C. F. JanncSen and MT. Lamon tn returned to Nome this week fQm the head of Snake river where they have been developing the old Jenneson-Connolly quartz mine.
 They are badly in need of some sort of road work in that section, as it costs about s75,0O per ton to freight supplies to their camp over the rough tundra country. and if quartz mining is to pro gress a' all, these men and othera are entitled to some consideration upon the showing made
 There is a quartz mill on tia propery which is run by watar power. some ore was run thru the mill this summer more for the purroS" of making tests.
 The ditch which supplies water for tn" mill was repaired, and the old shaft 65 feet in depth was pumped out. with the expectation of confirming it's depth to about 15" feet, but during the recent down pour of rain they were un- able to make headway in sinking bec"us" Of surface water flowing into the shaft.

Nome, August 23, 1882 Tie Reindeer Council,
 Federal Reindeer Service.
 Depa rtment of the Interior,
 Nome. Alaska.
 Gentlemen:-
 One of the officials of the De- partment of the Interior. Ernest Walker Sawyer. writing on the stationery of the Secretary of the Interior. addressed several letters to members of Congress, which said letters are incorporated in the hearings before the sub-Com- mttee on Appropriations in the United States Senate on the In terior Department Appropriation Bill for 1933, pages 103 to no. inclusive.
 These letters attempt to sum marize various and voluminous charges against our corporation made during a two year period by several individuals. practically all of which charges had been pre- viousiy filed with the Reindeer Committee in Washington. of which Senator John B. Kendrick was lndlrman. At tue clOSe or the Washington hearings. the Chairman clearly vindcated our corporation of all such charges. as will hereinafter be set forth.
 MT. Sawyer's letters contain many statements refiecting on the Lomen Reindeer Corporation, which are intentionally false inas- much as Mir. Sawyer made trip 10 Alaska into reindeer territory during the summer of 1880 to in vcstigate various charges made against this corporation, studied the industry for at least two years preceding the writing of said let ter and had access to the files and records of the Lomen Reindeer Corporation.
 Because of his investigations and long study. it is apparent that the misstatements made were malic- ions, for which reason we respect fully request and petition your body to listen to our counter proof and check on our document ary evidence which will refute the written statements of Mir. Sawyer. Should you hold that your body does not have the Jurisdiction to take up this matter, we respect fully request that your Chairman and the Federal Reindeer Super intendant, members of your body, who are in executive and admin : istrative control of the reindeer service. grant our corporation a hearing at Nome at this time.
 The fact that our corporation was not supplied with copies of said letters and statements con tained in said Senate Hearings and that said Government docu- ment was in print and the hear ings closed before we were ad- vised thereof. gives us a right to make this request at this time and, should we show conclusively

has been doing it by sending people
to me to have work done who would
pay a little down then when work

at this point. and after a few sem
fences the writer refers to the slay-
ing of Mrs. Elder:
This woman confessed (the mans

Rescue Squads Are

POISONOUS GAS IS MENACE

Moweaqua, ILL.,, Dec. 27.-P)-Hope
was stricken from Moweaqua's vocab-
ulary Tuesday as this village Of 1,400
moved to bury its dead-victims Of a
coal mine disaster.
No longer was there vestige OF
belief the remaining IS men trapped
some TOO feet underground still could
be alive. Saturday 81 miners were
entombed after an explosion loosened
an avalanche of debris, clogging ave-
nues of escape. Already 80 bodies
have been unearthed.
The rescue crew which broke the
seal on the north entry to facilitate
the circulation of air reported upon
coming to the surface that they had
seen another body lying just inside
the barricade, making 40 known dead.
The condition Of the body was such
that no attempt would be made to
remove it until Wednesday when the
entry is to be exploded, they said.
AS to the otherS-"not even a mir
acle could save them now" That
was the way John Millhouse, direc-
tor of the rescue squads, put it.
Late Monday night workers hack
ed through shale, rock and coal to
open up the north wing of the mine
where it was believed the Is were
trapped. BY noon Tuesday, Mill
house said, sufficient fresh air would
have seeped through to make it safe
for squads to 60 into that section.
The explosion apparently had its
greatest effect in the north wing OF
the "T"- shaped mine, he said.. The
men there, he believed, either were
victims of poison gas or had been
crushed to death.
The bodies of the 80 were found
In debris at the intersection OF the
EFT" and in the south wing.
Over the Christmas holidays ex-
pert rescue squads toiled ceaselessly,
burrowing through debris in the hope
of reaching someone alive, someone
who could guide them to others who
still might be alive.
Rescuers' efforts were met only by
bodies.
From time to time rescue squads
were driven back by Seeping gas and
crumbling debris. If none are brought
out alive the death toll will be the
second largest for any mine disaster
in the state, Millhouse said. The
largest was in 1909 when fire reared
through coal mine at Cherry, snuff
fling out 267 lives.
