roneous. The coal is said to
be in fact of distinctly bitumin
ous type and of the highest
grade of that type obtainable
anywhere. As the original

the misinformation given is
deeply regretted.
Boys Charged With Vandalism
Breaking of windows with
“nigger-shooters” and other
acts of vandalism by small
boys are causing much com
plaint among property .own
ers, some of whom are prepar
to invoke the law if no other
mean-; can be found t> curb
their destructive propensities
The lad,-: responsible for most
of the depredations are said to
be definitely known, having
been seen at their nefarious
practices cn several occasions.
The duty of preventing such
acto rests primarily with .he
parent?, who are also respon
sible for damages caused by
their offspring. If .he parents
are not able to control children
who indulge in piactices which
cause disturbance and damage
to others, it is obvious that the
law must be invoked, a? acts i
of such character cannot be 1
tolerated. Parents cf small
boys will be well advised to
take immediate steps to
control their sons if they would
avoid much trouble and poss
ible damage costs.
Vancouver Group Takes
Over Ketchikan Mine
A Vancouver group headed
by Col. E. J. Ryan and J. W.
deB. Farris, has acquired the
Dolomi mine on Prince of
Wales Island, thirty miles or so
from Ketchikan. The comp
any is known as the Alaska
British Columbia Gold Mines
and has a capitalization of 1,
000,000 shares, none of which
have beein issued to the public.
More than $250,000 has been
expended on the property by
former owners. A 40-ton mill
was installed, in addition to a
hydro-electric plant, light rail
way, wharf and ether surface
constructions. Approximately
10,000 tons of ore is also said
to be on the dumps.
The new owners plan to in
crease the capacity of the mill
to 100-tons and install a hydro
i electric plant costing around
$30,000. Contracts are being
let for the necessary machine
ry and equipment. The mill is
expected to be ready for opejr
ation about March 1 next.
