Mining News

A party of prospectors came into town last week with an extensive collection of samples of various kinds of ore taken on the Iskoot. Some of the metals represented were gold, sil- yer. lead and copper. The samples were forwarded to the government assay office at Victoria, and there is no doubt that returns will show high values
 While the samples brought in from the Iskoot attracted some at tention they occasioned no great sur prise locally. For it is the general belief that the Iskoot is continu- ation of the Portland Canal region which just now is attracting the at tention of the mining world as no other new mining district on the con- tinent. The Guggenheims and other big interests have gone into that dis trict and gained control of the best properties there. There is little doubt that the Iskoot district is as highly mineralized as the Portland Canal region. And it is hoped that a beginning is now being made which at no distant date will result in the opening up of bonanza which will attract as much attention to the Is- koot and make it of as great import ance as Portland Canal
 Wrangell is the port of entry for the Iskoot district and the opening up of that region would mean that as it increased in importance Wrangell would benefit proportionately.

Positions Open for
 The Newly Trained
 Victims World War

That the rehabilitated World war veterans success in life depends absolutely upon his faith in himself, is the assertion of Mai W. r. Lent. chief of the employment service of the United States veterans bureau which has in charge the proper train Ing of thousands of disabled service men.
 Major Lent, In speaking before the headquarters staff of the American Legion in Indianapolis. said that the Legion and the Legion Auxiliary had as one of their greatest obligations the task of insulting into the hearts of service men an absolute faith and confidence in themselves and their abilities to cope with life's problems
 He said that the government Is to have a place for every veteran three or four months before the veteran is ready to take it. We do not guarantee that man who has studied to be q factory superintendent will be placed in that position" the major explained. but he will be placed in the path so that he can obtain such a position through his own initiative and ability.
 We want employers to understand, too. that these men are no longer cripples. They may be physically crippled, but not industrially or vo- cationally. When We put man with one arm into a job, he Is as well able and perhaps more so, to do that particular work us Is the man with tUa at.t,,S v

Dr. A F. Buddington of the U s. Geological Survey has recently been making a geologic examination of the strip of territory on this side of the International boundary line from the Iskoot. Dr. Buddington brought back several bags filled with sam ples, but like all other members of the Geological Survey, was in no po- sition to talk about the results of his investigations, owing to the strict government regulations. But the mere fact that US. geologist has been making investigations on the American side from the Iskoot is sig nificant in itself.
 Lewis G. Westgate also of the US. Geological Survey, who last year made a geologic examination of the Salmon River region, recently made report to the government on the ore deposits of the Salmon River district. In Bulletin 722 which lis just off the press MT. Westgate says:
 "The gold and silver lodes from kechikan north are close to either the west side of the main body of granite rock or to the smaller in- trusions that lie outside that body and still farther west. The ore depos- its in the Salmon River are in a cor responding position near the east edge of the batholith. The contact farther north is in Canadian terri tory, but metal deposits of various kinds have been reported near it. This relation is essential, not acci- dental. The deposits border the bath olith because the metals which they carry were derived from the igneous rock while it was still hot"

 Miss Hilda Scheurer, charming as a "fapper" of 1922. was still more at- tractive as a ''fiapper of 1716." The crowds which packed one of the largest and finest motion picture the aters in the Middle West during the entire showing of Cardigan pie ture of Revolutionary days, which the American Legion is sponsoring. was proof of the fact that Miss Scheurer and her sister "flappers' did a good job of advertising.
 It was not the first work Miss Scheurer has done for the American Legion. She is an ardent worker In the Legion Auxiliary.

Hydro Electric
 Power Plant
 For Wrangell
Local Citizen Favors Project. Says Wrangell's Natural Resources Will Never Be Developed Until Town Has Cheap, Efficient Power.
Contributed

The writer is writing from the standpoint of one who though small tax payer in Wrangell is much interested in the progress of the
 town. So he feels that when the question of a hydroelectric power plant for Wrangell is brought up, he can speak from a disinterested stand point
 Public utilities. wherever possible. should be owned by the public, and not farmed out to private corpora tions. The profits of a public utility should go to the community where it
 is located and the losses should be borne by the same community
 Wherever there is loss, there is all
 ways a chance at another election to put in officials that will give more efficient service. When a community owns it's public utilities every voter feels that he has a personal interest
 in the election, and a far better class of officials is secured.
 So then on general principles, the writer believes that the town of Wrangell should have hydroelectric plant and should own it itself But how? A hydro electric plant costs money, lot of it. and Wrangell is a small town with no one in it of any great financial means If 1t is to
 have power plant it must borrow the necessary money and issue bonds as security for the money borrowed But some say, ''Is it not dangerous for town to bond itself ? - To run in debt for improvements that do not yield financial returns is always dan gerous, but if the borrowing is for a necessary business investment where adequate financial returns are in sured. then it is both safe and advis- able.
 So what are the reasons that make it advisable for Wrangell to borrow money for a hydro electric power plant ?
 Wrangell will not grow without it. Wrangell has plenty of natural re- sources. It is a center of a large fish district It is in easy reach of marble ledges, and this marble could be worked up here very profitably. l. has immense lumber resources. But none of these resources will ever be developed without the possibility of cheap and efficient power. With power Wrangell could have a fine cold storage for fresh fish; it could have marble works; it could have blaming mills and numerous other manufacturing establishments. With out it Wrangell can hope for nothing. Men who have all they possess invest ed in Wrangell, are backing the movement. They say, Suppose the movement should mortgage 50 per cent of the value of the town, what of it? It will mean in the end, that every dollars worth of property in the town will be worth many fold what it is now.
 The idea is not wild cat affair. It is a serious determined effort on the part of the business men of the town to build it up, and make it what it's
 natural resources make possible - leading city of Alaska.
