The ¢ roversy over labor conditions In the great Treadwell mine on Douglas Is | 1and, Alaska, has aroused so much interest ilhnl the National Bureau of Labor is pre- paring to issue a bulletin on the subject | Many labor authorities declare this mine to be one of the most dangerous.in ex- istence, /while the owners reply that no- where glse are men better /cared for. The Treadwell s one of the largest gold mines in the world, and has contributed much to the fame of Alaska. For many years this wonderful mine has pald its owners a Profit of nearly $6,000 a day, and there is enough ore left to keep the monster plant working day and night for probably twenty years to come. The man who discovered this extraordi- nary mineral deposit did not realize its valus and =old it for M3, Almost every | school boy has heard about the ‘‘glory hole” of the Treadwell, but few of them | know how it came to havA that name. French Pete was the discoverer of the mine which has already produced $35,000,000 worth of gold. He has & small merchant in Juneau who had.a hard time to make both ends meet. In the fall of 1881 he re- celved a shipment of goods to replenish his stock for the winter. The frolght charges | amounted to $(35, and Pete did not have this much money. A prospector by the name of Treadwell was panning along the beach and Pete offered him the claim on Douglas Island If he would redeem the goods. Treadwell pald the freight and the mine has been called by his name ever since. The property which changed hands by this deal contained one of the largest bodies of gold-bearing rock In the world. The ore is located favorably at the water's edge where steamers can tie up alongside the mills. Several city blocks could be dumped nto the “glory hole.”” It is & mon- ster pit where the ore has been lifted out in chunks Ifke bullding rock is taken from & quarry. Men working in the bottom of it look llke crawling flies. The thunder of the blasts, the clouds of smoke and the hollow voices of the men combine to make an effect so uncanny that it would not seem at all surprising It His Satanio Majesty should bound out of the rock at | one side or come soaring up through the smoke from the depths. Douglas Island Is twenty miles long and elght miles wide. Although the Treadwell Is best known on account of the “glory hole,” the fact is that there are over sixty miles of tunnels underground. One of these extends out. under the sea for nearly a quarter of a mile. On the surface there are six miles of track, which runs inside the bufldings, to and from the different struc- tures and along the piers. Numerous sh and pull long strings | of little cars and make more fuss about it than as many moguls. The Treadwell runs twenty-four hours every day In the year, except the Fourth of July and Christmas. It takes 200 tons of coal every day to keep the many wheels moving, and the roar of its machinery may be heard a mile away. There are 80 mas- sive crushers, called stamps, each consist- Ing of five heavy upright bars of steel that are litted up to fall with terrific force on flat, hard plates. The rock passes under these pounding bars and Is smashed into dust. These nolsy, powerful machines con- sume_about 4500 tons of rock daily. In order to keep the ora rolling into their in- satiable mouths, $1,400 worth of powder is usell it blasting every day.' The amount of gold realized from every twenty-four-hour run‘ 1§ about $10,0007 and the expense of op- erating is about $4,00. The ore is low grade {|~~the lowest in the world to pay such prof- {its. It averages only $2.66 per ton, but there is 8o much of it, and it 1s handled In such a wholesale and economlcal manner, that it runs fast into money. On account of the Treadwell being so re- mote from clvilization, it is necessary to maintain a most complete plant. There is |a fully equipped foundry where any piece of broken machinery can be replaced im- mediately. A fine assay officc makes It the the superintendent can talk to only 2 per centof his men. To the remainder he has to make signs or depend upon Inter- preters, which always unsatistactory. Few of the men are married. They get from $2 to $3.60 per day and thetr board and lodging. Many of them come direct from Europe to enter the employ of the Sompany, and most of them save the greater part of thalr wages. They out their own hair, do thelr own washing, and, In fact, get along as cheaply as Europeans can. Thelr only regular penditure seems to be the purchase of clgarettes, of which they are excessive smokers. Many of the mén léave thelr money with the company, the books at one time showing that over $300,000 In wages was uncalled for. The company pays no interest on this money, but agrees to pay any or all of it on demand. The largest sum due any-one man was $5000. He did not draw a cent for a year and a half after he went to work. Slavs and Scandinavians predominate among the nationalities employed In the mine. About the only expression in Eng- lish that they can ever master is ‘“all right,” and they work it overtime. No matter whether one of them is called a ltar or told that dinner is ready, he invarlably answers “all right” Their inabiity to understand what is said to them often causes trouble. Ono day a new boss was superintending a big blast and as a couple of workmen approached he shouted: “Don't €0 that way or you'll get your heads blown off.” One of them answered: “All right," and the boss, supposing from thelr answer that they understood English, made a break for cover. They had not understood him at all and walked right Into the blast, receiving the ful! force of it. There wasn't enough left of them to hold an inquest over, Working with powder Is always a dan. gerous job and it is particularly so for those ignorant forelgners. The principal blasts are made at noon and at 6 o'clock. An elevator goes down the shaft to the level where everything is ready but the lighting of the fuse, and as soon as this is touched off there 1s a quick flight up- ward to safety. Sometimes the men com- plete thelr work before the elevator ls due, and, In order (o gat to the surface £nd loaf awhile before the whistle blows, they light their fuses and climb the ladders that lead from one level to another. One day three men touched off the fuses and ran for the ladders. Two of them mounted cafely, but the third one missed his first ttep and became so confused that he could not make his feet stick to the rounds ot the ladder.) The blast went off with a resounding report and about all there was left of the poor devil were the buttans from his breeches and the buckles from 11s suspenders Probubly the most remarkable accident that ever happened at the Treadwell was when a Swede fell down a shaft 2 fest Into ten feet of water without being killed. Whenever this story is told the hearer is paturally skeptical, but remarkable as it was, he actually fell that distance and lived to resume work In the inine. When he fell he had on a slicked coat and a palr of gum boots. Both his boots came off, one of' them belng found at the 110-foot level and the other at the 20-foot level. He malntained an Upright position during the whole of his awfyl fall and struck the water feet first.

An examination re- vealed the fact that net.a bone twas broken by the terrible plurge.

BOND ISSUE STILL UNDECIDED Proposition for $750,000 for arg- ing School Faellities is Held in Committee. School board officials say there is no truth in the story printed In the julor yellow Saturday evening to the effeot that a committee of the school board had de- clded the question of asking for an issue of §760,00 bonds. It 1s admitted that there was some desultory disoussion of the bond proposal, as heretofore outlined, but no action what- ever was decided on. The board feels, ac- cording to one of fts members, that the {ssuing of #760,000 of school bonds {5 to wolghty & matter to be decided without a great deal of careful consideration, and it is the intention of the board to take plenty of time in consulting among themselves and with citizens generally, to the end that e wha they do they will be reasonably Jeertais to have the public with them. gvmnasium with baths, besides a reading room containing literature in all the languages spoken in the camp. It is impossible to even estimate the quantity of gold that is locked up behind the rocky v\all' of Alaska's mountains. Some say it i4 more than equal to richies all the mines in the world have yet produced. The country that Uncle Sam bought from Russia for less than 2 cents an acre has proved to be the greatest bar- gain ever made in real estate. When Treadwell pald the frelght on French Pote's gouds, and took over the claim that proved to be the “glory hole” of mining _bistory, he paved the way for operations that will go on for years and years, adding all the while to the hords of wealth the world is storing in its treasure vaults.
