• BRADLEY HERE
' AFTER VISIT
TO INTERIOR
Widely-Known Mine Operator
Investigated Mineral Pros
pects of Yukon and In
terior of Alaska
F. W. Bradley, one of the most
prominent mining men of America,
president of the Alaska-Juneau and
the Bunker Hill-Sullivan, and holder
in other big properties, arrived in
Cordova recently and is awaiting a
boat for the south.
P Mr. Bradley, who has been visiting
the various mining centers of British
Columbia, Yukon territory and
^ Alaska, was compelled to cut short
his stay in the Interior owing to the
receipt of disquieting news of labor
troubles in the Coeur d’Alenes, where
1 the great Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine is located, and his desire to be
within reach of telegraphic commu
nication. He states that a general
strike of Coeur d’Alene miners is in
progress, all the mines there being
affected with the single exception of
that under his management, which
has enjoyed a period of industrial
peace for twenty years past, ever
since the great labor troubles of that
section which kept the whole state
of Idaho in a turmoil for so many
years, and which resulted in mur
der, arson and dynamiting, the assas
sination of a governor and the sensa
tional trial of Moyer, Haywood and
Pettibone.
.Mr. Bradley had intended to view
the mining possibilities of the Fair
banks district, as well as those of
the Broad Pass and Willow creek
sections, but the cutting short of his
trip prevented this. However, Mr.
* Wernecke, a mining engineer of great
experience, who has been associated
with Mr. Bradley for many years, is
# making a thorough investigation of
the mining possibilities of those sec
tions, and will make a report of his
work to his superior.
Mr. Bradley leaves for the south
on the Alameda today.
Mr. Bradley was in Dawson a short
time ago, and visited the Mayo silver
properties. He has been scouting
• hniout interior Yukon and Alaska for
good mining properties. Thomas
McDonald of the same company pre
ceded Mr. Bradley to Fairbanks.
Commenting on his visit, the White
horse Star says:
•‘F. W. Bradley, president of the
Treadwell and allied mining com
panies, who has been in the Yukon
territory for the*, last several weeks,
with a party of engineers, looking at
mining prospects, will leave on the
* steamer Selkirk tomorrow night di
* rect for Fairbanks, where he has an
other party in the field. He is look
ing for properties capable of produc
ing concentrates suitable for reduc
tion either at the Treadwell cyanide
plant at Treadwell, Alaska, or at the
Bunker Hill smelter at Kellogg,
Idaho, and consequently has not been
interested in the Whitehorse copper
belt.
. -» , i rr'„ i _ , .
He has mvesLigaieu me uu
Arm, Conrad, Mayo and Wheaton dis
tricts, in each of which he has found
some promising prospects. Any de
velopment work resulting from any
^ working options that may be taken
will be under the local supervision
of W. B. Hargraves, and under the
general direction of the companies
geologist, L. Wernecke.
“It is reported that if options result
from one of the present negotia
tions an option may be taken on the
property of Ernest Johnston, situated
Jw about 37 miles west of Robinson sta
tion, in the Wheaton district. With
the well-known reputation of Mr.
Bradley's companies we are assured
that work on any property they may
become interested in "will be prose
cuted vigorously and we confidently
look forward to the development of
that property into a producing mine
in the near future.
“The advent of the interests which
Mr. Bradley represents into this dis
trict is the most important news
which we have had in many a year,
and is bound to bring about the
awakening of other large concerns to
the wonderful mining possibilities of
this district and of other parts of
the Yukon equally promising.
“Mr. Jones, Alf. Dickson and J.
Geary left today in the interests of
Mr. Bradley to look over a promising
lode prospect on the Boswell river,
a tributary of the Hootalinqua.”

And that funny feeling.

Like a dreamy jag without the

(Only the booze was never made

Yes, sir—that restless feeling.

That itchy, witchy feeling.

AIRPLANE ROUTE
IS PROJECTED FROM
SYDNEY TO LONDON
SYDNEY, Australia, July 9 (Cor
respondence of Associated Press).—
Survey of the route of the first sec
tion of the projected aerial service
between Sydney and London was re
cently completed. The section ex
tends from Sydney to Darwin, which
«
is on the north coast of Australia
and relatively near the Malayan Arch
ipelago. The service will be carried
on by a Sydney company.
From Darwin the route will cross
the sea to the island of Timor, pro
ceed along the Malayan archipelago
to India, and thence run to Bagdad
or Port Said—probably the latter.
From Port Said it will cross Europe
to London. The survey of the second
section of the route, from Darwin
through Malaya to Delhi, is now go
ing on.
It is expected that the first flight
will be made within the next few
months, and it is planned to have
the proposed passenger and commer
cial seiwices in full operation in
about two years. If the company
succeeds London will be reached reg
ularly from here in six and a half
days.
The Sydney-Darwin section is 2,000
miles. But the survey party trav
eled about 4,000 miles in order to
select the most satisfactory landing
places or relay stations.
When the flights are in full swing
business between Sydney and London
will be greatly facilitated from the
fact that letters may be answered
within two weeks of their despatch
from here.

JUAREZ HAS BECOME
RENDEZVOUS FOR THOSE
SPORTIVELY INCLINED
*
-#. —
JUAREZ, Mex., Aug. 23 (by Asso-;
dated Press).—Mexico City news- j
papers are discussing the probability i
of establishing a “dry zone” along
the Mexican side of the Mexican
American border to prevent The Mex
ican towns opposite the American
towns and cities from becoming
drinking places for the Americans. If
this “dry zone” is established it will
reduce the number of visitors to
Juarez daily and will also reduce the
income of the many saloons which
line *Calle Comercio, the principal
business street.
Although Sunday is the favorite
day for visitors, every day is a busy
day in these drinking places. Night
aud day American women may be
seen standing at the bar with the
men or sitting at the serving tables
nearby. The Jockey club, to which
a key must be obtained to gain ad
mittance, has a second floor cafe for
women where they may be served *■
with their escorts.
The gambling house; which runs
apenly with the official sanction of
the Juarez authorities, is also crowd
ed night and day.. Many American
women may be seen playing the
various Mexican gambling games and
sven gathered around the more Amer
ican game of dice which is operated
oy a Mexican.
