determination of possible mineral tonnage and the assembly of and re- cording of al known mines and pros pest sts within the railroad belt will be carried out.
 Sixty thousand dollars has been al- ocated to Willow Creek, Fairbanks, Copper Mountain, Girdwood, Kan tishna, and Moose Pass districts, and a party will operate at each of these areas. In these districts rather ex- tensive prospecting or development has been in progress, and the work will be of an intensive type and on a rather detailed scale.
 Twenty thousand dollars has been allocated to the West ork of Chulitna, Vadez Creek, Talkeetna Mountains and Yentr.a districts, and the Investigators will operate in four parties. Only small amount of mineral has yet been taken out in these districts and they are practical ly undeveloped, but the probability of valuable finds is believed to be good. The examinations in these areas will be of the preliminary exploratory type.
 To investigate, test, and report on non-metalic minerals such as clay, limestone, mari, etc., in the railroad belt, and prepare pamphlet on their economic value and possibilities of production, $5,OOO has been set aside.
 It is estimated that the surface in- vestigation of the Anthracite Ridge coal field will cost $27,OOO, and that the core drilling in that field will cost $100,000.
 As the purpose of the investigation is to develop natural resources aong the Alaska Railroad, it is important that the results of the examinations

 Charged with violation of the dry law, Warren Afford was arrested at his home here about o'clock on the morning of April 22 by Deputy U. s. Marshal Nichols, who with U. S. Commissioner w. T. Vanderpool had arrived here shortly before from Mo- Grath.
 Aford was taken to McGrath inn mediately after his arrest.
 At the conclusion of hearing the same afternoon before U- s. Commits sioner Vanderpool, Afford was bound over to the grand jury, the bonds un- der this charge being placed at $2,000. Aside from the foregoing charge another one was placed against Afford, that of violation of Section. 1904 of the Alaska criminal code, charging assault with B danger ous weapon. Bonds on this charge were fixed at s5,0O0. Unable to sat- isfy the $7,OO0 bonds, Afford was transferred to the custody of the United States Marshal at Fairbanks, to which place he was taken last Tuesday by airplane, under surveil- lance of Deputy U. s. Marsha Pat O'Connor of Fairbanks.
 Also going over at the same time was Frank Lange, arrested some days ago on a charge of violating the dry law, and who had been bound over to the grand jury under bonds of $2,500.

!T0A Determine Mineral and Other
 TResources Along Alaska R. R. Line

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The h most significant effort yet made to determine the mineral values of Alaska will he carried out this sum-
 mer by the Department of the In- | terior.
 The recent Congress appropriated s-3250, ,000- flor continuation of the in- vestigation of mineral and other re- a sources of Alaska" along the Alaska l. Railroad. This is in addition to the ssregular appropriation for work in
 Alaska.
 The appropriation was placed in
 the hands of Secretary Wilbur, and l he has organized the work chiefly
 through the Sociological Survey.
 Though this specia appropriation is not available until July 1, the Geo.
 logical Survey, considering the short working season in Alaska, has ar- l, ranged to make advances from it's funds that the work may be started early and sa full season of results att < tained this year.
 As fast as given investigations are c completed they will be reported and the facts made available in Alaska w without reference to Washington.
 ;One of the maor proejctsin this in- investigation will be an examination of l: the. Anthracite Ridge coal field in $ the vicinity of the Alaska Railroad.
 This will include detailed surface in- vestigations, including test pitting :. and trenching in the Anthracite ], Ridge coal field, where there are l known veins more than 50 feet thick, i. snbsurface core drilling and investi- !; gations in the Anthracite Ridge coal field, entailing about-Aooo feet of core drilling.

had the edge in every department,
especially that of pitching. In two
consecutive games the AS have been
held to a total of five safe hits.
thanks to the superior pitching of
/ William Hallahan and Burleigh
Grimes.
The victory of Grimes was the
more important. When, on Friday
at st. Louis, the AS behind George
EarnshaW, were pitched down to a
three-hit defeat at the hands of
Hallahan, the experts decided that
1t was just one of those things.
They picked up the sequence of
series warfare here yesterday, with
Robert Moses Uefty) Grove, the
worlds greatest pitcher. ready to
bear down and score his second vic
tory over the Cards But the tri-
umph didn't come. The Cards
worked behind the pitching of Bur-
eigh Grimes. He came within two
hits of scoring a no-hit game, and
now the Athletics are a long way
on the route towards becoming the
hitless wonders of modern baseball
championship series history.
The Cards hit the offerings of
Lefty Grove hard until he was re-
moved from competition in favor of
pinch hitter who failed to hit.
Grove had a perfect alibi which he
was good sport enough not to make
use of. He had a painfully blis-
tered pitching finger. However, he
has pitched and won with similar
blisters, SO that handicap should
not be over emphasized.
Grimes victory was a pitching
masterpiece. 1t was exciting from
the first pitch to the last one. Be
fore the game was two innings old,
Pepper Martins bat had led the way
to the first two of the Cardinals
runs. Before it was four innings
old he had hit a two-bagger and
two more Cardinal runs were made.
Meantime this same Burleigh who
twice hit safely against Grove was
turning back the Mack batsmen.
Three up and three down were the
AS in the first three innings. BIZ
shop, leading off in the fourth,
walked but died at first. Then
three up and down three times
again for the AS
Having so far dominated the
championship which they entered as
the underdogs, it's no more than
natural that the Cards should have
produced the series heroes to date.
They are: Pepper Martin, center
fielder: Burleigh Grimes and Will
Hallahan, pitchers.

HIDDEN MONEY
DISCOVERED IN
OLD CIGAR BOX

Successful treasure hunters in the
islands of the South Seas could be
no more elated than Jim Paul, who
yesterday discovered S136 which had
been hidden for six years just out
side the M. T. Paul refrcshment
stand on Main street.
During the process of dismantling
the stand preparatory to moving,
Jim Paul, assisted by his brother,
NJ. T., became indignant because
Jim spent so much time sorting over
heap of old lumber and boxes.
Finally a dusty and weatherbeaten
cigar box was discovered. It's un-
usual weight caused Jim to open it.
Inside $40 in old "horseblanket
bills and 500 in silver reposed under
film of dust.
Paul remembered that he hid a
box somewhere about the stand
about six years ago. When he
searched for it he could not find
it and decided it had been stolen.
In the six years the box has lain
within easy access to any pasSerby
M. T. Paul made a trip around the
world and took several vacations.

SEALS FAVORED
TO BEAT STARS
IN FINAL MATCH

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6. up
The Pacific coast leagues two lead
ing pitchers will face each other to-
night when the two leading teams
Hollywood and San Francisco, OPP
en- their series for the seasons big
gest prize-the 1881 pennant.
Their strong showing in the first
half of the season and their gar
rison finish in winning the second
half made the Seals slight favor
ties to capture the seven game
playoff series, despite the fact that
Hollywood has won the pennant for
the last two years.
Sam Gibson, the old master of the
Seals mound contingent, who next
year graduates to the New York
Giants, will oppose Frank She1len-
back, of the Stars, leading the
league in pitching by reason of his
expert use of the spitball.
Gibson holds the edge, however
because in their only other meet
ing this season he scored a to 2
victory over Shellenback.
The first three games of the
coasts "little world series" will be
played on successive nights in the
Seals stadium here. Then the two
teams will travel to Wrigley Field,
Los Angeles, to finish the series.
The team first winning four games
will take the pennant.
Hollywood, winner of the first
half. will be the home team in the
south. The teams. will be compet-
ing for $4,000 as well as the PEN
nant, since the league voted $4,000
for the series-half to the two prin-
cipals and half to the teams fin
ishing second, third and fourth. In
this case they were Los Angeles,
Oakland and Portland, respectively.
Further supporting their chances
for victory, the Seals point out that
they would have won the pennant l..
the season had not been split In
both halves they won total of LOT
games and lost 30 for a percentage
of .572. Hollywood won l04 ard
lost 83, or $50.
The Stars. however, may find
comfort in the fact that San Fran
cisco was pushed to the limit to
assure victory in the second hal.
whereas Hollywood took things
easy and finished fifth. already as.
sured of shot at the pennant.

Championship hopes of the league

keeping the few Studebaker hits
well scattered.
Should the Studebakers lose their
next tilt to Cramers, and the Mack

MAN AND WIFE
ARE VICTIMS OF
FOUR GANCSTERS

from the Brown Brothers service
station to lonely place two miles

muzzle of revolver to hand over
S12 in change.
Gardiner. in reporting the robbery
to the sheriff's office, was not sure
whether there were four or five mer
in the robber party. His wife car
ried the money, Gardiner said, ano
while one man held a gun on the
