SHELTER AT SULZER PLAN
 OF COMPANY
Available for Treatment of Ores From District
 About ketchikan
TO STIMULATE INDUSTRY
About Twenty Small Mines in Vicinity Will
 Be Able to Work

A smelter or reduction plant fol the treatment or ores from mines in the Ketchikan mining district, is the plan under consideration by w. H Adams, president of the Alaska Jumbo Metals Company, who is now at Sulzer looking over the situation MT. Adams hopes to have the plant under construction in the very near future, and in an interview in the Ketchikan News says:
 Our work at the present time is repairing the old buildings and the wharves, getting the power plant in good running order, the ore bunkers and other mine equipment in readi- ness for occupation. The property at Sulzer has lain idle for the past six years and all of the buildings were badly in need of repairs. A pile driver crew is steadily at work repairing the wharves and by the middle of April we expect to be in shape to make an announcement to the people that will mean something for the Ketchikan district.
 There are approximately twenty mines on Prince of Wales Island alone which show commercial value and which will immediately become paying properties as soon as a re- duction plant will have been estab- lished, but which, owing to prohibi- tive transportation costs to the smell ters so far away, can not now be worked profitably.
 "Our plan is to take care of all these small properties and those op- erating small properties can take one ton, or even fractional amounts of ore to the reduction plants and get their check for the amount as farmer would for his load of pro- duce. Small mines operating within hundred miles of Sulzer can loat their ore on gas boats or small barges and get their money imme' diately the ore is assayed, receiving the value to which they are entitled on all by-products of the ore.
 "The reduction plant will handle all the gold and silver, together with the other minerals which vii be fused into copper mats, weighing 25O pounds each, in which form they will be shipped to the world! markets"

DYKE OF YORK MAY
 RULE A DOMINION

LONDON, April 6. - The Duke oi York is to be created either Governor General of South Africa or Viceroy of India immediately after his marriage according to current Court informa 1 ton.
 The former appointment is regarded as being more probable. At present the post is held by Prince Arthur of Connaught, who, when his two-year' term of office expired, was asked to remain for a further twelve month and has again been requested to re- main for yet another year. That would mean his return to England at the end of 1923, which would fit in with arrangements of the Duke of York.
 On the other hand, Lord Reading is anxious to resign the Viceroyalty Of India at the earliest possible moment. But the difficulties of this position are so great, and so much depends on the personal abilities of the occupant, that it is felt to be unfair to place young man in the job
 The nominal headship of the Do- minions seems to be becoming a nat ural career for British royalties. The first instance was when the Marquis Lorne-afterward Duke of Argyle son-in-law of Queen Victoria, became Governor-General of Canada in 1878. The post was later held by the Duke Of Connaught and his son, Prince Ar thur, has been a great success in South Africa.
 The Duke of York has had good training for an appointment of the kind. A very studiousr thoughtful youth, he concentrated while at Cam bridge University on civicc and eco- monies and questions relating to I:rit- ish Empire administration. He has developed into quite a good public speaker and is expected to make good in his job. His younger brother, Prince Henry, is likely to follow a similar career.
