Big Celebration in Wrangell on
 Fourth of July

Plans and preparations for the big Fourth of July celebration in Wran- gell are coming along fine. In ad- dition to the attractions that will be put on by the sports committee will be the carnival given by the P. T. A.
 The annual dance of the American Legion on the night of the Fourth will be the most important social event of the summer.
 Invitations have been extended to all the towns of the West Coast, and in case our friends in that region find themselves confronted with trans portation difficulties, the Fourth of July committee will have a boat sent from here, provided there are enough passengers to justify the trip. This could be done at a nominal expense to the visitors.
 A partial list of the street sports is published on another page.
 c. F. Hurley of the finance com mittee is around this afternoon with the Fourth of July subscription list and is meeting with excellent success.

Rich Strike Made Near
 Wrangell
Enormous Body of Re- markedly Rich Lead Silver Ore Is Uncover ed Near Virginia Lake by W. D. Grant.

News oi q remarkably rich find of .sau suyer ore Was brought to town this week by w. D. Grant who came in Tuesday from a group of claims which he and his associates own near Virginia Lake.
 Mir. 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 be- gan stripping the big vein, which they followed for 5000 feet. The mere fact that this vein could be easily followed for the length of two claims is sufficient in itself to give positive assurance that the ore is there in practically unlimited quan- titles. 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 chunk of ore weighing l2 pounds was sawed open with a 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 stringers.
 The opinion was expressed by Mir Grant that the adjoining property owned by the Bon Alaska Mining Company is also equally rich.
 The owners of these claims are w. D. Grant, B. Y. Grant, Donald Sinclair, Dr. $. C. Shurick. They propose to do no wild-catting, but will take steps at once toward the legitimate development of their prop erty.

Sutherland Writes Concerning Wrangell
 Breakwater Project

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
 Washington, DC.
 June s, 1922 Mir J. W. Pritchett,
 Editor Sentinel,
 Wrangell, Alaska. My dear MT. Pritchett
 I presented the case of the Wran- gell Narrows and Wrangell Harbor projects to Senator Jones soon after my return from Alaska and urged him to give us some recognition in the Rivers and Harbors bill. I par ticularly urged the Wrangell Narrows project by reason of the general ben eft that would come from improve ment there, butsI told him that if he the large appropriation that we would be thankful for the Wrangell break water. Yesterday he told me that he had placed it in the bill and therefore am hopeful that it will be retained We were, as you know, turned down by the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors, but Senator Jones is always very friendly to Us and I feel that by reason of that friendly feeling he has placed this item in the bill. You will under stand that it may be removed when it gets back to the House, as the House members seem to be stronger for retrenchment and curtailment of expenditures than the Senate mem bers are. We will do the best we can, however, to keep it in the bill.
 am snding youa copy of the latest publication of the Federal Power Commission showing the projects ap- piled for in the vicinity of Wrangell.
 Sincerely yours,
 DAN SUTHERLAND,
 Delegate from Alaska.

liquor for transportation both in
Canada itself and across the inter-
national boundary. The dele
youched for by Representative
men" of the profession and the dis
cussions were quite frank and free.
The dry officers are now endeavor-
ing to discover just what new meth
DDS of concealment were adopted
for shipment both by rail and mo-
tor. The convention also proved a
clearing house for new formulas
for the manufacture of synthetic
and other Illicit liquors.
There was even discussion of gov
ernment fines and how the heavy
penalties now being assessed might
be pooled among co-workers.
+ And Wine and Beer Campaign.
One of the most interesting re-
ports coming from the convention
aside a sum among the organized
bootleggers to assist in the general
campaign for the legalization of
light wines and beer. This brought
about discussion which lasted vir-
tually throughout the convention,
some of the bootleggers contending
that wine and beer modification
of the prohibition laws in the Unit
ed States would seriously affect the
bootlegging business while others
contended that with wine and beer
moving freely there would be less
activity by dry officers and conse-
quently less interference with the
dealers in the hard STUFF. The
report of the convention closes with
the statement that nothing definite
was decided regarding this matter.
