CONTINENT MAY BE FOUND BY
 ARCTIC PARTY

NEW YORK, May 21.-(P)-Donald MacMillan, who is here during the christening of his polar ship, the Peary, said that he believed the vast unexplored continent has possible million miles area, which lies west of northern Greenland, and added that, "Commodor Robert Peary names it Crockerland, but I have only indi- rect evidence of it's existence. Both Peary and myself have seen the mirage and reflection of it in the sky repeatedly, and the action of the tides and the condition of ice sur- rounding the area is additional sci entific indications of it's existence"
 The area is impossible for ships and dog teams and therefore planes are being taken along to establish a base at Etah, the farthest northern post inhabited so far by planes.
 From Cape Thomas Rubbary, daily flights in the summer will be made to seek land, and on the return of the expedition, MacMillan will ex- plore Labrador in an effort to find the Morse ruins that have been re- ported by esquimaux.

AID TO MINERS ADVOCATED BY
 SEATTLE CLUB

SEATTLE, May 21 (P-Systematic aid to prospectors and miners was advocated yesterday at meeting of the Seattle Mining Club. Vice Presi- dent Elemdorf said, Something of this sort was worked out by residents of Boulder, Colo, to revive mining in that district. Although only $50 per month was offered, I am informed that more seasoned prospectors than could be used applied"
 President Leehey called prospect ing the Nursery of the mining in- dustry" John D. Hull also advocated aid to prospectors Other speakers included Tom Aitken, Lee Steele, Frank Way, Chester F. Lee and Chris Tjosevig
 Leehey BIames War for Slump
 Leehey blamed postwar tendency to invest surplus profits in bonds and stocks and tax free securities for the slump in mining. He said the pros pector, like others, wanted a reason able profit on their hunt for golden wealth. He said that prospectors however, should be willing to sell their discoveries at a reasonable price. He added that Alaska could not be developed without some mar ket for agriculture, which would de- pend on the mines, which in turn de- pend upon the prospector.
 J. W. Whitehead of Cordova, said one of the greatest troubles encoun- tered in the north was the high prices the prospector has been compelled to pay for his supplies and equipment since the war.
 Legislator R. N. Sundquist of Nome. stated that Alaska was reducing it's taxes so as to make the territory more attractive to mining investors, and declared today that Alaska boasted the lowest taxes on mining enterprises of any country under the American flag. He declared Alaska was on the verge of a mining gloom, and report ed large syndicate had been organ ized in Saint Louis to finance on a large scale prospecting in Alaska. w. T. Perkins will be president at 1 the next meeting when a Nome pro-
 gram will be developed.
