Prisoners “Hear” Ghost of Man Hanged in 1898 MINNEAPOLIS, July 27.—The muffled footsteps, groans and the sound of creaking rope that dis- turb the slumber of county jail prisoners these days are just an- other ghost story to police. But several inmates insist they have been hearing things. They say ii’s the ghost of John Moshik returned to haunt the gallows on which he died 36 years ago. The time is always about 4 am. Once they claimed to have heard a rope creak, interrupted by moans. But John, police say, has been dead too long to come back.

Ships Every Item in One Consignment Every sliver of timber, grain of cement, and shingle nail, in fact all the materials which are to go into the construction of the new $12,000 school building at Unal- aska, are aboard the steamer John C. Kirkpatrick, of the Northwest- ern Steamship Lines, which clear- ed Juneau yesterday afternoon. The Warrack Construction Com- pany has the distinction of being the first company to ship an en- tire building from the States to Alaska in one consignment, as they hawe the contract for the erection of the school. Also aboard the ship is A. E. Reed, who will have charge of the job. He has just completed a $50,000 residence contract on Bain- bridge Island, Wash. Mr. Reed is to hire all workmen for the new building at Unalaska. Millwork aboard the ship is stained and painted; windows are ready for installation; every piece of the furnace and air-condition- ing system awaits only assemb- ling. As Mr. Warrack said, the only thing lacking on the Kirkpatrick for a school are the teachers and pupils.

Hand and Mouth Organs Boom in German Trade BERLIN, July 27.—No trade bar- riers or currency troubles seem to harm the humble German mouth organ, which apparently is more popular than ever all over the world. More than 6,000,000 mouth organs were exported in this year's first quarter, an increase of 60 per cent over last year. Canada, Argentina and British South Africa were the chief buyers. Accordions were in even greater demand, the increase in exports for the same quarter being 80 per cent. They went chiefly to the United States and Great Britain.

Its payroll shows a personnel of 746 employees daily. Its annual lo- cal expenditures average slightly below $2,000,000. It has just completed its fortieth year as an operating company.

It is the largest lowgrade mine in the world. Its total production of ore for 40 years is 48,627,978 tons. Of that quantity, 25867420 tons were trammed to the mill and fine-milled and otherwise treated. The value of that output is ap- proximately $36,841,856, gold repre- senting slightly in excess of $25,- 000,000 and the remainder in sil- ver and lead.

There are other operating lode mines in the Juneau district and still others in exploratory and development stages. Two of the best known are on Chichagof Island— Chichagoff Mining Company, Chi- chagof, and Hirst-Chichagof Min- ing Company at Kimshan Bay. The former was one of the richest mines of its kind in the world and for a number of years paid large dividends. Operations were sus- pended for a time but are again under way.
