NONSTOP FLIGHT TO
 JUNEAU IN SEVEN HOURS

Proving completely the feasi- bility of rapid air plane trans portation between Alaska and Puget Sound, a seaplane made the first nonstop flight from Seattle to Juneau this week in the remarkable time of ' hours 48 minutes, according to radio news flashes caught Monday evening by Jimmie Jackson. As the distance from Seattle to Juneau is 86O miles, it will be seen that the plane averaged over two miles per minute in covering the route. The mes sage said the plane is capable of an average speed of 125 miles per hour and can make the same trip in z hours. The plane is to used by the Bureau of Fisheries in patrol work on the Alaska coast.

LOCAL SYNDICATE PLANS PROSPECTING
 BY A|RPLANE

Prospecting operations, with airplanes providing transport ation between supply bases and points of activity, will be- come a reality in this district in the near future if plans of a re- gently organized local syndi- cate, known as the Northern Prospector Syndicate, reach successful maturity.
 The new syndicate has its headquarters in Stewart and is organized on the unit basis, with a capital of $1O,OOO, di- vided into 100 units of $1OO each. The organizers are John Stewart, l.. s. Davidson and R. w. Kennedy. The syndicate is said to have been fully fi- nanced in Victoria, with the addition of some local money, and plans to conduct it's pros oecting activities in the Iskut River section, extending along she northern boundary of the Portland Canal district and 80 to 100 miles north of Stewart. The district cannot be reached from Stewart at present except by a difficult land journey or by steamer to Wrangell, Alas ka and thence up the Stikine River. Employment of air planes, however, will enable the landing of supplies and men in any part of the Iskut section within an hour or two after leaving Stewart; hence the syndicate proposes to em- ploy a plane, principally for the transportation of supplies to field parties engaged in prospecting the district.
 Prospecting with the aid of airplane transportation has proved eminently successful in Alaska during recent years and has also been employed in Canada where wide distances must be covered to reach iso- lated mining regions.

ALASKA CHAMBER
 OF COMMERCE
 NOW ASSURED

The organization of an all Alaska Chamber of Commerce is now virtually assured, as a result of meetings held recent ly in Juneau by representatives of Chambers of Commerce in all parts of the Territory.
 Late reports of the proceed ings indicate that the new or ganization will be known as the Alaska Territorial Cham Der of Commerce and will be incorporated. Juneau will probably be the headquarters of the body. 4 constitution and bylaws drafted at the initial meetings have been submitted to the various Chambers of Commerce represented and have been endorsed by the commercial clubs of Nome, Juneau, Wrangell, Petersburg, Seward and Cordova. Fair banks, Sitka, Anchorage and Valdez had not made known their intentions regarding af- filiation up to the time of the last reports. Ketchikan has declined utilization, owing to strong opposition by Commer- cial Club members.

QUICK ACTION ON
 RIVER BILL

In a personal letter to the Herald, Senator Will A. Steel, president of the Territorial Senator, points out that the passage of the Winn measure (House Bill No. 18) for the re- lief of Hyder, was accom- plished by" the Senate in as short a time as was possible, although the action might have been completed some what earlier but for the lack of a quorum during three pre- ceding days of the session.
 A copy of the Senate Journal for April 10 enclosed by Sena- tor Steel shows the following proceedings in connection:
 "The committee on Finance and Corporations reported back with the recommendation that House Bill No. IS do pass. The report was signed by MT. Sundquist as chairman and concurred in by Messrs. Frame Steel and Hess.
 "A telegram from the Hyder Chamber of Commerce, ad- dressed to President Steel of the Senate, urging favorable action by the Legislature on House Bill No. IS was read.
 "Mr. Sundquist moved, sec onded by MT. Benjamin, that the rules be suspended, that the bill be advanced to the Daily File today, read second and third times and placed on final passage.
 "The Secretary called the roll on suspension of the rules on House Bill No. IS, with the following result:
 Yeas, 8: Anderson, Benjamin. Dimond, Dunn,, Hess, Sund- | quist, MT. President.

 Following second and third ] reading, the bill was passed by unanimous vote, as was al. so the attached emergency clause. The measure was signed immediately by Presi' dent Steel and returned to the lower house.

SEDAKWE OUTLOOK
 VERY FAVORABLE

Approximately 800 feet of drifting and cross cutting on the fifth level of the Sebakwe has failed to reveal the full extent of tn big ore body op- ened on that level. Values ap- pear to have diminished some what, during the more recent operations, although general commercial average has appar- ently been maintained during most of the work.
 Official reports issued by the head office of the Sebakwe and District Mines for January and February disclose results as follows:
 January-A total of 146 feet of drifting and cross cutting was done on No. 5 level. Cross cut 507 advanced 5 feet in DOT phyry, making the face 16 feet from the drift.
 (The drift referred to is the main drift, No. 532, which runs through the big ore body north and south. Editor)
 Cross-cut No. 508 was com menced from drift 532 and driven 29 feet. The first 26 feet showed silicified porphy- ny and on the south wall of the crosscut a 5-foot section as saved $24.8O, while the adjoin- ing 5-foot section assayed $8.50. The north wall did not show commercial values.
 February-A total of 137 feet of drifting and crosscutting was done on No. 5 level, in ex- ploring in a southerly direct ion the continuation of the ore body disclosed on this level.
 The main drift, 532, was ad- vanced 89 feet, thus bringing the face 414 feet from the main crOSScut and making. with the 80 feet previously drifted in a northerly direction from the main crosscut, a total of approximately 500 feet of lateral development to date on the mineralized zone. In addit- ion crosscut 51O was advanced 5 feet and crosscuts 511 and 512 were driven 25 and 12 feet, respectively, on either side of drift No. 532, at a distance of 385 feet from the main cross cut (No. 501.)
 Most of the above work was in favorable porphyry, we'll mineralized in places. The values, however, were low, the best being $4 across width if 5 feet. Drift 532 is being con- tinued in a southerly direction in the hope of picking up bet ter values.

LEGISLATURE IN NJ HURRY ID
 ENACT LAWS

1 1 Unlike most of it's predeoes- sors, the present Alaska Legis-
 lature has displayed no incli- nation toward making a record for volume of legislative en- actments, according to the
 latest reports from Juneau. In fact the session bids fair to go down in history as one of the least prolific of the nine that have so far tried their hand at padding the Territorial law books. Up to April 14th, with two-thirds of the session con- pleted, less than twenty-five measures had been enacted in- to law and a major portion of these were of the relief" type, appropriating money for this and that. Few bills of im- 1 portance have so far passed both houses and a number of minor measures passed by one house have been killed in the other.
 l The Steel Controller bill, suc- cessor to the one which split the preceding legislature into warning factions, was passed by the Senate but is not be- lieved likely to pass the House, save possibly after amend ments which will affect wide l alterations in it's tenor. The Board of Control provision, leading feature of the measure, has already been eliminatd by 8 House cemmitteee, although the parts providing for election of a Territorial auditor and treasurer have been retained. The committee recommendat- ions alone embody 35 amend ments to the bill, which had not reached second reading in the House on April II. Among the more important measures introduced are included the following:
 Bill by Rep. Donnelly sug- gesting a Territorial income tax; bill by Dimond and Dunn amending school laws and pro- viding for organization of a Territorial Board of Educat- in, consisting of the governor and six trustees, to be selected by the governor, confirmed by the Senate and to serve without personal remunerat- ion. The present Board of Edu- cation consists of the governor and the four senior senators. The Rothenburg bill increasing old age pensions to $35 month ly passed the House with I amendments limiting future al- I lowances to persons arriving in ! Alaska prior to Dec. 31, 1905. The measure would not affect pensions already allotted. ] A bill by Senator Dimond is for administering small estates at nominal cost. Dimond bills also propose advancing date of convening the legislature to the third Monday in January, and licensing air pilots and regulation of air craft.
 Rep. Benjamin has proposed financial aid to hospitals in 1 municipalities and also terri torial assistance in maintaining public libraries. A bill by Rep.
 Zeigler is to regulate boxing
 by a Boxing Commission. A Shattuck measure empowers
 municipalities to control inter-
 ferences to radio reception
 and a Zeigler bill provides for
 a home for delinquent children I of Alaska.
