director, at present a guest at the Seward Hotel, and, for the benefit of those who are interested in mining and probable investors, a summary of the prospectus is herewith published:
 Location
 The holdings which comprise 10 quartz claims and one placer claim are located on Eva Creek in the Bonnifield Mining District of In- terior Alaska. They are II miles by good gravel road from Ferry Station, Mile 371, on the Alaska Railroad.
 History
 This property, generally known as the Liberty Bell Mine, is owned by five men, residents of the Fair banks district. Two of these men, John Cook and John J. Murphy, were the original discoverers of the mine During June, 1880, five-year lease and portion was granted to four partners: Oscar F. Erickson, Bror Johnson, Algot Norberg and Justus Johnson. They immediately took possession of the property and have been con- tinuously at work for the past year exploring the ore body. Their work, done at their own expense, has exposed a very profitable body of gold ore. On June 9. 1881, the property was incorporated under the laws of Alaska as the Eva Creek Mining Company.
 Capitalization
 Fifty thousand shares of pre- ferred stock at $1.00 par value, 125,OOO shares of common sotck at $1.OO par value. Oscar Erickson, Bror Johnson, Algot Norberg and Justus Johnson have transferred their lease and option, plus all mining and other equipment, to the Eva Creek Mining Company in exchange for 63,50O shares of common stock.
 Purpose of Present Stock Issue
 In order to secure $40,OOO for the erection of a 5O-ton flotation concentrating mill and other nec-

The Vice Squad
Well Produced

Handling a story that might be
sordid, in a careful manner and at
ali times with a fine consideration
OF good taste, "The Vice Squad
which plays tonight at Fox Imper-
ial airdome presents a startling pic
ture of present day police methods
in our large cities.
The plot tells the story of young
diplomat who is placed in the
clutches of the police when he re-
fuses to disregard the duty of a
gentleman and give the name of a
woman wanted by the police. For
his course OF action the police force
him TO become a stool pigeon" ,
playing on the weakness of women.
Paul Lukas, who is cast in the
leading role, gives an excellent IN
terpretation of very difficult part,
and proves himself most capable
actor. Kay Francis, as the wealthy
girl in love with him, and Helen
johnson, as the girl whom he even
tually marries, round out a strong
trio of characters.
Rockcliffe Fellowes as the detect
i've and Esther Howard, as the hard
boiled girl friend of Miss Johnson,
are also pleasing,

QUIZ REPORTER
ON REMARKS BY
DAVID H. CLARK

LOS ANGELES, June %. lU.R)-
The double murder of Herbert
Spencer and Charles Crawford
came before the Los Angeles county
grand jury today when Ralph
Shawhan, newspaper reporter, was
questioned, presumably regarding
remarks made by David H. Clark,
awaiting trial on the murder charge.
Shawhan was in the jury room
only a brief time, and it was be-
lieVed the newspaper man was
asked about an interview with Clark
in which the accused man was al
legged to have said he had been in
2 room" with Spencer and Craw-
ford.
Prosecutor Joseph Ford refused to
say whether ShaWhan will be called
as a witness in Clark's trial.
ShaWhan's appearance before the
grand jury was made, it was
thought, simply to get his testimony
into the records inasmuch as the
testimony was denied admittance at
Clark's preliminary hearing on the
protest of defense counsel.
After questioning the reporter, it
was believed the jury resumed in
vestigation of assertedly fraudu-
lent stock sales in q mining promo
tion, begun at the jury's initial
session last week. Investors were
said to have lost 100000 in the
mining scheme.

new DIVORCE
RECORD MADE
IN RENO COURT
BY EARL ii. LEEF
lited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staif Correspondent
RENO, New, June %. (U.P)-With
another record established for swift
divorces, Reno "colonists" turned
back their attention today to the
Vanderbilt matrimonial feud
and the prospect OF a contested
suit between Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Jr., and his young wife, Mary Weir
Vanderbilt.
A new record of Id degrees was
set yesterday in the two courts OF
Washoe county. The old record OF
"a had stood only a week. Almost
half the cases were filed i'll the
morning and heard in the after
noon.
The Vanderbilt suit, in which the
young society author accused his
wife of cruelty, was not among the
uncontested cases handled by Judge
Ben Curler and Thomas Moran at
the "five and ten counters where
a hearing never lasts over 10 min
utes and often is finished in five.
William Woodburn, attorney for
Mrs. Vanderbilt, said she would
take court action today in reply to
her husbands suit. He said she
either would file an answer or
cross-complaint.
Any hopes for a reconciliation
were dashed by Vanderbilt himself,
who through Sam Platt, his coun-
sci, said he was determined upon
a divorce" Vanderbilt, whose mar
itaI difficulties were brought to
public attention when he told OF
chasing Peter Arno, cartoonist, out
of his house with a gun, said he
had nothing to add
Vanderbilt said he was consider
ing an alienation of affections suit
against Arno and later limited that
he might settle things with ArnC
if we meet alone some place" He
denied today, however, that he hac
intentions of further physical con-
flict.
I'll make things unpleasant fol
Arno," he said, but not by physical
means"

WALES OBSERVES
HIS BIRTHDAY IN
BACHELOR STYLE
By j. L. PERCY

United PfeSS StaII 1OTTtspohuchs
LONDON, June %. U.P)-The
Prince of Wales observed his 37th
birthday, today, still unmarried.
For nearly 20 years, ever since
the prince approached a marrying
age, public opinion has expected
him to we'd Almost every eligible
girl in the world has been suggested
as his bride. He has turned them
all down, and today is as far from
married bliss as he ever was.
From sources close to the royal
court. the United Press understands
there is growing concern about the
princes apparent lack of interest
in marriage.
Briefly, the situation is this: King
George is 66 years old. Partly due
to his age and partly to illness he
can no longer take the active inter-
est in affairs of state he once did.
There is considerable opinion that
the time is not SO very far distant
when the British throne will be
vacant.
The question is, will the Prince
of Wales become king? It is well
known that he is not very fond Of
the idea, although all his life has
been devoted to the idea that one
day he must become a ruler. The
British constitution does not pro-
vide that the king must marry, but
there is an unWritten law that he
should do SO, if Only to carry on
the line Of succession.
Observers believe that if the
prince is ever going to marry it
must be soon because he is very
near the dividing line between
youth and middle-age, and because
it would be a matter of policy to
mount the throne accompanied by
q queen.
On the other hand there is a
fairly large section of the public
that is convinced the prince will
never marry and will never become
king. With absolutely no official
basis for its theories, it believes that
when the time comes the prince
will abdicate in favor of his BROTH
er, the Duke of York.
