HIGHWAY COMMISSION ID MEET SHORTLY

The joint international com mittee appointed by the United States and Canada to consider the feasibility of the proposed Pacific Yukon-Alaska high way will meet shortly after the close of the present ses- sion of the Canadian House of Commons, according to a re- cent announcement by Pre- mier Tolmie of British Colum- bia. It is necessary to wait un- til the close of the parliament ary session because the speak CT of the House, the Hon Geo. Black, is one of the Canadian commissioners, the Premier said.
 The joint commission wiz meet in Victoria, because all the data so far gathered on the highway project is filed there. The Canadian commis- sion is composed of Hon. Geo. Black, who represents the Yu- kon Territory, J. M. Wardle, chief engineer of parks, rep resenting the federal govern ment of Canada, and c. P. Ma pier, assistant engineer of the public works department of British Columbia, who repre- sents the latter province. The members of the Uniter States commission are Herbert :. R. Rice. Ernest Walker Sawyer, and Major Malcolm Elliott.
 Interest in the Highway pro- ject is steadily increasing, the Premier said.

AIR TRAFFIC RULES
 TO BE ENFORCED

Enforcement of federal and territorial regulations affecting aircraft and aerial navigation will be frightened up at once, it has been announced by Maj. Wiley Wright, inspector for the Aeronautics Division of the Department of Commerce, ac- cording to the Juneau Empire. Major Wright visited the Ter ritory recently on a trip of in- spection.
 In the future noncompliance with the regulations will be met with drastic action and laxity on the part of enforce ment officials will no longer be tolerated.
 Explaining the attitude of his department Major Wright said that to properly develop and promote aviation in Alaska closer supervision will be giv- en and it is the. intention of that department that an in- spector pay semi-annual visit to the Territory, each visit to last two or three months.
 Major Wright said it is ap- parent that rapid strides are being made in aviation in the Territory.
 Nowhere is the airplane in greater need than in Alaska" " he declared" It is the means of joining together the outly- ing districts and it is the only means of transportation by which all sections of the Ter ritory can be linked with any degree of quickness. The air plane in Alaska is the chariot of mercy as we'll as the chariot of industry and commerce.

OUTLET MAY
 BE DECIDED IN JUNE

Intimation that the Peace River outlet question may be decided at conferences to be held in Ottawa this month was given a few days ago by Pre-, mier Tolmie of British Colum- bia following his return from an extended visit in Ottawa. Important developments in the solution of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway problem may also occur as result of the conferences, the Premier said.
 "The surveys of the P. c. E. lands and the proposed Pacific coast outlet to the Peace River district have been completed, the available passes have been carefully examined and a point has now been reached for the first time where it is possible to seriously consider the solu- tion of the Peace River ex- tension and the P. G. E. prob lems, the Premier said.

Celebration Plans Increased

Arrangements for the big in- international celebration, to be held here July IS, 19, and 20. with Hyder, Stewart and Pre- mier participating, have now reached the stage where sub committees may be appointed, it was decided at an informal meeting of the central con- mittee Thursday. The repre- sentatives from the three com mittees were authorized to make such appointments and submit them at the next reg ular meeting Monday.
 It was also decided to re- construct the grand stand at the Stewart ball park and build an arena in Hyder for the drilling and mucking con- tests, which will be a feature of the celebration.

Progress on Metcalf Group

w. w. Metcalf, cooWner and manager of development oper- ations on the Metcalf and Fendley group, was a visitor in town this week and report ed that the new prospect tun- nel was in a distance of 50 fit. and making fine progress at
 he time he left the camp.
 The new tunnel is being driv- an from a small draw near the edge of the big gold-bearing ore zone and is expected to strike the ore at about 70 feet from the portal. Owing to the sharp inclination of the zone, the tunnel will give a vertical depth of approximately 55 feet at the lower side and about 90 feet at the upper edge and should reveal an excellent cross section of the mineral ized belt at that point.
 MT. c. L. Hubbard and G. W. Skinner, Seattle capitalists who are backing the development of the group. will visit the property next month. They plan to leave Seattle July 8, MT. Metcalf said. Nine men are now employed on the property, including MT. Metcalf and his partner, Joe Fendley. The oth- CT seven are Bert Bobo, Larry Thornton, Chris Crone, Al Sof- fee, George Lemmons, c. l.. Turner and c. L. Stickler, who does the assaying.

 CALENDAR CHANGE

An International conference on calendar simplification is scheduled to take place at Geneva this fall, with the Unit ed States participating. The conference is sponsored by the League of Nations and is de- signed to take definite action to secure calendar improve ment.
 In the United States there are two major plans under con sideration, the International fixed calendar, which pro- poses a 13-month year, and the World Calendar, which provides for a 12-month year
 The Swiss" plan, favored in Europe, and the World cal endar are fundamentally the same, as the halves and quart CTS are capitalized and per petual calendar is effected in each, but the arrangement within the quarters is differ ent.

ONLY COOP !. CAN STOP DEPRESSION

One of the most hopeful in- dications that national leaders are commencing to realize that only heroic measures can re- lieve the world of the present great industrial and economic depression is to be found in the statement made recently to the League of Nations Coun- cil at Geneva by Rt. Hon. Ar thur Henderson, British for eign secretary, in reference to the existing world conditions.
 "The only remedy possible" he said, must come from inter- national cooperation"
 Continuing the subject, MT. Henderson said:
 "In our countries, unemploy- ment, poverty and actual star vation exist, and yet, while men walk the streets unable to find work to earn bread for their hungry families, the gra- naries of Europe and the coun- tries overseas are bursting with food that cannot be sold. Our potential duty to create wealth is greater than it has ever been. Countless millions of capital are lying idle in our banks. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world whose demands, not for con- fort or luxuries, but for the strict necessities of life are not satisfied in anything like a reasonable measure and thus far we have been unable to find a means of breaking through this vicious circle"

Improving Chickamin Trail

Work started this week on the improvement of the Banded Mountain trail, for which the Forest Service trail bureau re- gently authorized the expendi- ture of $500. The work is be- ing done under the direction of w. w. Metcalf, manager of operations on the Metcalf and Fendley group, who was dele gated by the bureau to super wise the job. Four men are en- ployed.
 Owing to the high cost of transportating materials into the Banded Mountain section, not great deal can be done with the small sum approved by the bureau, according to MT. Metcalf.
 Everything taken in must be back-packed over the ice of Chickamin Glacier, a slow and laborious operation. By way of illustration, MT Metcalf said it recently cost SIS to pack in 6 boxes of powder, 2 cans of gasoline and a few pota- toes, total of 10 packs, and this did not include the cost of the commodities.

Gonally higher that the gold values contained in the ore of the neighbouring Premier mine.
 Shareholders will expect some comment on the para graph extracted from the Pre- mier Gold Mining Co.'S report. The President of the Premier Go. mailed the Board copy of that company's annual re- port. There had been some cor respondence between him and me, aimed at discovering, with the approval of my co-Direct- DTS, some basis for fusion of interests directed to obviate
 he waste of money involved oy duplicating mill machinery. After receiving the report 1 suggested to the President that when his Company was ready they should put up :ome alternative proposal to ours. To this suggestion he answered, Il suggest that we leave further discussion of these matters in abeyance for he present until we can see more accurately the real re- maining life of the Premier ore reserves. There the mat ter remains. Now how do we stand? We have by patient and sustained development proved that a considerable volume of payable ore is pres ent on the property. By stop ing, driving and drilling at different horizons we are sat isfied that an average assay value is obtainable. We see no reason for supposing that the same fortune that has hitherto attended the Premier stoping will not fall to the lot of the B. c. Silver Mines. For years the Premier company has been able to replace mined ore by new supplies which previous ly, through adopting careful methods of estimation, had been excluded from calculation Yet none the less the ore had always been present. We are satisfied that to any reason able person we have proved the worth of the property, so development work as such will cease, although technical and statistical work will continue pending the receipt of the fur ther communication from the Premier company, to which 1 have referred, when we shall have to decide upon what lines the mine shall be worked and equipped. Fortunately, we do not require to ask Sharehold- CTS for any funds. We have sufficient to maintain your Company's assets and to stay the course indefinitely, and there l must leave it.

 Of the 59,278 persons resi- dent in the Tertiary, a total of 27,752 persons 10 years of age or over were reported as having gainful occupations on October 1, 1929, which num- Der represents 46.8 per cent of the population. Persons usual ly working at gainful occu- patton, but unemployed at the time the census was taken, are included in the number of gainful workers.
 Of the 27,752 gainful work CTS, 24,898 were males, rep resenting 69.6 per cent of the male population; and 2,854 were females, representing 12.1 pc rcent of the female population.
 The whole number of gain ful workers was distributed by industry groups as follows:
 1.198 in agriculture, 397 O: whom were engaged in gen. eral farming, APO in fur farm ing and 381 in the reindeer farming industry; 5,187 in forestry and fishing; 4,787 in coal mines and other mines and quarries; 3,034 in manu- featuring and mechanical in dustries, including 1,O32 ir food and allied industries, GIG in building industries, SIS in independent hand trades, 289 in iron and steel industries 226 in saw and blaming mills 23 in other wood working in dustries, 126 furriers, 61 ir clothing and other textile in dustries, 55 in printing, pub fishing and engraving, 36 il automobile repair shops, 2E shoe and snow-shOe makers IA tanners, and 213 in other manufacturing industries; B., 006 in transportation, includ, ing 1,260 on steam railroads 1,746 were engaged in trade including banking and insur- ance, and fur dealers and trad ing post dealers; 915 in pub- lie service; 1,406 in profession al service, 6,099 in domestic and personal service; and 374 in industries not specified.

SELUKWE WAITING
 FOR PREMIER MOVE

The report of the annual meeting of the Selukwe Gold Mining and Finance Company was received from London this week and reveals the com pany attitude with respect to the B. c. Silver in the follow ing statement by MT. Crom- we'll Hockley, chairman and managing director:
 To close we come to the af- fairs of the B. c. Company.
 The Engineers report is in your hands. The footage ac- complished was 2,973 feet. Last year the Engineer report ed in the following terms :- "The downward extension of the Premier AID stope was en- countered at roughly $50 ft from the shaft. This zone is too close to the boundary line to show much possibility ot' tonnage above the No. 6 level. To indicate the conservativ, methods adopted in reporting values, this years work on the same level shows that the main development raise No
 651 on the B2 zone, exposed high grade ore for a distanct of 50 feet above 6 level, a; which point a sublevel, to the northeast was started. Tho values obtained in the raise averaged considerably better than the sampling of the 6 level drift reported in the pre- vious year. I am, therefore, encouraged to think that wher mining commences average values will be secured. Share
 holders may remember tha, at the meeting held on April 28 last year MT. Banks, yom consulting engineer, stated that in his view the develop ments at that date might reasonably be expected to pro- duce ore of value of between $6,000,000 and S10,000,000. The Directors enquired wheth- CT he wished, in, so far as the opening up of the orebodies had gone, to modify or ampli- fly this statement, to which he replied "The development work recently done on the ore bodies of the B. c. Silver has not altered my views, as eX- pressed at last years Selukwe meeting, as to the ore that might reasonably be expected from the property" Clear, hear.) Much time has been oc- cupied and some expense has been incurred in surface work surveying alternative mill and other sites, applying to Gov ernment for grant of water rights, and so on. These mat ters, although sounding trivial, take up a long time, and with regard to the water the Gov ernment require very exact in- formation. Some Shareholders are, fear, very naturally mis- led by the name of the B. C. Silver Mines into thinking that the fall in the value of the precious metal, if, indeed, it is any longer precious, must de- stroy the value of our products, May I say that when publica- tion of the assays appear in the monthly reports they are obviously based on the current valuation of the metal. Perhaps it would encourage Sharehold' CTS to know that through some unexplainable freak of nature the proportion of gold in the B. c. ore is about 60 per cent

swore you were here and it was proved you were there?" asked tho Doctor
 Why, wouldn't that only be further proof of the cunning ot the madman? I must have slipped away from here and done it, ana got back again, without being missed. If I were seen and they track me down and try to prove it on me, that is.' And why, exactly, did you do it?" asked the Doctor.
 Now you're asking questions, 1 Simmy,' and the madman with an ugly leering grin, playfully shook 1 his finger in the Doctors face. Did you come straight here from Witherby End?"
 "Ah! Got you! How does the innocent Dr. Charters happen to know that Spider Schlitzs place is the Witherby End of the we'll known racehorse owner and sports man, MT. Theophilus Webb?"
 And, with a thoroughly ugly laugh, the madman picked up an ebony ruler and poked the unsnlil- ing doctor in the ribs.
 Who said MT. Theophilus Webb of Witherby End was Spider Schlitz of the old gang?' the madman re- peated.
 l Slowly nodding his head, Dr. Charters tacitly admitted that the time had come to change his ground. Taking that gentlemans advice, he metaphorically put his cards on the table and his hands up.
 And why did you go after Spider Schlitz?" he asked again. 1 A twisted, cruel smile was the only reply.
 Well, who are you, anyway" pursued the Doctor.
 Still inquisit-vel I'll tell you who I am, all in good time, Simon. Meantime I'll tell you what I am. I'm the most valuable patient in

 MYSTERIOUS WAVE BEzS BEAS ESEzt SEl

SYNOPSIS: The oddly famil- jar face of man who confront5 Dr. Charters in his consulting room and addresses him as "Haif-hung' Simon stirs the doctors memories. Charters, a medical graduate in England, 2 charlatan and finally a gang ster in America, has left Spider Schlitz and Chink Dorson in jail there and returned to Eng land with their, as well as his own, shares of the St. Clair diamond haul. Now he is the pro prietor of a fashionable nursing hciric, one Of his pa tients being pretty Marjorie Lauderdell, who protests that the medicine of Dr. MacAdoO, on his staff, is making her worse. She declares that she was net i'll until she moved to the home of her uncle MT. Laudcrdell. Her aunt, whom Charters remembers as Maud, "evil genius" of his American days, hands him a note and tells him that Marjorie's twen- ty first birthday is September first.

when a hard, low drive was hit out toward me. I raced in and just managed to get my glove on the ball above my toes, then threw quickly to second base for a double play.
 '1'll never forget the feeling got that day when the crowd stood and gave me a terrific cheer. For youngster, just busting in, i. was great break"
 "The most dramatic game in which I ever figured, however, Carey went on, was the final con- test of the 1925 worlds series in which the Pirates finally beat Wal ter Johnson and the Washington Senators for the championship. T have never played in so ex- citing a game or che so filled with sudden turns of fortune, capped by that ninth-inning climax when Cuyler's hit, with the bases full, DrOke up the game.
 Tt was a tough game for Old Barney Johnson to lose And what great sportsman he is. You may recall, was on first base in that inning when Cuyler was at bat With the count two strikes and one ball, Johnson put one over that might have been called either way The umpire called it ball. Johnson thought it was the third strike, but the only gesture he made was to turn to look at Bucky Harris and shake his head a lit- l tie.
 Some t.me after that, I saw Johnson and asked hiIl what he thought about the incident. He smiled but just remarked, Well, that might have been a strike"
 Carey's all-around play, especially his hitting and running, fea- tured the 1925 series. He was a thorn to Johnson throughout that final game, making four straight hits and reaching first safely on his fifth and final turn at the bat o.l a play that was charged as an error to Roger Peck inpaugh, the "goat" of the series.
 Carey hopes to land a job as coach with some major league out fit before the season starts. Two years ago, after concluding his l, playing career with the Pirates, Max took over the tough job of making base runners out of the Brooklyn Robins and succeeded be- yond the expectations of any of the experts.
 Carey's prize pupil was the col orful Babe Herman, who learned how to run bases under Max's tute- lage as well as how to bag fly ball in the sun-field without having it first bounce off some part of his anatomy.

Schlitz be?" he asked patiently. "Oh, come off it, Simon. Don't waste time. Cards down and hands up. Spider Schlitz is, or rather was, the dear old pal of Half hung Simon, alias English Simon, alias Doc Sellar, alias Limey Doc, alias The Reverend, alias Soapy Sam Symons. Also the dear old pal of Black Jack, Spud Hooley, Jim Crow, Chink Dorson, Slim Spike Sim mons, Chicago May, Frisco Fan ny, Gunman Gryde, Bohunk Mar witz, The Bad Wop, Dutch Dettin- ger, Shorty Long, Eddie Guerin, Billy the Kid, and the rest of the boys
 And Spider Schlitz has got his, has he? And you want an alibi and an aslyum?"
 You've grasped it, Simon. You've got to prove that I've been here somewhat longer than have; and alternatively you've got to prove  that, in any case, I'm much too playhouse, far too mad to have known what I was doing, or to be held responsible. A mental alibi in fact"
 And how should the second arise, if the first one is good?" in- quired the Doctor, humoring the self-declared lunatic.
 Why, now, Simon, suppose that, in spite of your proofs and pro- testations, I'd been seen at Spider Schlitz's place-identification, foot prints, finger-marks-and I was for it-that's where the looney dope would get me off. ;. Get me sent-up instead of strung-up, any how; if not acquitted"
 And where should I be, if I
