GOOD
 AT NEW STRIKE
 SAYS INSPECTOR

After a trip of two weeks dura- tion during which he visited thirty canneries an dcamps, B. D. Stewart, Territorial Mine Inspector and La bor Commissioner, has returned here filled with enthusiasm over the re- zion embracing that part of South eastern Alaska between Juneau and Sitka and in particular Chichagof Island.
 MT Stewart examined several new strikes on Chichagof Island includ- ing the Apex, the Apex Extension and the Rainbow MT. Stewart was enthusiastic over these prospects and pronounced them very interest ing. He is certain that much min ing will be done on Chichagof ls' land.
 Anyone that is foot-loose and cares for prospecting should head for Chichagof Island and vicinity, said MT. Stewart today. "I have never seen country that impressed me so favorably as place to pros pect. The gold is in the quartz and the formation is right and the whole district is a most interesting one" 1iAK
 Tunnel Work Started
 MT. Stewart said that the Chlcha-. gof people with an option on the Apex group have erected a cabin on the beach and have established their mining camp about two miles from the beach on Lizianski Penin- sula, three hundred feet below the portal of what will be their devel- opment tunnel MT. Stewart found that the ledge on the surface on this claim was about twenty inches wide. Samples brought in by him show plenty of free gold. Tunnel work has just started
 The new Cam strike made within a gun shot of where the Chichagof people are working is a wonderful one also, according to Mir. Stewart. The ledge here is four feet wide on the surface and the free gold is very evident.
 The Johnson-D Davis property, the latest Chichagof Island strike, was 
 not examined by MT. Stewart, as the owners were no there.
 Canneries Visited
 In his dual capacity of labor ag- ent and Mine Inspector MT. Stewart visited all the canneries and min ing camps. He found at the can neries that the salmon run was a distinct failure with but few ex captions.
 He examined the Chichagof mine, the Hirst-Chichagof, the Falcon Arm mine, the Gymsum mine and the Silver Bay mine. He visited all prospects that he was able to reach. At the Falcon Arm mine he was struck with the fine mining work being done in the tunnel, which is 7x7 in the clear and nice ly timbered.
 Mr Stewart plans on leaving next Sunday for his tour of inspection of most of the mines and prospects of the interior of Alaska. He will be gone until late in the fall.

ALEUT|AN ISLANDS SALMON RUN
 OvERWHELMS WESTERN CANNERIES
 REPORTS FISHERY BUREAU CHIEF

'sIt was indeed gratifying to wit ness the great run of red solmon on in the Aleutian Island district while I was there," said Ward T. Bower, Chief Agent of the Alaska Service of the United States Blu reau of Fisheries today. MT. Bow CT arrived here Monday after an inspection trip to Western Alaska
 with the failures of runs in other sections of the Territory this run was welcome change. Sev- eral of the canneries were forced to close down in the middle of the run for period of several days on account of a shortage of tin, he continued But the pack at the plants will still be large"
 Mr Bower, who left his head quarters in Washington in June, made a trip to Unalaska, Kings Cove, Ikatan and Squaw Harbor, besides two principal stops at the Seal Islands, St. Paul and St. George.
 Seals Increasing
 The Bureau of Fisheries has su- pervision of the Seal Islands and according to MT Bower will kill 25,000 fur seal this year. This is a thousand more than last. A cen sus of the seal herds on the islands has placed the number of seals at 600,000 ,an increase of ten per cent over last year. This increase has been going on ever since the herds have been under the Bureau. It is planned to increase the number of animals to be killed each year to a number that will still allow for an increase in the seal population each year.
 The by-product plant established a short time ago by the Bureau on St. Paul Island is now operating. It makes up into by-products the carcasses of the seals that are slaughtered. Some of the carcasses are, however, fed to the foxes on the island, the government being also in the fox raising business.
 Formerly Agent Here
 Mr Bower will remain here for several days He at one time was agent for the Southeastern Alaska section before he received promo tion to his present position. His last trip to Juneau was three years ago and since that time he says he can see a steady growth of the city.
 MT. Bower announced today that the headquarters of the Bureau of Fisheries for this section have now been established in Room 40 Cold stein Building, with Mr. E. M. Ball in charge.

in Ohio and West Virginia. He To. cated at Maryetta, Ohio, the oldest city in the Buckeye State, and in the course of years became very wealthy. He was elected to Con- gress three times from the 18th. Ohio district as a Democrat.
 Mr. White is a very close per sonal friend of Gov. James M. Cox, Democratic Presidential nominee, and was first assistant to Judge k. H. Moore in the management of the campaign for the nomination of Gov. Cox.
 MT. White has retained his inter- est in Alaska and the North coun- try, and is never happier than when he can swap yarns with those who participated in the great klon- dike stampede of 1S97-'9S. For many years he has planned a sum- mer's trip to Alaska and Yukon Territory, and assured friends that he had delayed making the trip only at the solicitation of his friend, Gov. Cox, who often during the last few years has asked him to postpone the trip until they could make it together.
 Speaking to an Alaska delegate to the Democratic convention just before MT White left for the East. he said: Next year or the follow ;,r I will call on you at your office in Juneau. You may depend upon this for we are surely going.'

properties. They are not used for guarding the mines."
 The question of wages hinges on the scale paid in the Kanawha field. The union leaders declare that the adoption of this scale would increase the earnings of the miners in Mingo, while the operators insist that their miners, under the scale now in force, are being paid more than it is possi- ble for the Kanawha miners to earn. However, little attention is being paid to that phase of the contro- versy. Recognition of the union is the big issue.

Admiral Says Navy Witnesses Re-
veal Greater Distress Than He
Imagined Could Exist.

Washington, May 27.-Rear Ad-
miral Sims. appearing before the
senate naval investigating commit
tee today in rebuttal testimony, de-
clared that "the navy departments
witnesses" had revealed a condition
in the navy "even more distressing
than l could have imagined and
constitutes a much more severe
criticism of the deplorable condi-
tions referred to than l myself
have submitted"
"POints" Survive.
"A very careful review of the
evidence" said the admiral, shows
that in no single instance were the
l3 points raised by me in criticism,
disproved. Most of them were
freely admitted. The testimony of
the departments witnesses seemed
to be designed, not to disprove, but
to explain them away or to OBJ
scure them"
Admiral Sims read from a long
prepared statement quoting from
the testimony of Admiral Benson
and Rear Admirals Badger, Nc
kean, Fletcher, and Niblack and
Captain Pratt. They, he said. at
tributed the conditions to the faulty
organization of the navy depart
ment and favored reorganization.
