A bottle cf crude oil and sack of samples of oil shale from the oil district near Mccarthy was brought into Mccarthy recently by William Henry, and provides proof of oil in that district. The oil was taken to Kennecott to be analyzed. The shale samples are apparently very rich in oil, for by breaking small pieces in the fingers free cil is dis closed which may be burned with a match, the odor given off being strc ngly tarlike. Men who are ae quainted with the section state that shale of the same general appear ance as these samples may be found on Dan and Young creeks and over an area of many miles on the Nizina River. Henry states he obtained the oil and shale samples from land immediately joining his home stead at print approximately nine miles from Mccarthy about one mile from the Nozina river on it's right limit.

Sulphur in s.W. Alaska

Sulphur claims have been record ed in three localities in Southwest ern Alaska-in the crater of Maku- shin volcano on Unalaska Island, on Akun island, and near Stepoyak Bay on the Alaska peninsula. These deposits are of the volcanic type termed solfataras formed by sublimation from hot, sulphurous. VIC lcanic yapors. They are situated in the beds of active and qulescent vo1canos that extend thrs ughout the Alaska peninsula and Aleutian islands, Similar deposits undoubt- ediy occur at other localities in this belt The deposits mentioned above are described by W. c.

Barite Filler for Paper

Barite is used as a filler fer pa per An interesting deposit of barite Is located on Kupreanpf Isl and, Southeastern Alaska. This de- posit forms a rock mass on a small island connected with the rest of the island by a low, narrc W neck. about 200 feet long. that is covered with water to a depth of from five to ten feet at high tide. A rough calculation, based on measurements by pacing, indicates that there should be more than 5O.000 short tons of barite available above the high tide level.
 A shear zone containing some quartz and barite is reported to 6c- cur one and a half miles west Of Crab Bay on Annette Island in Southeastern Alaska. The barite is white and has a granular crystal line texture resembling that of Ku- preanof Island.

Worth Investieating

The non-metallies are worth in vestigating and the prospector ana mining engineer should be on the watch for depr sits while in his search for metallics. It is advisable to do research work in order to de termine the possibility of finding non-metallic and metallic to con. vert into the proper chemicals that are essential to the paper and pulp industry and that might be close to a manufacturing site.
 Thus 1t is to be anticipated that the development cf the pulp indus try in Southeastern Alaska will re sult in subsidiary development oi the necessary mineral resources to supply this industry.

Stairs Too Straight.

H. C. sends an anecdote which
he says was related to him by the
late John Sargent. Among those
present at a party at Sargent's
house one evening was Whistler.
He had dined royalty and was
very merry. Suddenly he thought
of an important note he had to
write, and asking to be excused
he started for the library. A mo-
ment later the other guests were
startled by hearing a series of
bumps ending in heavy thud at
the foot of the stairs. Sargent
rushed out, picked him up and
asked if ne was hurt.
"Hurt?" said Whistler, rubbing
his head, well, I'm not dead, it
that's what you mean; but tell me
who built those stairs?"
Sargent mentioned the name of
a builder unknown to Whistler, or
to fame
"He did, did he?" said Whistler.

Ministers
And Business
Cergymen .Enjoined Not to
Sell Stocks, Pianos or
Real Estate.
Most People Over-Eat

Asserting that most people eat
too much and comparing some
persons to silos, Bishop Edwin H.
Hughes urged abstinence and fast
ing on a new class of clergymen
at the Goth annual conference of
the New Jersey Methodist Episco-
pal Church.
Most people are eating too
much anyway" he said in enjoin-
ing abstinence by precept and ex-
ample as a vital necessity upon
the young clergymen.
Some people are like human
silos," he continued. Keep your
bodies under and make your souls
emperors."
In the class were: Albert l..
Baynard, of Aura; A. L. Vance,
Cross Keys; John p. Langley
Wildwood; Walter A. Pine, Port
Elizabeth; Lewis W. Henck
Jamesburg, and R. A. Anderson
NaVeSlnk.
In questioning the new minis,
tiers upon their readiness to sub
nit themselves to the discipline
of the Church, Bishop Hughes
made reference to the practice,
which is common in some sections
of the State, of minister going
into business as side line to
boost his income. This is contra
ry to the policy of the Church, he
said, as it tends to divert his at
tention from his church work.
Don't sell stocks or pianos or
real estate" said the Bishop.
You are not called upon to be
business men in the secular sense.
You are ministers of God"

PRIZE CONTEST
Being Planned For Boosting
Union Label

Frank Witte, Jr., of Clown cigar
cite fame, and John Partridge were
visitors in the city this week in the
interest of prize contest which is
being formed for the purpose OF
boosting the union label and the sale
of union made goods in general
Prizes including $500 as first and $1OC
cash as second prize, gas range, suit
of clothes, shirts, brooms, cigars
cigarettes, tobacco, ETC., will be given
the organization or individual collect
ing the greatest number of tobacco
cigar, cigarettes, baked goods labels
in specified time. In addition
places where the union card is dis
played or label is used, such as stores,
printing establishments, etc, will issue
coupons good for so many labels on
all purchases made
The purpose of the idea is to boost
the demand for the union label and
the sale of union-made goods. 1t looks
like a mighty fine thing for stirring
up union label demand. 1t is fine
chance too, for several organizations
to build up their treasury through a
little effort on the part of their mem
bers, and fine chance for several
individuals to cop some valuable
prizes. The exact date of the begin
ming and closing of the contest will
be announced later.

NORRIS Sees PLAN
TO "CRAB" SHOALS

Washington.-"It is matter Of
common gossip around the capitol
that private interests are attempting
a new grab at Muscle Shoals" said
Senator Norris. In supprot Of this
charge, the Nebraska lawmaker called
attention to support being given a
resolution passed by the house which
would create joint committee to deal
with proposed offers for Muscle Shoals
by private corporations.
The senator asserted that his bill
to save the Shoals for government
ownership is being antagonized by in
terests that desire to continue to
gouge the people through the subter-
fuge of making fertilizer for the farm
ers. They have no thought that any
large part of the power will ever be
used to produce fertilizer"
'In one case the gossip is so di-
rect as to indicate that the proposed
offer of one company is already drawn
and has been shown around the capi-
tai in advance of the legislation that
we are asked to pass" said Senator

Because of drives to be made b,

trustees of Mercy Hospital decided tc
postpone the drive for funds contem-
plated for that institution until Octo-
ber 10 to 16, 1926. This is made
known in letter to the public as
follows:

and received the approval of these
organizations.
For five years the trustees have
considered program of expansion.
and the year 1926 was chosen as the
time for campaign to provide the
necessary funds to complete that pro-
gram. A building committee consist
ing of &. A. Rentschler, Minor Beck
EFT, w. N. Andrews, Lucian Kahn and
DR.. Mark Millikin, has been appointed
for the purpose of outlining this
program, based on complete survey
OF the needs and requirements of
Mercy Hospital, after expert advice
has been received in order to deter
mine just what improvements are nee
essary to make Mercy Hospital an up
to-date and efficient institution for
the care of the sick and injured.
In the opinion of the board of trus-
tees, an appeal for funds at this time
would be ill-timed because of the i'm
mlnence of five announced campaigns
by various organizations and for
various purposes. AS result, we
have chosen the week of October 10
10, 1926, for the campaign in behalf
of Mercy Hospital, and it is hoped
that the many friends of Mercy Hos
pital will make such provisions as
will insure the success of this en-
deavor.
