 JAN ID MUCH FUR
 RETURN L|NDY BABY
WANTS TO BE RELEASED FROM PRISON so CAN UNDER
 TAKE HUNT

CHICAGO, Mar. Il. (P)-Al Ca pone Thursday said that he was pretty sure" that he could get Col onel and Mrs. Charles A. Lind bergh's baby back if he were re- leased on a bond from the Cook County jail where he is confined, pending an outcome of his appeal for conviction on tax evasion charges.
 The gang leader insisted that he never dreamed that the Lind bergh kid would be kidnapped. I had absolutely nothing to do with it, but it is probable that could do as much as anybody alive to- ward getting him back"
 Capone said that he was willing to put up bond of $200,000 for his release until his conviction was either confirmed or revised. Mean while, he would aid in the search for the baby.
 Capone made this statement af- ter he had been visited by Arthur Brisbane, editorial director of the Hearst newspapers, and Harry Read city editor of the Chicago Evening American. Brisbane said, after a conference with Capone, that he was not acting as an official repre- sentative of either the police au- thorities or the Lindbergh family Federal judges and officials were reticent when they were asked about their attitude toward freeing Al Capone on a bond.

Additional evidence of ancient civilization in Westward Alaska is supplied The Gateway by Q cor respondent.
 This evidence of habitations long before the Iron Age" is seen in the discovery of hundreds of bone and ivory implements, needles, spear and arrow points, dug from the banks around the hot springs which are located between Moller Bay and Herndeen Bay.
 Because of these hot springs, but primarily on account of being a means of rapid egresS and ingress to the Pacific from Bering Sea, resi- dents of that part of the Alaska Peninsula feel a road across the portage is justifiable It is said the project would be inexpensive to build and one of the most wei comed innovations on the entire peninsula

ALASKA JUNEAU
 ORE ENR|CHES
 ON DEEP LEVEL
WAINWRIGHT DOLLAR ORE IS REVEALED IN WORK ON
 6OO-FOOT LEVEL

That the Alaska Juneau has dis covered workable ore bodies rang from S2.60 per ton to more than $28 in it's deep level exploratory operations, in progress for more than year past, was revealed re- gently in an announcement from San Francisco that was published in various newspapers.
 The values were found in pros pecting operations on the No. 6 level, 500 vertical feet below the present main haulage level.
 Text of Announcement
 The following article appeared in the Boston News Bureau, one of the nations leading financial pub lications, short time ago:
 San Francisco - Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, in develop ment work 600 feet vertically below the tunnel where main mining op- erations now are being carried on, has struck ore that averages as high as $28 ton in gold for a distance of 15 feet in a drift 6OO feet below the haulage level. This compares with an average value or about $4.50 a ton for the full 6OO- foot depth and with less than the S1 a ton in main operations thru out all of 1881.
 ', The prespectil winzes are being ; deepened from ,ur to seven feet day with prosp cting levels turn 1 ed off from the yinze about every 100 feet. Prospecting now is being done on No. 8 level, or about 600 feet below the main haulage tun- nel
 1 Working west from the incline Winze on the 600-foot level the first 15 feet averaged $698 gold ton, the next 10 feet averaged $8.72 9, ! ton and the next 15 feet averaged $28.32 a ton.
 Prospecting. east from the winze on this level, the first 20 feet ay- eraged $584 a ton, the next 10 fees $2.60 and the next 10 feet SHAT.
 Juneaus mill during 1881 hand led approximately 4,162,35O tons Of lore, against 3,924,46 in 1880 and { 2,836, ,440 in 1929. This is an av- craze of just slightly less than A. 100000 tons for the last three years.
 If the mill is operated under present conditions the higher grade ore now available is sufficient to maintain operations for another 10 years. However, because of exist ing conditions the new ore will not be reflected in operations for some time, possibly not for more than a year.

Swedish Police May Use
Movies in Riot Trials

Stockholm.-The police here are
seriously thinking Of using moving
picture cameras during public dis
turbances. to help them gain convic-
tions. Stills taken during political
riots and the like have often been
produced in court as evidence to
show some person or persons in the
act Of stone throwing. The trouble
with stills, however, is that although
a person may be shown with a stone
in his hand, there is no actual proof
that the stone was thrown by that
person. A moving picture camera
would record every movement Of
the throwing, or as the case may
be the striking Of a blow. Experts
are working on a camera of the
baby type which can be carried
easily, worked easily and oper-
ated from a distance.

FRENCHMEN TAKE
LEAVE OF FARMS
Prefer City Life And Are
Turning Over Farms to
the Foreign Element
TOO MUCH POLITICS

Paris.-With a population of 41,-
S34,923, France appears gradually
resigning the problem Of its re-
generation to the foreign element.
who. according to statistics, have
twice as many children as the
French. and who already are taking
over thousands of farms aban-
doned by Frenchmen moving into
the cities.
With an increasing population in
the cities and virtually a station
airy population in the country,
France offers the least encumbered
place in Europe for the neighboring
countries suffering from too much
politics and patriotism.
Spaniards. Italians, Poles, Bel
gians, and even Germans are crowd
ing into France.
Moreover. the French farms,
abandoned by broken French fam
lilies. are being manned by thou
sands of soil loving Italians. In 3S
departments of France there has
been a elimination Of population.
CuriouSly enough. the rich agricul-
tural departments Of the north, in
Brittany. in the Ardennes, il Nor
mandy. and in the regions about
Paris. the population has greatly
diminished. But in many Of these
deserted regions. the foreign pOpu-
lation is noteworthy In the Ar
dennes there are 10000 foreign
ers: Saone ct Loire. g3O00; Gers,
1900: Cote dor, $4,000; Aveyron,
1900; etc.
The population of Paris is 1891,
O20, with 279111 foreigners in
cluded.
The foreigner is welcome if he
submits to French laws and pays
his taxes.
Since 1880, the birth rate among
these foreign elements is two-thirds
compared to one-third native
French.
The best indication that the for
eign element has come to stay is
revealed in the fact that among EN-
ploycrs and rronrietors. there are
14.71a italians. S.4O5 Spaniards.
4.797 Relgians 3.413 Swiss, GIG
Luxemburgers. 41G Germans. and

ian farmers operating properties
