MONTREAL, July 28.-Captain
Wolfgang Won Gronau, G e r m a n

dor Monday, denied today that he
would continue the flight around

nothing about the refueling de-
pots at Prince Rupert. Chichagof

dicating a projected trip to Japan.
He said he might go to Hollywood
to view the picture making indus

Greenland Wal, carried crew of

GOLD SEPARATING MACHINE
FASHIONED IN KETCHIKAN

HeckInan-C arringtons window Is
the center of great excitement to-
day due to the display of gold
separating device designed and
built by Burrass Smith, says the
ketchikan Chronicle. The machine
itself, rather harmless looking. will
save free milling values, according
TO Stanley Adams, manager of
Heckman-Carrington hardware de-
partment.
Mr.. Smith, the designer, intends
to take the machine to one of the
mines operating in this vicinity
where there is loss in the mill
ing to give his machine further
tests. One of the features of the
device is that it is designed for air.
plane transportation. 1t can be
arranged SO that it folds into a
cone-shaped package and then is
easily handled and will fit neatly
into compartment of the average
airplane.
Another feature that has held the
attraction of passersby in the
Heckman-Carrington store is the
display of ore samples from all
parts OF Alaska. One sample is
said to contain values that will run
as high as $4,000 to the ton.
AS a further illustration that
gold mining activity is fervent in
this district is the display in the
First National bank window of
large brick of gold from the Dolo-
mi district. This particular brick
is said to be worth approximately
$500.

HENRY O'NALLEY ON INSPECTION TRIP
OF SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA FISHERIES

Cooks Inlet already has a good
pack with some time to go before
the season closes. The Kodiak area
is doing we'll, the last figures show
ing fine run of reds and a large
run of pinks entering the Karluk
river.
Chignik has a record pack of
reds and 100000 fish have es-
capped into the river. The Copper
river runs had fair percentage of
reds. Prince William Sound sal
mon runs are chiefly pink but
short with the prospect of a short
pack when the season closes on July
80. The salmon pack to date is
well over two aPd one-half million
cases, the majors y being reds.
So far, the runs of pinks in
southeastern Alaska are disap-
pointing, said Mr.. O'Malley. Icy
Straits has experienced the largest
run of chums in five years and the
runs of reds in southeast Alaska
are above normal but the pinks,
mainstay of the fisheries, are light.

Prince of Wales island districts.
The Commissioner is we'll salts
fled with the red salmon pack at
the westward. While available fig
ures are not final, it is certain that
the Bristol Bay pack will reach a
half million cases. Besides the big
pack there was SPLENDID escapement
in the rivers, practically all of
which have weirs. Kvichak alone
has a five-million escapement and
over a million an half have escaped
through the Naknek weir
Along the Alaska Peninsula, said
Mr.. OMalley, a half million cases,
largely reds, have been packed.

ECON 0 MIC
CONFERENCE

OTTAWA, July 2S.-Tne eco
nomlc conference which is being
neld here is of intense interest to
the more than 100 American branch
pants in Canada representing an
investment of about one-half bill
lion dollars, and deliberations in re-
gard to empire content" which is
the percentage OF empire materials
or labor which articles must con-
tain 10 qualify for customs entry
under the empire preferential tar
IF rates, are being watched closely.
Americans are making an effort to
protect their interests and it was
as dlsadvantageous to them may re-
suit in a Canadian-American agree
ment il the proposals are effected.
The conference has not progressed
smoothly, the Irish Free State and
the Union OF South Africa having
baked at the principle of prefer
ence tafl11 dealing When the I'M
perial conference first settled down
to real work. In the Irish objec-
ton there was an echo of a threat
ened tariff war over de Valera's
refusal to pay land annuities, and
the Union of South Africa was en-
phatic in her refusal to subscribe
to the theory of a self-contained
and isolated British Empire for the
rest of the Dominions.
The appointment of Walter Run
Gilman and j. H. Thomas as Great
Britains members of the Com
mittee on Commercial Relations
with foreign countries late last
week gave satisfaction to Ameri-
can. observers of the conference.

Sea Disaster Traps
SO German Cadets

KEEL, Germany July 27-The
greatest naval disaster since the
war occurred yesterday when the
old windjammer, Niobe, went over
on her side in a squall a few min
utes after exchanging greetings
with the seaplane DO-X. The 50
German naval cadets who persisted
were trapped at their school desks
between decks when the vessel
sank. Thirty-seven men including
the captain were saved and picked
up by the steamer Therese Russ
which was near the scene of the
disaster. Salvage vessels equipped
with diving apparatus are at work
and giant searchlights are being
played on the waters but no adj
ditional survivors have been found.
The Niobe was a war prize and
had been reconditioned for naval
training ship. For two years she
was commanded by Count Felix Won
Luckner who was dubbed 1.-THE Sea
Devil because of his world war
exploits. She was on her way to
Warnemuende. Naval authorities
while at loss to explain the disast-
er gave the opion that the crew
was unprepared for the sudden gale
