ENGINEER MINE INVOLVED
 IN LITIGATION BY HEIRS

A recent arrival from Vancouver B. C., brings the report that the Engineer mine which was reported to be under bond and option to the Hollinger interests, which made an extended examination of the pro perty last year, will again be thrown into litigation papers, to this effect having been filed. The plaintiffs in the present action are the heirs of Mrs. Alexander who was lost in the wreck of the steamer Princess Soph- ia. Captain Alexander who also was lost, was reputed to be the chief owner of the rich mine. Since his demise. the property came into the possession of a banker of Phile- delphia named Smith. Smith got his equity in the mine through the death of a brother, Allen Smith, who financed Captain Alexander's development program.

BLIND ARE 90 PERCENT ABLE

LOS ANGELES, (By MaiD-- Blindness, though frequently the beggar's excuse, is rarely the cause of his mendicancy, acording to the Los Angeles BrailIe association, con- posed mainly of sightless men and women. Beggars are usually self made, the Braiffe association con- tends, citing a proof the fact that California's 4,00O blind, ninety per cent are workers. The percentage of self-supporting persons among the blind would be still greater, it is explained, were it not for the fact that begging pays so much '.ter than honest work.
 Even with a rehabilitation bureau of it's own, backed by state and county cooperation in training the sightless to earn a living, the asso- citation finds its campaign against begging seriously hampered by the high financial return of street beg ging as compared with ordinary work
 Blind beggars, investigators for the association have estimated, aver age $25 to $50 a day; i!e blind worker rarely receive more than B or $6 for a days toll. The task of converting prosperous beggars into self-supporting citizens is therefore not an easy undertaking.
 The Braille association neverthe- less is conducting with vigor its camapign to make sightless man and and women self-supporting, and finds it's encouragement in the fact that ninety percent of the blind prefer honet employment to the more lu- crative pursuit of the street beggar.
 This percnetage is proof. Braille members declare, that loss of sight is rarely responsible for loss of pride To drive this point home they well come all blind men and women to meeting of the association, but make mendicancy a bar to membership.

SWEDEN ACTIVELY AT WORK
 ON NEW RADIO PLANT

GOTHENBURG, (By MaiD- From Gothenburg, Sweden, to New York in one-fiftieth of g second no more time will be required for the transmission of a wireless mes sage when the powerful new radio station near Varberg, south of Goth enburg, is finished.
 The work on the half million dol Tor contract by the Radio Corpora tion of America for the equipment of this station has begun in earnest A large force of men is busy on the foundation for the masts for the two separate systems of antenae one for sending and the other fol receiving. One of the first steps is the installation of a so-called bal. ance net, which consists of copper wires laid in the earth at regula, distances.
 This new radio station, which pro- bably will be known as the Crime. ton station. will be used for simul- taneous messages in both directions between Sweden and the United States. The radio system which is to be installed is the now universal, ly known Alexanderson sSstem, in vented by the Swedish engineer E. T. ". Alexanderson, who is now associated with the Radio Corpora tion of America as chief engineer The mechanisms at Grimeton will work automatically, requiring only two or three attendants for the re- ceiving division. and about doz- en for the sending division. The ac- tual handling of messages will be done at Gothenburg through land wires connected with Grimeton.

JUNEAU ABANDoNs HOPE

Evidently the sooner the United States Land Office is removed from Juneau to Anchorage the better pleased will be Secretary Work of the Department of the Interior com ments Editor White of The Stroler's Weekly. He twice turned down the
 request of Juneau made by Mayor Golds;ein that the order be sus- pended until further investigation of conditions could be made. The last telegram from the Department of the Interior, MT. Work himself contained the chilled steel state ment that the order had not been thoroughly gone into and that there was no reason why t should be re voked. Indications, therefore, point to the removal of the land office to Anchorage during the present month in compliance with the exc cutive order that declines to back water. .~. -.-.

BEGIN DEVELOPMENT OF
 VESTS MINERAL WEALTH

substantial beginning of the active development of vast mineral wealth, heretofore locked up in the public domain of the various western states but now liberated under the general leasing law, was recorded by pr. H. Foster Bain, director of the Bur eau of Mines, in his annual report submitted today to the Secretary of the Interior.
 Oil is the foremost product of these lands SO far, but Dr. Bain said that when coal resources of the East start to give out, the government owned coal fields in the western states would be of prime importance.
 In the fiscal year ended last June, there were produced from gov ernment lands, other than Indian lands, 1S,236,362 barrels of oil, of which the Federal government re- veived as royalty 3,616,s52 barrels worth s4,76s,397, not including bon uses. In addition, at the end of the year s14,000 a month was being received by the government from natural gas leases on public lands in Wyoming. In the Rocky Mountain field a. lone, there were on government land i 336 oil wells, of which 267 were in the Salt Creek, Wyo., field. A hun dred other wheels were being drilled
 Under the terms of the devel- opment there had been issued 294 oil and gas leases in 1 states and 7,727 prospecting permits. on each of which drilling is required, in IS states and Alaska.
 The largest number of producing wells belonging to the government is in the Salt Creek field, where the government holds title to nearly all the land. Such an immense a. mount of crude petroleum was pro- duced that the capacity of the wells was far greater than the pipe line facilities to transport it.
 In Montana also, development pro- ceeded rapidly and at the end of the fiscal year there were 57 producing , wells in the Cat Creek field and g drilling on government land in the newly discovered and promising Sum- burst-Kevin field. Last June well near the center of the Cat Creek field drilled into a second and pro life oil sand and flowed naturally at the daily rate of 2,000 barrels. Another we'll came in at 2,400 bar rels. By these developments this field became the third largest pro- ducer in the Rocky Mountain region
 These developments are exclusive to activity in naval petroleum re- serves. Final adjudication was reached in outstanding contests on such oil lands, leases were granted and drilling arranged A study made by the Bureau of Mines showed the government lands were losing heav- fly by drainage and that approxi- mately 22,000,0O0 barrels had been lost. Of this, on the scale now in effect the governments royalty would have been worth s8,80o, 900. To prevent these losses, leases were given 70 Crlll on rich lands where drainage occurred and the Navy is receiving royalties in oil which is converted to fuel oil for naval yes sels and shipped at such points as necessity warrants for time of em- ergency, .=:.. ...: ! The United States government is one of the largest coal land own CTS in the world, and also holds inn portant reserve of phosphate, potash and other salts. Coal is now being mined in these lands under lease, in Wyoming, Washington, Montana,

Glason Weds

On Wednesday OF last week

forfeited a $4,000 wager in or
der to wed Helen Story Dooley.
The two were made one by JUS
tice of the Peace William j. Zoul
Of Cleveland, where Glason was
playing the Palace Theatre. A
year ago Glason entered a pact
with Harry Kuhn and Bob Mel
son that if any one of the three
married he must pay each of the
others $4,000
Each had taken a beating at
the matrimonial game, and
wished to fight shy of another.
When Glason began to weaken,
his friends were adanant. How
ever, at last Wednesdays GER
emony, Kuhn acted a sbest man
and slipped into the happy
bridegroom hand a little en-
velope in which he and Nelson
forfeited their claims, although
both agreed that the bride was
easily worth the ten thousand.
Glason will be seen at B. F.
