he is still unable to explain why the records bear out the story. However, Wagner failed to tell how he got so large an amount of gold out from that isolated country without em- ploying help of some kind.
 Many other parties, both in Alaska and from the Outside, have been or ganized to look for this lost treasure, one of the most noted of which was promoted by s. J. Marsh, commis- sioner in Chandlar. who spent sever al years on the Arctic slope. Finally he went to New York where he interested capital. His most enthus. iastic supporter was eX-Governor Sulzer. of New York He spent some time chasing the rainbow, but finally became interested in quartz in the Chandlar and his company has since developed into a substantial concern with large interests in that section.

|Rhoads Places Faith in Quartz Outlook
 'Djscoverer of Rich Lead Gives His Views

[ He sunk a hole in the prospect. and 1t kept up it's good showing. By that time he was without funds, and he sacked up some of his ore and shipped it by team to a little stamp mill operating in Fairbanks, and with the money thus obtained he was en- abled to continue work. By shipping out his ore and by working hard. in time he was enabled to put up a mill
 His brotherin-law. w. C. Hall, be- came his partner, and together they have operated the mill at the mine for three years without once being required to shut it down, except for short repair work.
 The mill at the mine is five stamp affair, which has capacity of 20 tons a day. but MT. Rhoads prefers not to crowd it, and thus it's daily average is about Is tons a day Up to the present time the mine has paid all its own expenses and has given good revenue to it's owners.
 Does it look as though you will be forced to close down." Mr Rhoads was asked
 There is no indication that we will run out of good ore,' declared MT. Rhoads, but. of course, if I find at any time that We are not making good revenue, We will close down until operating expenses are lower ed. There would be no use in our operating the mine if at any time it is found that all the money goes to pay expenses. It is more profit able to close down under such cir cumstances and realize the profits later from the ore when operating expenses are lower"
 There seems to be a growing con viction among many miners in the district that the small veins of rich ore that have been found, will de- velop in many cases into large perm anent lodges if they are followed deep into the ground But it takes capital to accomplish this, and un til the railroad is built and the price of coal and supplies is lessened, it is not believed that capital neces corv for n,uch davalonnaDt work will come here.

BANKING LAW IS
 DECLARED VALID

Alaska's new banking law. adopt ed by the legislature, has received the approval of the attorney-general of the United States, who declares that the new law is valid.
 As the new law requires officials who are paid by the general govern ment to act as banking board, 1t was feared that the law would be declared invalid Charles E. David son. surveyor-general and ex-officio secretary of the territory was named by the legislature as a member of the banking board. In reply to an inquiry from him, the attorney-gen- eral submitted the following opinion:
 Tt is clear to my mind that the legislature has no power to deprive the governor. secretary and treasur- CT of authority conferred upon them by federal statute or to interfere with the performance of their duties hereunder 1 think, however, that the legislature may confer upon them authority and the performance of duties which will not interfere with their duties as federal officers. par ticularly where the performance of the duties so conferred are in line with their general duties as federal officers, unless this goes to the ex- tent of attempting to invest them with an office, the holding of which would be inhibited by section II.
 AS already intimated, it is my opinion that the performance of du- ties as member of the territorial banking board do not constitute the holding of an office within the mean ing of said section II, will not be inconsistent with the performance of their duties as governor, secretary or treasurer, and that in consequence they are not inhibited from acting as members of the board by the terms Ol Sdlu StCllOu II oI llC VI ganic act.
 T agree, however, with the view of the comptroller that the United States cannot be called upon to bear any expenses incurred by the terri tory in the enforcement or admin istration of the territorial act creat- ing the board and regulating the business of banking in the territory of Alaska, but that any expenses so tory directly or through fees collect ed under and in pursuance of the Territorial law"

Hamshaw Bonds
 The James Claim

Frank Manley, the lditarod and Fairbanks millionaire mining man, has turned down his options on the James claims in the Chisana dis trict, says a recent issue of a Seat tie paper. Manley and his associates had the right to purchase the pro- perty staked by the discoverer of the Chisana for s5OOOO0. The bond has been taken up by L. F. Ham shaw, according to letter to Charles Berryman, who has interests in the Chisana country, from Jack Hos field, who is now on the ground. Hosfeld is hopeful that consider able pay will be found in the Chisana country, paystreaks having been un- covered on Bonanza, Glacier and Johnson creeks, with some good pros poets on the benches and small tri- butaries. Because of a lack of pro- visions and mining equipment only small amount of prospecting was done through the winter, but twelve steam drawers are now in operation, and a number of claims will be test ed out before the spring thaw. Chisana is populated by about 700 men, thirty women and three child ren, who are housed in approximate ly 400 log cabins. "The weather" writes Hosfeld, has been mild all winter, the coldest being forty de- grees below zero"
 With the exception of two ice chasms on the Scolai glacier, both of which have been bridged with snow, the trail from Mccarthy to the fields is in splendid condition for travelling. Hosfeld made the trip of ninety miles between the two points in eighteen hours. If these bridges are kept up. Hosfeld says. the trail can be used all summer

Rich Businessmen

Concerning the trip of the Seattle businessmen to Alaska, from which they have just returned, a newspa- per of that city had the following to say:
 Representing total capital of more than $1,OOO,O 100000, the strong est aggregation of business and fin ancial men that ever left Seattle will sail for Alaska on the steamship Admiral Sampson of the Admiral Line, on May 15. The invitation list, which includes approximately 100, is made up of railroad and steamship presidents, the head of ficers of big banking institutions, manufacturing concerns and other business enterprises. The members of the party are personal friends of H. F. Alexander, president of the Pacific Navigation company, operat- ing the Admiral Line, whose guests they " III Ut Ol lllc lIip
 While the journey is primarily in the nature of an excursion it is hop ed that it will result in giving the guests a better idea of the marvel ous scenery and of the magnitude of the resources of the country which they will visit, and at the same time bring about a feeling of closer relationship between the bust ness people of Seattle and Tacoma and the residents of Alaska.
 "All of the principal towns and cit ies in Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska will be visited, the itinerary including Ketchikan, Petersburg, Jun eau, Douglas, Yakutat, Katalla, Cor dova, Ellamar, Fort Liscum, Valdez, Latouche, Seldovia, Fort Graham, Kenai, Knik, Illiamna and Kodiak. On the return journey a stop prob ably will be made at Gypsum, near Sitka, on Baranoff island, from whence comes large portion of the plaster of paris used in the United States so that the guests may view the great glaciers, with their beau tifully-colored spires and minarets. A side trip will be made to Mile 4e on the Copper River and Northwest ern Railroad, point where Miles and Childs glaciers are within a few minutes walk of the railroad tracks.
 "Alaska is the coming country, said President Alexander, and al though we are so close to it, many of our people are not as familiar with it's conditions as they should be. I could think of no better way of bringing about clearer under standing and a still more friendly feeling between the people of the North and those of the Pacific coast cities than to plan this trip

Crossley Gives a
 Boost to F Fairbanks

District Attorney Crossley, who is now on the Outside, gave Fairbanks a boost when he arrived in Seattle, in an interview published in news paper of that city, as follows:
 Internal agricultural development of Alaska on scale not generally believed to be possible is the con summation which will follow inevit- ably the building of government railroad in Alaska, in the opinion of James J. Crossley, United States district attorney of Fairbanks. Cross ley is in Seattle on his way to San Francisco, where he will appear for the government in cases before the circuit court of appeals.
 "Crossley declares that notice able increase in real estate activities is already manifested in the vicinity of Fairbanks since the passage of the Alaska railroad bill. Homesteads, he says, are being taken up in the Panama valley, settlers are coming in and people already in the territory are turning their attention to agri- culture as never before.
 "'The Panama valley undoubtedly will be one of the first sections of the interior to be developed agri- culturally,' said MT. Crossley. Its climate and soil are perhaps the best adapted in Alaska for farming pur- poses and l look for extensive agri- cultural developments in that region. The railroad is the one thing that has been lacking and with this need supplied successful farming in the valley will be possible
 MT. Crossley is confident that Fairbanks will be the terminal of the railroad. although this has not been

Quartz mining possibilities of the Fairbanks district have sincere champion in l.. B. Rhoads. discover CT of the Rhoads- Hall quartz mine, which has proved to be the most successful of the mines of its kind found in Interior Alaska. Mr. Rhoads is a practical quartz miner, whose long experience has made him conservative. and his success in that line here has caused people gener- ally to put much reliance in what he has to say on the subject.
 "I believe" said MT. Rhoads re- gently when interviewed at his mine, that this will become a great quartz mining district I have absolute faith in the prospects of quartz min ing here, but we must have rail roads for quick transportation to h. sure their successful operation.
 Under the present conditions, prospecting in this district is handi- capped by the high cost of fuel and by the inability of operators to get supplies and repairs to machinery quickly When the new railroad is opened and the Alaska coal mines are developed, then these difficult ties will be overcome, and many a promising prospect that is lying dor mant now will be developed.'
 MT. Rhoads has had his successes and failures in mining, and just before he discovered his present property, he had lost much in a placer mining venture. But he was more of a quartz miner than placer miner. and he started out with the intention of determining if there was anything worth while in the latter to be discovered here.
 This was five years ago, and his prospecting for quartz took some lit tie time and careful study of condi- tions. At last he discovered some promising float, which he traced up the hill. He discovered later that in attempting to locate the ledge, he was going parallel with the ledge, digging down to the solid formation on one side of it, and then digging on the other. But near the top of the ridge, he found the ledge, which proved to be valuable.
