LANDS THREATENS

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-National league club owners will continue their fight to have Ban Johnson removed as the president of the American league when the magnates of the two leagues get together in joint session at Chi cago Wednesday, it was reported here over the week end. Some of the Na- tional league men expressed the opin- ion that Johnson was not reprimanded sufficiently for his criticism of Commis- sioner Landis and the National league when his American league owners mere ly indorsed the administration of Landis at their annual meeting here last night.
 If the National league does go after Johnson in Chicago, it may have the support of Landis and Charles A. Com iskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox, who resumed the war with his old friend at the meeting last week after having been out of action for four years. Landis may demand an apology and from some source, it has leaked out that Landis will demand the resignation of Johnson under threat that he will give his position.

RESURRECTION RIVER
 PLACER CLAIMS ARE
 SAID BE RICH IN GOLD
Ground Paying s15 to Square Foot Being Worked by John Dubreil,
 a Seward Operator

Ground worth $15 to the square foot is being worked on Placer river, a tributary to Resurrection river, by John Dubreil, an old time prospector and miner of Seward. MT. Dubreil, who recently returned to Seward from his property, has seven claims on the river, and repeated tests have shown the ground to be very rich, bedrork being encountered at about IA feet. The ground is very wet and requires pumps to keep the water down, but otherwise is easily worked, there being unlimited water for sluicing.
 The district has been prospected but little, Charles Tecklenburg and Mrs. Anna Stotko owning some quartz claims in the vicinity but the placer ground remaining unlocated owing to inaccessibility. MT. Dubreil declares that with road up Resurrection river to Russian river, a big placer deposit would be opened up and the country become heavy producer. The Bu- reau of Public Roads last year, thru the efforts of H. E. Ellsworth and oth- CTS, promised to make survey for a trail up the river, in case the Cham Der of Commerce would provide a guide and packers. This was agreed to but the negotiations were dropped for some reason.
 According to MT. Dubreil pack ami mals can make the trip up Resurrec- tion river valley easily before May and in the late fall, after the water subsidies. The only drawback to de- velopment of the district is good roads and pack trails.
