BIG CROWD COMING

cally all the men along the railroad

Jacobs yesterday from Ruby, where
a short term of court was held. The

when it will be disposed of at the

Other matters which came before

note, the granting of final papers
to four applicants for citizenship
and the entry of declarations of
three other residents of that dis
trict.
Judge Clegg will make a trip to
the upper Yukon during the latter
part of July, for the purpose of in
vestigating conditions in the various
districts and getting acquainted with
the different commssioners. It is pos
sible the judge will be accompanied ^
by Clerk of the Court Taylor. .
TREADWELLS WILL SPEND
BIG SUM ON KENO HILL
Extention of development work
on its Mayo silver lead properties
will be undertaken at once by the
Treadwell Yukon Company, accord
ing to a statement made at Juneau
recently by P. R. Bradley, who re
presents the Treadwell interests in
the North. The new work will con
sist largely of driving a 3,000-foot
tunnel into Keno Hill to serve the
claims on the rich lode on the Mc
Question or western slope of the
bill.
The tunnel is expected to lap the
rein at the 300-foot level and will
be used for both drainage and the
removal of ore. Work has already
-tarted on the tunnel. It is said
that the work will be one of the
most expensive undertkings in min
ng so far attempted in the Yukon,
and means the expenditure of thou
sands of dollars, the tunnel lying
ihrough hard rock most of the dis
:ance.
The slope of the hill on which
:he present workings are located
irains considerable water, and last
'all the Treadwell works had to be
hut down below the 120-foot level
>n account of water. Work on the
fukon Gold Company property, on
he same lode, was also suspended
or a time last year because of an
•xcess of water.
The Treadwell tunnel will drain
>ff this water. It will also be use
til in prospecting as well as for re
noving ore from the lode now be
ng explored.
Mr. Bradley said that a barge
vith 340 tons of Mayo ore sank re
ently off Porcupine Point in Ste
vart. It was fully insured. The ship
nent, however, is not lost, as its
eeovery will be effected at low wa
er, but it will probably delay its
orwarding to the smelter until next
eason.
Mr. Bradey expects to visit the
4ayo properties during July.
