COUNT OF BEAR IS STARTED ON
 ADMIRALTY ISL.
Forest Service and Game Commission Collaborate
 Tn Check on Bruin

A combined Forest Service and Alaska Game Commission force left here today for the south end of Admiralty Island to make close study of brown bear conditions and, as far as is possible, to count bears noses. The object of the expedition is to arrive at an ap- proximate figure of the number of brown bear on the island.
 Admiralty Islands bear popula- tion is a debated question. Esti- mates ranging from 500 to 5000 have been made Men like Allen Hasselborg, Mole Harbor big game guide, estimate it between 800 and 1000.
 Members of the expedition in- cluded: Jay P Williams and Tom : my Thomsen, bot h experienced woodsmen and hunters, from the Forest Service, and Territorial Game Warden Frank Dufresne and H. R. Sarber from the Game Commis- sion. Williams and Thomsen are aboard the Ranger VII, Capt. Clay Barriclod, with Ed. Powell as cook. Dufresne and Sarber are aboard the Sea Otter, Capt. K. c. Tal- madge.
 The two parties will work in conjunction. They will begin at Murder Cove on the southerly ex- tremity of Admiralty Island and work north along the eastern slope. They will cover all of the main watersheds back to the main ridges, observing all natural signs and counting such animals as are seen. Care will be taken to eliminate double counting. After completing the eastern half of the island a similar study will be made on the western slopes.

GERMANY. FACES. STERN MEASURE

Mailed Fist May Be Swung On Account of Re-
 cent Disturbances RUTHLESS FIGHT IS PREDICTED BY NAYS Hitler and Won Papen May Lock Horns in Open
 Defiance

BERLIN, Aug. 9.-The German Government, goaded by two months of rioting, bombings, shootings and knifings, is prepared to swing the mailed fist with authority to put an end to the disorders.
 Chancellor von Papen has call ed a meeting of the Cabinet to map out program for use of the sternest measures possible, with the death penalty attached, to re- store peace.
 Speculation as to the part the Hitler's Nazis will play is given in a vehement editorial in the Nazi newspaper demanding 8 decisive i fluence in the Governments course" This is interpreted to mean the party will expect Hitler to challenge von Papen for the Chan cellorship.
 "If we are denied leadership, the only answer is a ruthless fight" concludes the editorial.
 Since June more than 100 have been killed, nearly 1,5oo se- riously injured.
 Two deaths occurred last night.

Juneau Men Bring Plati- mum Specimens from
 4 Months Trip

Win samples of placer, plat mum, including one nugget weigh ing several pennyweights, H. S. Graves and Peter Brevik have re- turned to Juneau from a three months prospecting and explora- tion trip to the Goodnews area in Southwest Alaska. The area of the platinum deposits is relatively small, declared MT. Graves today. and virtually all ground that gives promise of pay has been staked. About Il men were in the district this summer.
 The property acquired by MT. Garves and MT Brevik will be worked to determine it's values next spring.
 Flew From Seward
 On leaving Juneau early in May. MT. Graves and MT. Brevik voy- aged to Seward From there they flew to the diggings, which are about II miles to the interior from Goodnews Bay. In returning home, they travelled to Dillingham; and from there took the motorship Starr to Seward, where they em- parked on the Yukon, reaching here last night
 To date there has been no dis- covery of platinum in lode form on the American continent in con- mercial quantities, But it has been found elsewhere in the world in such geological formation as characterizes the Goodnews Bay district.
 Speaking of the country from a prospecting standpoint, MT. Graves said that, due to the small erea, and the fact that all possible com- mercial deposits have been staked, there is little room for others and small chance of acquiring holdings.
 Has Faith In District
 However, I believe this one of the richest platinum deposits yet in the world" said MT. Graves. and next spring we in- tend to do considerable explora- tion work to determine every ques- ton associated with both placer operations and the possibility of 8 lode being buried in Red Mountain"
 Tn addition to the five or more creeks showng values. there may be possibilities in Salmon river, in- to which. these creeks flow said MT. Graves. T am informed that one test hole was sunk by driving drill casing. but am not informed of the result. This is a flat boulder free strip offering splendid facili- ties for dredging. It is approxi- matesy 30 feet to bedrock and easily

 It is said that Canada must con- slider her 1O.OOO,OOO population. The British seek trade with Russia with 00,000,0 900 population.

 Car loadings and power produc- tion show little improvement.
 "Fear'
 The favorite answer to the stock selling during March and June was fear" There was a sharp decline when gold was pouring out of the country and the fear that the United States would eventual ly be forced off the Gold Stand ard. Then there was fear that radical disturbing legislation would be enacted by Congress. The out flow of gold ended when Congress adjourned. Then there was a change and bullish buying of se- curities resulted, changing the en- tire ne ntal attitude.
