This initial talk between the two
leaders, the preliminary nature of
which was emphasized by both sides,
had at least one earmark common to
momentous gatherings of statesmen

From both sides. however, it is
cleaned that the long conversation
was marked by the utmost cordiality,
not in the least marred by the can

were presented and left the partici-

their colleagues that there were sub

Because of Mr. De Nalera's ac-

Fissures Quartz Loaded with Gold
Uncovered at Anchorage - Pros
pectors Stampede into Area

Anchorage. Alaska, July II
Strikes of gold quartz apparently
bearing more than 100 to the tow in
district 30 miles south of here,
werer eported here today Pros
pectors stampeded to the area of the
discovery.
Men returning from there said a
dozen big assures of quartz heavy in
gold had been uncovered within a
region II by seven miles. The first
strike was at GirdWood on the gov
eminent railroad. According to word
received here the original find was
followed by numerous others of equal
Importance. The quartz is described
to have been found largely in por-

Mining men here who have made
a preliminary investigation of the dis

Dispute Over Rights to Beach

No small amount of interest is be-
ing taken in controversy at Lake
Messalonskee as to the right of nu-
merous cottagcrs on the west shore
of the lake to use the swimming
beach which lies about three and a
half miles from Oakland on that
shore. The place is known popularity
as The Bar" and in times past was
used by all as congregating place
for swimming, as the water is shall
low there and there is a good sandy
beach. The man who leases the land
is entitled by the terms of his lease
to the land as far as the low water
mark" The question under discus
sion seems to be as to the location of
this mark. Meanwhile, bathers are
using the beach. counter to the wish
es OF the owner, and he is having
trouble with them. The place is
crowded daily. and the swimmers
make good deal of noise. But it is
the only good place for swimming
along that part of the lake shore.
