NEW CRUSHER PLANT
FOR JUNEAU MINE
The big, new ore reduction plant
as It la being installed at Thane, will
use an entirely new system of crush
ing and treating the gold ore from
the Perseverance mine.
The Alaska-Gastineau compnny is
preparing to handle 24,000 tons of ore
per day at a profit of 76 cents per
ton, and have over 60,000,000 tons
Mocked oiut on their property.
The ore is handled by gravity sys
tem entirely, with the exception of
hauling from the mine, through the
mine to the upper crushing plant,
700 feet above the beach.
NOME SWEEPSTAKES
EARLY IN APRIL
The Nome Kennel Club will run
i*s All Alaska Sweepstakes during
the first part of April, 1916. The Sol
omon Derby will be run possibly In
February and will be one of the
fastest races over that distance.
Judging by the list of teams that are
eligible to start it looks as If Charlie
Johnson’s record of 5 hours and 47
minutes will be equalled, if not low
ered. His time was made over an
extremely fast trail. The probable
starters are Fred Ayer, who won the
last Derby, Allen and Darling, Bowen
and Delzenne; Setpela will pilot the
Siberians in the absence of John John
son; George Homan, Percy Blatchforu,
Harry Kiley, Emil Olson, Jos. Shel

TERRITORIAL TREASURER
IS IN NEED Of ADVICE
Walstein G. Smith, territorial treas
urer, is one among several who have
felt the need of a territorial attorney
general, or the need of a fund that
could be drawn upon to secure legal
advice.
Since assuming office Treasurer
Smith has been compelled a number
times to seek legal counsel. Since
there are no funds for such an emerg
ency and since there is no attorney
general or other legal representative
provided for among the territorial off!
cers, he was forced to seek the advice
from attorneys who would not charge
for the same. In other words, he has
been compelled to “sponge” the neces
sary legal ndvice for the territory ot
Alnska.
This is a matter that will be called
to the attention of the next legislature.
In fact, a number of measures are
necessary in order to clear up the pres
ent muddled laws and to clearly and
sharply define the duties of territoria'
officials, seperate from federal officials,
and to provide the means to carry on
these different departments.
There are territorial collections of
taxes which are not made at the pres
ent time owing to the ambiguity of the
law. These prospective revenues
would pay the salary of an attorney
general or legal representative several
times over.

The late Edward Clayson.Sr., father
of our townsman. Will Clayson, was
the only veteran on the Pacific
coast who participated In the
Sweaborg bombardment during the
Crimean war. Among Mr. (May
son's cherished possessions was a sil
ver medal conferred upon him by the
late Queen Victoria nt the close of the
Crimean war.
For more than forty-nine years Mr.
Clayson had been a virile figure In
the history of the territory and state
of Washington, and in Oregon before
that time.
September 19, 1912, an unusual dis
tinction was conferred on Mr. Clayson
by the mayor and council of Vancou
ver, B. C., when on the occasion of the
visit to that city of the Duke of Con
naught Mr. Clayson was the only citi
zen in the state of Washington, and
probably in the entire northewst, to
receive an official invitation from these
authorities to participate in the recep
tion to the Duke, held in Stanley park.
The Invitation was given in recogni
tion of hts being the only living vet
ohan of the Crimean war on the Pa
cific coast.
Besides being a wide reader and stu
dent of the classics in literature he
was extremely fond of music, the vio
lin, which he himself played, being
his favorite instrument. No gather
ing of the pioneers of Washington
was considered complete without him.
Mr. Clayson, who took up a perma
nent residence at Seabeck, in the
state of Washington, forty-nine years
gao, had done more to pertuate the
Chinook Jargon than any other Wash
ington pioneer. He repeatedly made
public addresses in that language, and
urged its wider use throughout the
Northwest. "Cumtux,” Chinook for
“do you understand?” was his favor
ite expression.
Mr. Clayson enjoyed vigorous health
until last summer. In September he
suspended the publication of the Pa
triarch in Seattle, on account of ill
ness.
Mr. Clayson engaged in the tea Im
porting business ebfore other per
son, firm or corporation in the North
west thought tea was worth import
ing. He was United States mall
contractor and carrier on Puget
Sound in 1868, using a sloop for this
work, for the era of steamboating on
I uget Sound had not then commenced.
He was the author of a volume en
titled ‘Historical Narratives of Puget
Sound,” also one entitled “The
Muck Hake, ’ which he dedicated to
Col. Theodore Roosevelt.

JUNEAU IS BIGGEST
DONOR TO BELGIANS
Juneau’s contribution of nearly five
thousand dollars to the Belgian relief
fund was the largest contribution
made by any city in Alaska. Fair
banks with $2,500, was second. Seat

but the amount was raised only by
