The Gold Bear Mining Com- pany of Los Angeles has install- ed a new Herman Ball Mill on the Gold Cord property on Fish-hook Creek. For the past two seasons this company has had a gang of men employed de- veloping the property and a number of tons of ore was ship ped to the Tacoma smelter for treatment. A crew of about 1lf- teen is at work at the present time.
 A mining engineer named Mcdonald was sent to Willow Creek this spring to sample the ore on the properties of the Alas ka Free Gold and the Independ- ence on Fish-hook Creek. A Ca nadian outfit is behind the Ven- ture, and if the results come up to expectations both properties will be worked on a large scale this coming year.

LONDON, April 15.-The Sunday Ex-
press said the temperance issue may fol-
the flrst time In English history play an
important role In the outcome OF the
general election, now only six weeks
away.
For q long time the drys have been
inArshaling their forces, but this has
been done so quietly that the country
as q whole has not realized the stu
alton. The Express declares that be-
tween q million and half and two
million voters will 60 to the polls
pledged to temperance.
The drys are not attempting to run
temperance candidates of their own, but
have arranged to throw their vote to
the candidate, irrespective OF party, who
pledges himself or herself to temperance
reform.
1O,oOo Key Workers Enrolled.
Temperance headquarters state they
have 30,000 energetic key workers dis
trihuted throughout the country for the
campaign. They have been devoting
much attention to young men and wom-
en- who will vote for the first time and
also to women as whole, since feni-
nine voters are In a majority in Eng

Possible Result FOreseen.
! '.If Is many as 100000 votes are
polled for temperance in May, with the
possibility Of increased numbers at flu
tIre elections, the country may wake
tlp on the day after q general election
to discover that a majority Of members
returned to the House Of Commons are
pledged to temperance reform.
The newspaper quotes an unnamed
Oficial as saying: Temperance reform
ers are wrong in thinking that they
have the support of young voters. The
vote Of the cocktail fiapper is far greater
than the vote of Sunday school flappers

No Great Crime Wave.

II figures alone meant anything, one
would be justified in the conclusion
that Washington has a permanent wave
of crime. For in the last fiscal year
there were $4,000 more arrests than in
the preceding fiscal year, more than
one NTH of the population was seized
by the hands of the law and there was
an increase of nearly 100 per cent in
the number of arrests for murder. But
Washineton's wave of crime is merely
ripple compared to the waves In
some other sections of the Nation. And
analysis of the Police Departments
statistical record Of arrests holds COM
fort in the thought that we are not
bound inevitably to the bSw-wows.
Traffic arrests alone accounted for
more than one-half the total. Mis-
demeanors, which include drunkenness,
made up nearly a fifth, and while there
were nearly twice as many arrests for
murder In the fiscal year 1929 as In
1928. the number of arrests for felonieS
showed decline. Only in the case Of
the murders does there seem to be
cause for any trepidation, and it is
questionable whether there need be
undue alarm there. The number of
arrests follows closely the number OF
murder cases reported. In 1925 there
were 81 cases; in 1926. AZ; in 1927,
80; in 1928, SO, and in 1929. so. This
is probably record number, but the
police point out that next year may
show a decrease that will bring the
number below average. No great sig
nif1cance is attached to the increase
in the number of cases now, but a
more painstaking analysis of the figures
may prove interesting as to the primal
causes.
