his five companions, lost in the
Arctic last summer, was found to-
day on gasoline tank of Amund-
sens seaplanc, picked up at sea.
The tank was brought here by the
Norwegian motor boat Lief. Two

and s degrees so minutes eastern
longitude.
Captain II. Riser Larsen, Norwe-

 SMITHS SUCCESSOR
FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT AND AL BERT OTTINGER UP FOR IN
 SPECTION

ALBANY, Oct, 24, (P)-A few beams from the political spotlight focused upon Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, turned full up- on the Gubernatorial chair he has occupied for eight years and the public is asking what manner of man will step into it when the dynamic nominee for the presiden- cy steps out.
 Neither Franklin Roosevelt, the Democratic nominee for Governor of New York, or Albert Ottinger, the Republican choice, is at all sim liar to Smith, yet both have certain characteristics which coincide with those of the incumbent.

TO MOVE OFFICES

In connection with greater tour
 ist travel he said that he would re-
 commend the removal of the tourist 1 bureau offices of the Alaska Rail- road now maintained at Washing
 ton to Chicago, since most of the tourist traffic originated in the
 middle west.
 He referred to the work that has
 ben done in regard to re-align- ing tracks in the yards of Seward, the Lowell Creek bridge and fill and stated that the pouring of cement for the new depot site would begin today and that the depot should be moved within a week. He proposes to build additional dock housing and trackage on the dock to facili- tate loading of cars. He attempted no answer to Mayor Rays sugges- tion, but after the luncheon re- marked that he would certainly give the matter careful considera- tion.
 You have a most beautiful city," he told his auditors in conclusion, and it is certainly our purpose to build in keeping with the natural beauty. We only ask the co-opera- aion of the citizens to make this railroad terminal in 1eed."

 unquestionably inadequate and urged local capitalists to start
 something toward a brand new hotel, even though they had to go Outside for much of the money which he thought would be i1nmed- lately forthcoming. He said that he had received many complaints from steamship lines and trans Continental railroads regarding the lack of proper accommodations at Fairbanks, where people walked the streets or slept in hotel Hobbies. This condition is intolerable in view of the certain fact that tourist traffic will increase from year to year rap idly.

provided and varying jail sentences for

RICH ORE ON CANTU

Development work on the Cantu group in the upper Sal mon valley is making excel lent progress, according to M. J. Lee, who is directing Operat- fins, on behalf of Portland in- terests headed by H. M. Col by, who recently purchased the property and are planning to place 1t in production dur ing the present season.
 Activities are at present di- rected to exploring a high grade vein. on which no work had been done and which promises to develop into a valuable ore deposit. The vein, showing only a few inches at the surface, is widening rapid ly and is being uncovered by blasting away the precipitous Overburden. The work so far done has revealed what is ap- parently the end of an ore body of large dimension. The ore is heavily mineralized and carries high grade values.
 A sample from the center of the lead g few days ago gave assay returns totaling $128, in- cluding $9.2O gold, SPA silver and 72 per cent lead.
 As low cost transportation is the most important desiterat- um at present, MT. Lee is also carrying on extensive road and trail building activities along the valley between Can tn Mountain and the Salmon River road. The temporary trail constructed two years ago by the Premier Gold Mining Company is being improved and widened to permit hauling by means of a two horse wagon with narrow wheel base until such time as a substantial trucking road can be construct ed.

The men who are backing the enter prise are satisfied with the progress thus far and are con- tinuing their support, with the fullest confidence in Captain Peterson and his drilling op- erations.

Thos. Robertson, mine super intendent of the Adanac Com pany. arrived from the south Sunday, to inaugurate the seas On's development activities of the, Company's large Fish Creek holdings.
 MT. Robertson informed the Herald that the Company di- rector8te, has decided to con- tinue development by hand methods for at least another season before installing 8 ma chine plant, as was contem- plated during the winter. MT. Robertson states that although an excellent ore deposit wal developed on the Lucky Boy Extension claim last year, it is considered advisable to prove the vein at somewhat greater depth through the low tunnel started last fall. This should cut the high grade ore located in the winze in the upper tun- mel within 8 short distance of the present face.

Results obtained from sluicing by two outfits in two different pieces of ground in the Good News Bay district, were not encouraging and failed to sub- stantiate claims of an import ant platinum discovery, accord ing to a letter received by Ter ritorial Treasurer Karl Thiele. Experienced mining men who have looked over the field are not optimistic over the outlook for successful development. There is some platinum in the area. From two areas mention ed IA ounces were recovered and original estimates placed the value at $1O3 per ounce. However, returns showed the recovery to have been but Al per cent platinum, the remain der being some other mineral much less valuable, and black sand. The cash value of the entire cleanup is said to have been less than $500.

QUICK ACTION
 ON VIRGINIA

Mining operations are now in full swing on the Virginia, Cas- cade and Border Groups of the Premier Border Gold Mining Company under the direction mine superintendent William Bunting.
 The first round of holes was drilled on the Virginia group May 23. This was exactly 36 days after the work of shovel ing out the snow covered camp was first started. During the interval new camp was erected to replace the building crushed by the heavy snow a day or two before work started and a new compressor house was also constructed.
 MT. Bunting has also installed an aerial tramway about 300 feet long between the black smith shop and the tunnel for transporting tools and other mine supplies. This will save much time and labor in hand ling supplies and equipment and may also be used for ore transportation later.
 The speed displayed in get ting actual mining under way is a most creditable testimoni- al to MT. Bunting's ability and energy and entities him to the comendation of his superiors in the company.

FLOOD RELIEF WORK
 PROVES SUCCESSFUL

The splendid effort of the Fly der Chamber of Commerce and local citizens to overcome the flood danger which for several years has threatened the de- struction of the town was re- ward during the past week by the successful diversion of a large portion of the waters of the turbulent Salmon River in- to the new channel on which work has been in progress for several weeks.
 About one-third of the total volume of water coming down the river is now passing into the old slough which parallels the river channel short dis tance to the west, and the vol ume is expected to increase materially as the new course is deepened by erosion.
 Members of the committee in charge of the work express the view that but little more can be done as the funds available are nearly exhausted, but enough has been accomplished to practically offset danger of a serious flood for some time to come. It is pointed out that although the river has not been fully diverted from it's course, the new channel will carry off enough water to keep the main stream we'll within it's banks, except, perhaps, during peri ods of extremely high water.
 It is also pointed out that the work of removing the tangled masses of roots, stumps and other timber debris buried in the numerous sand bars is a difficult and costly process which cannot be completely accomplished without the ex- penditure of many times the amount recently subscribed by our public spirited citizens.
 Those in charge of the work as we'll as those employed have done all that was possible with the means at hand. The work has been of the most difficult and arduous character and all connected herewith are entit- led to the fullest thanks of the community for their efforts.
