PROTECTORS IN THE EDIE GOLD RUSH PASS OVER WILD
 COUNTRY BY AIRPLANE

SYDNEY. New South Wales Regular reports and shipments of gold reach sydney from the New duinea goIduelds situated on lbe great island of that name to the north of Australia. It now appears Jnat the successive discoveries may be accepted as denodng fields of great richness and extending over wide area.
 Edie Creek is one of the gold cen ters on the islands. It is not only a wild country but very hot and with much rain. In striking contrast wiJh the long-draWn-out and labori- ous modes of travel with which ear Her generations of miners in various regions had to contend. airplanes are being used to negotiate the rough district lying between the nearest port on the coast and the fields.
 The 1odes recently developed there are exceptionally rich, running up to as much as 320 ounces ton. That, however, is far above the aver age. Mr. T. Trayers Black, a min Ing engineer who has just returned to Sydney, makes the following re- port:
 From 10 to so ounces a ton is the normal output" he says. "The value of the gold is only t an ounce Edie Creek is an embryo Goolgardie lthe famous West Aus tralian goldfield) aud it is certain ly the richest gold country that has been discovered in these parts in re- cent years. I have seen men clean up l00 ounces of gold daily, and when modern engineering methods are adopted on the field, as they will be shortly, the yields will be abnor- mally high.
 The difficulties of reaching the field. however. are great. It is es- sentially country for strong, heal thy men. To mine for gold in New Guinea (which is under the govern ment of Australia) one must possess { 400 and employ not fewer than II native boys"
 It is anticipated that as the new fields open up many more Austra- Hans will leave for them.

BUSINESS MEN WANT
 NARR0WS NAME CHANGED

Wrangell Narrows are in reality Petersburg Narrows and should be so designated, Petersburg Commer- cial Club decided at it's regular weekly Wedpesday meeting and Congress will be requested to have the name changed. The suggestion met with much laughter when it was first made, but after considerable discussion many arguments in favor of changing the name were discover ed.
 First, Petersburg is situated on the Narrows, which are more than forty miles from the town bearing the same name. Whenever anyone thinks of Wrangell Narrows, they think of Petersburg because of it's geographical location. Also, Wran- gelI gets all the advertising from the most scenic of all waterways in AL aska, great drawing card for tour ists.
 With the big improvement pro- gram of the Narrows rapidly near ing completion. it is necessary that new charts be made and when these are made, it will be perfectly easy to make the change in names. Fur ther action will be taken on this sub- jeet at the next meeting of the Club.

DAWSON PLANNING FOR
 ICE-GUESSING CONTEST

Dawson is to have an ice-guessing contest next spring, similar to that which has made Nenana famous for several years. It is the first attempt by citizens of the Yukon metropolis to eommercialize the spring break up and is to be conducted by regu- uarly appointed committee for pub licity purposes solely. The contest is to be conducted along the lines of the Nenana contest, and the time of the Yukon River breakup will be determined just as is done at Ne mana, an ice flag being anchored well out on the ice on the river and attached to a clock in the city which automatically stops when the ice moves. As the pool is solely for pub licity purposes. there will be no per- centage deduction, the winner talk ing the entire pool less the actual expenses of conducting the pool.

ALASKA MINK ARE DRAWING
 INTEREST AMONG OUTSIDERS

The day is not far away when AL aska mink farmers will be called upon to supply breeding stock to fur farmers in the states. in the opinion of Bert olsonu of the firm of Olson < oYerby, owners of a sue cessfuI mink farm in Che Caswen lake district.
 Mink raised in the Anchorage belt possess fur Of the highest quality, equal to the best in every respect except that the fur is a trifle lighter in color than Chat of the Labrador district. But it will not be long, Mr Olson says. before the Alaska mink will be as dark as any raised any where. In fact. there are now at the Casweu lake farm. some very dark mink and with careful breed ing it is believed the Alaska product can be developed to the point where it will be superior in every way to that Of any other part of the world. The industry is a young one in AL aska but it is making rapid strides and gives promise of becoming one one of the big business of the rail road belt.-Anchorage Times.

AAsHINGT0N- Business eondi- tions in the United States are i'm proving constantly and prospects for greater prosperity than ever in the United States are bright, President Coolidge announced. The President based his statement on inyestiga- tions carried on by members of the Cabinet, which they said showed economic foundations in the United States are more firm than ever.
 Investigation by the Cabinet mem bers has proved eonclusiYely that the United States is on a sound basis according to a report handed Presi- dent Coolidge. Exports have showed volume increase and imports volume decrease, although bearing larger monetary relation to imports in the year 1926.
 President Coolidge expressed the greatest satisfaction with the report. He said railroads, while showing small signs of slipping from the great peaks of 1926. were still eyideneing great strength. He ex- pressed the opinion that diminution in passenger traffic would not seri- ously affect profits over the year.

Furnishing cracked ice, ginger ale. or mineral water to guests who use same to make drinks palatable, is punishable by one years padlocking, Campbell deelar- ed.

IMPORTANCE OF CONSERVING
 DEER SUPPLY EMPHASIZED

c. T. Gardner, chairman Of the Alaska Game Commission. was one of the principal speakers at the meeting of the Tanana-Yukon Game Association held at Fairbanks last week. h the course of his address Mr. Gardner made the following ref erenee to the game situation in Southeastern Alaska:
 "Prior to 1907 the killing of deer for their hides was carried on on quite an extensive scale. and the people of that section have been paying the penalty ever since. At a later period the deer kill was limit ed to five and then to three. But until the last four or five years tbeCe was no great increase in the deer family south of Petersburg. Since the formation of the Alaska Game Commission and the inception of new game laws the number of deer has rapidly increased. North of Petersburg large bands may be seen. When it is realized that out side of a few goats, and these in the main living in inaccessible places, the deer is the only game animal in Southeastern Alaska. the importance of conserving the supply becomes readily apparent"

PARIS The general attitude among officials in France is that the chance for solution of tariff diff eulties has been minimized by the United States refusal to accept what the French considered the best of fer. Officials, in giving the French position, declared the Government could not grant in advance of nego- tiations most favored when this was the utmost that the United States could expect by formal treaty; such a move would practically commit France to definite action. In addi- tion. the official said. the majority of the French Cabinet is determined that France shall obtain some small concessions in exchange for the rights granted the United States. Therefore the situation is dead locked.

FUNERAL OF HARRY JoHNsTN

The funeral Of Harry Johnson sho was drowned near Petersburg ast month. was heIa m the Red men's Hall Tuesday afternoon under me auspices oI Merlin Elmer Palmer rost No. 6. American Legion. The Episcopal burial service was read by lhe Rev. II. P. Corser. of St. Philip 5 church. The ritualistic service was followed by a short funeral address by the rector. The music included Che singing of Abide With Me by Miss Vessel. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. In terment was made in the Redmen' 8 cemetery.
 As stated in the Sentinel three weeks ago Harry Johnson was drowned near Petersburg. The ex= act details concerning the unfortu- nate affair will probably never be known. IL is certain however, that the drowning was purely accidental
 Following the drowning the American Legion offered a reward of sI00 for the recovery of John sons body. The body was found on last Thursday and taken to Peters burg, and later brought to Wrangell.
 L. E. Johnson, brother Of the de- ceased. arrived from Seattle on the Yukon Monday evening and was in attendance at the funeral on the following day.
 Harry Oscar Johnson was born In Mckinley, Michigan, in 1893. When he was six years of age his family moved to the Pacific coast, settling at Everett, Wash. He attended the schools of Everett and upon reach ing manhood became a bricklayer by trade. However. Johnson's fond ness for the water soon turned him away from the brieklayer's trade. IL 1915 he came to Alaska to be on eannery tender for the Santa Anna cannery. When war was declared in 1917 he promptly enlisted in the service of his country. becoming maehinist's mate, first class, naval aviation. He was first stationed al San Diego and later at Far Rock away Beach. Long Island. At the close of the war he returned to AL aska and has been employed on vari- ous boats in this vicinity ever since.
 Mir. Johnson's father died when he was a small boy His mothers family have resided in Seattle since 1910. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. H. NJ. Johnson, and two sisters and a brother. They are: Mrs. Carl Heinmiller. Mrs. Ralph B. Bennett, and L. D Johnson, who is the young est member of the family.
 The untimely death of Harry Johnson is deeply deplored by wide circle of friends.
