COLISEUM HAS
THE UTAH KID
FOR HEADLINER
Charlie Chan to Show at
Midnight and Sunday
Performances

THE Utah Kid" will be shown
tonight only at the Coliseum the
atre. Charlie Cham Carries On"
starring Warner GLAND, will feature
the new program tomorrow, the
first regular presentation being at
the afternoon matinee. This new
program will be previewed at the
l O'Clock matinee tonight.
| On the organ, Rex Parrott to-
night will give Chloe" a fox trot
played as an overture. Tomorrow
his selection will be odd Black
Joe"
In THE Utah Kid" three of the
most decidedly 'he-men" in Holly
wood, whose regulations are based
on their perfect adaptability to
action roles, have important parts.
Names of Virile Trio
The virile trio are Tom Santschi,
famous for his fighting ability;
Walter Miller, who has been king
of serial heroes for many years;
and Boris Karloff, whose swarthy
features are universally known in
screen villainy. Richard Thorpe
directs.
Rex Lease and Dorothy SebaS-
tan have the leading roles.
Charlie Chan Carries On has
what many regard as the best in
terpeter of Oriental roles-Oland.
Born in Umea, Sweden, GLAND
came to this country when mere
youngster and attended school in
Boston, graduating from high
school there and then receiving
his first theatrical training at DR..
Curry's Dramatic School.
Twenty Years On Stage
During the next 20 years he re-
manned before the footlights, spec
ializing in Shakespearean and Ib-
sen roles
His first picture role of import
ance was that of Charlie Yong in
EAST Is West" with Norma Tai
madge in 1922.
Other picture parts followed, in
Guiding a part in his first talkie,
THE Jazz Singer" and later vii
famous Chinese roles I'm Old San
Francisco chinatown Nights"
Wheel of Chance" 1.-THE Myster-
ious DR.. Flu Manchu" and THE
Return of DR.. Flu Manchu." In
every screen role, however, no one
thought of casting him as anything
but a william of the deepest dye.
Only One Was Suitable
A few months ago, Fox was
searching everywhere for an &C
tor to play the title-role in Charlie
Chan Carries On" based on Earl
Derr Biggers well-known mystery
story. More than 20 eminent
actors were tested for the role, but
none proved suitable until Glands
test was screened.

CHARLIE CHAN CARRIES ON
DOORS OPEN A.

The Intermediates playlet, "a
Sudden Cure" was delightfully."- en-
tertaining, and well enacted by
Virginia Mullen, Dolores Smith,
Evelyn Mccormick, Anna Norton,
Claudia Kearney and Caroline Nc
Allister.
The Senior pupils gave an excel
lent rendering of an old legend:
While all shepherds but one obey
the angels invitation to come to
Bethlehem, but one lad dutifully
remains to tend his masters sheep,
and is grandly rewarded.
An El0cution Program
Those taking part in this elocu-
ton number were: Jack Kearrley,
Robert Turner, Herbert Mclean,
Lee Smith, Billy Lowe, Mary l..
Norton, Beatrice Mullen, Ruth
Geyer, Yvonne Forrest and Anna
M. Doogan.
Two choruses, Beautiful Words"
and 1.-THE Christmas Spirit" were
given by the Seniors. The Juniors
son, 'Santa's Coming" was so ap-
pealing that it hurried that much
desired old man along, and he ar
rived just as the song was finished.
Presents were distributed to the
children.

several other properties. The larg-
est lode mine in the railroad belt,
the Lucky Shot, has installed a
new 35-ton mill, and it's owners
plan to continue mining and mill
ing on a 12-month basis. Between
80 and 100 men were employed at
this mine during the summer. All
other operations in the district are
on a much smaller scale.
In some of the veins mined
there are two and in places three
generations of quartz of which the
earliest contains the least sui
phides and gold and the latest con-
tains the most. The. early quartz
is represented by breccias cemented
by later quartz and by segments of
veins that do not conform to the
trend of the later quartz. The per-
sistent hanging walls that are fol-
lowed in mining are later than the
latest quartz in the veins, and
there are numerous postmineral
faults, which. however, have not
proved a serious handicap in min
ing. There is little evidence of no.
table enrichment and the close
analogy between these veins and
those in certain California dis
tricts, where mining has been car
ried to depths OF several thousand
feet, gives great reason for hope
that the gold ore in the Willow
Creek district extends to depths
far below any that have SO far
been reached. There is also rea-
son for believing that the district
contains many other valuable
veins that have not yet been dis
covered.
Girdwood and Moose Pass Districts
Although the lode prospects of
the Girdwood and Moose Pass dis
tricts are scattered along a north
south belt for distance of some
40 miles the character Of the veins
and the general conditions under
which they occur are SO similar
that the two areas may be consid-
cred together. Ralph Tuck has
made special study Of the ore de-
posts in the Moose Pass area, and
Charles Park of those in the Grid
wood area. In this district as a
whole there are many gold lode
prospects, and in times past sew
eral properties have produced, al
though at present only few are
yielding ore. Although the veins
are small and none have yet been
demonstrated to be continuous for
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1931-12-26

many hundreds of feet, either
along the strike or in depth, never
theless they are characterized by
the presence of free gold, and some
exceedingly rich ore has been ex-
tracted. Apparently there has been
some enrichment of the shallow
portions of the veins, the apparent
ly moderate extent both horizon
tally and vertically Of any single
vein, the large variations in strike
within short distances, and the
presence of numerous forks and
offshoots indicate that great eau
ton should be exercised in plan
ming extensive developments, and
that the wise course in both pros
pecting and mining will be to fol-
low the ore shoots closely.
Assays of samples taken from
some of the bikes in the Moose
Pass district show the presence OF
gold in encouraging amounts, and
it is possible that portions of some
of these dikes may be rich enough
to justify mining.
Nonmetallic Resources
A study of nonmetallic resources
other than coal in the railroad belt
and an examination of miscellan-
eous metallic prospects that did not
lie within the districts already de-
scribed were assigned to G.. A.
Warning. He examined large num-
Der of prospects, including those
containing limestone, manganese,
and clays of various types, as well
as several metal-bearing lodes.
None of these are now producing,
but as at any time there may be
a demand for some of these ma
terials, it was desirable to learn
the facts concerning their distri-
button and qualities.
Anthracite Field of Upper Matan-
One of the prime purposes of the
special appropriation for the study
of the mineral resources of the
railroad belt was to determine the
quality and amount of minable an
thracite in the upper Matanuska
Valley. 1t was realized that the
natural exposures of the coal for
nation are not sufficiently good to
furnish as complete information as
was desired, and that eventually
core drilling might be necessary.
However, a detailed surface exam
lnation was essential to determine
whether the heavy expense of core
drilling would be justified. Accord
ingly field party was organized,
with r. w. Richards in charge OF
the geologic studies. G.. A. Waring
was associated with Mr.. Richards
during the later portion of the
summer A large-scale topographic
map of the more promising portion
of the anthracite field was made,
and a force of laborers was en-
ployed to open up the coal ex-
posureS.
AS a result Of structural studies
beds have been traced on Anthra-
cite Ridge proper that indicate a
tonnage of some half million tons
OF anthracite, but the coal occurs
under such structural conditions
and in such a topographic situation
that in itself it does not constitute
a commercially feasible coal field.

along, too.
Another M. G.. M. rumor is that
Dorothy Jorndan will have the

Special Study Group
of Biologists Niews
Beartooth Ranges

Staff members of the Princeton
expedition here and students who
have been cruising at large from
the headquarters at Piney Dell
gathered in Red Lodge yesterday
morning to meet the special Pull
man car princeton" that brought
a special student group of the in
ternational Summer School of
Geology and Natural Resources
for a three-day series of excur-
sions in this region.
Twenty-Five students and grad
uate biologists disembarked from
the car and climbed into waiting
automobiles, to be carried into
the fringes of the Beartooths for
an Introductory sight of "the
greatest geological laboratory in
America.
DR.. R. M. Field, director of the
Princeton summer school, and DR..
A. G. Lane, president of the Geo.
| logical society of America, had
preceded the visiting party, and
were present with DR.. w. 7. Thorn
and others of the regular expedi-
| tion to receive the incoming group.
The party was divided into two
groups, one of which was taken
on preliminary survey tour back
of Mount Maurice on the old Cody
road while the others Travelled up
Rock creek toward Beartooth lake.
Returning to Red Lodge for dim
ner last evening, the general con-
course gathered III the special car,
which has been shunted onto a
siding for its four day stop, and
held council.
DIR. Field, speaking before the
assembly, gave Il brief description
of the territory about to be stud
led by the visitors, remarking that,
there are few regions on the con-
tinent that offer such all-inclusive
opportunities for geological re-
search, and mentioned one of the
main reasons for the visit-that of
acquainting the touring group
with the work being done here for
| the enlargement of geological
| knowledge.
| The routes planned for excur-
sions to be made this week for the
| benefit of the visitors were des-
cribed by Dr.. Thorn, head of the
regular group here, who told the
newcomers that 1--WE have every
thing here from the Cambrian
strata to the Tertiary, including
examples of most geological pha-
ses, all encompassed in the area

GAS TO BE TURNED
In PIPES NEXT WEEK

Workers on the gas system have
been putting in the last extensions
this week, and the complete job is
ready to be capped off and tested
before next Thursday, according
to 7. R. Wortham, construction
superintendent.
On the branch lines about the
city, about 20 service lines have
already been cut in. Fifty men
have been engaged in the install
lation of service lines, and will
have completed 200 of the indi-
vidual lines by the time gas is
turned into the mains.
The tap line from the Dry Creek
main has been finished, and work
is being completed on the regula-
tor station. Next week, after a
regulator has been installed and
set in running order, the city sys-
tenn will be opened for it's first
test with gas from the field.

SCHOOL ASSESSMENTS
MADE SLIGHTLY LOWER
Than THOSE LAST YEAR

A complete report Of the asses
sed value of the Carbon county
school districts, following final
action on the assessment figures
by the board of equalization,
shows both the assessed and tax
able values to be lower this year.
The total for this year represents
a decrease of $571, PAP from the
total assessment of last year, with
a $288,761 decrease in the taxable
valuation.
Nine school districts have been
increased in value in the opinion
Of the county assessor and board
of equalization. Bridger, district
no. 2, has an assessed value of.
$1,711,144, as compared with its
value of S1,694,450 in 1880. But
cher Creek, no. II, is figured at
$1,000 more. Sunnyside has an in
crease of $49,388, and Selmes a
boost of $1,726. New Prospect,
no. 25, Belfry, 81, and Dryhead,
80, are also rated higher than
last year. The Isom and Blue
water districts have higher asses
sed values by $1,680 and S3,841.
All other district assessments
have been slightly reduced this
year, or in some cases remain at
the same level as they did in 1880.
The Red Lodge district no. / has
lower value by $61,576, it's tax
able value this year being $1,144,
7G1.
Of the five Incorporated cities
in the county, Bridger is the only
one whose assessed and taxable
value has increased. Bridger taxes
last year were levied on a figure
of $185,817, this year on a taxable
valuation of S196,368.
Tax levies for the various
school districts are listed in the
legal section Of this issue. ~.

TWO ARRESTED AFTER
BURGLARY or GARAGE
AT EDGAR SATURDAY

Tracing the men who robbed the
Humphrey and Larrimore garage
at Edgar last Saturday night by
means of carelessly dropped
pocket knife, Sheriff John Albert
and Deputy Tracy Mccall arrested
John Redmund and Frank VIM
ters.
The Edgar garage was broken
into Saturday, and a number of
tools and auto parts were taken
from the shop, the subsequent dis
covery of the robbery leading To
an investigation. Two strangers
who had camped with their auto
near Edgar and had been loafing
about town were looked upon as
suspects, and later, a knife drop
ped at the scene of the robbery
was identified as their property.
Winters and Redmund were ara
raigned this week before E. B.

placed their bonds at $1,000 each.
They are still in custody await.

torney E. P. Conwell plans to file
charges direct in district court
against them, although Winters
has practically confessed to his
guilt in the affair.

THIS WEEK IS SET
As "HATE-MADE
GASOLINE WEEK.
Governor Erickson Urges
Montana Auto Owners to
Support Montana Pr O.
ducts of State "Store-
house.

August 16 to 90 has been des-
ignated as "Montana-Made Gas
oline Week" in a proclamation is
sued last week by Governor j. E.
Erickson in regard to the pre-
valence of high gasoline prices in
the state.
The tax burden of this state
might be reduced by 100000 a
year, the governor stated in his
message to the Montana consum-
ers and taxpayers, if all gasoline
used in Montana was manufac-
tured in Montana refineries, from
Montana crude oil. That amount
is lost every year to the state and
counties by the use of imported
gasoline.
This week of August 16 is sell
ected as Montana Gas week be-
cause it is the tenth anniversary
of the founding of Montana's re-
filming industry.
sIn view of the fact that Mon
tana raw and manufactured pro-
ducts have been the major factor
in our states prosperity, these
many gifts of nature deserve ev-
cry recognition within our power
said the governor in his proclama-
ton. Nothing could be more fit
ting than to pay tribute to an in
dustry that has it's origin in Mon
tana's natural storehouse.
Therefore, in commemoration OF
the tenth anniversary off the Mon
tana refining industry and in rec
ognition of the fact that oil fields
of the state house thus far turned
$55,000,000 in new wealth into oul
trade channels, I, J. E. Erickson
do hereby proclaim and designate
the week of Aug. 1928 as Mon.
tana- Made Gasoline Week.
1--WE have all benefited by the
development of our oil fields anc
will all benefit still further as the
industry grows. Every dollar We
spend for Montana-made gasoline
is used over and over again in this
state. Aside from this there is 6
further benefit: If every gallor
of gasoline used in Montana were
manufactured in Montana refin.
cries from Montana crude, the taS
burden of the taxpayers of this
state would be reduced by $780,
600 per year-which amount is lost
to the state and counties when i'm
ported gasoline is used.
Montana crude is among the
worlds finest and it is turned by
our modern refineries into a pro.
duct fully entitled to our contin
ued support.
Recognizing that increased
home consumption Of Montana
made gasoline will result in great
benefit to the Montana oil an6
