the rate of 55 shillings per unit
(1 per cent of 2240 pounds) per
gross ton f. o. b. Liverpool, less
charges as per H. A. Watson's' pro
forma contract. The net price thus
amounts to about ?853 per ton
without considering insurance or
freigh*. A' penalty of cents per
unit down to CO per cent W03" is im
posed,
The tungsten concentrates from
Dublin gulch, so far *ound contain
abou* 68 per cent W03.
"All tungsten concentrates mined
in Canada should be shipped di-.
reet to Mr. G. C. Macknezie, De
partment of Mines, Ottawa, Mr. Mac
Keczie being secretary of the Can
adian Munition Resources Commis
sion. He Will return payment for
all such shipments as soon as they
can b6 sampled and the samples are
assayed."—Whitehorse Star.
