FORMER COLORADO 'FRCNT MONEY MAN
 NOW BEING HUNTED

U. S. Postal authorities are look ing for Frank Brady, president or United Engineering Co.,, of Phlladel- phia, under in indictment for mail fraud. The fraud case was started by mine operator who sought finances thru Brady and who ad- vanced him funds with which a financing campaign was to be start ed. No money was raised.
 A. T. Hawksworth, post office ln- spector at Philadelphia, writes as follows:
 Brady had an office at Room 6l5 Lewis Hover Building and 1914 Land Title Building, Philadelphia, Pa, and suddenly left in September 1880, for parts unknown. He proba- ply would try his ability in some kind of a mining proposition, and likely to be somewhere in the west ern part of the United States, even in California.
 Frank Brady, alias Frank A. Brady, is described as follows: Age about 62, but looks younger, about 55 years: smooth shaven, florid complexion, skin rough in texture has the appearance of having used intoxicants to quite an extent; heavy set, weight 165 to 175 pounds; height feet g inches; brown hair with grayish tinge; bass voice. Originally from Boulder, Colo, at tending the School of Mines, had practically experience in the west ern part of the United States, III China, Africa and South America. He has been connected with the advance fec or front money scheme since 1920 and may likely be connected with this scheme under some other name in any large city in the United States.
 Federal warrant for his arrest is in the hands of the United States marshall at Philadelphia. Brady was indicted in Philadelphia, Pa., on September 3, 1880, in connection with Melville s. Lewis and Edward Foote, of Foote & Co.,, appraisers and accountants of New York, and since that time Melville $. Lewis has committed suicide.'

L0UD SPEAKER |S
 BE|HC PERFEcTED
 FQR USE IN MINES

A new signaling device for shaft mines with a talking circuit be- tween cage or skip and the engine house is described by the U. s. Bureau of Mines. There has been a great need for a signaling system that could be operated from the cage and several successful meth ods have been developed. However. none is as complete as the method described, which is believed to be the only one with a talking circuit, a feature which in itself is great advantage.
 Two loud speakers are installed in the engine house-the cage loud speaker which is always in service and the skip speaker which is used when required. With this system it is possible to signal the engineer from both cage and skip from any place in the shaft whether or not the cage or skip is moving and it is possible at all times to talk with the engineer by using the tele- phone.
 Another added feature is the safety switch connected with the rope in the bonnet of the cage. This switch is normally open, but closes and automatically gives the stop signal whenever the rope slacks, which is a decided benefit if the cage becomes stalled in the shaft when being lowered.

MOOR|NC MAsTs IN THE
 ARCTIC, POLAR AIRLINE

Two parties of scientists ana mechanics have been sent to the Arctic to establish the two base stations farthest north for the proposed Zeppelin polar airline, planned to run from Berlin and London over the top of the world, down to Alaska and south to San Francisco.
 Four stations in all are to be built in the far north, each having a mooring mast, fuel deposits, food deposits, food stores and boats.
 An experimental flight by way of the pole is planned for this summer. Such a route by airline eliminates the present 12 days run on the Trans Siberian railroad, followed by a steamship trip across the Pacific.

 Tt seems good to hear from AL aska direct. Hardly a week goes by but what there is some news in our New York paper about your part of our country. l feel that my helping your college will give some of your boys and girls a lift in life, every little bit helps. The college impressed me as worthy object. Being so far away you do not and cannot raise money easily.
 we all extend our greetings to you and all the rest that we met in Alaska.
 Since our return l have inter ested several of my friends in AL aska and hope that they will make the trip. The daughter had great luck with her camera. One hun dred and 20 pictures out of the 130 taken were all right. We gave several Alaska parties, food as served in Alaska and cards, pic lures, and prizes that we bought there were given ot each guest, and made a great hit"
