In an attempt to decrease accl- ing the winter months, First Sc lcctman Leon G. Hall has issued d warning relevant to the use of the streets in the town as cOasting places. The turnpike has ever been Il hazardous place for coasters and the use of Berlin street and Gal pins and Damon's hills as sliding rlaccs will not be tolerated this Ncar, according to the selcctmen. In llcnsington the Usc of Pennington avenue beyond Upsons' corner anG Iangdon court is froWncd upon by town authorities and violators of these orders will be dealt with when caught
 Langdon court at the present time is one of the most dangerous corners in this vicinity. With d steep grade and a long slope tN- tending into the yard of the Gos5 and DeLeeuw Mfg. Co.,, the street las been considered ideal for coast ing in the past. But the possibll l1cs of accident ere so great, due 10 the heavy traffic from and to New Britain, that it is now though, to be one of the most dangerous hills in town. Pennington avenue is also considered dangerous beyond Upson's corner. There is very little traffic on the hill beyond inc corner but coasters using this hill cannot stop at the corner and keep on go- ing on the paved road, creating hazardous conditions.
 In Berlin, Damon's hill is consid cred unsafe not only because 1t $ enc of the heaviest travelled roads IT. town but because of the intersection at the bottom where school street comes in. Galpin's hill has always been considered dangerous and the use of that place has been strictly prohibited in the past. Hudson street appears to be the only place in town which might lend itself for use as a coasters paradise, but even this is used by autos.
 Enforcing the laws regarding use of the hills on the traveled sections of the highway is the most difficult part of making them in the opinion of the scleCtmcn. As there are no officers patrollIng the streets during the day it is almost impossible 10 keep children off the hills. The :hatter should be referred to the parents and to school authorities to advise children to keep off of the streets, in the opinion of Mir. Hall, or 1t is almost next to impossible for town authorities to enforce these provisions.

 A copper strike. believed to be of far greater importance than any similar ore discovery in the history of the Portland Canal dis trict, has been made on the lower reaches of the Portland Canal by Sam Robinson. an Indian prospec- tor, and not only promises to de- velop into a rich copper producer but has also resulted in the discov- cry of an hitherto unknown mineral belt along the Alaska side of Port land Canal.
 Samples of the ore have been found by carefully checked assays made by several assayers to contain copper. values ranging from 4 to 21 per cent, with an additional silver content of from 4 to 10 ounces per ton.

 Heroic Work

Capt. Gus Nord, master of the ill-fated steamer Aleutian and Capt Miller and Capt. Simpson, pilots of the Aleutian, with the remainder of the crew of 115 who were rescued when the steamer hit an uncharted rock off Amook Is- land and sunk last Sunday morn ing, were southbound passengers on the Admiral Evans which was in Juneau southbound this morn ing.
 Capt. Nord expressed deep re- gret at losing his vessel but highly praised the conduct of his crew and their splendid action from the time the uncharted rock was struck, tearing through the bottom of the steamer, until they arrived at the cannery at Larson Bay.
 Fortunately the crew of the Aleu- tian was up and on deck, as the steamer had stopped at can nery short time before, and were able to get at the life boats i'm mediately when the steamer struck, Capt. Miller. pilot, who was on watch at the time the uncharted rock was hit, said.
 When asked if the seven minutes time in which the Aleutian was reputed to have gone down after hitting the rock was exaggerated, Capt Miller pulled out his watch, which stopped when he hit the water, just nine minutes after the steamer struck Out of the 39 passengers aboard and the 115 members of the crew, only three were in the water.
 There was absolutely no panic or excitement. Everyone worked rapidly and calmly to get the boats out. loaded and in the water" Capt. Miller said.
 He was one of the few to get in the water as he was sent aft to the radio office to send an sos by Capt Nord, and jumped as the ship punged into the sea.
 The water where the ship went down is between 29 and 49 fathoms deep. according to Capt. Miller, and no hope is entertained as to the possibility of salvaging it. [
