PERSEVERANCE . FIRE DETAILS
 ARE REVEALED
Believed to Have Started by Accident in Old
 Boarding House

A carelessly dropped cigaret or match is believed to have started the fire that resulted in the de- struction of most of the big build ings of the famous old Perseverance camp of the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company, according to eye witnesses of the conflagration. The flames were first seen about 4:30 pm. by J. A. Macdonald, messen- ger of the Governors Office, it was learned today.
 The fire was at the main camp up on the hillside. It destroyed all of the group of large buildings there except the old office building and the house that was the home of the mine superintendent for several years.
 It started in the big boarding house, apparently on the top floor, MT. Macdonald said. Almost as socn as he reached. the old settle ment in the flat below the mine structures, he observed smoke com

On excrutiatingly funny mar riage-life comedy is due on the screen of the Palace Theatre, start ing tonight, when Modern Love-" a Universay feature made with Jean IIersholt in the leading role, sup ported by Charley Chase and Kath- ryn Crawford will be presented.
 Beatrice Van wrote the story as delicious satire on fifty-fifty mar riage and the modern trend of sep arate establishments for husband and wife, with the bride holding on to her job after marriage. The author does not attempt to preach a sermon or draw any lessons, but confines herself to the building up of a story showing the funny com plications that could happen under such an arrangement.

 Famed by a brisk wind, the flames soon spread to other nearby buildings and roared in the valley like 8 huge furnace. The heat was intense, making it uncomfortable even in the flat below. MT. Mac Donald remained at the scere about two and one-half hours, by which time the buildings had been reduced to mass of coals. There was no way of combating the fire, he said, and nothing to be done except watch the destruction of what at one time, and up to seven years ago, had been one of Alaskas most famous mining projects.

 The smaller residences, school house, and other buildings on the flat were not endangered.

Expansion programmes were
progressing rapidly. Large sums
OF money were being spent for ad-

the expansion programme the

subjected to sharp upswings and
were usually very actively dealt

it failed to show any volurle

Optimism Gains Hold
AS Summer Season
Enters Final Week

Optimism is gaining a firme~
foothold, as the summer vacation
season enters its final week.
Favorable news Is outwelghing
the unfavorable. People are pay.
ing more attention to the present,
and their jobs, as the realization
is brought home that two and
two make four and not five or
six.
The drought, which has had a
depressing effect on sentiment
and extended the cautious buying
period Is behind us. There has
been some improvement In busi-
ness, and further evidence of this
is found in the trade reports and
news Of this week. Everything
points to a continuance of this
trend at least through the
autumn months, with the posi-.
biltty OF some slowing down dur
ing the winter and a sustained
recovery in the spring.
The. stock market has extended
its gains in the face of stiff op.
position. If it Is able to resist
any substantial liquidation of Sc.
cur1tieS in the next two months
1t Is safe to assume the lows of
last June will not be seen for
some time.
Market at August l Levels
The stock market has sw,no
back to around July's closing lev.
els. Practically all groups, with
the exception Of the rails, haze
made up the losses sustained the
first OF this month. The rebound
has been as sharp as the decline
and is due entirely to profes.
stonal operators.
The market started up Friday
a week ago, turned reactionary
Saturday. The selling was con-
tlnued with the resumption of
trading Monday, but in the after
noon the decline was checked and
stocks NOV d forward. This move
was carried through to Thursday
morning, when there was a mod
crate setback, but yesterday the
general trend was upward.
Trading has been light,
further evidence of the profes-
sional character of the market.
The rails were sold chiefly be.
cause Of the uncertainty of the
drought'S effect on freight traffic
and little hope for any sharp up-
turn in carrier earnings this year.
The coppers were under pressure
all week. with Anaconda and
Kennecott establishing new lows.
Sales Of metal at 104 cents a
pound and fears of further divi-
dend cuts brought on the selling.
The motors were quiet. with Gen
eral Motors gaining slightly on
the week. Some of the good
gamers were Johns Manville,
Woolworth, Otis Elevator and big
Steel.

Here and There

American Machine and Foun-
dry, recommended here few
days ago, came through with an
advance of almost g. points to a
new high for the year. 1t looks
like a good trading bet, and has
real long-term appeal. l shouldn't t
be surprised to see drive against
the bears in Burroughs Adding
Machine. I understand it has a
large sleeping short interest.
Sam Smith says the bears are
looking for party and they are
going to get a squeeze.
American International should
wake up one of these days with
a good-Sized advance. Higher
stock prices enhance the value
of its portfolio and its own
worth.
Dupont looks like one of the
best bets on the list on any weak
ness. There is a strong group
working in General Motors, and
expect a good move in motors.
Du Pont will go up two. points
to motors one.
There is a lot of bulliShneSs
around on American and Foreign
Power and they're talking of a
big move. Activity in Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron
looks like formation of a new
pool on improved operations in
the coal industry. Well-informed
