RICH PLACER UNCOVERED
 IN COPPER RIVER VALLEY

The mining outlook in the Copper River Valley is more promising than it has been for several years, re- ports the Cordova Times. A large number of prospectors are in the hills, which is very encouraging. On Dan Creek the Nickolai Placer Mines ran into some rich ground and are reported to have made a good cleanup. The evidence seems to in- dicate that there is years of work ahead on the bench where the new pay was struck. The gravel is a rusty red, better bedded than the creek, and in general seems to ante datn the glacier. When one stops to think that Dan Creek has been work ed continuously for thirty years, and
 this ground only recently uncovered it is more convincing than ever that the real Nizina placer gold has not yet lcen found This is the belief | cf n,any old-time miners working in the interior. Several men are work | i 2 lays on Dan Creek and a 200-ft tunnel is being driven on the Mitch el gold quartz property.

Democrat Nominee
 For Auditor Urges
 Repea. White Law

Frank A. Boyle, of Juneau, the
 Democratic candidate for auditor.
 stated when speaking at the Demo- l cratic rally last night that he had always opposed fish traps and urg-
 ed their entire removal. He also bit terly denounced the provisions of
 the White law which authorized the
 seizure of fishing boats or gear
 without giving the operator an op-
 portunity to defend himself in court
 with the result that in many cases
 the fisherman was forced to plead
 guilty to illegal fishing and pay a
 fine or lose the use of the boat or gear probably during the whole of the fishing season or for a longer period while waiting for his case to come to trial. MT. Boyle stated that after the election of MT. Dimond he would urge that the White Law be amended to allow the fisherman a trial by jury before the boat or gear could be seized
 MT. Boyle stated that he had come to Alaska in 1912 to assist in the adjudication of the Coal Land Fraud cases. Though always a Demo- crat he was first appointed as Re ceiver of the Land Office at Juneau by President Taft. He later was twice reappointed by President Will son, and had a recess appointment by President Harding. In January 1924, he was appointed without his knowledge, to a four-year term, by President Coolidge, but he had all ready sent in his resignation and re- turned to Juneau where he was ap- pointed United States Commissioner by Judge Reed, which position he | held for four years. During the last | two years he has been a member of the territorial legislature. He is now law at Juneau, Alaska.

Republican leadership has been a total failure as far as Alaska is con cerned, Senator Dimond told his audience. It has inflicted on the Territory a series of withdrawals of natural resources, imposed restric- tions upon all forms of endeavor and substituted government of reg ulatlon by Federal authority for one Of local legislation that all other American territories have enjoyed. It has even denied to Alaskans the 'igAt to use natural resources such as other territories have possessed and upon which prosperous common Wealths have been biult, he con tended.
 The Democratic party offers you concrete platform of progressive principles, supported by a united and disciplined party pledged to bring to Alaska the same measure of local self-government upon which 2 pioneer development has been based declared the speaker. What nope have you in a party that has 7iled to accomplish anything, and that today is hopelasslB- md. .rh1roi1y TIT t." he asked.
 Home Rule Defined
 In plain and unmistakable terms Senator Dimond set forth just what the term Home Rule" means that every local community should govern itself and administer it's do- nestle affairs as far as is humanly possible. There are certain activities, such as handling of mail, that are inherently Federal in nature, but the administration of matters which are common only to Alaska ought 1t to be under Federal jurisdiction.
 Two of the major items, fisheries and game, were particularly cited as matters in which Republican leader ship had penalized Alaska In no

DiVen Interested In Preservation Anan'S
 Unique Attractions

Dr. Diven former Wrangell resi- recently from his new home in Flor
 ia where he moved two years ago
 a. l.er spending eighteen years in Al
 l5ka in the service of the Presby-
 lerian National Board, says that he
 .iHd Mrs. Diven are well and that
 he is at work again, this time as
 pastor Of the Sorrento Presbyterian | church.
 He describes Sorrento as a village in a most delightsome area of cen
 tral Florida. There are beautiful or
 ange groves, numerous little hills
 and many attractive lakes. Fall and
 winter gardens are in every stage of
 development from just planted to
 nearly mature" Weather is all that anybody could wish it to be: birds are everywhere making merry; high ways are so alluring on these balmv October mornings, he says, that it IS hard to keep the gasoline bill from assuming alarming proportions. Cen tral Florida, he describes as being a green country all the year round and there is no time when flowers, fruits and vegetables are not avail able from local production.
 pr. Diyen established a summer camp at Anan Creek for the young boys and girls who were members of the Christian Endeavor Society. That he still retains his interest al | Anan is shown by the following ex- cerpts from his letter:
 It gave me much pleasure to read | in the Sentinel of September the twenty-third, that Mr. Stewart Ed ward White is advocating the pres eryation of Anan's natural advan- ages and charms. Wrangell people will remember how I used to marvel It the peoples indifference to such spot, where in a few hours the ravelle: can acquire more first-hand 'i' ''i -'''tbIOA eRilll SGG HUI DcdIS lIdD | in any other spot I know of so cas- fly accessible from so good a stop ping plae e as Wrangell.

There were sixteen girls there that sum- mer and they were maintaining an unusally orderly state of affairs around the place. They had lost their fear of the wild animals, and were making commendable progress in their observations of both animal and bird life, as well as of the sal mon Mr. Gray was giving us some very interesting talks along such lines, in the evenings
 We'll this chap, whose name l never learned, took walk up the creek, alone. My girls were down the shore in the opposite direction. In less than an hour the gentleman re- turned, strode over to the camp, where I was just then preparing some wood for an evening fire, and rather indifferently inquired, What sort of hangout is this?" I briefly | told him what it was, and it's pur- pose. A sickly smile was his only | sign that the facts had registered. Then he livened up a bit and said: | Well, Il allow this is the greatest | place to see bears I've ever been in. I shot four in less than thirty l minutes. up there on the creek!" |
