8 CLUB GOVERNOR PAYS VISIT T0 JUNEAU ROTARY C. A. Mowry Recalls Ju- neau When He Visited Here 20 Years Ago To visit the farthest north Rotary Club in Alaska, District C. A. Mowry, of the Rotary Inter- national, arrived in Juneau this morning from Ketchikan after a yisit of some days at the First City. In the lobby of the Gastineau this morning, Mr. Mowry spoke of the remarkable changes that have taken place in Alaska since the time twenty years ago when he was a resident of Whitehorse. At that time, the present Spokane citizen was interested in mining and made frequent trips to Juneau. “Of course Juneau has grown tre- mendously,” Mr. Mowry said, “why when I used to come in 20 years ago, the A. J. mine was still in its infancy and somewhat of a prob- lem child. However, I fancy it has outgrown that stage no Ketchikan is an extremely hospit- able city and very enthusiastic over Governor | the club official.

Bowen of Juneau” Seekmg 4500 Men for “Treadwell” Evidence indicating the existence in the States of a fraudulent em- ployment agency purporting to sign men for jobs in “the new Treadwell Mine,” was revealed to- day by the Territorial Bureau of Mines which has been receiving letters and telegrams from sus- picious workers enrolling for these jobs. According to the messages, a man giving the name of “B. G.| Bowen of Juneau,” and claiming| the “newly - reorganized Treadwell Mines,” is seeking a large crew of| miners from among the men now working on the Grand Coulee dam in the state of Washington. One of the leters written to the local mining office, apparently by IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMHHII ditions in Alaska, says: “I would greatly appreciate it if you would tell me if all these things are really being done at Treadwell. The pic- ture that is being painted to the citizens of Grand Coulee Center,| concerning the new Treadwell mine, seems almost unbelievable. Can you tell me if the mine is all right, and who is this H. B. Bowen? He claims that the new mine will employ 4500 men this winter.” L. H. Metzger, superintendent of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mine also advised the Mining Bureau that he has been receiving similar inqui- ries, and asked that everything pos- sible be done to check these ac- tivities in the states. “No men are being hired by the Treadwell Mine, and there is no work there,” declared Mr. Metzger in his communication to the Min- ing Bureau. The Alaska Juneau owns the Treadwell property. s % 4 ey WITTS LEAVE JUNEAU; TO TEACH, WESTWARD Mr. and Mrs. G. F.
