ALASKA WILD FLOWER
 EXHIBITION BE OPENED
 FOR ALASKA TOURISTS

A wild flower and grass exhibit will be given to the public, particularly for the benefit of tourists, in the build ing formerly occupied by Dryden's Grocery Store, Saturday and Sunday, and possibly Monday and Tuesday.
 Every variety of wild flowers and grasses which grow in this district will be placed on display to show tourists what Alaska produces in this line. Mrs. P. c. McMullen is the origina- tor of the idea and is in charge of the exhibition. She was greatly assist ed by many persons and children in gathering the wild flowers and grass es and in arranging them in the ex- hibit room.
 Another reason for this show is to bring home to the people of Seward the beauty and value of these flowers which grow in profusion in this sec tion.
 The exhibit will be opened to the public free of charge.

iATM. HESSE SAYS
 KEEP AWAY FROM
 BRITISH GUIANA FIELDS
Fairbanks NeWs-Mine


 William Hesse, mineral surveyor, and pioneer in Alaska development. who returned to Fairbanks Tuesday after a several months trip to the tropics, brings back word to friends here of the diamond fields of British Guiana. MT. Hesse says:
 British Guiana lies between the Or inoco and Amazon rivers on the east coast of South America. It is rich in mineral resources, gold and diamonds being widely distributed. The dia- monds are found in shallow alluvial deposits that lend themselves to the primitive but highly efficient methods used in the mines.
 ''The climate of British Guiana is very agreeable, and, contrary to the general impression, the heat is in no sense oppressive and cases of prostra- tion from it are unknown.
 "Venomous snakes are there, but they are by no means plentiful and none were seen by our party during the six weeks of tramping thru the forests"
 MT. Hesse brought back several un- cut diamonds. Speaking of them, he went on to say:
 '"The diamonds found in Guiana are very fine in quality, there being none that surpass them ad few found that equal them. There is no kind of min ing that furnishes the kick that this does, but the fascination of winning these gems is offset by the fever condi tions met with in the diamond fields. The lowlands lying between the Am azon and the Orinoco rivers are prob ably the worst fever-infested countries on earth; those being yellow, black, water, typhoid, malaria, falaria, dysen- tery, hook worm and leprosy. There is no escape from the fever. Some sur vive, and some do not, but they all get it."
 MT. Hesse told of the cost of sup plies in the mining district.
 "The cost of supplies in the Mazar uni district is horbitant-smoking to bacco is $9.60 pound and everything else at prices that take ones breath away.
 My advice to my friends in Alas ka is to keep away from Guiana. If you have four or five thousand dol lars that you can afford to lose and you are willing to gamble with your life you chances of bein grewarded are probably better than they are here, provided that you can stay on Your feet-I could not"
 MT .Hesse is leaving Fairbanks for the Chandlar country the middle of this month

OWNERS OF DEER
 TO DRIVE HERDS
 INTO BROAD PASS
Anchorage Daily Alaskanl


 Accompanied by Tom Pootoluk, full blooded Eskimo, George Asf<nfelter, one of the largest individual owners of reindeer in the territory, started for Council this week for the purpose of transferring his herds from that point to Broad Pass. At Windy MT. Ashenfelter will be joined by Henry Stanley and family who will make the trip down the Yukon and across from St. Michael to Nome and Council.
 The journey is in line with the an nouncement of William T. Lopp, sup erintendent of the Bureau of Educa- tion in Alaska, for transferring all reindeer owned by the Bureau to the Broad Pass country.
 MT. Ashenfelter said just before his departure that he hoped to have a herd of from five to seven thousand head of reindeer in the spring drive The animals will be moved south and eastward this summer and be ready
  to cross the Yukon and begin the long journey to Broad Pass in winter, ar irving before the spring thaw.
 The decision of the Bureau of Edu- cation to move the native herds to Broad Pass is the outcome of range war in the far north according to advices received last winter by Mr. Lopp from agents of the department stationed in the Arctic. Owing to the increase in the Loman herde friction has been frequent according to re- ports, and it is planned to concentrate the Department of Education herds in one region, Broad Pass having been selected for it's ideal conditions for range and herding.
