 Earlier in the day Judge Reed expressed a desire to take an auto ride but after going a short distance said he felt faint and thought he had bet ter return to the hospital. He was suffering from a severe attack of gastritis, which brought on the heart attack resulting in his death. Mrs. Reed was with her husband at the end.
 Funeral services were held May 4th under the auspices of the Juneau Masonic Lodge, of which Judge Reed was a mem Der. The remains of the de ceased will be taken to Olym- pia, Wn., for interment.

CREST co. COMPLETES
 SECOND PAYMENT

The Crest Consolidated Gold Mining Co.,, Ltd, formed re- gently by Eastern Canada in- terests headed by Ernest S. Parker, Winnipeg financier, to operate the highly promising Crest group in the upper Fish Creek area, made the second payment under the bonding contract to the local owners, Messrs. M. D. Ickis, Arthur Moa and O. F. Hill, last We'd nesday.
 Activities looking to the com mencement of development work on the property are now going forward under the di- rection of Wm. Bunting. F. J. Crossland, Canadian mining engineer, who arrived from the South last week, will ex- anime the property and out line the development plans.

BILL CALLS FOR
 LOCAL FLOOD SURVEY

Flood control surveys of a number of American rivers, in- cluding the local Salmon River, will be authorized under a bill introduced in the House of Representatives by James B. Reed, chairman of the House Control Committee, according to Washington press dispatch es of May 3.
 This means that the long con- tinued effort of the Chamber of Commerce to attract Con- gressional attention to the To- cal flood danger is at last bear ing fruit and may ultimately result in something being done to save the town from a cost ly disaster.
 Attorney Ernest Blue has al- 50 been advised by delegate Sutherland that a survey of the river situation had been authorized and funds for the purpose appropriated.
 Although the authorizing of survey is no assurance that the desired flood relief will be forthcoming thereafter, it is decidedly gratifying to know that the government is at last preparing to investigate the situation.

SELUKWE PLANS
 FOR B. c. SILVER

Development plans of the Selukwe Gold Mining and Fi- nance Go. Ltd., for the B. c. Silver property in the upper Salmon basin, include the driv- ing of two drifts from the shaft, now being sunk from the No. 3 tunnel, to explore the extensive ore deposit en- countered in the shaft at 222 feet, according to a circular letter to stockholders issued by the Company April 14th.
 The first of the proposed lev els will extend from the shaft at a depth of 36O feet, the oth7 CT will be driven when the shaft has attained a depth of 465 feet.
 As the shaft was reported to have reached depth of about $50 feet some days ago, the work of driving the 36O foot level will probably be under way shortly.
 Referring to the ore outlook in connection with these oper- ations, the circular says:
 "It may here be stated that the company has itself proved beyond doubt the existence of the Premier ore body by dia- mond drilling, the drills hay ing intersected the ore at sev- eral points showing large. bod ies of ore of high value. While sinking the present shaft an unknown ore deposit was struck at 222 feet carrying in places high values. The shaft Cat 800 ft.--Ed.) is still in a silicified zone which continues to carry values"
 Following a reference to the last annual report of the Pre- mier Company, the letter adds |: with the satifactory opening up of the ore body, the policy will include the erection of a treatment plant" |"
 Referring to operations on the Sebakwe, in which Seluk- we is interested in a large way, the letter states that "a pay able shoot of ore 200 feet in length has been intersected and opened up."

INDEPENDENCE DRILL PROGRAM TO
 START SOON

The contemplated diamond drill program of the Revenue Mining Company on the Inde- oendence property will be launched as soon as the drill equipment, which arrived last week, can be placed in operat- on, according to s. P. Fitzger- aid, president of the Independ- ,nce Gold Mining Company.
 The program, for which a contract was recently given to Lynch Bros, of Seattle, calls :or 5000 feet of drill work. Most of this will be done on the 1900 foot level and is design ed primarily to prospect the No. 2, 3 and 4 veins.
 MT. Fitzgerald states that the drill is special type and built especially sturdy to meet the heavy duty it will be called lpon to perform. A crew of eight men accompanied the lrill north, five of whom are 0 be employed on the drill work. The remainder will be occupied at stripping and oth- 1T surface work, including the .utting of trails to facilitate the movement of the drill.
 c. L. Batten, E. M. who will nave charge of development work, arrived a few days ago % prepare for activities. The underground development pro- gram includes the driving of | 600 foot tunnel on the main Jein at an elevation of 28OO 'eet and 200 below the Inde- oendence tunnel. The two tun- aels will also be connected by l 200 foot upraise driven from he new level.
 The completion of this tun- 1el and upraise vii increase to nearly 5000 feet the under ground development so far , done, 2OOO feet of under ground work having been done on the property by Fitzgerald Bros. and the Independence Co.,, prior to it's acquisition by the Revenue Co.,.

PREMIER co. BUSY
 ON MARMOT PLANS

Activities of the Premier Gold Mining Company on the Marmot promise to make that section a decidedly busy one during the summer. Not only will the installation of the tram between the beach and the Porter Idaho and Prosperi- ty groups provide a great deal of activity but the company al- so plans construction of a large camp on the 22 acre tract talk en up at the mouth of the Marmot River.
 The 6 mile tram is being man. ufactured by the Riblet Tram way Co.,, of Spokane and will be the last word in aerial tram construction. The towers will be constructed entirely of steel and will be mounted on con- crete bases fixed in solid rock along the east slopes of Mt. Rainey. Owing to the danger of snow slides, the tram must be of the most durable type possible to attain, as a weak or flimsy structure would in- evitably be torn away by the great snow avalanches which sweep the mountain at inter vals during the winter and early spring. It is understood that the right of way extends straight from the Porter-Idaho direct to Green Point, about half way Up the 5000 foot slope. Below this point the tram will follow the curve of the lower slope to the beach.
 The company is also planning the construction of ore bunk CTS, wharf, power house, store and other buildings at the camp site near the mouth of Marmot River. Reports also in- dicate that the prospects for business created by the estab- lishment of the big camp will result in the development of quite a settlement along the lower Marmot.

ENGINEER SIND. SETS
 FINANCING RECORD

OESaClLlB a Q0CIueOly reInark- able record for local financing, the Marmot Engineer Mine Syndicate completed Friday the sale of the entire block of 2,100 units authorized at the time of organization, April 18th, according to Geo. Bum, locator and developer of the Engineer group on the south fork of Marmot river and pres ident of the Syndicate's board of trustees.
 ]. Mir. Bum informed the Her aid that every unit of the Iall0tment was taken up by To- Teal people and without going outside of the district for sub- scriptions.
 As the units were not placed on the market until April 21, the closing of subscriptions last evening, May II, dicloses that financing was fully completed within period of 21 days. As the sale price of the units was $1O each, this means that subscriptions averaged $1,O00 per day for each day of the sale period. In view of the com paratively small population of the district, this is most re- markable financing achieve ment as we'll as a noteworthy attestation of local confidence in the future of the Engineer property.
 With the possible exception of the old Porter-Idaho Syndi- cate, the financing of which was completed in a very brief period, no attempt at local financing of any character has met with more immediate success.
 With ample funds available, the Syndicate is rushing sup lies and equipment to the prop erty with all possible dispatch. A two-drill compressor arrived on the Catala Monday and will be started up the Marmot to- day, by wagon as far as the fork and thereafter by means of sleds. A large consignment of lumber was started up the hill recently and sixty drums of gasoline for the power plant are also enroute, in addition to rails and other mine and camp equipment. Work will be start ed on a bunk and mess house, compressor house and black smith shop as soon as the ma terials are on the ground. Ow- ing to the softening of the trail the Syndicate has found it nec- essary to employ a small crew to make repairs after failing to secure government assistance.

NINETY-SIx COMPANY
 BONDS MORE GROUND

The NlneCy-SlX Mining C0m- pany, newly organized mining concern headed by H. A. Hen ton, of Tacoma, which recent ly bonded the promising 96- group on Mineral Hill, has further increased it's local holdings by taking an option on the Mother Lode group, ad- joining the 96 property, ac- cording to Ray Snyder, who re- turned Monday from Tacoma, where he negotiated the deal for both the 96 and Mother Lode.
 The Mother Lode comprises three claims and lies along the north boundary of the 96 group on the west slope o1 Mineral Hill. The group con- tains a number of important ore showings of the same char acter as those found on the 96 Although no extensive devel, ment has been accomplished on the Mother Lode, enough has been done to indicate that it is a property of marked mer- it, with an excellent prospect of developing into mine.
 MT. Snyder informed the Her aid that the Ninety-Six Com pany plans an extensive devel opment program during the summer. MT. Henton, who is president of the company, anc Harry Townsend, consulting engineer, will arrive abou: June 1. to look the ground ov- CT and formulate a develop. ment program. Work will be carried on in the meantime un, der the direction of Dan Wood more, who was recently ap pointed mine superintendent.
 Mir. Snyder stated that MT Henton's associates in tho Ninety-Six company include [ number who were associated with him in the bonding and operation of the Big Missouri; property several years ago The company is organized un der the laws of Washington and is capitalized at $2,OOO,, 900, divided into an equal number of shares of $1 par value. An issue of 100000 shares has been authorized and is now on the market al 30 cents per share.
 MT. Henton's record as man. ager of the Standard Mine; Corporation and and Big Mis- souri Mining Company pro vides ample assurance that the Ninety-Six will be developed il a thoroughly efficient an( business-like manner. The re tention of Harry Townsend a' director of mining activities en hances still further the mana gerial strength of the organi, zation.

APRIL EXPORTS
 BELOW NORMAL

Alaska exports in April pos sessed a total value of $1,1O1,- 573, according to the monthly report of Customs Collector J. c. Mcbride. This was $352, ,378- less than exports in April 1927. The slump is attributable main ly to a reduction in salmon shipment amounting to more than a quarter million dollars.
 Copper ore and raw furs formed the leading items of the month, the former practic- ally equaling similar exports last year, and with furs show ing a considerable gain over April 1927. Following is the statement:

BY VIM. E. GILROY. DID.
TINE incidents of this lesson al

TINE incidents of this lesson are
l. related to the parallels of the
last lesson concerning the growth
of the kingdom of Heaven.
1t was on the day in which these
parallels were spoken and by the
western side of the Sea of Galilee
that Jesus suggested, apparently to
get some relief from the multitude
who had been listening to his teach
ings, that he and his disciples should
go over to the other side of the lake.
So the disciples took Jesus in boat,
and, along with other boats, they
started across the lake.
The Sea of Galilee, or the Lake
of GenneSaret as it is also called,
is twelve and a half miles long at
it's greatest length and eight miles
wide, and a lake even of those pro-
portions can be subject to very seri-
Gus storms and squalls, and it must
be remembered that the boats OF
that day were small.
This particular lake was accus-
toned to unusually violent storms
because it was enclosed on all sides,
except on the northwest, by steep
mountains, and the wind sometimes
sweeping down from these noun
tainS with something of the force of
tornado made the onset Of the
storm frequently as terrible as it was
sudden.
This was what happened in this
journey across the lake, though
Jesus was so worn out with his
dealings with the multitude that he
had fallen alSeep in the stern OF
the boat. This in itself is an inter
esting commentary upon the inten-
sity of the ministry of Jesus and
the severity of its constant strain.
Could we think of man even in
ordinary WEAKNESS going to sleep
under such circumstances?
The terror stricken disciples are
amazed at his unconcern and they
awake him with an open reproach
Master, carest though not that we
perish?" What a strange contrast
in the peace that comes as Jesus
rebukes the winds and waves and
there arises great calm!
What was this power that Jesus
exercised over nature? We are
here in the presence of miracle
and all that questioning in the
mind of man concerning the fact
and nature of miracle Immediately
comes to light.
AS I have often said, it does not
fall within the function of these
brief comments upon the. lessons
to deal with ultimate questions oil
criticism such as are involved il
discussions regarding the nature
and reality of miracles. I have
however. remarked upan the fact
that the recorded miracles, practi-
cally all, have some definite rela-
