JACK FRISBEE FINDS VEIN THAT
HAS EARMARKS OF BEING
GOOD PROPERTY.
MINING NOTES FROM WILLOW.
Gold Bullion Company Employs Sixty
Five Miners and Management Well
Pleased With Outlook for Season—
Many Prospectors Are in the Hills
in Vicinity.
George Anderson returned Thurs
day from a week’s trip to the Willow
creek mining district and is more than
ever firm in the faith that with the
advent of capital the district will
make a big producing camp.
He reports a new strike by Jack
Frisbee that bears all the earmarks of
becoming a valuable property. Fris
bee made the discovery on property
he has been interested in for several
years and is located in the vicinity of
the Fern-Godell-Talkeetna and Little
Gem mines. He has uncovered a tv
foot vein and the assays run as Yltgh
as .$900 per ton. Frisbee is working
two shifts on a tunnel at the present
[ and is in over 50 feet. The mouth of
! the tunnel is about 3,000 feet from
; the Little Gem property and is be- j
: lieved to be on the same vein.
W. R. Hocking, who is working the i
Talkeetna mine under lease, has
started the mill and is in good pay
ing ore.
Bartholf and Horning are working
; a crew of men on the Gold Cord tun
nel and the values are holding up sat-1
'sfactorily. A mill will be installed ;
on this property as soon as further 1
development work is completed.
Mr. Anderson says the Gold Bullion
mines are employing 65 men and the ■
management is exceptionally well |
pleased with the outlook for a very
| successful season.
There are many prospectors in the
|hills this season and more waiting to!
go in as soon as the snow is off. From
ail reports this is the latest season of !
! the district for several years.
Dr. and Mrs. E. M. Spaulding have :

are capably looking after the health!
: of the miners in the district. Sam
\
Me.Millen, the camp freighter and
{road house man, is busy hauling in
freight and supplies for the various
! outfits and operators.
Milo Kelly will start development;
I work on his several properties in a
short time and is prepared to do con- ■
I .
j siderable important work this season,
j There are 20 men working at the j
! Martin mines getting out ore and pre
! paring the mill for the season’s run. :
Mr. Martin is expected to arrive in
Anchorage on the Alameda tomorrow j
and will take active charge of the
Martin and Mabel mines.
Chas. E. Herron, president of the
Willow Creek Development company,
will start the work on the Reed creek I
property in the near future. Mr. Her
ron is also expected on the Alameda,
j Mr. Anderson brings the common
complaint of poor condition of roads,
especially the road between the Mc
Millen road house and the hospital.
I The road from Wasilla to Mile 28 is
in fair shape, but needs considerable '
repair work.
The road commission did some good |
work on the roads from the hospital j
to the Mabel mine and also to the j
! Martin mine last year but both roads j
are sadly in need of repair on account j
of recent washouts. Mr. Anderson \
has his outfit ready to return to the j
district next week and has his plans !
laid for extensive development and j
operation on the Little Gem property
! that showed up so favorably last sea
son.

PRESIDENT ENDORSES ADOP
TION BY OTHER STATES OF
MARYLAND LAW ON MATTER.
BETWEEN EIGHTEEN AND FIFTY
Believes That All Males, Whether
Rich or Poor, Should Be Compelled
to Find Employment, if They Are
Immune or Ineligible for Service in
the Army.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 15.—
President Wilson has come out in
favor of the nation-wide compulsory
work movement during the period of
:he war, thus supplementing General
Crowder’s work or fight regulations.
His approval of this plan is voiced
in a letter to Governor Harrington,
)f Maryland, made public today
The president endosed the adoption
by other states of the union of the
Maryland compulsory work law,
under which the work or fight prin
ciple is made applicable to men be
tween the ages of eighteen and fifty
years, unless illness or incapacity j
prevents.
Maryland is the first state to pass i
such a law and it is found that most j
beneficial results have followed. The !
law applies with equal force to rich j
or poor.
EVERY MAN IN HUN
COMPANY LOST LIFE
LIVERPOOL, June 15.—How every J
man of a German company lost his i
life in an attack on the Armentieres
front is told in a letter from a Liver- j
pool officer to his local newspaper.
“The fiercest fight we had,” he
writes, “was when the enemy massed j
troops with the object of widening
the gap he hud made. The attempt
was made in open country, where we
were able to mass a number of bat
talions against him, and the fighting:
was very fierce.
“Our Liverpool battalion had the |
post of honor. When the Germans j
started to throw their troops against
us we poured into their ranks a very
heavy fire and did terrific execution.
“Immediately in front of us, a Ger
man company got caught between our
fire and that of another English reg
iment, with the result that they could
neither advance nor go back. They >
kept on trying to reach our square,
but were shot down one by one until
only six of them remained. These
six threw down their rifles and signi
fied that they wished to surrender.
But they were seen by a German offi
cer near-by, who gave an order to
his men, and the six were shot down
by their own comrades before they
could reach us.”
TWO MEN DROWNED ON
WAY TO KETCHIKAN
(Ketchikan Miner)
Spencer B. Van Zandt, manager for <
the Carstens Tacking company, re
ceived word by mail Saturday of the
death of his brother-in-law7, George
C. Fisher, of Bellingham, Wash., by
drowning, when the gas boat Pio
neer, on which he was traveling to
Ketchikan was wrecked.
Mr. Fisher, accompanied by his
partner, Thomas McCue, were on their
way to Ketchikan where it was their
plan to start a saltery. The party
left Bellingham on the Pioneer Friday
morning, May 10, and the accident is
said to have occurred on Saturday
night in Seymour narrows.
AIRMEN GIVEN WARNING.
AMSTERDAM, June 15.—Accord
ing to the German newspapers, the
Swiss government has arranged that
the Swiss frontier guards shall send
up special rockets whenever a bellig
erent airman by mistake invades
Swiss territory. Airmen thus warned
are supposed to turn back without de
lay.
DANIELS SAYS SHIPS FOR MIL
LIONS READY BEFORE AN
OTHER SUMMER.
DESTROYERS IN PLENTY.
Sever Again, Says Secretary of Navy,
Must Our Commerce Be Carried in
Foreign Bottoms—Uncle Sam Rea
dy to Draft Men from 18 to 60
Years Old, If Necessary to Win
War.
WASHINGTON, June 15.—The
United States is ready to draft men
from 18 to 60 years of age, if that
is necessary to win the war, declared
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, in a
recent speech before Rutgers college,
New Brunswick. His declaration
was loudly cheered. He predicted
“before another summer we will
have enough ships to carry not only
a million, but millions, to France, and
enough destroyers to carry them there
in safety.” This brought another out
burst from the 600 men listening to
him.
Every reference to increased ship
ping to get men to France was cheer
ed and applauded. There was a dem
onstration when Secretary Daniels
said American soldiers and sailors
will own the country when they come
back and that Americans would give
it to them gladly.
In addressing the college, Secre
tary Daniels said, in part:
“I am happy to some to this city
which has given to the American na
vy in its hour of supreme need a com
mander whose name makes his deeds
compare with the stars. I refer, of
course to Commander Arthur S. Car
penter, of the Fanning, an officer typ
ical of the navy, the story of whose
judgment, valor, and courage will be,
when we come to write the story of
these days of strife, one of the most
illuminating and inspiring pa^s. In
all our wars our navy has played a
glorious part from the time of John
Paul Jones until Carpenter captured
the first Germans taken by Americans
and went out after more, and he will
capture more before the war is over.
“Almost every day in my official
capacity I am now called upon to give
a name to a ship, and we are going to
get them out faster. We are going to
get out the greatest naval ships pro
duced, the destroyers on which men
do not sleep for days and do not eat
except standing up. I have knowl
edge of one destroyer which convoyed
177 ships safely. Admiral Sims, when
he came upon this particular destroy
er in a harbor, expecting to find the
boys tired of their duty, found them
fresh and asking no questions except
‘Admiral, where do we go next?’
“There are 300,000 men in the navy
now and there will be 400,000 soon.
They are enlisting so fast we have to
ask them to stay at home for a few
days until we can build new ships for
them. We have no common seamen
any more—they are all common he
roes. Since the war began 1,500 men
have been promoted to be officers, and
to see them you would believe they
had come up through Annapolis. The
young men of today have shown they
will enlist, sacrifice, win victories, and
give their lives for their country’s
sake. The first men to enlist when
the call came were college men. They
were supposed to be soft, and high
brows, but every time I go aboard a
ship and see those stalwart young
men I am impressed with the astound
ing manner in which they have proven
they have the stuff.
“Our men are receiving commenda
tory remarks from every side, from
the French, the British, and the Itali
ans. The only obstacle in the way of
America’s participation in this war
is tonnage. If we had^iad the vision,
years ago, to have a merchant marine,
we would not have been so handicap
ped at the outbreak of the war. Out
of this war we must learn that our
commerce must never again be carried
iov-e ui ijdlayette ivr uus tvuiaiy.
And when they come back they’ll
own America and we will give it 4o
them gladly and proudly.” •*
“The president of the United States,
the foremost statesman of the world
and the spokesman for humanity—
and all the world thanks New Jersey
for giving him to us—and the con
gress of the United States have cal- ^
led men to the colors from 21 to 31
years of age. Young men in college
from 18 to 21 should stay in college
until they reach the latter age. The
day may come when, if necessary,
congress may change the age limit
because men from 21 to 31 cannot win
the war. Then we will call on the
men from 18 to 60.
“No man ought to surrender his in
dependence in politics, but I do not ^
believe in mockery in religion and pol
itics. There isn’t a man in America
today who will get a following with
the people unless he puts America
above party.
“We shall have many anxious mo
ments before victory comes, but never
for a moment should we be in doubt.
We have no business to listen to pes
simism. What cowardise is to the
soldier pessimism is to the civilian.
; We have no more right to doubt the<||
| result of the war than that God rules
I the heavens.”
MONUMENTSOF
HISTORIC VALUE
PARIS, June 15.—Steps have been ^
i taken by France to conserve and re
I pair historic monuments in the war
I zone.
“The Historic Monuments commit
I tee has had a double task to perform”
| says a report of the budget commit
tee to the chamber of deputies. Its
first task has been the removal of pic
tures, statues, stained glass and wood *
carvings; it second has been the pro
tection, so far as possible, of what
could not be removed,
i “Thousands of works of art have
thus been saved from destruction,
; such as the statues and stained glass
windows of the church of Thann. the
; mausoleum of Rene de Chalons, Ligier
I Richier’s famous skeleton now at Bar
le-Duc, the windows of the churches
of Chalons, Pont-a-Mousson, and
• Epernap and all the art treasures of
j “Whatever could not be removed,
whether within churches or standing
in the open, has been protected by
i means of framework filled with bags
of earth. In this way the famous
! Place Stanislas at Xancy, the facade
I of the Musee Lorrain and the tombs
of the Cordeliers (Grey Friars) have
| been rendered practically proof f
against shell and bomb fire.
“The Cathedral of Amiens has re
ceived special attention and has an
independent fire brigade attached to
it, with a water power sufficiently
strong to reach the spire. So far re
pairs to historic monuments have con
sisted in rendering the churches wea
ther-proof, but architects are already
preparing definite plans and estimates
with a view to permanent restoration.
“In regard to the ruins which the
Germans have left in their wake the
authorities have already decided not
to give over to total destruction cer
tain relics but to leave them for fu
ture generations as eloquent witnes-^
ses of the war. Side by side with
monumental ruins such as Ablain
j Saint-Xazaire, Perthes, Massiges,
| Soulain, which tell of the disasters of
invasion, there are other mementoes
which will be of the greatest interest
and value ^hereafter as instances and
object lessons of the character and
methods of the war, such as more
important field works, but the legal
status of these souvenirs has yet to
be fixed.
“There are places which have been
the scenes of so much heroism that
they have become places of pilgrim
age. It is the duty of the state to
assure their preservation and protect
them from commercial profanation.”
When we see the Anti-Everything
organizations protesting because our
i boys in France are permitted to have
cigarettes and tobacco sent to them
from this country, we are glad that
we are broad-minded enough to be a
rummy.
