FAST LOSING HOPE OF SAVING MINERS
 TRAPPED BY FIRE
*.a..'- -' '',sE8s I q

JACKSON, Cal, Aug. 31. The dawn of the fourth day since the forty-eight miners were entombed in the Argonaut mine by fire in the main shaft at the 3500-foot level, found the rescue crews still work ing feverishly against seemingly in surmountable odds. Hopes of find ing the men alive are slowly ebbing. While it was believed yesterday that but one hundred feet intervened be- tween the rescuers and the trapped men. it was discovered today that 535 feet of rock and earth still re- main to be removed before the men could be reached from an adjacent mine. Even if the men had survived the fire. it is hardly possible, it is thought, that they could have kept alive without ventilation for this length of time.

BETTER TIMES AFTER STRIKE
 SAYS GARY

CHICAGO, Aug. 31. - Edward H Cary, the steel magnate, en route from New York for a vacaton in Colorado, said in an interview today; There seems to be general feel ing that business activities are in- creasing. I believe that a period Of great prosperity willbe witnessed whenever the conditions of produc- tion and transportation will permit. MT Gary said that he thought there is still good deal of profiteering in business connected with building materials and some trades" Asked his opinion on Henry Ford's order to close his plants, MT. Gary said that Ford's action was simply a pro- test against paying extortionate prices"

two Kinds of stories being circulated about Alaska-one having tendency to Keep people away from the Terri tory, and the other telling of oppor tunltles that do not exist" Alaskans, he said, should exert every effort to have the truth told, in order that there may be no misunderstanding.
 General Richardson is keenly inter- ested in the promotion of wagon roads and trails throughout the Territory. In which development, he said, he would exert every effort Co assist. But he was especially emphatic in his statement that the road from Valdez and Chitina to Fairbanks should be completed, since it is an important alternate route and feeder to both the Government and Copper River Railroads. q am not biased in my in- terest in the promotion of develop ments in the Territory" said General richardson, .l5, Tt is the duty of all gov ernmnt employees to uphold the gov ernment's investment in all quarters But it would be a great set back for the Territory if the road from Val dez to Fairbanks were permitted to fall into disuse or bad repair. This road is great encouragement to tour lsts, ten of whom would make the circling trip to the interior and out, to one returning by the same route as that taken in. The scenery along this route is the most wonderful in the world, and further improvements will make the trip possible with less delay and more comfort" General Richard son was earnest in his assurance that he will exert every effort in his power to aid in the development Of Alaska through government assistance. "T have always believed that Alaska would make good" he said, Out am equally certain that the government must help it to get solid footing" "
 The general left on the Northwest ern this morning, and will stop for 2 few days in Southeastern Alaska, en route to Seattle, where he will remain week before proceeding on to Wash ington.

Air Routes in ALUSkU
 SOLUe 7rnUeL Problem

Aviator c. o. Prest passed through Cordova last night, a passenger on the Northwestern from Seward. Since the mishap on the flying ex- his rescue by searching party from the latter city, MT. Prest has been in the interior principally at Eagle. He is now on his way to New York to purchase a new airship preparatory to another flight effort in Alaska next Spring. MT. Prest left his dis abled, though not wrecked, airplane lying among the niggerheads where it came to earth. Owing to the bulk mess of the machine and the diff faculties of transportation in that sec tion, the aviator found it impracti- cable to salvage his ship. He walked off and left it, he says, just as it was. It is possible that the engine may be removed and taken to Fair banks during the winter by chance freighters passing that way. Arrange ments have been made by the aviat- or to cover such a contingency. MT. Prest is undaunted in his determina- tion to make a cross Alaska flight, and he hopes in the Spring to fly from Fairbanks to Nome, thence north to Point Barrow and back to Fairbanks, making a circle of the northwesternmost portion of Alaska
 'The establishment of air routes would solve the transportation problem of Alaska, so far as pas senger traffic and carriage of the mails Is concerned he said last night. ''It is certainly a matter of considerable importance that the 320 mile trip between Dawson and Fair banks, which by the present meth

Richardson Promises Aid
 h Development Of Alaska

Brig.-Gen. Wilds P. Richardson, former chairman of the Alaska Road Commission and an ardent friend of Alaska in all it's parts, was a passen- ger on the Northwestern last night on his return from a months inspec- tion trip into the interior. General Richardson started on his trip early in August, going to Fairbanks over the Valdez-Chitina trail the highway bearing his name and of which he was the original builder. Gen. Richardson was accompanied by Colonel GotWals, of the Alaska Road Commission, who pointed out to him the progress made in the completion of the highway. The trip was made comfortably in two and a half days, stops of a night each being made at Meiers roadhouse and at Richardson's roadhouse, though the trip could have been made to Fair banks, he said, without the latter stop, Heavy rains for three weeks had re- suited in rttting the road badly for a distance of twenty-five miles, but the remainder of the 300 miles is reported by General Richardson to be in very good shape.
 General Richardson expressed him self as being very agreeably surprised at the optimistic spirit prevailing at Fairbanks Representatives of large dredging interests are testing areas in the Fairbanks mining district in an- ticipation of extensive operations, and the people are hopeful of the out come. In addition to the placer min ing, two quartz properties are being operation. The farming situation es- pecially impressed the general. About a thousand acres are now under cul- tiyation in the vicinity of Fairbanks, he said, and the character of the farm ing is good, with prosperous-appear ing dwellings and equipment.
 General Richardson came out via the Government Railway, stopping at Nenana, where he made an inspection of the Healy coal properties and the new bridge across the Tanana, and at the Matanuska coal fields, at Anchor age and at Seward. The general was much interested in the many difficult problems which have been worked out by the Engineering Commission, and and the approaching completion of the railway. In each town that he visited General Richardson said he had found an optimistic and hopeful spirit, with the assurance that condi- tions were improving daily-a fact controverting rumors which he had en- countered in the east to the effect that conditions in the Alaska interior were bad. Speaking of such reports, Gen eral Richardson said: "There are

ods of travel requires three uncom- fortable weeks, can be made by airplane in a little over three hours. To people to whom time is money, that is a pretty quick way of saving it. The carriage of freight, of course, is not practicable. The expense would not justify it. But over a country as vast as this and as impossible in many places, the transportation of mails and passengers by airplane is the one practicable means of travel"
 Airplane flight presents no great CT difficulties in Alaska than else where, says MT. Prest. The principal problem is one of landings. But with regular routes laid out, that diff culty is overcome, and the hazards between are no more numerous than in any other part of the world.
 MT. Prest says he prefers to fly alone on his exploring flights. The solitariness is more than compensat- ed for by the greater ease in handl- ing a machine burdened with less weight. Besides" he added, "the one thing an aviator has to look out for is his engine. When someone else is taking care of it, he doesn't know just what condition it is in; when he's looking after it himself he does" MT. Prest prefers a wood en plane to the metal ones, for he says, 'Wood splinters before it breaks; 1t gives you chance to see what's going to happen. Metal doesn't. And besides, If the wood breaks, you can take a piece of cracker box and some nails and wire and patch 1t up; with metal you can't"

UPPER HOUSE
 HAS PASSED . BONUS BILL

: WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. - The senate this morning passed the four billion dollar bonus bill which now poes to a conference committee. The vote was forty-seven to twenty-two with party lines abolished by ap- parently both sides. It is confdentally expected that President Harding will veto the bill if 1t is finally enacted as it now stands since high officials have indicated that the President IS unchanged from the announcement of his intention to disapprove any bonus legislation which does not carry the means of raising the needed rev. ,enue The bill, as passed, would become effective the tWenty-third or next January and would provide three optional plans for the veterans of the world war. Others than those whose pay would not exceed fifty dollars and who would be paid cash options, are adjusted by service cer- tificates, payable in twenty years or earler in case of death, drawing scompound interest at the rate of a dollar and seventy-five cents day up to hundred and forty percent of their adjusted compensation to aid in purchasing farm or home.
