Lon Doggett left Tuesday morning with one man to re- sume development on his promising Border Group, near the boundary line at 13 Mile. A cross cut tunnel started last summer will be extended to tap a highly mineralized ore zone, which surface outcrops indicate to be approximately 35 feet or more in width. The tunnel is now in 60 feet, with the face apparently about 35 or 40 feet from the ore body.

ALASKA LEGISLATURE
 IS UNDER WAY

The seventh Alaska Legislat- Iure is now in full swing at Jun eau, with all members present save Senator Forrest J. Hunt, who has been granted a three weeks leave of absence owing Ito illness. The assembly was formally organized Monday and Tuesday of last week (Mch. 2-3). Senator Fred M. Aver, of Nome, was elected president of the Senate by unanimous vote. Mrs. Della 5. Chace was chosen for Secre- tary, May Wahl for assistant secretary, Rev Bruce for chap lain and R. M. Holley, ser geant-at-arms. Five clerks were also named.
 A sharp contest developed ov- CT the speakership in the house between Rep. Murry, of the Third Division and Rep. Ross of the Fourth. A compromise was effected later whereby Murry withdrew in favor of Rep. Wilcox of the Third Div ision and Ross was given the .chairmanship of the ways and means committee.
 { Lawrence G. Kerr, of Nome, was elected chief clerk of the house and Harry Morton, of Juneau, for assistant clerk. Rev. Kashevaroff, of Juneau, was selected for chaplain and Byron Olson for sergeant-at- arms. Five stenographers were also named.
 Governor Scott c. Bone deliv- cred a brief message on the third day of the session., advo- eating change in the present election law making the ability to read and write a necessary qualification for all electors. He also urged liberal support of the Alaska Agricultural Col lege and School of Mines, at Fairbanks, recommended the repeal of a number of obsolete laws and declared that few new laws are necessary at this time. Additional recommend ations were: to extend an in- vitation to the conference of Governors to visit Alaska next summer; enlarged quarters for the Alaska Library and Historical Museum, at Juneau, and the placing of a memorial stone to mark the burial ground of the late governor John G. Brady, of Sitka.
 The first move toward chang ing the election law was made during the first days of the ses- sion by Rep. Grant, who intro duced a voting qualification bill, which provides that the voter must sign his name in the registration books. The purpose appears to be to test whether the voter can read and write.
 The advices say fewer bills than usual will be introduced during the session.

FORMER HYDERITE
 FOUND DEAD IN
 LONELY SPOT

John Groelinger, miner, pros pector and old time resident of Alaska, who was formerly a resident of this section, was found dead March 9th, on the Wards Cove road, near Ketch- ikan, with what is believed to be,a self-inflicted bullet wound in his forehead, according to Ketchikan advices received in the last mail.
 Groelinger, had been missing since February 24, prior to which he had displayed evi- dences of despondency. The body was found by two Sunday outing parties, in a reclining position in a small cove where the tide rose to a height to cov- CT portion of the body. A .25 calibre revolver from which one shot had been fired lay on the ground between his legs. The body lay in such posit- ion that to the casual observer it looked as though the man were sleeping or resting with his hat drawn over his eyes. From the condition of the re- mains it appeared he had been dead close to two weeks. A search of his home revealed he had left a vague note to Jack Bailey, a friend, referring to bygone family troubles and declaring he would take the blame for it all." It was signed Goodbye: John Groelinger." His effects were in perfect ord CT. He left a rough will made February 23, and witnessed by neighbors, who did not know it's contents, in which he be- queathed half his property to two Ketchikan friends, and the remainder to his brother in Germany, of which country he was a native.

H. G. White, who has been engaged for more than two months in thoroughly sampling the Dunwell, left Thursday for Victoria to report on his find ings.
 According to reports the de- parture of MT. White was somewhat hastened by the re-. ceipt of a telegram from the company requesting him to re- port on his findings as soon as possible. This is taken to mean that a deal for the property is under way.

CONGRESS REFUSES
 EXTEND ROAD ACT
 TO ALASKA

The measure providing for the extension of the Federal Aid Road Act to Alaska was killed by the 68th Congress, after four years struggle to se- cure it's passage, according to Colonel Jas. G. Steese, presi- dent of the Alaska Road Com mission, who recently returned to Juneau from Washington, D. c. During his two months stay in the capitol Col. Steese made every possible effort to secure consideration of the proposal, backed by memorials from the Territorial legislature and the legislatures of several western states; and also by resolutions secured by him from the annual conventions of the American Road Builders Association but could achieve no results, the Committee on Roads refusing to consider the extension of the act to Alaska on the same basis as other states. In explanation of the Committees view point, Col. Stees is reported in the Juneau Empire as follows:
 This action is readily under stood when one realizes that upon the same basis as other states, Alaska, due to it's great extent of unoccupied land, would receive a larger fund for road construction, between four and five million dollars per year, than any of the great industrial states such as New York and Pennsylvania.
 During the last two years ef- forts have been concentrated upon securing the extension of the federal aid upon a reduced area basis. but the Department of Agriculture has been unwill- ing to agree to terms favorable to the Territory or that result in more road funds than under existing arrangements.
 "In lieu therof, the appropri- ations Committee of both the Senate and House. of Repre- sentatives agreed to a greatly increased appropriation for road and trail construction un- der the Alaska Road Commis- sion. They also passed perma- nent legislation authorizing the creation of obligations be- ginning on March 1st every year against the next years prospective appropriation"
 Col. Steese stated that new federal appropriations were secured for road work during the current year as follows:
 Deficiency 5 5000 Regular 100000 Mckinley Nat'l Park 18O,OOO Alaska Fund 125,000
 Total 5 1,26O,OOO
 The above does not include funds from Territorial cooper ation estimated at$110,000.

GIVES CORRECTED
 FIGURES ON POWER
 PLANT PROPOSAL

In a communication to the Herald MT. P. R. Backus, en- Igineer in charge of the recent survey Of the Soule Glacier Creek, hydro-electric power proposal, calls attention, to a number of errors in a recent article devoted to that import ant project.
 MT. Backus states that the figures given relative to the ay- craze flow of the stream at the time of the survey are not in accord with his report, from which most of the data was ob- tained.
 In place of a minimum aver age of 80 cubic feet per second, as given in the article referred to, his readings, he says, gave 60 cubic feet per second above the lower dam site and so cub- ic feet per second at two points in the lower of the two can yons and below the dam site. These figures do not show that under the then existing ex- treme low water conditions the flow alone would assure $500 horsepower. On the contrary, these figures disclose that, with a dam built at the upper end of the lower canyon, the flow of the stream under sim liar low-water conditions could not be depended upon to pro- vide only a little more than 1000 horse power. However, by building a dam at the upper canyon, he says, the storage capacity so secured would be great enough to assure an an- nual minimum of consider ably over $500 horse power, even with an allowance of from two to three months for low water. He also points out that his report does not indi- cate that a dam at the upper canyon 100 feet high would back the water up for two or three miles, as indicated in the newspaper article. To accomp- fish this object a dam 150 feet high would be necessary.
 MT. Backus also takes except ion to the statement made re- garding the probable number of acre feet of storage which would be secured by means of a dam built at the upper canyon, stating that his report did not give any probable acre feet of storage, as accurate fig ures could not be obtained save by a careful survey.
 In disavowing the last state ment Mir. Backus is quite cor rect as the figures given were not contained in his report and were derived from other sour ces of information.
