The Box Peace Award.

Il is q foregone conclusion that
the Box peace plan essay viii receive
a favorable majority in the referen-
dunn that is being conducted through
the press and the magazines.
The state is all set for il. All
altruis &c people who hope 10 end
war by some means or other viii vote
for it. regardless Of whether they
are prepared for an intelligent vote
on tie question through reading and
a thorough study Of the problems
tina. stand in the way Of information
al peace.
But a referendum in many re-
spects is like an election, only less
convincing, because those who are
interested vote for the project under
discussion, some Of those opposed
are strong enough in their opposition
to take the trouble to vote and a
large disinterested per cent fail TO
take any side.
Those who have studied the win
ming plan in the Box peace award say
that it is a rehash Of peace proposals
heretofore made, with the single
exception Of one new thought-that
the manufacture and sale Of arms be
limited during times of peace.
Word comes from Washington
that the senate, which is clothed by
the constitution with authority to
make peace, will not officially
recognize the winning plan.
Perhaps this is as it should be.
The trainers Of the constitution had
the good judgment and foresight 10
realize that the common people, by
talent and disposition, were not
learned enough in the important
questions Of international relations,
70 decide them intelhgently. So
they delegated 70 the chief executive
and the more deiiberatiye branch Of
the congress the authority to de-
termine our policy toward other
nations.
No one can deny that an effort is
not being made to find a practical
plan for ending war, which the peo-
pie generally will accept Many
disagree on plans that have already
been proposed and many believe that
the United States should enter the
league Of nations, but nothing has
been found yet that this country can
sponsor. which is free from entang-
ling foreign relations, such as
opponents Of the league OF nations
oppose.
There are now three outstanding
plans before the present session of
congress in the form Of joint resolu-
tons.
One of them provides for the
outlawing Of war ant an information
al agreement of such judicial
character as would cot shackle the
independence or impair the sover-
eighty Of any nation"
Another would amend the con-
stitution to provide for q referen-
dunn Of the voters on the question of
a declaration Of war.
Still another calls for a con-
stitutional amendment providing for
the CONSUMPTION of money, industry
and property as well as men in case
Of war.
This constant seeking for way to
end war indicates an honest effort
10 find the road to peace and who
can say that it may not bear fruit?

CLAIMS TO BE LOST
MGR. ENGINEER MINE

Claiming to be Capt. James
Alexander, former manager of
the famous Engineer mine, an
inmate of the Oklahoma state
lunatic asylum has created
something of a sensation in
mining circles, not only by his
claim of being the man who is
supposed to have lost his life
in the wreck of the Inflated
Princess Sophia, but also by re-
lating details of events known
to have occurred in the life of
the famous mining engineer.
Details of this strange devel-
opment are contained in the
following press dispatch re-
printed from a Vancouver pap
Hyder weekly herald. [volume] (Hyder, Alaska) 1924-1934, 1924-10-20

per. The story is reproduced
lowing to considerable local in
in the Engineer mine, the story
of which is familiar to a major
lily of local residents.
Victoria, Oct. 11.-Affirming
himself to be Captain James
Alexander, famous manager of
the Engineer Mine, at Atlin.
and whose body was reported
recovered from the wreck of
the Inflated Princess Sophia,
an inmate of the Oklahoma
state lunatic asylum has started
an investigation which came to
the ears of Superintendent Nc
Mullin of the Provincial polioe
today. Capt. James Alexander
and Mrs. Alexander embarked
on the Inflated ship on her last
outbound run from the Yukon.
The Princess Sophia drove
hard on the rocks of Wander
bilt reef on October "a, 1913.
Two days later word reached
this city that the ship had bnen
broken up by heavy seas with
total loss of her passengers and
crew totalling 3S4 lives. Later
in the sad work of recovering
1.-THE bodies rescuers came on
the bodies of a man and a w.
man in the cabin assigned to
Captain and Mrs. Alexand n
and his death was presumed
before the local courts. Years
of litigation followed as to the
inheritance of the mine in
which the claim of kinship of
the relatives of Capt. Alexan-
der and Mrs. Alexander con-
tested bitterly the right of in
heritance.
The inmate of the Oklaho~e
state lunatic asylum not OILY
asserts that he is Capt. Al"x-
ander in person, but tells w Il
considerable details events
which are known to have oc-
Cured in the life of the fam
Gus mine operator.
The provincial authorities are
forwarding photographs ord
data in the hone of clearing uD
the mystery. If the late 90"
James Alexander should be
alive the denouement would be
the most sensational climav -
the tangled affairs of WHAT
turned out to be one of ths
greatest mines ever brought to
light in the far north.

CREEK
r. r. PROPOSED

Tentative plans for the con-
struction of a standard-guage
railroad from tide-water at
Hyder, up Salmon River to the
Alaska Canadian boundary
line at 13 Mile, with a two
mile branch up Texas Creek,
are outlined in articles of in
corporation of the Terminal
Railway and Power Company,
filed in the office of the Ter
ritorial Secretary, according to
recent juneau press advices.
The statement says:
ALASKA soon will have an
other railroad, according to
articles of incorporation filed
here by the Terminal Railway
& Power Co., of Hyder, Alas
ka. The company plans to
build a standard-gauge line
from Hyder up the Salmon
river valley to the Alaska
Canadian boundary line, a
distance of IL miles, and a two
mile branch from the main
artery leading to the Texas
Creek mines
Inquiry develops that the
project is sponsored by James
Keifer, a Seattle attorney, P. r
Backus, the well known civil
engineer and j. A. Hall, pres
|ident of the Salmon River
Banking Company, of Hyder.
The plans of the corporation
are still in a somewhat nebu-
lous state. AS reported in the
Juneau article, the road is
planned to extend from a
terminus at tide-water a short
distance below town, along
the east bank of Salmon River
to the boundary line below the
Premier. A branch line will
extend up Texas Creek from
the vicinity of 9 Mile to a point
as yet undetermined. 1t is stat
ed by the local representatives
of the company that the pro-
ject is aimed at providing an
adequate means for transport
alton of ore and mining sup
plies as soon as sufficient tom
mage is assured to warrant
construction. In the meantime
the company will proceed with
the necessary preliminaries,
surveys etc. in preparation for
future activities.

The Cleary Hills Mining Com
pany, operating on the former
Rhodes-Hall properties, has
sent in to Fairbanks a very

say two tunnels have been
driven, the upper of which is
836 feet in length. Assays of
the ore show it to run $3.50,
$940 and $408 per ton. In the
lower tunnel, which has been
driven 865 feet, the ore is of
very high grade. Five tons TAX
en- out recently averaged
$1,000 per ton.

The Valdez Miner reports one
of the most unique races ever
staged. A big bear tried his
speed against Roy Hodgkins in
a Ford car. Roy was taking a
load of passengers to Peninsu-
la Point when bruin was sight
ed alongside the front wheels
of the car. Fearing the bear
might become entangled in the
wheels on the narrow road,
Roy speeded up in an attempt
to pass his competitor. But the
bear declined to be beaten by
a Ford and also stepped on the
gas and sped ahead of the car.
He was going great but so fast
he was unable to negotiate a
sharp turn in the road and cat
apulted down onto the beach.

ly in Valdez with a huge gold

eagle in the road battling with
a small cub bear, which he had
attempted to carry off but was
unable to lift. AS the car APP

ened and tried to get away,
but was so worn out, apparent
ly from the fight with the cub
that he was unable to rise and
was struck and run over by the
car, having one of it's wings

tage of the respite to escape.
