 It will require, MT. Beck said, $25,O00 to put the mine into opera ton on paying basis. This sum he added, will be raised locally by stock subscriptions. In fact, of the $25 ,O00, pledges amounting to ap- proximately $14,000 have been ob- tained and he was confident that local investors would subscribe the remaining $11,000 in Q very short time.
 All of the finances so far used by the company have been Juneau capital It. is a bona fide local proposition and it is the intention 'of the company to keep it that way" MT. Beck said.
 The necessary development work remaining to be done includes driving of an air shaft, construction of coal bunkers and putting in a water system on the property A working tunnel has been driven on six-foot vein of coal to the depth of 680 feet. At that depth the bed leveled off.
 When these additional improve ments have been made, the com pany is assured by competent en- gineers that 10 men can produce 50 tons of high grade coal daily. Il has a local market for that pro duction at very profitable figure MT. Beck said.

Dr. P. s. Smith Is Hopeful of Immediate Develop

Southeastern Alaska is one of the most promising sections and the most likely of immediate develop ment, declared Dr. Phillip s. Smith, Chief Alaskan Geologist, to the Chamber of Commerce today. He arrived this morning from trip around the world and is getting in touch with recent developments here and the progress of the sea- sons work of the United States Geological Survey in the Territory.
 Dr. Smith left Washington last April to attend the triennial meet ing of the Pacific Science Congress, officially representing the United States, in Batavia, Java. He re- turned to San Francisco July 9, and came at once to Alaska.

 River strikes was received here He said he received it with pleas ure and hopefulness that they would result in substantial development. Southeastern Alaska, he added, from the standpoint of immediate de- velopment has the most promising outlook of any section of Alaska.
 The Geological Survey, recogniz- ing that fact is launching a com prehensive program in which the aerial mapping now being done by Navy planes is but the initial step. The next step will be to re- duce the aerial photographs to drainage maps. This will be fol- lowed by topographers in the field to make topographic maps, and these in turn will be the basis for fie,1 studies by geologists.
 At the conclusion or mapping operations this season between 15,- 900 and 18000 square miles in Southeastern Alaska will have been mapped. Years of activity win be required to carry out the program of which this is the foundation.
 Hopes for Increases
 Now that we have an engineer as President, we hope to be able to get more funds and thus in- crease our work in Alaska than has been possible in the past" Dr. Smith said. Tt is my belief that the Geological Survey will con- duct it's local work very much more vigorously in Southeastern Alaska and elsewhere than was

 He came to Alaska to look over the work here and lay plans for future activities. In addition to MT. Sargents work in Southeastern Alaska, and B. D.

County appeared in immediate prospect
today as result of tacit ult:matum
issued by Gov, Dan Moody yesterday
that all peace officers must resign or
see their authority assumed by State
military forces. The affected officers
gave no indication that they would

with the governor.
Gov. Moody said in statement con-

After quoting from reports compiled
from the investigations of Texas
rangers, special prosecutor and a
personal representative, Gov. Moody
told newspaper men wholesale resig-

Hutchinson County was the only thing
that could avert martial law.
At Berger Sheriff Joe Ownbey and
Mayor Glenn A. Pace refused to COM
ment on the statement until they heard
it formally from Moody himself.
The governor said his investigators
reported that officials of Berger, a
turbulent boom town. were not sup
pressing crime as they should. that law
abiding citizens we're inundated, that
certain officers had conspired with the
criminal element, that peace officers
had accepted money for protecting the

in the event Of martial law. Five Texas
rangers are in the town now and four
more are available at very short notice.
II was thought, however, that between
so and 80 National Guardsmen might
be brought in from nearby towns in the
Panhandle.
The rangers at Berger last night in
