 Aston took out fifty thousand dol lars from the gold placer fields Of Upper Aldan River, which Is two thousand miles from Vladivcstok, but was only allowed one hundred dollars when he sailed fro !.ns- sian soil. He states. "I still am al lowed a bank account at Vladivos- tok and have the promise Of the government that I can draw one hun dred dollars per month as long az the account lasts, but that Is only a Soviet promise.

Life in the new gold fields was worse than anything he had ever seen in his twenty years of exper- fence in Alaska. Murders are a daily occurrence. and men live like animals. When he vas asked what he was going to do next. he replied "well I'm taking the next boat back home to Alaska"
