the town how much further would 1t not go, than to sit and deliver the verbal message that the town is dead, that 1t has not any resources, that the government is holding us down that we have never had a chance.
 It is up to us to show loyalty to our town and to each other. What do outsiders think when they come into town and hear the majority of the people whining they are held down by the government, they have not any resources, that so and So controls the town and the rest fol- low like sheep, but they have mon- ey involved in this or that and they have to stay. Let us show a spirit of loyalty and cooperation to out siders and try practice the same at home. The first attempt might be difficult and meet with rebuffs but in the end, will succeed.

Secretary Richey to Return
 North In the Near Future
s ACCOMPANYING FISHERIES PARTY IN AN UNOFFICIAL
 CAPACITY

Lawrence Richey, assistant secre- tary to Herbert Hoover, who is a member of the distinguished party of government officials on an inspection of the fisheries of the Territory, is ac- companying the party solely as an ob- server, and as a representative of Secretary Hoover. This is his first trip to Alaska and he is very much impressed with what he has seen.
 Two years ago he was on the verge of coming North when he was sud- denly called to Europe. Last year he stated business prevented him from making the journey, so when the op- portunity arose a few weeks ago, he grasped 1t. Aside from his duties as secretary to perhaps the most out standlng figure at Washington, next to the President, MT. Richey finds tune occasionally to contribute short stories and articles to various publi- cations, In this respect he is quite we'll known in literary circles.
 MT. Richey said he had little to talk about as this trip is in an unoffi- cal capacity, but when he returned again, which he intends to do in the near future, he hopes to have some thlng of more importance to say.

HOW OCCUPATIONS CHANGE

Seventy years is not a relatively long time in the life of a nation such as ours, yet so rapidly have industri- al conditions changed that within the period since 1850 the occupations of the people of the United States have been radically altered.
 Many trades which formerly pro- vided employment for large numbers have almost disappeared while oth- CTS, unheard of seventy years ago, have grown to vast proportions, as shown by census reports recently re- viewed.
 Occupations which have shown a marked reduction in the number of persons employed in proportion to population include those of shop wood workers, marble and stone cut ters, wheelwrights, coopers and black smiths. The village blacksmith, for merly an important adjunct of com munity life, has almost vanished from many sections.
 A tremendous increase is shown in the proportion of machinists, while electricians, automobile mechanics and chauffeurs, airplane artiflcers and moving picture operatives have taken leading places in the indus trial scheme.
 In proportion to popula ton plumb CTS have increased nearly 25 times, architects seven times, barbers, hair dressers four times. Clergymen, law yers and physicians have maintained a fairly steady average, as have car penters and joiners.
 Few women were employed out side their homes in 1850, excepting as teachers, so that all engaged in other occupations at present practic- ally represent net gain.
 What of the future? Will new in- ventions again revolutionize indus try and employment as the automo- bile, typewriter, moving pictures, electrical appliances and other epoch making inventions have done?
 The question is interesting, but we must wait for the answer.

DIsLoYALTY TO A TOWN
(From Sitka Tribune.)

The word disloyalty should be one that every one that has any sense of honor should shudder to hear. Dis loyalty can be used in so many diff ferent ways not only pertaining to our country, our friends but to our selves. One that is disloyal to him. self can never be loyal to anything whether ideals, humanity or facts. A person that cannot cooperate with others for the benefit of his town is disloyal to his town, himself and his family.
 Loyalty and cooperation go hand in hand. How is it that large cor porations are founded? On the basis of loyalty and cooperation. Other wise it would be impossible to make it success.
 All thru life We do many things we do not like, but if we exist and have others depending upon us we must do them. Every one cannot always do things to suit themselves, for no matter where we turn or what we do there are others to think of beside ourselves. Disloyalty is in many ways only another form of self ishness. To make a town go ahead we must be loyal and cooperate. Many own property have their per. manent home here and own business. It is all right to think of yourself when one is single but when one has a family they must look ahead into the future and plan to make their town a place where children are contented to stay. Parents general ly dread that parting that eventually, will come between them and their children. Especially when the town any hope of it growing. The young are determined to try their wings and go some place where they feel they will make success. If we desire to keep the young with us we must be loyal to our town and cooperate. That is the only hope for the towns in Alaska because if we will not help ourselves the Govern ment surely will not get in and do it for us. It is easy to sit in a chair and deliver our opinions of what we think ought to be done but not so easy to get in and do it, and yet if everyone got in and cooperat- ed and showed a little more than the usual amount of loyalty towards

 PROMINENT MlLLMAN
RESIGNS HIS POSITION
Graduate of Alaska College Tells of New Gold camp-Road Com
 mission Building Road

August Hess, former milHman ln charge of the Alaska Hills Mines Cor poration at Nuka Bay, resigned his position last week and is now busi- ness visitor in Seward for few days prior to his departure for the lnte- rior. Tn review of the region and of those properties he has visited and those of which he has heard, MT. Hess who is graduate of the mining course of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines gave the folloW- ing to The Gateway for publication.
 'The Alaska Hills Mines Corpora tion is located on the north arm or Nuka Bay. The mine workings pro- per are on the west bank of the creek. There are two tunnels being driven the lower one being about 600 feet above the creek level and the upper tunnel is about 100 feet above the lower one.
 The Alaska Road Commission is building a very good trail to open up that part of the region and work on it is progressing rapidly. When com pleted it will be possible to pack sup plies anytime of the year to the ground. The property is equipped with Warrington ball mill, a Blake crusher, classifer and a Deistes con- centrator. The power for the plant is furnished by a Pelton water wheel, connected by belt to the ball mill and crusher, and operated under an 8O-foot head of water from nearby gulch
 Blocking Out Ore
 'The mine is being developed by the two tunnels, the lower one being driven in POO feet. The vein is two feet in width and shows good values. Samples taken from the face shows considerable free gold The upper tunnel is in 80 feet with the ore body. four feet wide. Raises are being put in and the ore is being blocked out for stopeing. The mill is running two shifts, day, and night The country rock of the ore body is principally graywack and slate. Free gold is found associated with the sulphides. Arsenopyrites is the principal sul- phide, galena sphalerite and pyrite be- ing subordiate.
 An Ideal Country
 James, Foster and associates have some very promising property just below the Alaska Hills ground and below Fosters claim is the Skeen- Harrington property. Some of the samples taken from the latter ground is extremely rich, gold being scattered all through the rock. Nuka Bay of fers great opportunities for the pros pector and investor For the small amount of work done in the district, there is no other camp which shows such good prospects. Most of these have been found close to the waters edge, making transportation easy to the properties. There is ample tim Der and water for the mines and buildings, and water power is found in abundance"

BIG PLACER MINE DREDGE Al
WEAVERVlLLE

The first placer mining dredge In
the history of Arizona, according to
local mining men, soon will be in
operation at the Weaver placer mines
near the Octave mine and about II
miles east of Congress Junction. A
Los Angeles company, headed by DR..
Armstrong, has purchased a group of
claims there and already has install
ed the dredge and the other neces-
sary machinery, preparatory to doing
considerable work.
The road from Congress Junction
to the mine already has been wild
ened, much work having been done
there, and three car loads OF mine
machinery have been trucked to the
placer location. This includes n
three-Quarter yard steam shovel, a
steam plant and an amalgamator.
The company purchased a five-ton
truck to haul the machinery from
the railroad to the mine.
Water for the mining activity is
secured from Antelope Creek, about
four miles from the placer location
being brought to the property thru
four inch pipe line.

WHY NOT CALL It
MAR|COPA VALLEY?
Preserve Its Ancient Histori-
cal Memories and Old Rem
iniscenceS.

The following from a local daily il
lustrates the disposition to change the
name of Salt River Valley. It also
comedies with our editors views
printed from time to time in the Ari-
zona State Miner during period Of
several years. The first newspaper
to suggest this change of name for
Salt River Valley was the Wicken-
burg Miner, as published from back
files Of that paper last week. A num-
Der Of people interviewed lately favor
the change of name, but see no SEN
timent Of reason in making the issue
a political one wherein Republicans
and Roosevelt should swallow up all
historical "reminiscences of Arizona.
Our editors suggestion was to main
tain the time hOnOred custom of per.
petuating the historical antiquity of
Arizona and its rise in the progress
OF Western States. The writer below
seems to favor our suggestion that
the name Maricopa would more ap-
propriately cover the desire in change
of names:
April 25, 1925.
Editor Arizona Republican,
Dear Sir:-With Mr.. Brophy's con-
sent, should like to enroll in his
hitherto unorganized majority which
he hopes is opposed to the suppress
sion of the name Salt River Valley,
and which he so ably represents.
If, as many seem to believe, the
name as used in advertising matter
carries an unfavorable suggestion,
why not stop advertising the Salt
River Valley as such, and instead,
advertise Maricopa County The
county, as you suggest in your edi-
torial, embraces many developments,
agricultural pastoral and mineral,
which the Salt River Valley does not
properly include.
"Maricopa" is q good word, easy to
spell and easy to pronounce, and 1T
carries q pleasing suggestion of the
West San Francisco advertises all Of
northern California under the name
of Californians, Inc, and heaven only
knows just what Los Angeles does
take in. Surely, then, the Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce can cover all
Of Maricopa county
If and when it is desired to desig-
nate specifically that portion of the
county adjacent to the pipeline car
rying Verde water into Phoenix, (it
being admitted by all that the name
salt River Valley" is a sIanderous
misnomer), the name Roosevelt Tr-
rigation Project" can be employed.

PRODUCERS LACK ORGANIZATION
TO COMPETE WITH FOREIGN
@AnnEN

''The history of mining Is one Of
peaks and depressions with no stabil-
ity, but with fair average prices over
a period of years says Robert E.
Tally, general manager of the United
Verde Copper company.
'The great need Of the industry Is
stabilization. Production should be
adjusted to consumption, and produc-
ers should not permit inflated prices,
as initiation always causes reaction.
"The ideal condition for the metal
market is reasonable prices with rela-
lively normal demand and costs. It
should be permissible for producers
collectively to curtail when the mar
ket warrants. This policy is now con-
sidered Illegal Curtailment should
not be permissible If for the sole
purpose of increasing prices to the
extent of removing competition and
restraining trade.
"The mining industry has been an
important factor in the development
Of the West, but it will retain it's
position only as long as the industry
remains profitable. Our copper and
silver mines have to compete with
low-cost foreign producers who enjoy
many natural advantages, such as
large tOnnages of higher grade ores,
cheap labor, low taxes and in most
cases, water transportation"

'AViators Successful With Radio . in Planes

Chicago, June 13 Pl-Telephone communication between airplane pilots flying 4,00O feet in the air and radio station WLS, was main- tained clearly over a distance of 1l0 miles during the military show here recently. When the army flyers descended at Chanute field, the re- ception was still strong, indicating that intermittent talking might have been continued over a greater distance.
 The previous record for commun- ication between land station and an airplane by radio was 40 miles. Spectators at the show were listen CTS in during the tests, the radio station rebroadcasting the conversa- tions. This was another feat said by radio engineers 10 have been suc- cessfully performed for the first time.
 The army planes used a 50 watt master oscillator sending set, with three 54, watt tubes, an oscillator, modulatOr and speech amplifier. in addition to watt amplifier. The radio station used neutrodyne re- ceiying set while the army men used an army S-tube super hetrodyne for receiving. A two pound lead weight held down the antenna. Within the city limits the planes had a 50 foot wire over the side, which was ex- tended to a 200 foot aerial as they got farther away.
 The officer in the front seat of the airplane, by means of ear phones, could hear both conversa- tions, the talking of his companion and the conversation from the land station.
