QUARTZ MINES NEAR
 UNGA NOW APPEAR
 BETTER THAN EVER

Thirty-one years ago Frank R. Brown opened up the once famous quartz mines in the Territory, the Apollo and the Sitka, near Unga. From these prospects from three to four millions Of dollars were taken. The ore vein in the Apollo was lost and the Sitka became flooded in the latter hundreds of thousands Iof dollars Of ore had been blocked out.
 Two years ago MI. Brown, who has remained almost permanently in that vicinity, has kept up the quest for the lost vein and when, last fall announcement was made by A. H. Bradford, who is now asso- ciated with him, that he believed the vein had been picked up on Popoff Island, an adjoining island, interest has ran high among min ing men as we'll as to the residents out that way for a revival of the quartz mining industry tn ere means everything to the country
 Aside from his cannery interests, MT. Bradford, who is perhaps one of the best known of Westward men, is graduate engineer. In his statements to the press to date, and especially to the Gateway, which first published his first interview, MT. Bradford has been very careful in cautioning against eXtravagant and misleading statements and in his recent interview with & repre- sentative of this paper two weeks ago, at False Pass, he was as con- servative as he was a year ago, with the exception that, due to an assay made some months ago, the propo- sition looks better than ever

 From the Popoff Island prospect

BULLDOG DRUMMOND"
 COMING TO PALACE

The sets which Samuel Goldwyn prepared for his production of Bulldog Drummond," coming to the Palace theatre soon with Ron aid Colman as the star, represent new departure in moving picture technique. Art authorities have pronounced them the most interest ing development in the artistic side of the picture industry since the influence of continental camera technique first became felt in this country.
 The public has long been accus- toned to what are called camera angles" in connection with pictures. The camera is set at unusual an- gles so as to create a harmonizing dramatic mood through the per spectives obtained. But in "Bull- dog Drummond,' for the first time the weird angles which lend mys- tery and fear to this story of tor 5ure and murder were built into the iets instead of being developed by shifting the camera.

Attractions At Theatres
THE BARKER" IS
 NOW AT PALACE

Every once in a while picture comes along that takes us com- pletely out of ourselves and trans ports us into new and unfamiliar environment For a time we live the lives of the players in the story, suffer vicariously and joy with them in their triumphs.
 Such picture is "The Barker, !" which opened last evening at the Palace Theatre. It is a George Fitzmaurice special production for First National, and has Milton Stills in the title role as the spieler in the little third-rate carnival troupe. Sills has never given better work to a role. It is shaded so finely, re- strained where needed and fam boyant where the characterization demanded expressiveness.
 Dorothy Mackaill is co-starred IS the girl Lou. She plays the part with just the proper degree of abandonment, the pathetic desire for a clean atmosphere and a real love is expressed with delicacy and comprehension.
 Betty Compson is admirable as the Barker's sweetheart, and Doug las Fairbanks, Jr, is excellent as the con of the same hardened indi- yidual, whose only soft spot is his love for his boy.

Editor, Times:
Ten years ago the people OF
America voted to include IN the
supreme law of the land, the Con.
stitution, a provision against the
manufacture, sale and use ot
LIQUOR. Now, after 10 years OF
trial, the wonderful vision which
led them to the polls has 'aned.
and the majority Of them are
either honestly opposing the law
or are secretly violating 1t.
An old, experienced member Of
the bar once said to 9 young
man who was studying law:
! When, In nation with rep.
resentative government, the ma
jority Of people are opposed to a
law, and when that law is clearly
demonstrated to be unenfurce'
able, then the time has come
when it should be wiped fcorA
the statute books. Indeed, there
is room to question whether, In
a government by the people, such
a law Is right"
This declaration is an accurate
description of the things which
have happened under the regime
of prohibition. It is unpopular,
it is unenforceable, and 1t is
regularly violated by millions OF
people ranging from the ashman
to the Congressman.
The good people Of America,
who voted for the dry law conf
dent in the belief that it would
turn the country into model
for all nations of the earth, have
come to the realization that they
were led by a small band OF mar
row, higoted reformers who were
intent upon minding the other
mans business for him. The peo-
pie have learned that the rosy
scenes in the great desert OF
prohibition" painted for them by
that band of bigotS in the guiSe
of angels, were mirageS and that
instead of a blessing prohibition
has proved a curse.
When such conditions prevail,
there is nothing to do but right
them in the best way possible
by changing the law from its pres
ent inflexible and unreasonable
form to one which allows the
pure, wholesome beverages that
the people demand.
There have been several articles
in the newspapers lately about a
young mems organization known
as the Crusaders, who oppose the
return of saloons, but asks modi-
fication Of the present laws. Such,

weighs this consideration.
I know that there are many
young men and women who,

and the advice of their elders,

lives, whereas these same young
people, before the advent Of pro-
hibition with its incessant cam
paign of education against the
LIQUOR evil, would have undoubt-
edly fallen as victims to the lure
of drink.
If the Literary Digest poll can
really be taken to indicate
that the country holds some re-
sentiment against the prohibition
law, then it can be taken to indi-
cate that the country is shocked
in the consideration of the few
lives that have been lost in the
enforcement of prohition and Is
shocked to such an extent that it
Is entirely overlooking the great
good that the law has done to
the country.
