U. S. SMELLING CO. PLANS
TO ENTER ALASKA FIELD

Although it is said that no
definite announcement can be
made at this time, there is
little doubt that one of the
largest mining corporations is
about to enter the Wrangell
field. j. G.. Calvin recently
succeeded in interesting the
United States Smelling, Re-
timing and Mining Company of
Boston, which is carrying on
mining operations on a large
'cale on several continents.
Matt Rees, one of the COM
oany's field men, were sent to
Wrangell early in the year to
make a report on certain prop
critics in Grounding Basin. His
report was so favorable that
Norman c. Shines, an engineer
of worldwide reputation who
holds a high position with the
company, went to Wrangell
personally to go over the.
ground and check up on the
report made by Rees. Calvin
recently took an option on GER
tain properties adjoining his
own in the Grounding Basin.
Shines, after going over the
several properties in the
Grounding, was so pleased
with the result of his exami-
nation that he took an option
on all the properties controIl-
ed by Calvin.

conditions to severe to resume
work on his properties in that

len in the hills during the past
few days, it is probable that
conditions are worse than at
the time of his visit.

Teachers in the Territorial
schools of Alaska will be ex.
empted from the payment of
income taxes on their salaries
if House Bill No. 10,4S2 be
comes law, it was recently
announced by Geo. A. Parks.
The Governor has telegraphed
his endorsement of the meas
ure to the Interior Depart
ment. The measure Governor
Parks said, was introduced in
the House on March 7, and
was referred to a Sub-commit-
tee. A hearing is scheduled to
be held on it in the near fut-
ure. The Governor is optimis-
tic on its chances passing both
branches of Congress. His at
tention was first called to the
measure when he was in Wash
ington. 1t was then being pre-
pared for introduction. When
he first saw it, it only applied
to teachers in the Terri .orial
schools of Hawaii. He immedi-
ately asked that it also be
drawn up to include Alaskan
teachers. This was done but
the bill had not been introduce
ed when he left for the North.
The measure does not give any
special preference to Alaskan
and Hawaiian teachers, Gov
enor Parks said. 1t merely
puts them on the same basis
as the teachers in schools in
the several states whose sala-
ries ar already excluded from
fderal income tax SCHEDULES. :

A. M & M. co. PLANS
EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT

Several leading officials of
the American Mining and Mill
ing Company. successor to the
holdings of the old Fish Creek
Mining Company, are expect
ed to arrive in Hyder within
q few days to look over the
ground and make final deter
mination of the summer de-
velopment program. Although
no authoritative statement can
be obtained regarding its con-
temptations, there appears
little doubt that the company
has a large scale development
program in view. including
the construction of a tramway
from. Fish Greek to the River
side mine.
AS previously reported in
these columns, the projected
tram is intended primarily for
the conveyance of supplies
and machinery, from the Sal
mon River road to Fish Creek,
but will also be employed in
transporting the high grade
surface ores found on the COM
pany properties to the River
isde mill for concentration and
shipment.
That the latter proposal is
actually contemplated is am
ply indicated by recent negoti-
atoms with the Riverside man.

RIVERSIDE MILL TO
HANDLE CUSTOMS ORES


president of the Bank of Hy-
der that arrangements had
been concluded between E. E.
Hall, Winnipeg capitalist, and
the Riverside Mining and
Milling Company, lessee of the
Riverside mine and mill,
whereby that we'll known
property will not only be en-
abled to operate at full capac-
ity but will also be placed in
a position to render immense
assistance in the development
of other properties in the dis
trict by the purchase of GUS
toms ores. In making the an
nouncement Mr.. Hall said:
"Since his arrival in Hyder
last week, Mr.. E. E. Hall, has
looked over the Riverside
imne and has agreed to furnish
the necessary funds to further
develop the property and en-
able its operation at full cap
acity..
While this in itself is a mat
ter Of considerable moment, /"
Mr. Hall continued, cit is over
Swallowed by a contemplation
of far greater Importance to
the future development and
prosperity of the district.
Not only do we expect to
place the Riverside in shape
tc operate the mill at its full
capacity of so tons per day,
but it is also especially intend
ed that, with the development
of the smaller mines, the COM
pany will enter the customs
field and will buy and mill all
available ore from other prop
critics in the district"
The company will be in a
position to pay cash for ores on
delivery, thus enabling the
miners with salable ores to re-
alize immediate returns from
their operations. This should
result in marked increase in
development, as it will permit
the small property owner to
commence production of ac-
cessible ores on an immediate
ly profitable basis and with a
minimum of expense. 1t is hop
ed that the resultant fuller de-
velopment of the districts min
eral resources will be such that
the milling capacity of the
Riverside can be enlarged,
which will be done as fast as
conditions warrant"
'It is my opinion" Mr.. Hall
added chat the opening of the
Riverside mill to customs work
will be of unreasonable bene-
fit to the district and should
do more to help the local
mining industry than any
single development that has so
far occurred. 1t gives the small
miner an opportunity to de-
velop his ground without the
usual large preliminary ex-
pense and on what may be
termed a pay as you go bas-
is that should result in the OPP
ening of many new properties
which cannot be operated
profitably under present con-
ditions."
Mr.. Hall stated that the ar
rangements for financing the
Riverside project do not in
volve any change in the man.

Anchorage Family Moves
 To Southeastern Alaska

MT. and Mrs. Leonard G. Peck, res idents of Anchorage for the last two years, passed through Seward Satur- day on their way to Juneau where, it is expected, they will locate perma- nently. Their small son accompan- jed them. MT. Peck arrived in Anch- orage from Fairbanks two years ago, and with his former partner, Milton Rice, embarked in the plumbing busi- ness. They were later bought out by H. c. Bennett plumbing and heating
 establishment, which company was absorbed by the Anchorage Commer- cial Company. MT. Rice passed thru Seward for Seattle, last month. He expects to return to southeastern Al aska in the near future and it is quite possible the former partners will en- gage in the plumbing and heating bus mess in Juneau. Since disposing of his interests to the firm, Mr. Peck was employed at various times by the Anchorage Commercial company and the Alaska Railroad.

YOUNG SON OF AL DAVIS SINGS
 XMAS CAROLS
(The Alaska Weekly)

Alaskans in Seattle who had the pleasure of attending the singing of Christmas carols at the Metropolitan theatre in Seattle last Sunday, heard for the first time the voice of Master Hedley Davis, an Alaska born young ster, who was one of the singers.
 Hedley Davis was born in Seward, Alaska, and is the son of Al Davis, the well-known transportation man. and pioneer of Cook Inlet and Kenai Peninsula districts, and a member of the firm of Hoben and Davis.
 Master Hedley has been attending the Seattle public schools and was one of the group selected from fifty-fiye thousand pupils to take part in the an- nual event.
 We have an idea that Father Al would have given something pretty handsome to have been able to tune in from up Seward way last Sunday night, and it would have been a migh- ty proud Dad who listened in and the chances are that he would have had nothing on Uncle Harry Hoben at that, or Uncle Pete Ogle, either.

Third Tourist Agent of
 Alaska Railroad Goes
 East Drum Up Business

In the interests of the tourist traf- fic over the Alaska Railroad, G. c. Dickens, chief clerk of the transpor- tation department, left Seward Satur- day for Seattle on the s. S. Alameda MT. Dickens plans journeying East as far as Chicago and expects to be ab- sent for some months. Since his af- filiation with the railroad, over year ago, MT. Dickens has become quite we'll known in Alaska as a descriptive writer, being credited with compiling most of the railroad pamphlets and circulars. He has also contributed various articles to a number of Alas kan newspapers and Outside maga- zines.
 Preceding MT. Dickens Outside were T. B. McGrath and A. M. Os- wold. Both have been in the States for the past few months promoting tourist travel to Alaska next summer. MT. McGrath was promoted to the po- sition from the mechanical shops and MT. Oswold held the position as agent at Nenana for the past few years.
