MAIL BOAT IS FOUND WRECKED
 MONTAGUE ISL.
Body of One Man Found on Beach, Badly Mu-
 tiliated by Eagles
TWO OTHERS, MEMBERS OF CREW, ARE MISSING
Hastily Made Camp De- serted - Parties Are
 Making Wide Search

CORDOVA, Alaska, May 24.-- After missing for two weeks, the boat carrying mail between Cor dova and Cape Hinchinbrook, with James Dinneen, his son Jimmie, and William Johnson aboard, was found yesterday on M tague Island, near Nellie Martin River.
 Three Government boats and sev- eral land parties secured the coun- try and found the body of Johnson on the beach, badly mutiliated by eagles about two miles from where the skiff was located on the island.
 The boat was in cove. badly battered evidently having struck a rock as hole was stoved in about the middle.
 Nothing was seen of Dinneen or his son although a hastily made deserted camp was found on the beach. As blankets from the boat are missing. it is supposed they moved en in hopes of being picked up Sy a passing boat.
 Johnson had apparently drowned and his body had been washed on the beach.
 Two more boats went out late yesterday with a large number of volunteers who will search the island in hopes of finding Dinneen and his son alive.

Cheap Planes Predicted
 For Pleasure of Masses

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Maj. Clarence M. Young, Assistant Sec retary of Commerce for Aeronau- tics, believes the country's largest airplane market lies 'in the group of men and women who work eight hours day six days week and have little money and less time"
 Looking ahead into the next few years" he said, We shall see this part of the industry-the sup ply of small, low powered planes of limited range-growing and de- yeloping for the 'employe group.
 Most automobiles are purchased for pleasure purposes and the fu- ture weekend driver may soon be able to double or treble the dis tance he has been accustomed to cover by special recreational air planes"
 The one obstacle to general fly ing by the masses will be pilot in- struction, he said, which is rather expensive" but may be combatted by development of simpler opera ton and added safety factors.

 Not in many decades have conditions been so propitious as they now are for intensive prospect ing and development of gold-mining properties-for the production of the yellow metal on increasing scale Commodity prices are low. Labor is abund- ant Highly efficient equipment is to be had at short notice and at reasonable cost. Bank deposits have shown a steady increase this year, indicating the availability for investment of money at low rates The favorable credit terms obtaining not likely to change in the near future.
 A shortage of gold exists throughout the world, according to many economists who see in this cir cumstance a restriction commercial intercourse and for the prevailing depression Pro- ducers of gold assured of market for their output at a price that is fixed and satisfactory. Under competent engineering direction, the opera tion of a proved gold mine offers possibility for regular and steady returns investment, what the prevailing economic conditions of industry in general Whether the world is spending or sav- ing, at peace at war whether labor fails to meet or exceeds demand gold is needed An overproduc- ton of gold is not within the range of reasonable prediction

If engineers courageous without being unprofessional, if buy CTS of prospects fair and sellers reasonable in their demands national movement to increase the production of gold which would be of material help to industry in general, should soon be under way.
 The United States is land of immense low grade resources; but it's gold mining industry, since the development of the WitWaterSrand and other large fields has seemed to lag behind the domestic copper industry, for example in technical initiative and achievement.

Another newspaper consolidation occurred re- gently when the Salt Lake Tribune, morning pub lcaton, acquired the Salt Lake Telegram evening paper The announcement of the sale was made by Arthur l.

THE GOLDEN FUTURE.

without doubt the treasure vaults of the Can adan Yukon still contain hundreds of millions of dollars in precious metals capable of recovery, as stated recently before the Chamber of Commerce of Vancouver B C. by Capt George Black, Klondike representative who is Speaker of the Dominion House of Commons Without increase from any additional discovery, they certain to continue the yielding of harvests of great wealth annually.
 Mining processes have been wonderfully improved in recent years. Dredging and hydraulcing equip -uent now profitaby works ground that not long ago was considered worthless. Machinery and meth ods will change for the better Operations will keep extending to areas that formerly resisted gainfu activities.
 Dredging and hydraulicking of old placer ground in the Klondike district, planned at present in- sures rich returns the opinion of experts, for at least 20 years The Whitehorse region with an abundance of ledge prospects, is virtually certain to enter upon an of production just as soon as mining and milling operations can be reduced slight ly in cost and made little more effective The Mayo zone shot full of silver deposits has marketed almost s3o00Oo0 in high grade this year, des- bite the exceptionally low price of the white metal The district is not doing much more than marking time. It will stride forward in seven league boots when silver quotations mount higher, which they are destined to do in the not distant future.
 What is true of the mining districts of the Canadian Yukon $ true also of the mining districts of Alaska.
 Here in Juneau is offered striking example of how methods of today have made possible profitable development of property that could not pay expenses under methods of few years ago. In Nome, dredg- ing operations, extensive they have been in the past, have even larger areas that be ganfully worked in the future Fairbanks is benefitting not only from the dredging of old placer ground but also rom the opening of new lode properties With in the next few years, her returns, according to some capable mining men, may reach high as s10000o00 annually. Other Interior districts cannot fail to experience a revival the result of the Introduction into the mining industry of improved equipment and more economical methods.
 Since the Klondike discovery in 1896, the Can adan Yukon has yielded approximately s25O0OOOOO Since the Juneau strike in 1880, Aaskas golden haryests have amounted to more than 1866 100000. The possibility that in both these famous regions future output will equal if not excel past produc- ton is by no means remote.

 Word from the capital of the artificial world that statue of the late sheik and lover, Rudolph Valentino, is to be erected in a public park It is not said wether the memorial is to take the form of cabaret entertainer or of a handsome bloke wearing burnoose much less spot ted by desert sands than the lengendary shoes of Aimee Semple McPherson also of the land of un- reality.
 The solons of the town of talking showed some reluctance before issuing authority for this whim- sical memorial They seemed to feel that on waking one morning, they might find the halls Of justice ornamented by the bust of Fatty Arbuckle Tor the parks peopled by innumerable fauns, nymphs and satyrs carefully focused under Keig lights to bring out the likenesses of movie stars and star ines So they have decreed that the memorial Ito Valentino must not look anything like Valentino The decree completes the irony. Not even the statues in Hollywood are allowed to have any re- semblance to life.

 The Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture is making plans and preliminary surveys for setting aside within the National Forests distinctive areas that VIII permanently represent the natural forest conditions ol all the major forest regions of the United States. The program calls for setting aside three classes of areas, each with a different and clear-cut purpose. The three classes will be known as Natural Areas primitive Areas" and Experimental Forests"
 Our inclination is to vote No on this proposi- tion but all that we shall say at this time is thai we hope they will not make the various areas sci aside any larger than necessary There is alto psssr to3 much of the countrys resources set aside
