ALLIED FINANCE NglNlorGRo ole-
rRlDurg FIRST GERMAN
PREPARATION PAYMENT
AMERICAN CLAIM RECOeNQEO
Debt Commission Leaves Question %
exponee Of American Occupation
on The Rhine Up 70 Powers
60 settle

Paris.-The allied finance ministers,
signed an agreement this afternoon for
the distribution Of the first 10000
100000 gold marks Of German rep
arations. The agreement disregards
the American claim of priority for It's
expenses In connection with occupa-
ton Of the Rhine, and SO far as the
actual sharing of this money is con-
cerned, but recognizes the claim by a
special clause, which states that all
the agreements on this question are
subject to the American rights a. the
various governments may establish
them, the finance ministers considering
that they do not have power to decide
this question.
The ministers decided, after long
discussion that the question was not
for the reparations commission to de-
eide, because that body was acting
solely under the provisions Of the
treaty Of Versailles, to which the
United States no longer was party.
Consequently It was decided that the
question was one for the various gov
ernments concerned to settle.
The finance ministers also concluded
that It was impossible for them in any
case to reopen the long and difficult
deliberations which resulted in the
persent agreements 80 they could only
reserve the American right and leave
the question for diplomacy to settle.
The agreement provides that the ex-
penses Of the armies Of occupation
after May 1, 1921. shall be divided as
follows: One hundred and two million
Belgian france to Belgium: 2.OO0,O0O
pounds to England and 100000 francs
to France. The distribution Of deliv-
cries in kind by Germany in 1922 will
be on the basis of IS per cent to France
and IS per cent to the other allies.

SHEEN AND DELONG STRIKE

DeLong have been pros pecting in the Talusitna district since March and were fortunate in discov- ering valuable pay dirt. The gravel shows values from the grass root and the discovery was made in the old river channel. The boys staked eleven association claims. MT. Skeen, who is one of the most reliable min CTS and prospectors in Alaska, reports the values justify the installation of hydraulic plant and that there is sufficient pay gravel to insure opera tion for at least twenty years. + is their intention to raise sufficient capi- tai to install hydraulic plant as soon as possible.-Anchorag Times.

DISCOVERY OF LEAD SILVER
 ORE NEAR WRANGELl

The following is from the Wrangell Sentinel:
 News of a remarkably rich find of lead silver ore was brought to town by w. D. Grant, who is in town from a group of claims which he and his as sociates own near Virginia Lake.
 MT. Grant has been out with crew of six men doing assessment work. In following a rich stringer they came upon the main lead. They at once began stripping the big vein, which they followed for 5000 feet. The mere fact that this vein could be cas- fly followed for the length of two claims is sufficient in itself to give positive assurance that the ore is there in practically unlimited quanti- ties. In the crew were several old lead silver miners and each of them declared that the surface showings were far better than anything they had ever seen.
 Some of the ore uncovered was brought to town and has been attract ing considerable attention. The pub fisher of the Sentinel was present when a chunk of ore weighing l2 pounds was sawed open with hack saw. It was solid metal through and through.
 Samples from the stringers have been previously assayed and found to run high in silver. It is therefore more than likely that the ore of the main body is even richer than that of the stringer.
 The opinion was expressed by MT, Grant that the adjoining property owned by the Bon Alaska Mining Con- pany is also equally rich.
 The owners of these claims propose to do no wild-catting, but will take steps at once toward the legitimate development of their property.

QUARTZ LOCATION MADE
 IN THE VICINITY OF sEWAR


 Seward may in the near future have a quartz mine added to it's list of in- dustries. The mine, if carried to a development stage, would be located about midway between the town and Spruce creek.
 While out making a survey of the proposed trail from the town to the creek, Eric Nelson happened to mo- tice large quartz boulder lying on the beach with the result that his pros pecting instincts were aroused and he went searching for the ledge from which it came. A short climb up the hill located the ledge, or Assure. Se- curing several pounds of the quartz he brought it to town and shipped it to Fairbanks where tests will be made by both the Bureau of Mines and the Mineralogy department of the Agri- cultural College.
 MT. Nelson and others who are in- terested in quartz will await the out come of the assays with interest, for a quartz mine so close to the city will be an extremely valuable addition to the resources of the community Seward Gateway.

 The discovery was made by Jack Warren at the head of Glen Gulch and Slate creek, Warren, it is said, will take out 300 tons for shipment to the shelter this season, according to one business man.

kANTISHNA HYDRAULIC WORK
 PROMISES LARGE RETURN!


 J. B. Blick, general manager of the Mt. Mckinley Gold Placers, Inc, big hydraulic outfit Of the Kantishna dis trict, arrived in Nenana from the com pany's camp at Diamond.
 The manager reports that the com pany is now working two full crews, with three nozzles, on Caribou creek, and the showing made thus far is much better than was anticipated, Al though several clean-ups will be made this summer, much of the work done will be of a preliminary character, preparatory to the opening up of the ground on large scale next season.
 The development work being done now, MT. Blick says, consists partly of the construction of a new ditch and a high line Hume to get higher water pressure when the work opens up next season. It is expected that there will be twice as many nozzles in operation next summer as there are at present -Nenana News,

kANTiSHNA OUTLOOK IS
 VERY ENCOURAGING

There is promise of much activity in the Copper Mountain section of the Kantishna, according to Game Warden J. M Burrows, who arrived from the Kantishna several days ago. He says there is absolutely no truth in the re- port that the Aitken option has been thrown up. On the contrary, the ore values are showing up better than an- ticipated and development work is going ahead steadily, with the promise that there will be lot of work done before the close of the present season.
 There is a small crew at work, MT. Burrows says, and they have supplies enough to last all summer. By that time enough work will have been done to make possible the formulation of fu- ture plans.
 It is understood that one of the own CTS of the ground under option offered to return the money that had been paid him. but the offer was not accept ed, which is regarded as substantial evidence that the deal was satisfac- tory one and likely to result in the de- velopment of a great mine in that dis trict.
 The only thing that will retard de- velopment, in the opinion of MT. Bur rows, is lack of transportation facili- ties.-Nenana News.

 NOTES

ting the promising assay made on the ore, said that it would be impossible to say it could be mined successfully until a mill test had been made.
 Transportation costs, he said, are very high, a charge of $57.5O being made to land a ton of ore at the shelter. The first ore will be barged to lditarod and carried from there to St. Michael where it will be trans shipped on~eeean steamers. - Juneau Empire.
