Mike Hall is a 7-year.old son
Of HourlesS and Clonakilty. From
a cheap platter he developed into
one of those horses that showed
a liking for the distances and
today he had climaxed his career
by showing his heels to some Of
the finest horses in the coun-

The winner was trained by
Walter Taylor, whose brother,
Tommy, whipped Victorian into

chik Lake region north of Bris-
 tol Bay; and general field studies of mineral resources.
 The work in the Wrangell dis trict will be a continuation of that undertaken as an outcome of the two aerial photographic ex- petitions of the Navy Depart ment in 1926 and 1929, whereby photographs of practically the entire panhandle of Southeastern Alaska were made.
 The general program for this major project requires as a first step working up the photographs in the office so as to prepare drainage maps of the country. These drainage maps are then used in the field by a typographer as a base on which to show the height of the hills, valleys, and other natural features, so as to produce a complete topographic map. The field work on this pro- ject this season will be done in the vicinity of Wrangell and will carry northWard the topographic surveys that were completed in the neighborhood of Ketchikan and Cleveland Peninsula in 1880. Ths work will be done by R. H. Sargent, assisted by V. s. Seward, and it is expected that the party will map an area of a thousand square miles on a scale of about four miles to the inch.
 Detailed plans for the mining Investigations in Southeastern Alaska have not yet been com pleted or fully formulated, but will correspond in geenral char acter with those that have been

Railroad. It will be continued
 along lines essentially similar to
 those that have been followed for the past few years and will be performed by B. D. Stewart and J. J. Corey.
 The chief Alaskan geologist, Philip s. Smith, will spend as much of the open season as prac- ticable in the field in Alaska, with the object of obtaining in- formation about recent mining developments throughout the Ter rltory, for the purpose of prepar- ing the Geological Surveys an- nual report on the mineral indus try of Alaska for the current year. He will visit such of the above mentioned parties as can be readily reached and will examine the larger mining camps and such of the smaller ones as have not been recently visited by Ge- ologlcal Survey parties, so far as time and other conditions permit.

made in that region, especially
 covering recent mining develop
 ments in the Juneau and near
 by areas. This work will be car
 ried on by B. D. Stewart from
 his Juneau headquarters.
 1 The work in the Glacier Bay re-
 zion has been planned to bring
 to completion a project which
 was started some time ago but
 had been laid aside and will be
 directed toward furnishing infor-
 nation regarding the general geo. logy and mineral resources of
 this region. The party incidentally
 should obtain much information regarding advances and retreats of the glaciers of the region that
 will be of considerable scientific importance. Through cooperation
 with the Bureau of Mines it is planned that c. w. Wright, who is now member of that Bureau but started this work as mem
 Der of the Geological Survey, shall have the principal direction of this project.
 . In the Klutina Lake country, which lies south of Copper Gen. ter and west of the government road-the Richardson Highway, which runs from Valdez into the interior of Alaska-is a tract of several thousand square miles much of which lies in rugged mountainous country. In this dis trict a topographic party in charge of c. F. Fuechsel will con- duct reconnaissance topographic surveys during the summer of 1881 as basis for mineral inves- tigations to be carried on there when a map is available.
 In the northern part of the Copper River Basin, including part of the high mountains of the Alaska Range and extending northward so as to include por- tions of the valleys of streams tributary to the Tanana River, is a large tract of country whose general geological features and mineral possibilities are but lit te known.
 Fred H. Moffitt will conduct geological Investigations in this region during the coming field season. This work will be con- tinuation of work started in 1929 by MT. Moffitt but temporarily discontinued in 1880 because of pressure of other duties. The re- zion is of special economic inter est because valuable mineral de- posits are already known in near by areas.
 Ever since the earliest investiga- ] tionS of Alaska's mineral resources Geological Survey parties have traversed parts of the great belt of country lying between the Yu- kon and Panama Rivers The di- verse reports from these various parties, working under different conditions and with different points of view, have furnished a arge volume of technical data hat requires coordination and re- ;onciliation to current knowledge. For several years the task of thus ;oordinating all observations in ,hiS region has been in progress by J. B. Mertie, IT,, and that task s now approaching completion, put before it is finished certain special problems require further field consideration, and in order Q get the needed supplementary 1ata MT. Mertie will visit as much >f the western part of this region IS is practicable during the sea- son.

OYSTER ATTACK
RESENTED

ANNAPOLIS, Feb 21.-A reso-
luton protesting against libel
Gus, untruthful and poisonous
propaganda" allegedly dissent
mated against the Maryland
oyster, has been prepared by Dele
gate Augustus Ward, Somerset,
and is ready for introduction in
the house.
Oyster dealers in Crisfield, &C.
cording to Mr.. Ward, have been
supplied with copies of the state
ment which declares the oyster
dangerous to ones health and
aesthetic sense to eat" These
have been sent by customers in
the Middle West. The copies are
in the name of the Good Health
Extension Bureau, of Battle
Greek.
The resolution points out that
the Maryland State department
of health has found the waters
in which Maryland oysters are
grown pure and unpolluted and
the findings have been checked
by the United States Health Ser
vice." The resolution asks the
general assembly to go on record
in protest of such literature.

STORIES CLASH
At INQUEST

The inquest into the death of
Henry Baker, colored, who died
early Wednesday as the result of
q gunshot wound alleged to have
been inflicted by Leroy Maxwell,
colored prohibition agent, will be
continued Monday morning.
For more than five hours a
Coroner's Jury yesterday heard
witnesses in the case, but their
testimony was so contradictory
the jury decided more evidence
will be required.
Maxwell contended his revolver
slipped from its holster and went
off when it struck the bannister
on the second floor of a house
, near First and w Streets North
west, where he and another
colored agent, Eugene Jackson,
were attending party.
Other witnesses testified they
heard the hammer fall once on a
dead shell and then heard the
shot which ended Bakers life.
Examination of the gun. detec-
tives said, showed that one shell
had failed to explode.
