AND DISTRICT.
Another brick of gold representing several thous
and dollars after a 14-day run of a small Denver mill
is one more surprise from Surprise Bay in the Nuka
Bay region where the Downey and Babcock mine is
still pouring out its wealth. A shipment of seven tons
of picked highgrade ore and concentrates running sev
eral hundreds of dollars a ton is in Seward on its way
on the SS Alameda Saturday to the Tacoma smelter.
A mining engineer representing the Alaska-Ju
neau Mining Compay is now reporting to his superiors
.after a thorough inspection of the new property as
# well as that of Pete Sather, Charles Goyan and the
prospect of Fred Johnston and Mike Deegan. Upon
his report depends a possible decision on the part of
the Alaska-Juneau company to invade this district.

• There is a hu moron de to the
Government's clecisio: 10 put off

.voiding the nomine, on of sena
tors at a date other than Decem

Spain.
The opposition had been making
sarcastic allusions to the signific

A much more serious reason is
behind the postponement, as a
matter of fact, neither King Al
fonso or the people want the el
ections held. The King naturally
fears a republican onslaught
against the Crown which an elec
toral campaign entails, while the
^ majority of the people surmise the
result will be doctored in order to

OH DECEASED SPOUSE
IN SPITE OF HUSBAND
« HONOLULU, Oct. 24. (/Pi —Col
onel Granville Severs of the United
States Army, lost a long court
battle to prevent a second autopsy
on the body of his wife whojse
brother Ralph Shainwald asserted
may have died of poisoning
Circuity Court Judge Steadman
denied Severs’ petition for an in
junction restraining Coroner Pat
rick Gleason from holding the
autopsy as ordered last February.
Hearing on the petition was con
cluded last week. There was no
% announcement when the autopsy
would be performed.
V
Such is the news brought m
from the new mining camp by
Downey & Babcock who arrived
Thursday night in one of the
boats of the Nuka Bay Trans
portation company, Capt. Pete
Sather, along with the mine
crew that has been breaking
down the ore and running the
mill at the mine. There is a
temporary shutdown in milling
while arrangements are being
made for new mill equipment.
Among those who arrived
were Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Dow
ney, 11 year-old Wayne Fox, the
grandson; Tom Babcock, Antone
Jensen, foreman; Mike Nestor.
Charles Janes, John Eldrickson
and Clyde Burkett. The partners
plan to return to the mine in
r b ut a week. They hope to se
cure a crusher locally that will
keep the present mill running
until such time as they can pro
cure another mill. Since they
have plenty of ore knocked down
to keep the mill running for
some time, the mine crew will
not return at this time, but Mr.
Jensen will go back to help in
the construction of ore bins
and a tramway.
At 200 feet depth on the vein
the fissure is holding up wider
and richer than ever, it is said,
with all doubt finally dissipated
i in the minds of the partners
that their lode might not go
down. It has been demonstrated
sufficiently on the strike to in
| dicate a splendid mineral de
posit of great enough magnitude
to make a great mine. The “jew
elry” rock or “picture” rock is
still encountered in all its glory
which brings the entire vein up
to surprising values.
The partners are hopeful ot
an encouraging report from En
gineer Nelson of the Alaska Ju
neau company who sampled the
mine thoroughly and impartial
ly. Altho he of course, made nc
statement regarding his opinion
he seemed favorably Impressed
with the district. Should the
Alaska Juneau decide to buy in
on the Nuka Bay properties, it
will unquestionably be the mak
ing of the district and the de
velopment of a big new camp
in Alaska.
At the mine, the partners have
had continual difficulty in the
operation of their mill by reason
of an inadequate crusher that
came as a unit when the present
