Man Was Questioned.

Harry j. Anslinger. commissioner of
narcotics, said today reports from Chi
cago that Federal narcotic agents had
raided the apartment of w. Perkins Bull
were incorrect, so far as he had been
able to learn.

that the apartment of the wealthy
Canadian had not been raided, but that
Bull had been called into the United
States attorneys Office there to be ques-
toned and that members of the Chi
cago narcotic force had been asked to
be present during the questioning.
He said no raids were made, that no
narcotic officials from Washington had
been in Chicago and that the affair was
conducted entirely under the jurisdic-
ton of the United States attorney. He
added there was no information in the
Washington Narcotic Bureau concern
ing the affair.
Justice Department officials also said
no information on the raid had been
received there

FUR AND MINING
 ACTIVITIES TALKEETNA
 REPORTED BY WARDEN

Nights continue cold and freez- ing in the Talkeetna district, re- ports Warden Homer Jewell, of the Alaska Game Commission, who left here yesterday for Anchor age. MT. Jewell came out of the Talkeetna country last week for the purpose of meeting his chief, Mir. Terhune, head of the Com mission who since has departed.
 The trails in the Talkeetna are excellent in the early morning; the ice is beginning to rot but all freight has been takin in.
 WAGNER PLEASED
 The Idaho mining company are now ready for big seasons op- erations and one of the finest drag-line outfits ever seen in the North is on the ground. MT. Wag- ner, who is quite we'll known in Seward, and head of this com pany, is confident of a successful year. If this form of mining makes good and the ground turns out well, two similar rigs will be installed in the Talkeetna region next season.
 BEAVER TRAPPERS BACK
 Beaver trappers are about all back in town and nearly every one got the limit, MT. Jewel said. Several fine lots of marten were brought in. Beaver in that dis trict are just about holding their own. The upper Susitna and Vent na Rivers are fairly we'll stocked with beaver. The best n1arten came out of the Chulitna district.
 Mir. Jewell stated about 1,600 beaver and approximately 250 marten have passed through the Game Commission and were seal ed.
 Few lynx and mink were taken this season, he added. One of the reasons for this was said to be the prevailing low price which held many trappers back.

LOTS OF COAL IN YARDS

There are over 1000 tons of Evan Jones coal in Seward rail- road yards awaiting the arrival of the SS Ostego, big Libby, Mo neil & Libby steamer, from the south, bound for Alaska Peninsula and Bristol Bay plants. There is also 300 or 400 tons for the MS Boxer, of the Bureau of Indian Affars, now due here from the south and also westbound.

LOCAL MINERAL BELT

Extending the entire distance across the kena peninsula A from Nuka Bay to Turnagain Arm near Girdwood 100 miles from southwest to northeast Is we'll defined mineral belt that carries gold in small strngers and large veins.
 That belt crosses the head of Resurrection 1iv er about 200 miles west of Seward and shows up dis ncty again north of Kenai Lake in the Quartz Creek and in the Moose Pass regions.
 Geologsts consider it probable that the gold bear ing rocks Crow Creek north of Girdwood and again the gold and copper ores outcroppng on the Knk Riv CT watershed are all of the same belt.
 At Nuka Bay, at Moose Pass and on Crow Creek development work has been done to an extent that proves much of the in this belt to be high grade Some of it at Nuka Bay runs we'll over $40 per ton and in fairly large veis In the Moose Pass district val ues of $8 to $O per ton have been proven dges that are traced for nine miles;
 It is field that offers just large mining oppor tmities as elsewhere in Alaska, fact which day, ere long, will be recognized:
 All along the railroad belt, as this paper has so many times pointed out editorialy, has great undeve oped mineral resources; the greatest in the world, and only by it's development will the Alaska Railroad be made to pay it's way Tonnage by the millions of tons, is awaiting opening up. Again, after the opening of the mines, farming a larger scale will follow.
 The present Alaska Railroad management does not agree with The Gateway this.
 The Howell senate Investigating committee saw the possibilities of tonnage for the line and 1t large ly through the committees efforts quarter of mil lion dollars aside by Congress for the Geological Survey which wi immediately dispatch engineers into the regions adjacent to the railroad for the purpose of ascertaning what bodies pacers coal avail able It be safely prophesized that the mineral pro- gress of the railroad belt will date from the present year as the direct result of the work of the Geological Sur vey
 We have touched upon Interior mining so many times in the past that will leave those districts to the Anchorage and Fairbanks papers to attempt to Tighten their readers but the belt in this region may prove to be one of the permanent hard rock and placer mining districts of large dimensions in the whole of Alaska 1*

 Crosby Favored
 Crosby, despite their opening reversal at the hands of the unde- feated New Haven Hillhouse out fit, are slight favorites to down Jack Mead's Park City club to-day as the Meadmen will be without the services of four varsity mem bers who will watch proceedings from the bench adorned with ad- hesive.

A preliminary game between the Thomaston Tigers, and the Clair monts of Waterbury will start at 1:15 o'clock.

RECREATION BOWLING
 NOTES

The new bowlers make their first appearance in the league tonight, and trading of bowlers involve four teams. The rules committee has as- signed Mike Zello, a reputed bowl CT, to Jim Cooney's As. Mike will replace Patsey D'Angelo. Kenneth Knolt will take the place of Chick Desmarais on the Giant squad. Cardy goes to the Cubs from the Tank team. "Fat" Piazza of the de- funct Lux Clock league, goes to the ~Snkees in place of Cardy. The committee hopes that these changes will bolster the weak teams in the league.
 Last week bowling results were as follows: The Cubs, with Joe LO- vallo and Red Hayes showing the the way, took two from the Giants. The Braves led by Captain Sharkey won two from .the "Orsino-less" Tigers. The Pirates had party at the expense of the lowly Tanks Jim CoOney's As. taking advantage of Bil TatO and Ed Daly's absence from the Red Sox lineup, gallOped home with three straight.
 Bowlers. hitting 330 or better. follow: Joe Lovallo 372: Jimmy Barber, 354; Red Hayes. $50; Gene Casey, BAT; J. Dente, 349; Al Roden, 356; Palmer Brick. 331; Jack Hamel. 339; Johnny Mango. 333.
 the two teams tied for first place, tne saA AtxDunffSyS-tf should he quite a match. While the two top teams are having 1t out, the Yanks and Red Sox are to de- eide who is entitled to last place. JOUR WISE CRACKER SAYS:"
 That the best piece of news in month is the one about Sharkey go- ing in for romance in big way. And Howl!
 That Ray Farrell should wear shin guards. He can plainly see that Rays ''dogs" cover too much space, while he's delivering his fa- nous gutter hall.
 That the trouble with Ed Riley's bowling Is lack of a press agent on the Giant team.
 That the reason why Joe TurIey is so quiet, is to give the rest of the league the impression that he's man of very few words.
 That if some of the teams don't start in and "whoop" 1t up dur ing the games, that he's going to suggest we roll our games in boiler factory.
