CILPATRICK RETURNS FROM INNING PROPERTY
 IN MOOSE PASS DST,

John Gilpatrick and partner, MT. Brown, of Anchorage, who have been doing their annual assessment work on their gold Quartz property in the Moose Pass district, returned to town on last nights train, after completing their work, which has taken them about two months. Three men were employed by Gilpatrick and Brown in doing the work.
 MT. Gilpatrick's mining property, which is considered one of the lead- ing quartz properties of the district, is showing up better than ever. Sev- eral new leads were uncovered this season and all of them showing up good.
 MT. MacMillan, whose property is situated near that of John Gilpatrick, is busy now, taking ore from his mine on the hill and transporting it down to the mill. This property $ also showing up well, according to MT. Gill patrick.
 R. B. Heastan, who resides at Moose Pass, is putting in busy season, en- gagged in building a road from Mile 15 on the Moose-Pass Sunrise trail, to his property, which adjoins that of Gilpatrick and Brown. MT. Heastan suffered serious setback in his eff forts to develop his property, when a snowslide came down last spring and buried his mill, making it impossible for him to go ahead with actual de- velopment work until next season.
 Joe Wilson has a crew of four or five men with him now working his rich placer claims.
 There are thirty-two men employ ed building the road, which starts at Moose Pass station and will continue to Hope. Twelve surveyors are engag- ed in the work of laying out the route of the road, which will be completed as far as Mile 20 this year. It is stated that the greatest grade will not be over seven per cent.
 This road will prove a great boon to the district and will encourage more extensive development of the properties already discovered as we'll as offering great inducements to the prospector.
 MT. Gilpatrick states that many peo- pie have visited the district this year and everyone expressed the belief that they had seen the most beautiful coun- try in the world.

FOUR FISH TRAPS SEIZED BY AGENTS OF
 U. s. GOVERNMENT
VIM. P. STUDDERT EXERTS OFFI- CAL POWER TO ELIMI-
 NATE ILLEGAL FISHING
Anchorage Daily Timesl


 While engaged in patrolling the Cook Inlet region last Sunday, Wm. P. Studdert, bureau of fisheries agent in Southwestern Alaska, apprehended four traps illegally fishing during the closed period provided by the White fisheries bill, and seized traps and trap sites, salmon, appurtenances and equipment. He also placed the watch men under arrest and left the traps in charge of government deputies.
 According to MT. Studdert two of the traps found operating were own ed by Libby McNeil and Libby, one by the Northwestern Fisheries, and one privately owned and operated by Russian Priest.
 Mir. Studdert arrived in Anchorage early this week in connection with the seizures and legal action has been in stituted, looking to the forfeiture of the articles seized.
 Law is Specific
 Under the White fisheries bill no traps are permitted to operate be- tween six o'clock Saturday morning and 6 a. m. Monday. The law for merly provided for thirty-six hours closing period each week, but the new measure provides for full AS hours.
 The penalty imposed for violation of the close dfishing period amounts to $5,000 fine, ninety days in jail, or confiscation of all equipment. Mir. Studdert declares rigid patrol will be enforced during the fishing sea- son, as the government is determined to enforce the law and to punish all violators. The closed fishing period permits enough fish to escape the trap as to insure a goodly number reaching the spawning grounds. With the continuation of the regulations now in force an reasonable observa tion of the law by the fishermen, MT. Stoddert believes it will not be long before Cook Inlet will again b. plenti- fully stocked with salmon.

WARSHIPS HELP
 GUARD SHANGHAI
fContinued from page Onel

are proceeding to that port, moving as neutral ships but prepared to act swiftly in the event they are called upon to protect their respective na- tionals, commercial and trade interests, now menaced by danger of hostilities between military forces commanded by two provincial governors.
 The diplomatic agents of the four governments already have advised the Picking foreign office "that the idea of naval battle in the greatest harbor of the east was unthinkable and could not be tolerated" pointing out that Shanghai waters constitute one vast harbor in which the ships of every na- tion float and that the present status not be regarded with equanimity by them.
 The situation now developing at Shanghai is attributed by officials here familiar with conditions in China to an intense rivalry which has existed to their knowledge for year or more between Generals Chi Hsich- Yuan and Lu Yung- Hsiang, military governors, re- spectively, of Kiangsu and Cheikiang, adjoining provinces.
 A conflict between them, it is feared, would tend to throw other provincial forces into the struggle and, it is said, might result possibly in general war fare in China.
 The question at issue between the two provincial leaders is said to re- solve itself practically into a contest between them for the military control of Shanghai.
