It has been worked for a great many years and has produced millions of dol lars in gold. The ore is of a low grade running about 2.50 a ton, but, it is said, it costs about 11.35 only to mill it. As they handle about 25,000 tons a day it will be seen that here is some money in it. The tunnels and stopes now be ing worked are down nearly 2000 feet, and some of them run out under ths channel nearly half a mile. One of the questions confronting the owners 'is the disposal of the tailings the earth left after the gold is ex tracted. This is becoming an aggra vated problem, for if thrown into the waters the channel would soon be filled up, and Uncle Sam would not permit that They are restoring a good deal of the so-called tailings to the worked out tunnels, but this system, it seems, cannot be applied to the full amount produced. The Treadwell Company has three mines, adjoining each other, and em ploys something like 1800 men. This number and their families has. built up the town of Treadwell to something like the same number. The overflow built the adjoining town of Douglas. Landing at Juneau, opposite Douglas we stepped upon the mainland for the first time since leaving Astoria, all of the other places visited being on is lands, from Nanaimo north. It being Sunday when we arrived, we had to do some hustling to gather what infor mation we needed. We were ' success ful in getting in touch quickly -with the president and also the secretary of the Juneau Commercial Club. John Rick and Isaac Sowerby, also with Mr. Rus sell, of the Juneau Daily Dispatch, and other leading citizens. As soon as any body found we were from Portland we met with a warm reception and soon felt quite at home. Congressmen Travel 30OO Miles.

Mining; Increases Population. In the first place the mining as car ried on at the Treadwell employs a large number of men. This has already fnvl Population of from 9000 to 10.000 m Juneau, Douglas and Tread well. Now mines of about the same character as the Treadwell are being opened on the Juneau side. While the ore is not quite as rich as the Tread well ore the methods of treatment will be much less expensive than at the Treadwell. In the first place it lies on higher levels and much of the work of treaUng will be done by gravity the old methods can be Improved upon by different and better machinery Two of these great mines are now being opened.
