WORLD RECORD FOR ORE
BREAKING DOWN IS SET
BY ALASKA JUNEAU
Juneau, Alaska: What is believed
to be a record on breaking down
rock was set last week in the Ala
ska Juneau mine when a single
shot brought down 5,000,000 tons
of rock. Teu and one-half tons of
powder were used in the blast'
The movement of this vast
amount of rock was felt distinct
ly throughout the town, In anum
ber of places the disturbance
was attributed to an earthquake.
Dishes were rattled on shelves in
some of the homes. Even the Gold
stein building was slightly rook
ed by the jar.

Hon. James Wickersham,for
mer federal judge and former
delegate to congress from Alaska
is a cnadidate for a judgeship in
the territory. What judicial dist
rict he will apply for cannot* be
ascertained, but it is supposed
that it will be either the First or
the Third divisions as Judge
Lomen, of the Second, and Judge
Clegg of the Fourth, have been
reappointed, and are not likely to
be disturbed.
Judge Wickersham, during
the long illness of his beloved
wife, never felt free to se* k a
judicial office since he retired
from the de’egate-ship. because
it was net possible for her to live
in the territory.

ention to the fact that the deer
season closed November i'( b in—
stead of December 15th as has
