NORTHERN LIGHT
 GROUP BONDED

The Northern Light Group, located north of and adjoin- ing the Premier, and also touching the western bound aries of the B. c. Silver and Sebakwe (Bush) properties, has been optioned to an Eng fish syndicate, the personnel of which is not definitely known at present. The property, which embraces eight claims is owned jointly by William Bunting, of Hyder, and his brother, Chas. Bunting. The confederation named in the option is said to be $150, ,0OO and includes a substantial cash payment to the owners.
 When interviewed by Herald representative last week, Wnl. Bunting stated that the deal was concluded February 1 and added that he had not been advised as yet regarding the contemplations of the bond holders.
 The group is one of the p1o- neer locations of the district and holds a key position among the most noted holdings in the. Cascade area, being surrounded on all sides by properties on which larg. jcale development work Is either in progress or about to De launched. Considerable sur face work has been done Oh the property in earlier periods and has developed surface showings of such promise as to indicate that it probably will become a valuable pro ducer.

SENATOR THINKS REED MAY NOT BE LEGAL JUDGE

The political fight to remove Judge T. M. Reed of the First Division from the Alaska ju- dietary is continuing with scarcely abated vigor, despite the apparent quietness of the political situation. The latest effort directed against Judge Reed appeared recently in the presentation of a Senate reso. lution by Senator King, in which the Utah senator ex- presses doubt as to whether or not Judge Reed may legal ly continue to act as Judge ot this division, without reap pointment.
 The resolution recites the history of Judge Reeds incum bency, recalls his renominar ion last spring by President Coolidge, the subsequent fail ure of the Senate Judiciary committee to confirm his nou- ination and the withdrawal ot his name, with that of othel nominees; the nomination by the president of persons to succeed others whose names were withdrawn and the fail ure of the president to name anyone to succeed Judge ReeG It then asks that the SenaJe Judiciary committee take cog, nizance of the situation as t stands at present and render a report to the Senate as tt whether or not in it's opinion Judge Reed is holding the ot- flee legally and whether an5 proceedings are available tc secure his custer from from the office; also as to whether legislation by Congress is re- quired to deal with such mat. ters, or with situations which may arise of similar char acter in future.

NEW DEVELOPMENT
 ON INDEPENDENCE

Difficulties said to have been caused by bad air, in the main tunnel on the Independence, has resulted in a temporary cessation of work on that level and the starting of a new tun- nel on the same vein about 200 feet below the main level, ac- cording to Stewart reports. At the time of the suspension the main tunnel was in close to 700 feet and had gained a depth of about 450 feet on the dip of the vein.
 Announcements made last fall, following the sale of a controlling interest in the property TO American interests headed by Chas. Durrwachter, of Seattle, indicate that this company plans to install mill of 1O0-sCns capacity during the coming summer.

 TEST BILL FOR ALASKA

The House of Representatives has passed and sent to the Senate a bill permitting only those who speak and write the English language to vote 1n Alaska. The literacy test in- cludes among other things the writing of a legible sigma ture. ...
 It is provided that the restrict ions shall not affect citizens of the United States who quali- fled by voting in the last gen. eral election.
 This is the White Bill but it has been amended, apparently, to conform to the law passed by the last Alaska Legislature, winch exempts from it's terms those who had previously vot- ed.

J. F. Mandy, motion picture photographer, representing the Fox film company, has been engaged for some days in taking motion pictures of the district, and particularly in the Salmon valley. Included in the films obtained is a scenic trip over the Premier tram way, taken with the assistance of tram superintendent Frank Fisher, last Monday.
 The films should be an excel lent advertisement for the district, despite the fact that they are being taken under conditions which hardly dis play the inspiring scenic beauties of this section. Snow pictures are apt to chill rather than create a desire to visit and see the scenes depicted.

NEW CONTROL OF BIG
 MISSOURI IS REPORTED

A new alignment of control ling interests in the Big Mis- souri Mining Company is re- ported by the Alaska Weekly, This journal states, apparently with authority, that w. R. Tacoma capitalist, in associat- ion with Chester Thorne, Geo. J. Osgood and Dr. J. T. Greg ory, all of Tacoma, have talk en over the control of the Big Missouri Mining Company. The notable feature of the report ed new lineup is the presence of MT. Rust among the con- trolling interests.
 As the founder of the Ia coma smelter and the devel- oper of the famous Chicha- gof gold mine on Chichagof Island, the name of w. R. Rust is known to all old time resi- dents of Alaska. He has been one of the outstanding figures in the mining industry of Alas ka and the Northwest durin. the past tenty-five years and his Identification with the Big Missouri means a great deal to the company and the district as he is one who is accustomed to doing things in a big way and will undoubtedly apply his experience and judgment, as we'll as his financial SUD- port to the development of the Big Missouri. MT. Rust is reliably reported to have in- vested more than $100,OOO in the Big Missouri in recent days.
 MT. Thorne is a banker. He is said to have taken oyer a large block of Big Missouri stock, ill., vesting, according to reports $50,000. MT. Osgood, who is one of Tacoma's biggest in- dustrial magnates, was among the organizers of the Big Mis- aouri Co.,, as was also Dr.. Gregory. The Alaska Weekly states that Capt. Duncan Mac, Vichie will remain in charge of the exploration work un, der the new control and MT. s. A. Knowles, will continue as local mine superintendent.
 According to the same journal, it has been officially announc- ed that the Big Missouri Com pany anticipates proceeding with all possible speed to bring the property into production, the development work carried on during the past two years having provided assurance of sufficient ore of high duality to maintain extensive product ion for years to come.

RIVERSIDE TO RESUME
 MILLING ABOUT MAY 1

That the work done at the Riv- erside mine this winter under the development plan work ed out last fall by managing engineer R. c. Mellin has re- vealed a probable ore reserve sufficiently large to keep the mine in active production for nearly a year, is the outstano- ing feature of a statement cov- ering the situation at the mine given to the local press by MT. Mellin last week.
 Not only has the general de velopment scheme worked out in a most satisfactory manner, the statement says, but the character of the mine worK- ings have also been changed and improved to admit of the most economical extraction of ore. The statement asserts further that the surface work done last fall demonstrated probable large ore reserves in the area east of the present mine workings and with this in view, and with the support of the present developed ore reserve, the management IS looking forward to continuous future operation, in which de- velopment will keep pace with extraction. MT. Mellin's state ment follows:
 At the Riverside mine the de- velopment work laid out and undertaken early last Novem- Der is now completed and the mine force is turning to the work of opening stopes and getting ready reserve of bro, ken ore in preparation for the resumption of milling about the 1st of May.
 Although much difficulty was encountered and time lost ow ing to the fact that the plant was not fully adapted to win ter operation the results CD, tained have been very satis- factory and point to develop ed reserve of nearly years ore of rather better than the milling grade expected. The development especially during the past month in the No. 4 level has exceeded expectat- ions.
 In this level for no feet the vein has an average width ot 4 feet and an average total value of $35.70 per ton, in ad- dition to the ore developed in the first 80 feet of tunnel. The face of this working is now 1O8 feet below the surface giving 125 feet of depth ot vein on the dip. The mine workings have been improved to admit the most economical extraction of ore through the main adit level which con- meets with the mill.
 The surface exploration car ried o,'t last fall demonstrated that the vein is consistent both in width and value in the area to the east of the present workings. With this in view and with the support of the ore reserve now developed the management looks forward to continuous operation in which development will keep pace with extraction.

Referee Tells How
He Decides Bouts
lRY Jimmy pOWERSl

New York, April 30.-(NEA)-Just
how is boxing contest judged?
Fight fans the country over have
argued long and loudly disputing the
victory or defeat, as the case may
be, of their favorite ham.and- logger
on the hoof.
Of course when said ham-and-
cggcr is being fried in the warm
rays of the arc lights in a horizontal
position there is obviously sad
chance for chin session. But a lot
of bouts, we arc sorry to relate, often
60 the limit.
Let me turn over little space
to one of the country's cleve rest
rcfcrees--Jack O'Sullivan--and let
him spill the inside stuff for you
on how he calls the turn so ex-
pertly in the Garden. O'Sullivan is
checrcd as. often and booed as little
as any other official in these more
or less critical United States.
O'Sullivan says: II decide the
winner on effective hitting, boxing
skill. defense, attack and general
ship.
If round ! emphasise EFFECTIVE
hitting. Blows perfectly timed and
aimed. / don't give a man any credit
for landing lucky blow no matter
how hard it hurts. II he's a wild
swinger he's not u classy boxer-ex-
cepting, Of course, a K. o. There is
no arguing then.
"Showy jabbing does not mean
anything to me either. And remem-
Der, the referee is the ONLY man
who is in a position to see just how
badly a man has been struck on a
knockdown. Aggressiveness counts
for nothing. unless it is accompanied
by effectiveness"
