Copper Mountain
 Mining Property
Valdez Miner.

It is reported that Tom Aiken, one ofthe most prominent mining operat- OTIS of the interior, has purchased the Copper Mountain mining property opened up last summer by Giles X Grant This report gains credence from the fact that Jack Price, well Known in Alaska mining circles, and who has been associated with MT. Aitken in other mining properties. has come north to take charge of the work on the property this summer. It is stated that Mr. Aitken has made a cash payment Of S20, 000 bat the total purchase price has not been made pub lie. The property is located in the Mount Mckinley National Park, and is tributary to what is known as the Kan tishna district proper. Galena discov- cries Of some value were reported from there last sumner by Giles & Grant, showing surface indications of big body of ore. Mining men visiting the property were impressed with the sur face showings, and it is believed that development work will reveal mineral deposits of considera ble value.

Rector and Mrs. Mills Feared
Spies, Had Phone Signal
Singer TALKED of Suicide

NEW BRUNSWICK. y. j.. oct. 25
Omitted Press) The Rev. Edward
W. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills were
conscious OF being spled upon for
some time prior to their murder. ac-
cording to new evidence unearthed
by investigators today.
Mrs. Nellie Opie. whose telephone
was frequently used by Mrs. Mile.
said that the couple was so afraid OF
answering decoy calls and being
trapped into making damaging ad-
missions that they had signals and
counter signs which were exchanged
over the wire before they dared talk
freely.
For instance. when Mrs. Mills
got Hall on the telephone she al
ways whistled a few bars OF Just
Like a Gypsy" before talking. Then
she listened for an Answering sig
nal. Presumably Hall whistled some
other love melody or uttered a word
previously agreed upon so each
could he sure OF the others identity.
During the last days before the
final tragedy Mrs. Mills often threat
ened suicide according to Mrs. Ople.
She looked worried. talked about
not being able to "find A way out"
and said she would dTown herself
in the canal.

ness of the murder. has been unable

The usual effect Of increasing the
bitterness between husbands and

by them publicly in cases Of marital
differences that end in court. will
be avoided to a great extent under
a policy suggested by Judge Hast

Under the plan. all family breach
of the peace and assault and bat
terry cases would be referred for in
vestigation before court trials. thus
obviating the necessity OF public
trials in many cases.
In many instances Judge Hast

involved in cases leave the court
room more bitter toward each other
than ever before after hearing the
sworn testimony of each, which often
is given in scathing terms. The
