SPIEL RIVER IS
 AFTER ORE FOR
 MANUFA FACTJRING

The Speel River Project which was recently organized under tho laws of California and which are to shortly in- stall a 10000 unit of their proposed 100000 horse power electric plant at speel river, are desirious of securing certain ores for manufacturing purpos- es. w. P. Lass. treasurer of the com pany stated today.
 Among those especially desired by the company is bauxite, the ore from which most of our aluminium is now ob- tained. and which. when pure con. tains @ per cent of aluminium. It is a clay-like, whitish concretionary looking rock. much resembling some of our lighter porous lava rocks.
 Although this ore is found in our South Atlantic states. the New York Engineering < Mining Journal says the Southern Aluminium company is now spending over S1O.OoO,OoO in the construction of power plant and el- ectric furnaces for the treatment of bauxite obtained from France.
 It is believed by Mir. Lass that baux- ite ore may be found in this region, and will gladly inform prospectors of its nature and make analysis of sam ples
 Another of the minerals being inc vestigated by the Speel River Project is that Of our iron ores.

OF SEWARD TOWNSHIP GOES
 BACK TO U. s


 The register and receiver of the To-
 cal land office yesterday rendered a
 decision in favor of the government
 with recommendation that Ravelle
 be given an equitable relief, in the
 case of the United States vs. Harry D.
 Rayelle. involving homestead rights
 for 320 acres of land adjoining the
 townsite Of Seward
 The government charged that Re- velle failed to reside on his homestead as required by law: that he acted in bad faith and mlawfully in that he entered into an agreement or under standing. prior to the final entry of his homestead. with A. c. Frost one time president of the Alaska Northern railroad. or with w. P Poland. its
 chief engineer whereby Ravelle, ai- ter patent was to convey portion of his homestead to Frost or Poland or other persons unkonwn.
 The government, through its field agents. appear before the register and receiver and prosecuted the charge. and Raveile. denying the charges. sub. mitted testimony in his defense at Seward. Alaska.
 The local officers find that the goy- ernment failed to sustain this charge that Ravere dii not reside on his homestead. but they 6nd tha; Ravel ie. acting though unlawfully in entire good faith. entered into an agreement as charged.
 in view of Rayelle's good faith as found and the absence. in the opinion of the local officers. Of any enort at concealment by Ravelle in srbmit- ting his proof and in view of the further fact that he was assisted by the officers. agents Of and attorney for the railroad company or A. c. Frost. in seeking to acquire title to his home stead after he had located it. the To- cal officers recommended that Ravelle be permitted to acquire title to the 30 acres Of homestead upon which his are located This SS acres Ravelle did not intend to sell Co the company. but proposed Go retain this area as 8 home for himself and family
 Rayelie's homestead location was made in 1908. and with -the building of the Alaska Central railway be- came valuable to the company for ter m.nai sites and for other purposes. And because of its location in the vie cinity of Seward it has become valu. able as townsite property
 The recommendations Of the local officers invokes the power of the De parmcnt to grant equitable relief in cases meriting the same. and the de- cision states:
 "If the facts support such recon- mendatlon. and it is not made by the local officers. the error of omission is magnined by the fact that the 12 years of Rayelle's e0ort to comply with the homestead laws bring him only a loss of property now when the develop ment Of the Territory and the increase of values permit the claimant and his family merely to lose a competence. !"
