YANKS AND GIANTS
RATED CONTENDERS
Former Figured TO Extend
MaCkmen MCGraWmen
LukeWarm Second Choices.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

n IEw YORK, April Eff 81 Of the
M Nations base ball writer's can't
be wrong, only the st. Louis
Cardinals and the New York
Giants of the National League, and the
Philadelphia Athletics and New York
Yankees of the American, figure to have
any chance OF participating in the world
series in October.
Briefly, the experts, casting ballots in
the Associated Press sixth annual
major league pennsnt poll, pick the
Cardinals and Athletics to repeat, with
the Yankees strong second choices IN
the American League and the Giants
lukewarm alternates in the National.
If the consensus is right the clubs will
finish this way:
Nationalist. Louis, New York,
Chicago, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati. Boston.
American-PhiladeIph New York,
Washington, Cleveland, Detroit, st.
Louis, Boston, Chicago.
The poll indicated strong faith in the
ability of the Cardinals to win the Ma
tional League crown for the third wear
IN a row. Forty-eight writers we're con-
tent to strong along with the world
champions, while IS picked the Giants.
Thus these two clubs accounted for SO
first place ballots. OF the other four,
three went to the Cubs and one, believe
1t or not, to the improved Phillies.
IN the American League the battle of
L ballots was much closer. Sixty-six
OF the 81 first-place votes went either
to the Athletics or the Yankees, the
final count standing 38 for the AS and
% for Joe McCarthy's men. The only
other flrst-place ballot was cast for the
Cleveland Indians.
Although the experts had little trou-
BILE picking the leaders, they ran into
all kinds of difficulties in trying to rate
,he other members of each league. Par
ticularly was this true in the National,
where Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati and Boston all received
votes for the doubtful distinction OF
finishing in last place. Brooklyn polled
2 votes for that post, Pittsburgh T.,
Philadelphia IS, Cincinnati 10 and BoS-
ton "a.
On the other hand. the Phillies re-
ceived one vote for first place and one
for third; Brooklyn polled one vote for
second place. as did Cincinnati. One
writer thought the Pirates would finish
as high as third.
The voting was close for the last four
positions in the American League, but
none of the four trailerSrDetroit, St.
Louis, Boston or Chicago-received votes
for any position higher than fourth.

ALASKA COLLEGE OFFERS
 SPECIAL MINING COURSE

For the past ten years the Alaska College has offered special short course, of ten weeks duration, for the prospeetor and small mine op- orator. This work is of a very prac- tical nature and the College bends every effort to make the training of much value to the man in the hills. An average of 20 to 25 men take this work each winter. For the most part these are men who have had mining experience and many of them travel hundreds of miles to reach the College for this work.
 There is no magic about the train ing-no inducement is held out that this work will enable a man to go out into the hills and within a weeks time discover a valuable

ATTU BASKETS MADE
 BY FEW OLD WEAVERS

Mrs. Ella D. Smith spoke on Alas ka Native Art recently at a program presented by the Fine Arts Depart ment of the Cordova Women's Club. Mrs. Smith spent two years at Atka where a few weavers still made the finest grass thread baskets using
 traditional designs. She told of the harvesting of the tall beach grass and its careful preparation, of the search for the plants and lichens that yield lasting dyes; of the hon ored weavers, waited upon hand and foot that they may not lose precious moments from their art; of the dark stuffy barabaras, where the weavers sit long hours at their task, their novels heated by a small fire tended by a person whose sole duty is to twist the fuel grass and feed it to the flame as needed; of how the weavers strive to express by color and design the beauty of the sunset and sea. The delicate Attu baskets, which represent so much labor, skill and time, are no longer made except by a few isolated old weavers, and their market value has risen greatly. Perhaps it is as well, for a woman's s years of toll and death of tubercu- losis from the confining nature of the craft may be represented by a few small pieces from her hands.

WISE GOLD SEEKER WILL
 SEARCH FOR A BATHOLITH

The source of most of the world s gold was explained by Professor w. H. Emmons of the University of the University of Minnesota at a recent meeting of the American In- stitute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers The wise gold seeker, he said, instead of prospecting with pick, pan and pinto, will seek out a batholith.
 These are immense geological for nations of granite, "the remaining portions of the great deep-seated bodies that slope outward as very irregular roofs, but extend down. ward to great depths. Some of these are scores or hundreds of miles across" Seeking gold from bath oliths is strictly business occupa- tion, he said. That is where most of the present great lodes lie, In Cana da, southern Rhodesia, Siberia, and western Australia.
 Long ago these batholiths pushed upward, their progress accompanied with volcanic heat which melted their rising roofs and burned through the upper rocks with vol canic action. With this rise came the gold. Today it lies, not in the gran ite, but nearby, usually in the rocks through which the granite pushed. Rich deposits of gold are frequently from a few miles of these granite outcrops.
 Tt is is believed" he said, that the mineral bearing fluids rose to the top of the cooling batholith where the rock was not completely solid"

The American Bar Association, with an attendance of several thou sand members from all sections of the United States, was in session in Washington last week. It was the occasion of many important and im- pressive functions, that included the pubic welcoming speech by Presi- den Hoover at Constitution Hall, the laying of the cornerstone of the magnificent $S,O0O,OOO Temple of Justice, and a night reception at the White House attended by nearly o,vOO persons. Although Alaska has a membership in the Association tnefe were no delegates present at the annual meeting. In the selection of the 54 members of the General Council A. J. Dimond, of Valdez, was named for Alaska. the position usually rotating among the member ship.

mineral deposit. But there Is a bona fide inducement in the fact that the work will greatly increase a mans effectiveness in the hills through opening his eyes to new possibilities and new methods of attack. Thus his chances for success in prospect ing or mining are multiplied many times.
 The work is covered by training in geology applied to prospecting, mineralogy, methods of treating diff ferent ores, opening up and equip ping the small mine or prospect, fire assaying for gold and silver, repair and maintenance of gas en- zines, etc. The total cost of the course is about $25.00. The men may secure cabins in Fairbanks or stop at the College dormitory where board and room can be secured for S55.00 per month.
 Those travelling to the College via the Alaska Railroad should se- cure a receipt when they purchase their railroad ticket. This receipt entities them to a free return trip over the railroad for a period of 10 days after the course is completed. The mining short course opens this year on November 18th.

When Commissioner of Fisheries, O'Malley decided last December to recommend that commercial fishing .e allowed in the waters 300 yards outside the mouth of the Yukon river. The seasons report indicates that but 4.767 king salmon were caught at the mouth of the river, by Alaskans, and that they were mild cured and shipped to Seattle. The Bureau has received further report indicating that the catch of salmon on the Yukon and Panama rvers the past season was the best ever known. It is stated that resi- dents along the rivers have been able to buy dried fish for from four to five cents a pound and in some instances they were sold for three cents. While the order was eXperi- mental it is said that there is now no objection to it's continuance.

There may be little delay occa- stoned in starting the preliminaries for the construction of the Ketchi- kan federal building from the fact that private architects are seeking selection in the preparation of plans and specifications. N. Lester Troast has wired the Treasury Department from Wrangell asking that he be made architect. He is an employe of the Department of Indian Affairs and designed many of the school buildings in Alaska as well as the Institute at Wrangell, Col. Eric Fisher Wood, of the firm of Horn bostel and Wood, Pittsburgh, was in the city two days ago conferring with the Treasury Department. Col. Wood has been in Alaska and drew the plans for the proposed William Henry Seward Memorial, to be erect ed at Seward at a cost of $4OO, ,0OO. The Supervising Architect informed the Delegates office that the private applications would be looked into and that it would be November be- fore any decision was made in the matter. The influence of the Interior Department and the Department of Justice is being brought to bear on the Treasury Department to induce the further selection of Anchorage for federal building under the re. lief act, as there is still over five million dollars not yet apportioned

The Geological Survey has just issued a Bulletin entitled "The Ia tonduk-Nation district, Alaska" by J. B. Mertie, Jr., which is an initial step toward the future mapping of this Yukon-Porcupine region. As yet many geological problems that have direct bearing upon the mineral deposits of the Yukon-Tanana region remain unsolved, because the min- eral country rock in that region is so greatly metamorphosed as to ob- scure or destroy the necessary evil dence.
