ALASKA ENTERS
ACTIVE PERIOD

SEWARD. Alaska, June IS
Maurice ID. Leehey, prominent Alas
kan and attorney of Seattle inter
ested in northern mining, said I'VE
are entering the most active period
in the mining development of the
West and Alaska since 1906. This
is not merely my opinion but the
opinion of the most active mining
men of the nation such as Con Kel-
ly, President of the Anaconda Com
pany and John j. Gray of Couer
d 'Alene.
I'm the last two years, the con-
sumption OF copper has been greater
than the boom production during
the World War. The demand for
zinc and platinum has increased the
last year
alaska has produced over half of
the palladium metal of the world
and the demand for that metal is
growing apace through the discovery
of new uses for it.
THE industry gives real promise
to increase This is positive
assurance. Alaska Will prosper by
it and 1t will be a permanent pros
perity."
Mr.. Leehey remains here 10 days
before returning to Seattle.

 Feeling Runs High
 Feeling runs so high that the slightest provocat;on is apt to cause trouble. For instance, the gasoline tank of an automobile outside the church of the Sacred Heart ex- ploded last night while the congre- gation was praying just before the departure of the priests. The excited crowd, thinking the detonation was that of a bomb, or the commence ment of battle, rushed outside the edifice, apparently ready for any thing.
 A few of the Commitments were bruised in the jam.

 After fighting their way through the people and successfully perform ing their mission of closing the an- neXes, the officials proceeded to other churches, Senor Ortega per, sonally supervising their work.
 One problem yet to be solved win come up when the priests .urn over their buildings and other property to committees of laymen, because the government refuses to recognize the committees appointed by the priests and has ordered committees Banned by the mayor of each town to take over the church.
 It is certain that the priests will turn over the churches to some com mittee today but whether the priests or municipal committee will have control, is yet to be seen.
