The long tunnel on the sebakwe property (known also as the BusI and National silver) has penetrat- ed the northern extension of the great B. c. Silver ore body. striking the vein in a high-grade area. At latest reports, reliable though un- official, the vein had been crosscut ten feet without the footwall be- ing encountered. The ore is said to be quartz-porphyry typical of the Premier and B. c. Silver and car rying argentite, ruby and native silver, and is undoubtedly a high grade product.

HARRY SAITO HELD IN
 FEDERAL JAIL ON A
 DEPORTATION WARRANT

H. B. LeFevre, an attorney of Juneau, is in town this week. MT. LeFevre came to Wrangel1 at the instance of the Japanese consul, to look into the case of Harry Saito, a Japanese, who is being held here on a warrant of deportation. It is understood that the warrant for Saito's deportation was issued on grounds and for causes principally which antedate his recent trial here for criminal trespass.
 It seems there has been some misunderstanding on the part of some persons regarding Saito's im- prisonment following his last trial before the local U. S. Commissioner. He was tried for criminal trespass on tide lands and found guilty by a jury. The Commissioner did not give him a jail sentence as has been reported, but assessed his pun ishment at a fine of $10 and costs It was in default of the payment of the fine and costs that the de- fendant was committed (not sen tenced) to jail.
 The Sentinel is not fully inform ed as to the grounds on which the Immigration authorities instituted deportation proceedings. Saito is reported to have been in jail in Everett, Wash, before coming to Alaska, and this is by no means the first time he has been in jail in Wrangell.

A disastrous fire occurred Tues day morning when three residence buildings owned by Wesley sorn- berger on stikine avenue were wip- cd out by fire.
 The fire originated from a drain pipe being thawed out under the house by Mr Sornberger. The flames spread almost instantly to all parts of the building and the fire burned with such fury that 1t was not possible to salvage any of the contents of the buildings.
 The Wrangell Fire Department responded promptly. but according to Mir. sornberger, the fire had gained such headway before the alarm was turned in that there was no hope of saving his buildings. However, had it not been for the prompt and efficient work of the Fire Department the flames would

Authorities are somewhat uncer-
tain as to the exact cause of the
bodily disturbance which results in
trouble like yours. Some think that
1t comes from incomplete digestion
of food containing purin bodies and
others think that the system cannot
properly take care of food lime.
More lately, these same authorities
are beginning to feel that the dis
ease comes from chronic infection,
although no one knows just how the
infection can cause deformity Of the
joints.
The diet planned with this theory
as a basis is largely one of general
building up so as to help the system
get rid Of the infection. Unfortu-
nately such a plan calls for consider
able in the body. 1 cannot prescribe
a special diet; can tell you that your
diet should be a good all-round gen.
eral one, simply taking care not to
overdo in the matter of fat, but being
equally careful to keep the body very
well nourished. 1t may be that, since
