|Meeting of Club
Great Success
.."Thursday's meeting of the Wom
an's Club proved a very enjoyable
one, and the program was. uninten
tionally, perhaps, suited to the pres
ent season of the year, when remod
elling and redecorating is the order
of the day.
The entire program for the even
ing was along the lines of home im
provement. Mrs. Coding's paper
dealt with "Color in the Home."
.Mrs. Ih'dr.ian. had an excellent pa
per on "Flower Arrangement in the
Home." while .Mrs. L. C. Gault read
a paper on "Homo Decorution." or
iginally prepared by Mrs. Albert
llciuert. formerly of Skagway, who
had made a special study of this
subject, and the paper showed care
ful preparation and was most in
structive.
As a fitting climax Dr. T. Run
nalls gave a twenty minutes' talk on
"Sanitation i:i the Home," and
i pointed out many precautious that
might be taken for the protection
of health in ti e home and commun
ity. The roll call response was
"What 1 Have found Most Conven
ient in My Home."
Monday evening. May 2. a May
festival is to be given at the Social
Center by the Club. A great deal
of time and thought has been ex
pended on the program and decora
tions. and a good time is assured.
The refreshments are to lie not only
dainty tint elaborate. The next reg
ular meeting ol' the Club will be
held May 11'

[ Representative Jtilieti, of N'ome.
believes that iln- women of ttie
| Territory should have the decision
j in the matter of determining wheth
j er women should be required to
I serve a* jurors. In line with that
' thought hi- lias pr< ented a bill, that
[ if ii heroines a law. will give the
women t'e right at the next gen
eral eleetiolt to declare for or
against the privilege. The act is
as follows:
"Section 1. There shall be sub
mitred tu the female electors of the
Territory at the next general elec
tion the question whether or not
they are in favor of a law requiring
women to serve as jurors.
"Section 2. At such election there
shall be printed a separate ballot
which shall be distributed to fell]ale
electors alone, oil which ballot shall
be printed:
" Tor a law requiring women
to serve as jurers.'
" 'Against a law requiring wo
men to serve as jurors.'
"'Note: Place a cross (X)
opposite your choice.'
"Section 3. The canvassing of
such vote shall be performed in the
same manner as the canvassing of
the returns of the election of a
member of the Territorial Legisla
ture. and the result be transmitted
by the Governor to the next succeed
ing Legislature on the first day of
the convening thereof.
"Section 4. In the event the cer
tificate of the canvassing board
shall show that a majority of the
female electors have declared in
favor of a law requiring women to I
serve as jurors, the first Legislature
in session after such election shall
pass an act appropriately-expressing I
the wish of said electors."

Ulfi STRIKE IS RE
PORTED OX CHK'IIAtiOI 1'
Word has reached Juneau lhat
the Hirst-Chichagoff property, just
across the divide from the Chich
Agoff mine, has made a rich strike, j
which some o£ the mining men con
tend is an extension oC the famous
Chichagoff ledge.
Uecently the company is said to
have alloted $00,000 to continue i
work this summer with a view of
demonstrating the extent of the ore I
body on a lower level.
On that^part of Chichagoff Island j
the ledges run with the formation |
as is the case on Lisianski Straits. I
The Hirst-Chichagoff property is in j
the same general direction as the i
ledges mined by the Chichagoff I
property, and all along certain min
ing men have contended that the
former property was likely to pick I
up an extension of the famous lodge.
Others contended that the strike!
might trend more easterly, and Bow- j
ers has been working on outcrop- j
pings on the end of Peel Island, |
which he thought might prove an j
extension of the Chichagoff ledge. I
As the result of the news receiv
ed in the city today, several parties
are preparing to leave at once, and ■
likely much additional prospecting (
and work will be done iu that vicin-j
ity this summer.
Juneau people are interested in |
the Hirst-Chichagoff property. — i
