Change In Firemen's Death Benefits

The delegates at the closing session
of the New Jersey Firemen's Associa-
tion convention, at Atlantic City, Sat
urday, adopted radical change in the
matter of death benefits. Formerly
beneficiaries received uniform sum
of $500. Hereafter the benefits will
be graded according to years of ser
vice, and it is estimated that 40 per
cent will be saved in the disburse-
ments. The benefit will be denied
persons who are not in need of relief
The new scale provides S100 where
service of the deceased has been less
than one year; 5000 for less than two
years, and $50 for each additional
year until maximum of $500 is
reached.
The delegates also adopted a rec
ommendation that the age limit for ap-
plicants for admission to departments
be limited between the years of 81 and
35 years, instead of 18 to As, as gen
orally effective at present. While this
goes forward only as a recommenda-
tion it will apply to the State Asso-
/ citation as far as death benefits are
concered. The resolution also asked
/ for a medical examination of candi-
dates.
General Bird Spencer, of Passaic,
was reelected president for his forty

Temporary relief and lasting re-

You will find the Firestone Dealer one
of the stable business men of your com
munity He offers clean, fresh stock,
backed by well organized service. He
wants you as permanent customer.
That is the reason he sells Firestone
tires. He knows and has plenty of proof
that they are the best tires on the mar
ket. He can give you the greatest value
and thereby retain your trade for years.
Every day you find new proof of this
unequalled value. On the 18th Of this
month, Firestone Tires set two new dirt
track records at Syracuse when Tommy
Milton slid around four turns at every
mile and covered the 100 miles in IS min

Not only do race drivers use Firestone

Bigger Things for
 CaSSiar Result
 Of New Road
Harvey M. Ross Reports Sat isfactory Progress This Season on the Property of His Company on Dease Creek.

Harve-t M. Ross, of the firm of Craig & Ross, who are operating on Deasa Creek, arrived in Wran- gell on the Hazel B No. 4 Satur- day afts,noon and took passage on the Princess Alice Monday evening.for Seattle on business trip.
 Mr. Ross reports considerable mining activity in the Cassiar this season. His company has recent ly installed a four-inch steam star drill which is now in opera tion. This company has recently located seven more leases which means Shat they have taken up practically all the available claims fon Dease Creek from their property to the lake.
 This company has also com. pleted preliminary survey for ditch from the lake at the head waters of Dease creek to the property. The ditch will be P miles in length and will bring the water from the lake to the property at a fall of 229 feet. The pipe will be taken up Dease Creek on the ice during the winter months. Six and seven inch noz- zles will be used in hydraulick- ing.
 Mir. Ross reports that the Pen- dleton Gold Mining Company are making good headway in getting their machinery on to the ground and further states that their outlook is very flattering.
 According to Mir. Ross, one of the greatest things that has ever happened for the Cassiar is the splendid road that is now being built by the Government from Telegraph Creek to Dease Lake. Mr. Ross says that heretofore the cost of getting mining ma chinery any distance beyond Tel egraph Creek has been almost prohibitive. The new road will provide a much cheaper way of getting machinery into the mining district. The Canadian govern ment is alive to the situation and it's program of road building will to considerable extent over come the transportation difficult ties and will mean much better and bigger things for the Cassiar

The above statements from the B.C. District Mining Engin- eer are most significant and en- couraging, and, it is hoped, will result in an influx of prospectors into the highly mineralized dis trict at our back door, which with its towering peaks and mountain streams is a veritable wonderland and which remains unmapped and practically unexplored, without a settler, Native or white, just as God made it, and only fifty miles from Wrangell.
 Wrangell's Favored Location
 Wrangell, on account of being located at the mouth of the Sti- kline river, is a natural enfreboi for the mineral deposits of a large section of northern British Co- lumbia. The Iskut River enters the Stikine about six miles above the International boundary, and in volume is almost equal to the Stikine. About forty miles above the point of its confluence with the Stikine, the Iskut has cut 8 channel for itself through a basalt plateau for over twenty miles, ir places so narrow that a faller tree will span the gap, with the entire volume of the river flow ing hundreds of feet below.

 Iskut Is Sure to Have a Boom
 According to the B. c. Govern ment Engineers views expressed in the beginning of this article, there is every indication that the mining boom of the Port. land Canal district will overrun us very soon. And then the town of Wrangell will come into its own.
 The Portland canal district is filled with prospectors. and they are now up to the headwaters of the Unuk river and still coming north. The next jump will be the lskut river, entrance to which will be through Wrangell and up the Stikine River and on to the South Fork of the Iskut which is about fifteen miles airline north of the present end of the Portland Canal mining activities. Geology of the Iskut
 Canadian Geological reports show that there is a huge strip of granite called the coast batholith which runs from Van couver to the Yukon, and which. roughly speaking, is twenty to thirty miles wide. The Western contact runs on the coast line, viz: Vancouver Island, Queen Charlotte Island, and up the 1 U. s. Coast with outcrops on all

 Untold Mineral Wealth
 The tremendous success of the Premier mine near Hyder which recently declared a new dividend which with it's previous pay ments completes net profit for the first fifteen months Of opera tion, of the stupendous sum of three million six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, is an in- dication of the untold mineral wealth which will continue to be found along the east contact with this coast granite.
 Romance of the Iskut
 Strange as it may seem, it is not unlikely that Indian super stition has been responsible in no small degree for keeping pros pectors out of the 1skut.
 Ever since the Whites came to Alaska the Iskut has borne an evil name, due in large measure to the disinclination of the Ma tives to traverse its waters, their ancestors having imbued them with the belief that a knstika-a, or bad spirit, had his abode in the headwaters, and devoured all invaders of his iXahee. Only ten years ago a German count, knowing of the big grizzly bears to be found there. did his best to get the late Chief Shakes to take him up in his canoe, offering him extravagant rewards, but in vain.
 Iskut Is Navigable
 The Iskut was first recognized as a mineralized region in 1874, the time of the Cassiar rush, but for all these years the gold seeker has passed by on the other side. owing to the generally accepted belief, which originated with the h. dians, that the stream was so dangerous as to make explora- tion of the district out of the question. However, this belief has no foundation in fact. Capt. 5. c. Harrington of the Barring ton Transportation Company has more than once gone up the Iskut for a distance of twenty-siX miles with one of his river boats which is in regular operation on the Stikine. Furthermore Cap- tain Harrington has offered to contract to deliver an unlimited tonnage of mining machinery at any point within twenty-six miles above the mouth of the Iskut.
 Small gas boats are continually making the trip, and go to the head of navigation which is at the mouth of the first canyon, a distance of forty miles from the Stikine. Small gas boats make the round trip in three days provided the weather is not un- favorable. Also, it is no great trouble for small polling boats to make the trip by using the nu- merous sloughs and side streams.
 NoTE-Any prospector wishing to go into the Iskut section, or any person desiring information regard. ing this region, can obtain further particulars by writing to the Wrangell Commercial Club.
