Jones Trimmed Best
Golf is no respecter of persons. Not
even champions are excepted in the
vagaries that often feature the major
tournament.
Bobby Jones after defeating Maurice
Mccarthy in the first round at Mini
kahda, went. on to win the amateur
title by overwhelming such otltstand-
ing players as Jimmy Johnston,
Frances Ouimet and Chick Evans.
This trio of star players didn't make
things interesting for Jones and failed
to give the gallery much of thrill at
any stage Of the going.
1t is a coincidence that in the last
two national amateur events, Jones
has barely been able to get by the first

Mccarthy Was Bold

At the turn, Mccarthy was one up.
When they teed off at the sixteenth
hole, the youngster still held that
margin over the great Bobby, super
golfer. Yet at the finish Jones was
two up, still in the running, to go
on to win.
I am told by those who watched
the McCarthy-Jones match that while
it was unquestionable stage fright that
defeated the youngster it was not the
form of stage fright that comes with
lack of Courage.
On the other hand, it could be
classed as stage fright, resulting from
inexperience. With win ovd' Jones
seemingly in the bag, Mccarthy, in
stead of playing safe, continued bold
to the last. This style of play made
for wildness, particularly from the
tee. and gave Jones the opening he
had hoped for and he was quick to
seize it.

'' 'Aleutian" Is Name of New Steamer for
 The Alaska Run

The Alaska Steamship Company has issued the following New Year announcement regarding their new steamer
 Ne have pleasure in announcing the addition to our fleet of another large, modern. twin-serew passen- ger steamer, the Aleutian, q sister ship of our steamer Yukon. She is a double-bottom, oil burning steam CT. 6963 tons gross register. and S25O tons displacement. She is 375 feet in length and 50 feet in breadth. On a tonnage basis the Aleutian and Yukon Wiu be the largest passenger steamers operat- ing to Alaska.
 The Aleutian is an exact dupli- cate Of the Yukon. except that her stateroom and bertning arrange ments will show some changes in the way of improvements She will have approximately twenty rooms with bath and total passenger ca paeity Tor about 250 first class Her observation and music room
  nificent rooms on the Yukon and the Alaska.
 It is planned that all work on this new steamer will be completed by June 1st, and that she will go into service on the Southwestern Alaska Route sailing June 4th on her maiden voyage. With the Aleu- tian, the Alaska and the Yukon we will have in service on that route three splendid, large, modern tWin-screW. double bottom steamers of the same size and with almost exactly duplicate passenger accom- modations They are, without boast ing, bet also without question, the very best appointed and most at tractiVe ships operating to Alaska.
 Prior to the time the Aleutian is ready for service, the Northwestern will continue operating on the Southwestern Alaska Route, TO- tating with the Alaska and the Yu- kon, giving us sailing on this route from Seattle nine o'clock ev- cry Saturday morning throughout the year.
 The new steamer enables us to withdraw the Northwestern from the Southwestern Alaska Route and operate her on the Southeast ern Alaska Route, alternating with the Alameda. This will give us, during the 1927 summer excursion season, June, July and August, a steamer once weekly on both routes-sailing from Seattle every Tuesday evening at nine C'elock on the Southeastern Alaska Route, and every Saturday morning at nine o'clock on the Southwestern Alaska Route.

LONDON-The Shanghai eorre- spondent of the Westminster Ga zette sends an eyewitness story of an incident in HankoW which would, he says, be indicative of Chinese attempts to cause incl dents which would serve for anti British propaganda In the coursa of proeessions through the native part of the city, a large crowd ap- peared before the barbed wire bar ricade dividing the native city from the British concession, which was manned by a landing party. The mob began to stone the guards according to the correspondent. It became necessary for the guards to withdraw to sand-bag defenses slightly in the rear. The crowd then made an unsuccessful flank movement in an attempt to enter the concession.

PREMIER BONDS MORE
 MARMOT PROPERTIES

Further increasing its recently acquired interests in the Marmot River section, the Premier Gold Mining Co.,, operator of the famous Premier mine, has bonded major interest in ten additional claims adjoining the Porter Idaho proper ty according to announcements made late last week by members of the owning group.
 The properties embraced in the deal include the Prosperity group, owned by the Jancowski brothers, and Nessrs. Eli Watland, G. H. Da- wis and George Mehlfeld, and three additional claims owned by Messrs. George Brown of Vancouver, and Owney MeFadden and Eli Watland of Stewart. Under the terms of the bonding agreement the Premier company acquires a fifty-two per cent interest in the various proper ties. for which it has agreed to pay $125,000 in four payments. The total purchase price is to be paid within a period of three years. The initial payment of $20,0OO was made to the owning interests last Friday.
 The Premier company now con- trols a total of 15 properties Dor dering upon or closely adjacent to the noted Porter Idaho group. II is reliably reported that the Pre- mier company has also made un- successful overtures looking to the purchase of the latter property which owing to recent spectacular nroduetion of high grade, has at tained a local prominence second only to that of the great Premier itself.
 The Prosperity group, which comprises the chief unit of the Pre- mier holdings, achieved marked prominence late last fall by ship ping to the Trail smelter 632 sacks of ore which yielded returns Of s6.499.46 or slightly less than S225 per ton. The ore in question was extracted in a few weeks time bv hand methods and under great difficulties from one claim of the group which lies partially between two claims of the Porter ldano group and carries extensions of the remarkably rich ore bodies found on the latter property
 The deal is not only particularly advantageous to the Marmot sec ton but it is also remarkable Tn the degree that the initial payment is considerably larger than is usual in the case of slightly developed properties.
