 Stewart Reports

Substantial progress is being made in mining development on the west coast of Admiralty Island, accord ing to Mining Supervisor B. D. Stewart who returned here earlier this week after visiting several properties in Funter Bay, the Hark- rader coal mine at Kootznahoo h. let, and a gypsum property at Iyouken Inlet on Chichagof Island, owned by Arvid Anderson and as- sociates. With the exception Of the coal mine, where work has been suspended temporarily, crews were being maintained.
 The most marked activity was at the Alaska Admiralty camp where Sam Pekovich, general manager, is preparing to install mining, milling nd tramming equipment. MT. Stewart spent the larger part of two days there, locating a line for MT. Pekovich and going over the property. While he was there a steamer unloaded a compressor out fit and other machinery. Addi- tional equipment is now enroute and it is expected to have a 250 to 3oO-ton plant in operation there by the end of fall for ore treating and dressing.
 He spent three days at the Will Hams property, aiding MT. Williams with some surveys. He visited at the Alaska Dano mine for a short time. There Charles Otteson and one helper are continuing develop ment work that has been in prog rcss for several years.

THEY STUDIED
JAILS TO GET
IT RIGHT

Penology psychology occupies the
the time of a national authority
on the subject at the Paramount
studio where details of prison life
were probed and uncovered for
the making OF George Bancroft's
new all.talking drama, Thunder
bolt" which is now at the Metro
politan Theater. Helen Gladys
Percey, head of the Paramount
studio research department, is the
authority. She has accumulated
library of 192 volumes and 1,70O
photographs of places Of imprison.
ment in all corners of the world
as part of her equipment.
For the past IL years Miss Percy
has been securing data for screen
plays with prison sequences. and
her collection of exhibits repre-
sents 10 centuries of prisons.
They range from ancient dungeons
where prisoners were literally
buried alive and weighted with
chains, to detailed scenes of the
grim appurtenances of Sing Sing.
Accumulation of this information
was begun in 1915. and it has
been built up by a succession of
pictures dealing with prison life
and convicts-''F Forever" "City of
Silent Men," "Manslaughter," ''Un.
derworld" and "The Drag Net"
and Ladies of the Mob"
The latest picture to seek Miss
Percey's services is Bancroft's
gripping picture of the Harlem
underworld, "Thunderbolt." The
final sequences in this powerful
all.talking successor to Under.
world" take place in the con-
demned row at Sing Sing. Miss
Percy had to provide a fun de-
scription Of the exterior of Sing
Sing prison, the prisoners gate,
the death house, view from a
cell window, the interior of the
Bertillon room and information on
the daily routine and customs of
the prisoners.
