to compensate for the loss of an aliens life.
 There is a trite saying of Pres. ident Wilson to the effect that Legislation is generally con- ceived for the benefit of the few and not in the interest of the many" and it certainly ap- plies to some of the actions of the Alaska legislature. Why on earth a body of men select ed to represent the people of the Territory should incorpor- ate in their compensation act a feature so unjustly adverse to citizenship is beyond my com prehension.
 There were several men in the 1927 session who vigorously opposed this feature of the compensation law but there were also several slick fellows who were working for their masters-the large mine oper- ators- and they were able to secure a majority of votes for the measure.
 I, of course, would have you understand that 1 am in favor of a workmans compensation act for Alaska and I raise no question regarding amounts fixed in the present law for in- jury or death but l believe the whole act a most unscientific hodge-podge and should be changed to conform with the cooperative methods that thave been adopted by many of the States. l believe the revenues of the Territory are ample to allow participation by the Ter ritory in the payment of com pensation to injured workmen.
 It is possible that other busi- ness organizations in Alaska may take this matter up and make it an issue for the next election of legislative mem bers. It seems to me that la boring men throughout Alaska should be informed regarding the strange compensation law they are now working under and they might make some ef- fort to have it changed.
 At least a citizen of the Unit ed States resident in Alaska ought to be informed that his legislative representatives have discriminated against him in securing employment, and have by law made aliens pre- felred employees.
 Sincerely yours,

FREE GOLD STRIKE
 ON TEXAS CREEK
 LOOKS IMPORTANT

lAS NAONONSAJ HI ACNCllI 00y . of a vein of free milling gold ore on the north slope of Band ed Mountain, situated along the southerly border of Chicka- min Glacier, has created some thing of a sensation in local mining circles and also has re- suited in a veritable stampede of practically all the miners and prospectors along the west fork of Texas creek, according to reliable reports from that section.
 The discovery vein is said to carry high values on the sur face, samples assaying nearly $12,000 per ton having been obtained by the discoverers, Messrs. w. w. Metcalf and Joseph Fendley, during their prospecting activities.
 The property on which the strike was made is situated on the northerly slopes of Band ed Mountain, about 8 miles from the projected end of the new government highway now under construction up the west fork of Texas Creek and about midway between the head of that stream and the Chicka- min River. The property is said to be easily accessible by way of the Chickamin trail.
 From the meager details so far obtainable it appeers that the discovery was made near the lower end of a great quartz zone which extends up the slope of the mountain several thousand feet. Messers Met calf and Fendley, according to statements made by them to several parties, failed to find ore of value in the higher extensions of this zone, but lower down they encountered a section of the outcrop show ing narrow stringers and veins of ore carrying perceptible quantities of free gold. At the point of discovery the vein is reported to have been stripped over a width of eleven feet.
 According to statements made by the discoverers to other prospectors in the locality, samples taken from this area have yielded assay returns running over $11,500 per ton.
 in addition to its possible inn portance as a source of gold production, the strike is given an increased interest owing to being the first discovery of free gold ore ill place that has been made up to this time in the Texas district, where the ores heretofore found have been uniformly of typical silver lead-zinc type. These ores car ny usually moderate gold val ues but so far as known none have been found carrying gold in sufficient quantity to be seen. Occasional finds of float gold ore have been reported, as in the case of the large piece assaying over $13,000 per ton found on the Marietta group last year. These, however, have been entirely dissimilar to the prevailing ores of the district and no success was found in attempting to locate their source.
 It is the general opinion in mining circles that the discov-

becoming one of the most im- portant made in the Hyder district and further details are being eagerly awaited.

DELEGATE ENDORSES LOCAL PROTEST OF
 COMPENSATION ACT

Efforts of the Hyder Cham Der of Commerce to direct at tention to the need for drastic alterations in the present Alas ka workmens compensation law is now attracting the at tention of other territorial com mercial organizations and the various officials and newspap- CTS to whom copies of the re- cent vigorous resolution of pre- test passed by the local body were sent some days ago.
 Judging from comments ap- bearing in the press and in let ters received from individuals and organizations it is very probable that the local protest against the distinctly inhibitive and highly discriminatory pro- vision of the act will be strong ly supported during the next legislative session.
 Included among the answers so far received is the following communication from Dan. Sutherland, Alaska delegate to Congress, in which he sets forth in no uncertain terms his views regarding the law. I The communication, dated July II, reads as follows: Your communication of July End transmitting a copy of the resolutions passed by the Hy- der Chamber of Commerce on June 4th with reference-to the Alaska Workmens Compensat- ion Act is at hand.
 Although action to correct the most unusual and unsound features of the compensation act of the 1929 legislature does not lie within my province as Congressional Represent ative but is strictly a matter for the Alaska legislature to hand le, I feel that I am warranted in saying to you that for sever al past sessions of the legislat- ure proposals have been made to adopt a workmans compen- sation for the Territory that would be based upon the mod ern ideas of some of the pro- gressive states but invariably the proposal has been rejected and we still cling to the anti quated form of the original Alaska Compensation Act.
 During the last political cam paign in the Territory 1 called public attention to the ridicu- lous feature that was enacted in the session of 1927 whereby a premium was placed upon the employment of alien work men in Alaska industry. Sever al candidates for the legislat- ure announced that they would try to have that objectionable feature of the Jaw repealed but it is evident that nothing was done to correct it at the recent session.
 Thus an alien has every advan- tage over a citizen when seek ing employment, particularly in the mines.
 This feature was placed in the law simply because a large number of young aliens are employed in some of the larger quartz mines of the Territory. Certainly a mine operator is going to employ an alien in preference to citizen when under the law it costs twice as much to compensate for the loss of a citizen's life as it does

3. IF P. ROADS HEAD. WILLIAMS,
 DISCUSSES WORK
NEW TRESTLE OVER RESURREC- TION FLAT MAY BE BUILT
 WITHIN A YEAR

An interesting speaker at yester- days regular business meeting and luncheon of the Seward Chamber ot Commerce was M. D. Williams, district U. s. bureau of public roads, who is making an inspection tour of this vicinity
 MT. Williams appears quite sat isfied with the progress being made by the men under his supervision and toe funds appropriated for the purpose of his department and re- marked that the difference in this vicinity was made noticeable to him last Sunday and Monday when he completed in 24 hours, a trip to Girdwood, where extensive road york is being carried on this seascn. than back to Moose Pass and over the Moose Pass highway tc Hope and return, tour which required him week to make five years ego with the assistance of horses and boats.
 "The Moose Pass road is in excel lent condition" he said, ''and the Girllwood road and the radio road gre coming along fine" The work tt Afognak will be inspected next.
 Speaking about the one-mile ex- tension of the Seward -Kenai lake highway, which has been requested several times in the past by resi- dents of Seward, Lawing and Mile 13, Mr. Williams said he favored the project for several reasons, and tho lie was unable to state just when lLnds would be available for the work, he would have the survey r1adc this summer. This would ;ffoid a more picturesque termina- tion ot the highway, he told the members, "and I see you need a better place to launch and tie up your boats, in accordanc with the increase in boating activities that note is taking place out there" He intimated thats a ferry landing could better be established at this roint, for making ferry connections with Lakeview on the Alaska Rail- r ad in the event the Moose Pass road is continued to Lakeview, 3 project that Mir Williams deems feasible. and not a too distant pos- sibilitv
 MT. Williams was asked his opin- ion on the proposed trestle across Snow river at Mile 14 and a contin- uance of the auto road from that point to Moose Pass; to which he replied that the terrain on the other side of Snow river and Kenai ake, between Mile 14 and Lakeview. was far too hazardous on account of snow slides, etc., and that the cost of maintenance ftor ;+c oox,

struction would be very great. From I .akeview or Lawing, however, no SeriouS obstacles would be encoun- tered in constructing road to Moose Pass.
 MT. Williams ended his talk by stating that new bridge, replac- inc the long wooden structure over the Resurrection river flat at Mile x. on 1ne Seward Kenai lake high way would probably be provided for within the next year.

GERMANS FRIENDS
 OF LEGIONNA|RES
Former Enemy Soldiers Attend
 Post Meetings in Rochester

Lancaster, x. Y. Sept. 2S.-As far as this pleasant city is concerned. the World War and it's international riyalries have been completely for gotten.
 Nine former members Of the Imperial German Army of Will helm II, living in Lancaster, have established themselves as the boon cmpanions of the former douGhboys, gobs and leatherneclis of the local American Legion post
 Ever since last Memorial Day, when the LeEionaires invited the former German soldiers to march with them in the parade. the Ger man war veterans have been bud dies of their former enemies A num- hcr of them have attended meet ings Of the Legion post here, and all of them have been entertained in the homes of the Legion men.
 One Of the Germans Is Richard EngeIfricd. who was at one time known as the youngest pilot in the German air forces. He Spo:,e at a Legion meeting recently, describing his experiences as a member of a German combat patrol on the east "rn front It happened that all Of Engelfried's s service was against the Russians, so that none of his war "ndeavors had been directed against the Americans who made up his au- dienco.
 Ingclfried expects to get his final American citizenship papers soon, and as soon as he has them hopes 10 enter some branch of aviation.
 The other eight German veterans served in the infantry, artillery and machine gun battalions Three of lhcm bear wounds sustained in ac- ton, and five of them are proud poss"ssors of the Iron Cross.
 Karl Brunning, late of the sui eide squad" as the machine gun companies in the German army were called, is the original hard luck member of the group. He va, wounded three times. the last wound being received on the morning of Nov II, 1918. a brief hour or so be- ! fore the armistiCe ended all hostili. ! ties. This last wound nearly cos | him his life, and he was kept in z i hospital for year by it.
