PHIL JOLIE ENTHUSES
 ABOUT TAKU DISTRICT

Phil Jolie, who returned on the Jazz from the Taku district is one of the most enthusiastic prospectors to return to Juneau. In his opinion the Taku and Tulsequah> districts are the most beautiful he has ever seen, as well as being rich in min- eral and game.
 Claims staked by his partner, Paul Black, well known prospector, and himself lie almost on the boundary line, but on the American side, on the side of Taku River on which Twin Glacier Camp is To- cated The camp they established was attacked several times by brown bear, and they were forced to shoot two, MT. Jolie declared. Many moose and moose tracks were seen by them in the vicinity of the camp.
 At the time the Tulsequah River overflowed last week, MT. Jolie and his partner were near the head of the river and were forced to aban- don camp by the rising water. A number of people lost boat, motors and supplies when the water rose suddenly from normal to eight feet, MT. Jolie said.
 He expects to return to Taku next Tuesday and remain until winter when he will come out on snow shoes to the mouth of the Taku.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3l-When Sam Katz was a boy in high school on Chicago's west side, back in 1908, be used to hurry from classes to a aiagy nickeiodeon in the neighbor- hood, where for $16 a week he played the piano from suppertime until the last show was over.
 And when Romance flickered ell the screen in the little movie house that had been a grocery store, Sam lapsed into the melody of Castles in the Air" and conjured from the twanging keys a vision of the cas- tie he was going to build some day
 He is building it now, on a moun- tainside above the Palisades of the Hudson near New City, N. Y. It will be ready in a few months for him and his bride.
 His bride is Eleanora Ambrose, the dancer. When Sam was play ing nickelodeon piano she was Eleanor Puckett, daughter of a Newton, Kas., merchant policeman. She came to New York; she met, danced with and married Maurice Mouvet; and for one lustrous year, until Matrices death in 1926, she shared with him the mantle of the Castles and the applause of SUD- per-club habitues from Broadway to the Riviera.
 Katz played the piano until he had saved money enough to buy the nickelodeon. Then he took into partnership his father Morris, a Jewish barber who had brought his family of six to Chicago, from Rus sia when Sam was four months old. They saved, bought more nickelodeons and went into part nership with the four Balabans.
 Twelve years ago the partners built in Chicago the first of the deluxe mOIlOn picture houses WHICH now dot the nation.
 The mansion that Sam Katz is building for his bride is the central edifice on an estate which encom- passes mountain on the west bank of the Hudson vrier, 25 miles above New York.
 The estate also has hundred room manor for guests, sumptu- ous theatre of it's own, stables, ten his courts and swimming pools, a garage with space for 150 motor cars-even an air-cooling plant to keep temperatures temperate in all buildings on torrid summer days.
