MT. Mccormack apparently filed to late to rectify the error, with the result that his name was withdrawn from the list of can- dates. It is understood that he will probably run as an inde- pendent at the general elect ion.

MINER BREAKS LEG

Nels Halvorsen, miner, sus- tained a fractured right leg by falling from the approach to his residence, the Gus Er- rickson house, on First Avenue about 5 80 a. m. today. Halvor- sen had gone to his home ac- ccmpanied by Pete Lowe, who resides a short distance beyond the Erickson place. MT. Lowe continued on but had not pro- ceeded far before hearing Hal vorsen's calls for help. Return ing along the street he found the latter struggling in several feet of water on the tide flat. By this time "Scotty" Thomp- son arrived on the scene and together they rescued the in- jured man and took him home. Halvorsen was later trans ferred to the hospital, after re- ceiving first aid from Hubert Thomas und e r instructions from Dr. Williams.
 The accident appears to have been due primarily to the cleo tric lights being out of com mission in that section at the time. Being unable to see his way clearly, Halvorson appar- ently stumbled or walked off the very narrow approach in the dim light.
 As the tidewater was more than sufficiently deep to break
 his fall, it is surmised that the mans leg was broken through striking a projecting timber as 1 to the flat, about a dozen feet l he fell to the flat, a dozen ol so feet below.

HELP! |!

Owing to the rapid thawing during the past few days, the uptown streets are in extreme ly bad condition for pedestri- ans, with most of the sidewalks blockaded with deep snow and the ,roadways flooded in many places with several inches of water, which is unable to es- cape because of the high snow banks on both sides of the groove created by wheeled traffic.
 Some thoughtful persons have cut trenches at a few points to permit the water to escape; but unless some of our public spirit ed citizens open more chan nels, it looks as if the school children and women-folks will soon have to swim to get about in the upper townsite.

LEAD PRICES AGAIN
 ON THE UPGRADE

The recent rapid slump in lead prices has apparently been halted and quotations are again assuming an upward trend. The latest metal mark ct reports received here dis close an increase of ten cents a hundredweight during the past week, increasing the price from $5.65 to $5.75. The increase was announced March 28 by the American. Smelling and Re- fining Go. and was the second raise in two days. The first in- crease advanced the price from $5.50, the lowest level attained by the metal in several years, to $5.65, after remaining at 5I2 cents from March 10th.

SUBSTANTIAL RETURNS
 FROM PROSPERITY ORE

A Seattle press dispatch of March 27 reports the release there of the monthly report of the Premier Gold Mining Go. covering operations of the com pany on the Prosperity proper ty during the preceding four months as follows:
 "The report states that Pros perity mined and shipped to smelter during the month of February 1479 tons of ore of a gross value of $45,615
 According to report substan- tiated by smelter returns, this shipment netted Prosperity S23,436
 February completes four months operations of the Pros perity mine and during this time Prosperity has shipped ore the net profits on which were $69,122.51.
 Mining men who are watch ing production sheets and amelter returns on Prosperity are confident that if such a rec ord can be made despite in- element weather and difficult ies incidental to opening pro- duction and putting the tram in operation, Prosperity is bound to become the outstand- ing producer of Portland Canal within the present year"

The motorship Fairbanks en- countered a decidely hard trip from Ketchikan this week. It is reported by passengers that the little mail boat ran into hard going off Cape Fox and required eight or ten hours to make the turn into the calm waters of Portland Canal. Dur ing most of this period it was impossible to make even a cup of coffee and waves boarded the vessel at frequent intervals. Later a heavy snow storm was encountered in the Canal but the staunch little ship came through without mishap, altho considerably behind schedule.

SUTHERLAND SAYS REPORT OT INDIAN
 BILL WAS UNTRUE

Declaring that recent Wash ington, D. c. press reports that the Claims Committee of the House of Representatives had reported adversely on the ap- plication 0 f Alaska native tribes for the right to sue the government for alleged alien ation of valuable property and other rights in Alaska were ut- terly false, Alaska delegate to Congress, Dan Sutherland has issued a specific denial of the Washington message in a tele- gram to the Alaska Weekly, of Seattle.
 As reported in that journal, MT. Sutherland's message said that the story that the bill in- troduced by him to permit the Indians to file their suits had been rejected by the committee was absolutely without the slightest foundation in fact, as as there had been no action on the part of the claims commit tee regarding the bill. MT. Sutherland's message further declared that the bill had nev- CT been discussed in commit tee; that the Washington dis patch was nothing but a fake" and twas made out of whole cloth and sent to the Juneau Empire and other pap CTS in Alaska"
 The message concludes with a request that it be published Gin order that the people of Alaska may not be misin- formed regarding this bill"
 While we have not discovered any indication that the people of this or other sections of the Territory are particularly in- terested in in the matterL we will say that the Herald pub- lished the alleged false state ment purely for what it was worth as news and without the slightest intent to prejudice the cause of the natives, who we feel are entitled to fair hearing on their claims and also to proper reparation if, as claimed, they have been in any manner dispossessed of proper ty or other rights to which they are justly entitled.

GOLD SHORTAGE SAID
 TO BE IMPENDING

Danger of a gold shortage and the need for cooperation and economy among the central banks in the use of gold, in or der to avert the impending shortage is the keynote of a re- cent article on the gold situ- ation published in the Wallace (1daho) Press-Times Mining Review.
 The article points out that the world gold output, which reached its highest value of $468, ,504,0 in 1915, declined rapidly to $319,O00,00O in 19- 22. A gradual recovery has followed but the 1929 out put of $417,500,000 was still below the 1915 level. Only about 52 per cent of the annual production is available for monetary purposes, the article points out, the remainder be- ing consumed by the industrial arts or boarded in India and the Orient. An addition of 3 per cent annually in the worlds gold stock is required by currency and credit needs alone, the review continues It is estimated that the actual in crease in gold will not exceed two per cent during the next five years and is expected to decline after that. Production from the South African Trans vaal, largest source of gold, is expected to decline about 48 per cent before 1886 and ex- cept Canada, few countries show possibilities of offsetting increase.
 Should gold production re- cede at it's present rate,' the review says, ''this decline would be gradual and would give opportunity for readjust- ment; but even so, it might have a gradual adverse effect on business"

NORTHLAND S,S.CO. REFUSES REGULAR
 TRIPS ID RYDER

Hyder shippers are again con fronted with the problem of se- curing direct freight transport ation from Seattle, as result of the announcement by the NoIthland Transportation Go. that after April IA the con- pany will no longer handle the freight traffic to this port un- der regular schedule.
 This interesting intimation is contained in a communication received this week by the Fly der Dock Company, local agent of the Northland company. The reason ascribed for the un- expected cutting off of the company's service after the next visit of the motorship Northland is that the volume of local traffic is not sufficiently large to warrant the company making the long side trip to the head of Portland Canal on regular schedule. The com pany offers, however, to send a vessel here at such times as a sufficiently large cargo can be secured to make the voyage profitable.
 As a result of the company's decision, local shippers are confronted with the prospect of having to ship all goods from Seattle by way of Ketchi- kan, at a considerable advance in transportation costs, togeth- CT with added prospects of de- lays in deliveries owing to the limited capacities of the small vessels plying between Ketchi- kan and Hyder. Merchants here estimate that this will entail and increase of from 30 to 40 per cent over present di- rect f TO m Seattle freight charges, in addition to extra wharfage and transfer charges in Ketchikan. which will bring the costs of Seattle products still higher when landed in Fly der. The only alternative is to induce some other transportat- ion concern to place a vessel in the local service. Steps in that direction will be inaugu- rated immediately by those chiefly interested and the view 8 expressed that arrange ments can be effected whereby shipments can be received di- rect from Seattle at frequent intervals.
 It is also pointed out that as a last resource it may be poss- iEle to overcome customs ob- stacles to the extent of enab- ling transportation of local ship ments by the Canadian boats arriving here weekly from the south, as was the case in the early days of the camp. It is also pointed out that this ex- cellent boat service would still be available but for the dis criminatory provision of the so-called Jones shipping bill prohibiting transportation of goods in foreign bottoms be- tween American ports where Alaska is concerned, although permitting such shipments else where.

NENANA ICE POOL
 ATTRACTS INTEREST

The interest of sourdough Alaskans throughout the Terr- itory is now centering on the big Nenana ice pool with it's purse of many thousands of dollars awaiting the lucky per son who will guess closest to the day and hour in which the ice will break on the Nenana River. That Hyder sourdough's s are no less interested than those of other sections of the North is amply indicated by the announcement of E. M. Reynolds, local agent of the sweepstakes committee, that $500 worth of tickets were talk en locally before the closing of the subscriptions some days ago.
 Late telegraphic reports from Nenana received by MT. Reyn- olds indicated that the pool may be larger than last year, when the purse totaled over $52,000 and was divided among several persons, one of whom was MT. Reynolds. Two years ago the big sporting event was won by a single indi- vidual, Edward Kehoe, who alone guessed the exact time of the breakup-5:42 a. m. May 13.
 The telegram received by Mr. Reynolds said the ice was four feet thick on the river March 28, with an average snowfall during the winter. There had been no thawing weather up to that time and the opinion pre- vailed there that the breakup would be medium late, al- though conditions m g h { change. Time has shown, however, that the thickness of the ice has little influence on the breakup. It all depends on the volume of water that comes down after the spring thaw is under way. This is shown by the close proximity of the dates on which the ice moved in the 13 years in which the pool has been. held. Following are the dates of the ice movement since
