One of the old pioneers of Alas ka who is now living in the East wrote an interesting letter to the Delegate the other day and sent him a sample of presumably rich ore. stating among other things: This ore comes from Alaska and from place where the prospector has not as yet ventured. It looks like real find. I am gathering all data concerning this district and if all turns out as it is expect ed we will have another Klondike which will help end the depression. As soon as weather will permit an outfit of men who are seasoned prospectors will be sent in." This sounded so interesting that the ore was analysed, and alas! was found t contain only metallic lead, which cannot be prof1tably devel- oped

An airplane company has Writ ten the Delegate to ascertain why that company is not given an op- portunity to bid for carrying the mail this season between Nenana Holy Cross and St. Michael. As sistant Postmaster General Glover explains the reason thusly: Ser vice on the Yukon river in summer is required by steam or other pow CT boats and is paid for out of the appropriation covering that class of service. Mails carried by any other means could not be properly paid for. During the investigation of the service to be provided the coming season it developed that the only suitable boats available are those operated by the Alaska Railroad. A satisfactory rate was secured for carrying the mails by such boats and the contract was awarded

Further developments in connec- tion with the second scientific ex- petition into Mt. Mckinley Na- tional Park reveals that it is for the purpose of unlocking the secrets of the coSmic ray.
 The idea is that the investigators are making an effort to find out what the cosmic ray consists of and whence it comes, and if we have it.
 It is believed now that this cos mic ray is the handspring that makes the wheels go round and the universe to turn over. Likely points for finding the cosmic ray are believed to exist in Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Peru and Mexico. To all these points searching parties have been sent this year. Twenty-Five thou sand dollars is said to be the amount being expended in the in- vestigation.

In compliance with the desire of the people of Homer and Seldovia, an effort was made to secure more direct communication between those stations. But that the gov- ernment will furnish this service does not seem likely, after an in- vestigation by Major General IT, wing J. Carr, chief Signal officer of the army. He says: Tt does not appear that there is sufficient possible revenue at Homer to pay for the establishment of a Signal Corps radio station at that place, and that there is no surplus deep sea Cable suitable for the install latiOn of a telephone circuit be- tween Homer and Seldovia. Even should suitable cable be available the cost of such an installation, to- gether with suitable repeaters and auxiliary equipment would far ex- ceed the expenditure necessary for the esta blishment of a satisfactory radio station.

Delegate Wickersham has asked the Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Hyde as to what support he could get from the department in urging a deficiency appropriation bill for the maintenance of the Matanuska experiment station. The secretary takes the view that ''it would hard ly be consistent to request the Bu- reau of the Budget to approve an estimate for a deficiency appropri- ation for continuing the work of the Matanuska station without making similar requests for nu- merouS other meitorious projects" !" As to the disposition of the experi- ment stations it is expected that the agricultural appropriation bill now in conference will authorize the transfer of the prope(ty to some government department or local institutions. The secretary says: There have been several requests for the Matanuska sta tion. If authority is granted for the disposal of the property first consideration naturally will be giv- en to the needs of governmental agencies such as the Alaska College of Agriculture and School of Mines, the Alaska Railroad and the h. dian school at Eklutna, all of which have applied for the property"

Although expected here some days ago none of the park dog teams have returned to headquar- ters. The teams were engaged in freighting the Albert D. Lindley mountain climbers supplies. The surmise is that the going was bad and that it took more time than was expected; another surmise is that the going was better than ex- pected and the teams were found useful in moving supplies above the first base camp.
