SENSATIONAL GOLD STRIKE
 IN NEVADA

TON0PAH, Mar. 14.-Diseovery of rich surface gold deposits bodes i'll for the mushroom mining town Of Weepah, for the time being at least. as it's temporary inhabitants have scattered to stake claims.
 The town was electrified with reports of gravel worth $50 10 the pound. The place was almost de- populated at once by those anxious to fill their pockets with gold.
 The law distinguishing between placer claims and lode claims is causing much confusion and trou- ble. Placer claims may be staked on ground already staked for lode claims, but the placer is good only to the lode-bearing rock.
 Many claims have been re-staked. Claim jumpers are becoming bolder and several fights have been stag ed. Many dance hall girls are be- ginning to flock to town. A mum Der of them have secured claims. So many autos are arriving that a traffic cop has been appointed. / Chinaman set up a restaurant and was eaten out before noon the same day.
 The boom has appeared at Gold fields and miles of stakes are ap- l airing near the town which died twenty years ago.

FARMING IN
 SOUTHEASTERN 4 SECTION ALASKA

Fl. ". Alberts, director of the AL askan Experimental Stations of tbe Department Of Agriculture. was the principal speaker at the weekly luncheon of the commercial club at the Wrangell Hotel Monday.
 The director stated that his pres ent trip through this section is one of investigation to find out in what direction lie the greatest possfbili- ties in southeastern Alaska. He said there is no doubt that certain food products can be grown sue eessfully in this vicinity. He then voiced the opinion that successful farming is possible in southeastern Alaka. but that il requires eommu- nity effort. This is a day and age of cooperation, said the speaker. who further declared that indiyid- ual farming doesn't go here.
 As an example of how farming in southeastern Alaska can be carried on successfully through eommnn- fly effort the director cited an in- stance where eight homesteaders located about eight miles from Pe- tersburg are working together 10 their mutual advantage. All of these eight farmers send their pro duets into town on the same boat. and likewise. have all their sup plies brought from town on the same boat. He declared that these eight farmers are succeeding. and that what Is being done by them can be done by others in other places in southeastern Alaska.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING

Do we need a new high school building? When Dr. Albert spoke there Tuesday afternoon, there were only nine visitors present, and yet the room was so small with all the teachers, scholars and the few visitors that the air tasted in 45 minutes as one's room tastes in the morning when one has gone to sleep and forgotten to leave the window open in his room. This is the way all the visitors felt. It is up to the taxpayers to decide whether it is good economy to go without a new building another year.

WEEPAH, Nevada - The new gold strike here continues at a fe- Yerish heat. Thirteen sacks of ore that have been assayed run sixty per cent pure gold.
 All the time, day and night, au- tomObiles from neighboring states continue to pour into camp and in the meantime claims are said to be changing hands rapidly, some of them almost daily, with everybody making money out of the transac- tions.
 The first three loads of lumber for ,Weepah came in on trucks and a semi-permanent building will be begun on ground that a few days ago was regarded as practically worthless.
 Guards are being placed over the rich ore already mined, but not yet transported to the shelter, both to guard against wilful theft and the practice of curious visitors pocket ing nuggets as souvenirs. It is es- timated that on the Horton claim alone $10,000 in gold has been car ried away as souvenirs.
