According to the Juneau Empire, Cash Cole who has filed his declara- tion of candidacy for governor of Alaska, on tna republican ticket las not completed working out his platform but expects to make it public within short time
 MT. Cole say, however, according to The Empire, that he is opposed to fisheries reserves and in accord with Delegate Sutherland's position on that subject He believes that the closed season law on salmon fishing points the way to territorial regulation of the fisherit and that future terri torial legislatures can handle them along the same line.
 Mr. Cole consistently supported Judge Wickersham when the latter was Alaska's representative in Wash ingGOh He i; close D., 0sn4l tIionI of the judge and also of Delegate Sutherland whom he has supported strongly in the past. He said he had been assured of the support of both men in his candidacy.
 The law under which MT. Cole sub mitted his declaration was passed by the 1921 legislature. It provides for the expression of opinion by the voters of the territory for governor. Candidates for the nomination are re- quired to file for the primaries as in the case of elective public office, and those winning in the primaries enter the general election. The candidate receiving the Figh st vote will under the law have his name submitted to the President of the United States as the choice of the people of Alaska for their governor for term of four years.

HEADS OF HAMMON GOLD DREDGES ON
 WAY ID STATES Nome Mining Men Make First Trip Over Government Railway to
 Take Ship at Seward ALL MINING RECORDS BROKEN Shortage of Water Holds Back Oper- atinns But Weather Conditions
 Said to Have Been Good
ALL MINING RECORDS BROKEN

H R. Edwards general superinten- dent of the Hammon Consolidated Gold Company of Nome, arrived in Seward Saturday night on his way to the States, having been on the trail tWenty-one days, with Leonard Ser- pala, the Nome dog-musher and prize winning team of IT Siberian dogs. Mr. Edwards declared that the trip was one of the most enjoyable he has ever taken in Alaska, MT. Seppala being an excellent guide and trail compan- ion. In an interview with a Gate way representative MT. Edwards said that although his district had suffered somewhat from shortage of water, the extreme length of the season al- lowed the company to work their dredges up to few days before Christmas. The company operated a hydraulic plant in connection with the dredges. This plant was shut down a short time in July and August, but later resumed work again. Nearly 200 men are carried on the payroll, and Nome benefited greatly by the de mand for labor. By the installation of the cold water method of thawing ground an enormous saving was made this season. A crew of 75 men were engaged in driving cold water points at 16-foot intervals and the tempera- atures of the water used varied from just above freezing to warm.
 The Hammon Consolidated Gold Company acquired the property of the Pioneer Mining company, known as the Lindeberg claims, about two years ago.
