NEW YORK. Oct. 13.-John
Nance Garner, Democratic
Vice Presidential nominee. was
mistaken Wednesday for an
elevator starter.
While standing in the lobby
of a Madison avenue building,
waiting for an elevator to take
him to the office Of Charles
Nicholson, Democratic pub
licity director, he was ap-
preached by a little old man.
Say, boss the man asked,
What floors Cholly Michel
sons office on?"
Garner smiled, pushed his
gray felt hat back on his fore
head, and drawled:
Sorry I can't help you. I'm
a stranger here myself"

tiful host. In warm weather he
takes crowds of children for boat
rides. He stages excursions and
picnics and clam bakes.
Food is distributed to many OF
the needy. Children are given
Christmas parties and presents are
distributed. Thus they become the
friend of Tammany almost from the
cradle.
DISTRICT leaders are named
~ according to assembly districts.
There are thirty-hve such leaders.
Since women have had the vote
there are thirty-five feminine CO.
workers.
The women are given much re-
sponsibility, but not a great deal
of prominence. They are used chief
ly at election time
New York does not have thirty
five assembly districts, but many
districts have two leaders when the
population is particularly great or
il districts have been merged.
Each district leader has a captain
Each captain has a staff of lieuten-
ants. Most of them are locally
prominent in public life. Most Tam
many Club members hold city jobs.
AT election time it's up to the
captain and his staff to get out the
votes. Rewards and puniShmentS
await the varied results. A cap
tain who can get big results will go
far, One who doesn't will come to
a hasty finish.
These votes, of course, are Demo-
cratic votes, since Tammany is
nothing more nor less than the
Democratic county organization.
This organization, however, has
been gradually changing and its
strength has been shifting. If the
Tigers skin shows alterations, it's
because the face of the city has
been lifted and altered.
The old East Side is not what it
used to be. Vast millions have
moved, with Brooklyn as the favor
lite changing point. The Bronx, too.
has taken tens of thousands from
the old tenements. The power
which once rested in the East Side
has shifted largely to Brooklyn.
TIME was when the Tammany
i organization was limited to the
area between the Harlem river and
the Battery. This has stretched.
And John McCooey, Brooklyn chief,
is now a mighty figure.
But it's another John-Curry-
who reigns in Tammany Hall. One
day a week is open day" for Curry.
He was Mayor Walkers choice. And
the two threatened to go down to-
gether when Walker was removed
from office.
The more recent nomination OF
Surrogate Judge O'Brien for the
mayorship revives Curry's hopes of
remaining in the saddle" however.
For O'Brien was Curry's choice.
Tammany Hall, having been born
in the ghetto zone. looks out on
Union Square, where the underdog
suuats on benches or, grown radical,
fights with the cops.
In keeping with its traditions.
the Hall is of colonial design. There
is a touch Of the stage set about it.
Curry's Office in the Hall" re-
sembles the directors room of a
big corporation. He is shielded
from the outside by thick and
long glass partition.
The only political sign is pro-
vided by a decorative porcelain
tiger, the gift of a loyal henchman.

gether? First you'll have to consider
the under-dog. Tammany always has
centered its strength on those mass
populated areas where the poor and
the middle class dwell in tenements
and cheap apartments
The east and west fringes of Man
haitian are the Tigers strongholds.
Scattered everywhere in such areas
are Tammany clubs. These are located
in residential buildings and halls. The
basement usually is a combined pool
and card room. There are Offices and
dance halls and meeting rooms on the
other floors.
ME Tammany club is the head
l. quarters of the district leader.
The district leader is everything from
Santa Claus to an adviser of the love-
lorn. He's fixer and a provider.
To him come men out of work They
get card, or a note.

Twenty years ago, ragged pros pector drawing small handSled emerged from the night into the then pulsating plac camp of Girdwood, located we'll up Turn again Arm where it cuts back into the rugged country from upper Cook Inlet. The prospector paid his score at the roadhouse with coarse gold.

When asked whence he came, the prospector merely replied: From over the hill"
 Over the hill" in the Girdwood country covered a wide area with many directions to choose from. Many chose, but few were able to trace the source of the strangers poke.
 Then it leaked out that Judge" Goodall, U. $. Commissioner at Ju- neau,' had from time to time shipped out gold supplied him by the stranger. According to legend many thousands of dollars found their way to the U. s. Assay Office at Seattle thru Judge" Goodall's hands, all of which was brought in by the mysterious stranger.

COPY, ALASKA SUPREME
 COURT BILL RECEIVED

Among the bills offered and which have been ordered printed by the House is the Wickersham House Resolution 9843, "A bill to establish a Supreme Court for the Territory of Alaska, etc." A copy of the bill was recently received by The Gateway.
 Under the provisions of the bill, the Supreme Court would be com posed of four district judges in the Territory, any three of which will constitute a quorum. The court will possess, so far as is necessary to it's appellate jurisdiction, all of the powers and jurisdiction of a district court and shall be the judge thereof.
 The incentive of this bill is to relieve litigants from the burden some expense of taking appeal cases to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the States. It is estimated that the average cost of such appeals exceeds $2,OO0, making it impossible for Itigants of small means to have final judg- ment passed by an appellate court.

AMERICAN GAN COMPANY WILL FILE IN ALASKA.
 SAYS KETCHIKAN PAPER

The American Can company is filing articles of incorporation in the Territory of Alaska. This was made known by the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 Although the matter of incor- poration in Alaska is a formality followed by many outside com panles, observers are inclined to be- lieve and hope that the decision to do so now has some connection with the previously announced plan of the company to construct a factory in Ketchikan.
 The company has made known that it's plans to construct the fac- tory at Ketchikan have not been abandoned, although the existing condition of the salmon canning industry necessitated delay in the program originally decided on.
 The American Can company has an aut h ized capitalization of $110,000,000, according to the arti- cles of incorporation. Its principal offices are in New York, although it is New Jersey corporation The papers show assets in excess of $195, 100000, with unsecured liabil- ities of $22,OOOOOO. With the papers, a check for $1,205 will be sent to the Territorial treasury to cover the stipulated incorporation fees.

Now comes the story of a man who wandered the region in search of mountain sheep. Far up the lit tie stream leading into Nellie Juan he found evidences of ancient workings. How old these workings are no one can compute. but some of them appear to have been creat- ed by the early Russians, gauged by the stumpS of trees of large di- menSionS which were cut and whip sawed for sluice boxes.
 Seek Placer Field
 With maps of the region contain ing tracingS of the old workings, now almost obliterated by time, parties will start a hunt for what is believed to be rich placer field.
 According to the legends, the man who shipped his gold thru Judge" Goodall, said he picked the nuggets from a shallow creek leading into the Nellie Juan river, or Portage River, at the head of Portage Bay. Thus giving rise to the belief that the old RuSsion workings are but a key to the final discovery of rich ground.
 Hunters who have penetrated the region pronounce it overlain with glaciers for about two months in late summer. It is the belief that on one of the creeks leading from a glacier the rich pay will be found.
 Golden Paradise
 The legendary lost mine is but one of the lures beckoning to the proSpector along the shores of Prince William sound and Nuka Bay, the latter approximately 75 miles west of Seward Grizzled pros pectors, too old to~leave the little log cabin and climb the hills, report large lodges of free milling gold ore lying back from the waters edge. These reported finds cannot b e reached from the ocean owing to the rugged barrier of hills interven- ing, and the immense glaciers that spread like spiderweb froh higher peaks. It must be tackled from the Cook Inlet side or from the Moose Pass region, where the gold d-bearing ledges emerge from the rugged up- land and across into Hope and Gird- wood, regions that have produced many millions of dollars in lode and placer gold.
 The days of exciting stampedes passed with the saloon and the boomers. It requires something more than a few colors in pan to send men scurrying into the very Arctic. But many of the legends which died many years ago have returned, along with visible evil dence of verity and prospectors are expected to confirm many of them during the coming summer when every man who is not otherwise en- gagged will head for the hills with pick, shovel and pan.
