The Wrangell sentinel., 1925-10-22
That Such Road Is Necessary if the Cassiar Is Ever to Be Given Justice Is the Opinion of J. H. Hawthorn thwaite, Former Member of Parlia. liament, Who Spent the Past Season in the District.

1 mining operations on a large scale until something is done.
 The road from Telegraph Greek to Dease Lake, notwithstanding the expenditures that have been made on it the last couple of years, is in very bad condition, so much so indeed that this fact alone would account largely for the number of men who returned discouraged without ever even seeing the gold fields. The COT obstruction of this i road, however, will not be enough to open up this district It is my be- lief, as we'll as that of the engineers who accompanied me, that if this district is ever to be given justice a railroad should be built from Gle nora or Telegraph Creek to Dease Lake. This would not only be a powerful factor in opening up the district, but would provide employ ment for many hundreds of men and thus enable them to get grub stakes so that they could stay on the mining grounds. In the Cassiar the prices of the necessities of life are absolutely prohibitive to the ordinary prospector or miner, and the only sure method of getting over this difficulty is through inn proved transportation. Horse trails should be built from Dease Lake to the outlying prospects, and good roads should be built into the es- established fields such as Gold Pan, Dease and McDame creeks.
 The Harrington Transportation Company provide ingress to the country through Telegraph Creek by maintaining small fleet of river boats on the Stikine. If it were not for this fact it would be practically impossible for miners. let alone mining compa nies, to op- crate at all in that country. This y1a e ha ough support of both governments and all those who are interested in developing that country The Bar ringtons have operated on the Stikine, I am told, for ten years, and how they have maintained such an excellent service is surprising to me.
 With regard 10 the country it. self, it was quite impossible for our party to go into every mining cen ter However, we went down the Dease River to the Liard and se- cured a number of rich silver lead claims. We have not had opportu- nifty to assay any of the samples we took, but the lodges are undoubted- ly high grade.
 Our next objective was McDame Creek. and guided by John Hamil- ton, we secured several miles of bench claims covering old channels in that vicinity. The old miners, and miners generally, used to talk a great deal about these old channels but no serious attempt has ever been made up to he present time to prove their values. One of our en- gineers. MT. Thomas Budge, devoted his time to this work. He has sketched the contours of the noun tains and benches for many miles around. and has taken approxi- mately their positions. In classify ing these benches he has divided them into pre-glacial, glacial, and post-glac cial. and when his work is completed knowledge and light will be thrown upon these occurrences If it can be established, and 1t can, in which of these periods the gold

AutOist Knocks Man
Unconscious and
Speeds from Scene

Wallace Ward, the 20 year old son
of Oficer Ward of the augusta Police
force was knocked unconscious by a
fast driven Ford automobile about
$40 last evening on the Hallowell
road short distance below the
car barn and the car continued on
its course without stopping. The
identity Of the driver was not learn
ed. Had it not been that the youth
was with a companion he might
have been killed as the force OF the
blow was such that he was thrown
against the rails of the electric road
and one arm lay across the rails.
Just at that time the electric car
driven by Motorman Mcintosh came
along and Mcintosh saw the body
OF the young man. He applied his
brakes and as he did 50 his compan-
lon pulled the unconscious form
away from the rails.
b. +. Stubar of Gardiner who was
passing, stopped and took the in
jured youth to his home. He was
apparently suffering at that time
from a bad cut on the side of his
head but was able to walk into the
house. Later his condition was such
that an ambulance was called and
he was taken to the Augusta General
hospital.

|STRANGLE HOLD

Growers Collect S2.73 From

( N AKRON, Ohio, June 19.-Three
hundred million dollars as profit for
the British rubber growers for the
year 1921
(. This is the burden that the Amer
lean public is being compelled to
sshoulder.
It comes as a result of stagger-
ing increase in the price of raw
rubber-an increase that is due to an
ironclad monopoly which the Britons
have on the rubber supply of the
world.
X In 1924 the United States rubber
CONSUMERS paid 5000, 100000 for their
Erubber. This year, according to fig
lures tabulated by the India Rubber
Review and concurred in by manu-
facturers here. the bill will be over
$500, 100000. q flat increase Of
$500, 100000
4: The total sum Uncle Sam expects
to collect from income taxes this
year:is only about $e0O,ooQo00.
81 Heavy Tribute
!: The per capita income tax pay
haent for 1925 is estimated at about
$5.58, The per capita share in the
$800,000,000 tribute levied by the
British rubber growers is $2,73.
. Thus, each individual in the
United States is paying almost ex-
hctly half as much to the rubber
t1ioncpoly, as profit, as he is to his
F5wr government as taxes.
III What will be the results?
I'll Ask any tire manufacturer here
and he will shake his head.
The rubber industry is facing a
mighty hard year. Leaders won't
discuss 1t freely, but it Is admitted
that there will be a number of con-
solidations and possibly failure.
N Two increases in the price Of
tires have already been made this
year. Further increases are ex-
pected to follow Every other type
Of rubber goods is also expected to
