q MILLIONAIRE KID" |S
 VISITOR IN SEWARD;
 ENRQUTE ID INTERIOR

Joe Jackson, be ter known throughout Alaska and in Seattle as the Millionaire Kid" arrived in Seward today on the SS Alaska from Southeastern Alaska and is enroute to Anchorage Id the Matanuska district MT. Jackson IS well known throughout the Terri tory for his lead and silver ore dis coveries in the Portland Canal dlS- trict and his discovery last year of the promising gold-bearing quartz leads on Chichagof Island.
 While outside last winter, MT. Jackson m de arrangements to send a party of prospectors into the Matanuska district in back of Chickaloon. These men are now in the field and it is in connection with this expedition that he is en- route to that area.
 The company sponsoring the Matanuska prospecting expedition is known as the Alaska Grubstake Company; MT. Jackson is field manager of the company. Bob Wark, well known Seattle aviator, remembered as the man who land ed his airplane on the top of the Bon Marche building in Seattle last year, is president of the com pany and his brother. secretary.
 The company is to carry on prospecting in Alaska and British Columbia. They are to send about 200 men into these two sections and they will cover wide area seeking mineral deposits.
 A party of 50 men will be allo- cated to the Stikine River and they will prospect the Cassiar dis trict.
 MT. Jackson, who has been in the mining game for 16 years, says that the Grubstake company is an honest gamble which gives the prospector and the company an equal chance for their investments. He says that during all the years he has been mining, he has done fairly well'' and added that what I have will be put into this com pany, and we will do our utmost to bring mining back to what it was before the war" He says AL aska and northern British Colum- bia have barely been scratched as far as mining is concerned.
 While in Seattle last winter, MT. Jackson gave a series of radio talks over station KPCB and while there wrote two songs: Come to Alaska and the Gall of the Midnight Sun" ]" Both are now in popular demand and they are said to be the first Alaskan songs to be published. Jackson has had records made of the songs and they have been heard many nights over station KPCB.
 Jackson brought two records north with him, one of which he gave to the Ketchikan broadcast ing station and the other one he intends to give to the Anchorage radio station, KFQD. He intended to make arrangements with the local theatre so that the song could be played this evening before the show started.
 MT. Jackson leaves on Saturdays train for the Interior.

 OVER BY BIOLOGIST

Accompanying the aerial survey party aboard the USS Gannet, en- route to Chignik Bay for a six months reconnaissance, is Stephen R. Capps, U. s. Geological Survey, who will make examinations on the lower Alaska Peninsula and possi- ply some of the Aleutian Islands.
 Possibly no man in Alaska has covered more territory or perform ed greater labors in the interest of the Geological Survey than MT. CappS.
 While in the Westward, MT. Capps will doubtless look into the reported platinum strike made by Jack McCord and the Diamond Kid" Toman. In all likelihood, MT. Capps will be prepared to give an advance bulletin to the world re- specting the importance of the find.
 Much interest has been created in the States through the reported find, and it is hinted that it's au- identification would go far toward attracting miners to the Territory.

FAIRBANKS HOMES ARE
 INUNDATED BY WATERS
 FROM THE CHENA RIVER

FAIRBANKS, Hay 3. tP)-An ice jam in the Cinema River has caused the waters to rise to new heights with a result that the lower district of Fairbanks Monday night was flooded and several homes had to be abandoned. Residents of the homes were unable to save their household effects and were forced to wade through the icy stream to places safe from the Swirling wa terS.
 The first intimation of the flood came during the night when the Swishing waters, from one to three feet in depth, swept over the floors of homes. The water level started dropping a few hours later.
 Only few of the homes were inundated today but unless the waters are liberated, further rises in the river are feared.

A|RPLANE LANDS 0N SLOPES MT. M'k|NLEY
 FIRST TIME HISTORY

An airplane landing on the slopes of Mount Mckinley was accom- plished for the first time last week when Joe Crosson, operations man. ager for the Alaskan Airways, set a large cabin plane down on Mul- drow glacier, according to the Fair banks News Miner.
 He effected the landing without difficulty on a broad level ice field. There was runway three miles long, he said with only slight indentations.
 Allan Carpe, E. P. Beckwith and another man flew with Crosson to the glacier. They form part of the expedition which will study cosmic rays.
 BeckWith returned to Nenana with Crosson. Two other members of the expedition are due there from Anchorage by speeder Sat- urday and they, with Beckwith will be flown to the glacier.
 Camp was established by the three members of tn expedition and as a wind started to blow, Crosson decided to take off. The point of the attempted take-o off was three miles from the camp
 The wind increased. in severity and soon had turned into a bliz- gard. Crosson got the plane up 300 feet once but down draft of wind forced him down to the glacier. The plane came down gently and as it did so another blast of wind started to lift it.
 From then on the flier's efforts were devoted to holding the ship down. He finally succeeded in do- ing so and by dint of hard work was able to fold back the wings, which removed the danger of the plane being blown about.
 CrosSon trudged back to the camp and spent the night there. By next morning the wind had died down and he took off.
 The Carpe-Beckwith party plans to remain On the mountain about three weeks making scientific stu dies. They will ascend to a maxi mum elevation of 11,OOO feet.
