There does not seem to be any considerable extent of the better values located in last seasons work. Further pros pecting should be done next season. The high grade silver lead ores located last season on the Bitter Creek group have had some work done on them. This development work has not shown up any quantity of ore. Considerable surface pros pecting has been done and some showings located which warrant a small amount of de- velopment which will be un- dertaken next year. Operat- ions have been carried for ward in satisfactory and economical manner and the company is now interested in properties, one of which at least gives indication of becom- ing a producer.
 Results of the seasons activi- ties not included in the report are the shipment of 30 tons of high grade from the Blackhill, details of which will be found in another column, and the shipment of 6 tons of native silver-bearing ore from the Melvin group.

BLACKHILL MAKES ]. FURTHER SHIPMENT
 OF HIGH GRADE

That the Blackhill property of the Black Hill Mining Co.,, in the Bear River section, is the most successful new develop of the year is indicated by the dispatch of a second shipment of high grade ore on the steam CT Mogul this week.
 The shipment consisted of 20 tons, which is said to run well over $100 in gold, silver, lead and zinc.
 Another shipment of ten tons of the same ore was sent to the Selby smelter a short time age.
 The shipments are said to be from the No. 3 tunnel, which is being run on a vein of good commercial ore carrying an av- craze of foot of ore assaying over $100.
 An ore car and rails were taken to the property last week.

INTERIOR SNOWFALL
 UNUSUALLY HEAVY

Reports from Interior Alaska disclose that in spite of an ex- ceptionally rainy summer, that section of the Territory has ex- perienced fall of snow far deeper than the average for early winter. Many of the lo- cal weather prophts predicted that only light fall of snow would follow the wet summer, but with a month of winter gone, their predictions have been decidedly off. With the exception of Rapids, on the Richardson Highway, Fair banks and Fort Yukon appear to hold the lead for depth. Ft. Yukon had z inches, the same as Point Barrow, while Fair banks lacked onlya half-inch of that amount. Rapids had "A inches of snow at the same time.

LOCAL BENEFIT FOR
 OLD PIONEERS

|
 The annual Christmas fund drive for the inmates of the Pioneers Home at Sitka, start ed three years ago by w. D. Gross, owner of the Coliseum motion picture theatres in Jun- eau and Ketchikan, is to be ex- tended to Hyder Sunday even- ing with the presentation at the movie show of a complete motion picture program donat- ed for the occasion by MT. Gross.
 The program, Of which de- details will be found in another section, will be presented un- der the auspices of the local branch of the Pioneers of Alaska, which will bear the entire expense of production, so that the entire proceeds of the show can be added to other collections for the benefit of the old pioneers in the Home. To further assist the benefit, the picture show management will not present a program until the following Sunday, thus in effect donating the profits of one show.
 There is now scarcely a com munity of any size in Alaska which does not send a contri- button to the fund, which is de- signed not only to give the old timers at Sitka a bit of real Christmas cheer but also to provide them with little extra comforts and luxuries not SUD- piled by the Home. Substan- tial contributions are also sub- scribed by residents of Seattle, Portland and other Pacific Coast centers. The custom pro- vides a splendid testimonial of the kindness and thoughtful ness of Alaskans for those who have borne the trials and hard ships of early pioneer days and made easier the paths of those who followed them; but who themselves failed to find a competence for their declining years. The spirit of Christmas cannot be displayed in a more beneficent manner than by at tending the benefit and help ing to bring a bit of comfort and help to the old trail-blaz- CTS, who now can do no more than sit idle and lonely and gaze into the sunset of life's efforts and dreams.

 In the opinion of experienced mining men, the property is one of unusual promise and contains an immense zone ot ore from which high gold val ues have been obtained. This ore body is said to range up to forty feet in width in places and apparently extends from the lower slopes of Banded Mountain, on the Chickamin River side, entirely over the summit of the more than 5000 foot peak.
 Five assays made from samp- les taken from the Metcalf and Finley property during the course of development work early this year gave returns ranging from $2.8O to $9O.87, while an average sample taken over eight feet gave a return of slightly over $90, according to one of the owners.
 In concluding his letter, MT. Butler indicated that he would probably be in Hyder in the near future.

DRY LAW
OFFENDERS GO
into PRISONS
Federal Court Leniency
Prevents 0vercrowding
of Penitentiaries.

By Scripps-Hopa,d Newspaper AHiance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Leni-
ency of federal judges in sentencing
prisoners convicted of violating the
prohibition law is the prime factor
in preventing federal penitentiaries
from becoming hopelessly over
crowded.
This Is shown by an analysis OF
crime conditions made by Herbert
D. Brown, chief of the United States
bureau of efficiency, in connection
with recent congressional investi-
cations of federal prisons.
Browns study discloseS although
prohibition cases constitute the ma
jority of federal court cases, the per-
centage of prison sentences imposed
Is extremely small. Brown points
out although SO per cent of all fed
eral court convictions in 1926 were
against prohibition law violators
only per cent of this number were
sentenced to federal penitentiaries.
at Is a significant fact a very
much greater proportion of those
who violate the drug laws and the
automobile theft act are sentenced
to penitentiaries than are those who
violate the prohibition act" he said.
I'm 1926 there were $40 con-
victions under the drug act, and Of
this number 1910 or 80 per cent,
were sentenced to one Of the three
federal prisons"
In the same year only 765 men
out of 37,0l8 convicted for prohi-
bition law violations were sentenced
to federal penitentiaries. Had the
same percentage been maintained as
In auto theft and narcotic law cases
1t would have been impossible to find
space In federal prisons to keep the
prisoners.
Even with this tendency Of federal
judges to be lenient with prohibition
law violators, department Of justice
records more than 1000 prisoners
are being received each year for this
offense. Last year 466 prohibition
law offenders were sentenced to At
lanta penitentiary; $40 to Leaven-
worth and 81 to Mcneil Island, a
total OF 1,O67.

EGYPT TREATY
PROPOSALS Stir

Conservative Press Against
Restoring Liberty to

By HENRY T. RUSSELL
United Press staf Correspondent

LONDON, Aug. 7.-Publication OF
the text of proposals for an Anglo
Egyptian treaty, released today by
the British foreign Office, has
aroused a wide range Of comment.
Although the laborites consider
the proposals, outgrowth Of con-
YerSationS between Arthur Hender-
son, British foreign minister, and
Premier Mahmoud PaSha of Egypt,
constitute the first real step to-
ward settlement Of the thorny prob
lem, the majority of the press ap-
pears Skeptical.
The laborite Daily Herald calls
the proposals "Egypt's opportunity"
while the independent Daily Express
refers to them as amazing treaty
proposals"
The Conservative Morning Post,
recalling that Egypt has never been
Self-governing, says that the first
impression of this extreme limit is
that it is Ill calculated either for
the peace OF Egypt or Cne SaIeCy Ol
the British empire"
The Daily Express Is of the opin-
ION that if Egypt returns to dis
order and corruption, another power
will intervene and that what
British arms have won and British
administrators have preserved only
can be thrown away by the sheer
Sinking of plain duty"
The Daily Telegraph reminds 1t Is
Hardly five years since British and
other foreign nationals we're being
murdered in the streets of Alex
endria."
NOW" it continued, at is pro-
posed that British protection shall
be withdrawn without reserve" and
adds that the withdrawal of
British troops completes the pic
kure of insecurity to be held up for
the contemplation of Washington
and Rome"

approved by the Egyptian cabinet
