LARGE MINING DEAL
 INVOLVES THE MATz
 PROPERTY MOOSE PASS

The largest mining deal to have been transacted in this district in years was completed Tuesday when w. H. Wilson, prominent business man of Juneau, J. B. Johnson, en- gineer, and associates, purchased the placer property of Fred Matz, pioneer mining man at Moose Pass. The sum involved was not disclos- ed.
 The property, a mile long on Mills creek, has long been regarded as one of the best in the Pass region, has been worked only on small scale by Mr. Matz, but it is the in- tent of the new owners, to carry forward extensive prospecting this summer and in the spring, and open with a large hydraulic plant.
 MT. Wilson is president of the Alaska Laundry, at Juneau, $75,- 900 corporation, and which is de- clared to be the most modernly equipped laundry, for it's size, on the Pacific coast His associates in this concern are J. s. McKinnon, general manager, and Chas. E. Ma gle, secretary and treasurer.
 MT. Johnson, has long been ac- tive in the Interior mining enter prises, and until some years ago, Mr. Wilson, also, mined in prac- tically all the famous Interior camps. He is also interested in a number of quartz properties in Southeastern Alaska and, if time permits, intends to visit Nuka bay for brief inspection trip. Both MT. Wilson and MT. Johnson leave on Thursday for their newly acquired ground in the Pass country where another week will be spent. Mr. Wilson then returns to Seward, Engineer Johnson remaining on the ground to start work.
 MT. Matz has the privilege of re- maining on the ground, if he so chooses and, in all probability will, for he has little desire to reside on his big ranch near Tacoma. How ever, he may take a trip to the States next winter, he said.

G0v, BYRD |s OFFERED DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS
 CANDIDATE PRESIDENT

CHICAGO, June 29. (4o) Harry Flood Byrd, of Virginia, was offer ed to the Democratic party as a candidate for president by Sena- tor Carter Glass, who in eloquent terms, stated that Byrd, as gover- nor of Virginia had made a record which has never been surpassed in thc entire history of the state. What Byrd did for Virginia he can do for the country if he is nominat- ed and elected.
 Senator Glass remininSced his tory by his statements asking that the party give man who dares" a chance, and he illustrated his plea by such striking personalities as Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry, who once virtually faced a sentence of death by shooting.
 Following the placing of Byrd's name in nomination overnor Joseph Ely, of Massachusetts, plac- ed the name of Alfred E. Smith in nomination. Smith was the Happy Warrior" candidate of the party in 1928 Gov. Ely said that Smith was modern Andrew Jackson, a pos itive, virile, straight speaking and plain speakink statesman, and even his enemies recognize the compar- ison."
 Ely also said that every editor ial writer in the United St a e acclaims the sterl ng qualities of Smith personality and the great constitutional lawyers of this day acknowledge his divine gift of government

RENO, Nev., June 29, The "bat- tie of the daffy dills," bringing to- gether Max Baer of Livermore, and King Levinsky of Chicago, for 20 rounds or less on July 4th and to be staged in Jack Dempsey's arena, is getting daffier every minute.
 When the match was made sever al weeks ago and until today, Baer was unfit to be hailed as a favorite in the betting. Now, for no reason whatever, unless it was the selec- tion of George Blake as referee by Leonard Sacks, on Monday, the odds fluctuated in a sensational manner on the blackboard in a big gambling house on which appears an announcement that there is money for Levinsky at six to five.

Scandal For Sale" This red-blood-
ed Universal drama, by a newspa-
per editor, opened an engagement
at the Warner State theater today
and was revealed as fast moving
screen play filled with action and
interesting situations.
Though Scandal For Sale" does
not pretend to present q picture Of
typical newspaper life, the story
deals with the stormy career of one
man who finds himself directing the
destinies of a New York paper, and
who embarks on a reckless course
of sensationalism for the avowed
purpose of adding to the circulation
Of the daily. He becomes a ruthless
scandalmo nger, who will go to any
length to secure or manufacture
sensational STORY for his pa
per, and even his own associates
turn away from him before a ter
rible tragedy brings him to his
senses. The story is by Emile Gauv-
reau and contains many incidents
from his book Hot News In which
he found surcease from the nau-
seating demands by gossip loving
circulation manager.
The virile Charles Bickford is
magnificent as the scandal seeking
city editor, and does the best work
of his career. He gives a perfect
characterization as the ruthless,
hard-driving editor. Rose Hobart
is altogether pleasing and capable
as his wife, and Pat O'Brien is a
star reporter ito the life''-friend
and associate of Bickford. in love
with his employers wife and ready
to execute any assignment given to
him by his superior. Others in the
big cast who do good work are
Claudia Dell, Berton Churchill, J.
Farrell Macdonald, Glenda Farrell,
Tully Marshall, Lew Kelly and two
delightful children, Buster Phelps
and Betty Jane Graham.
The "city ROOM of the metropol-
itan newspaper forms the back
ground for much of the action of
the story, and there are many i'm
pressive scenes aboard an airplane
on a transatlantic fight from New
York to Europe, with O'Brien ac-
complaining the pilot in the capac.

Man I Killed"
Pauline Frederick is the third
name in the featured group. She
has been a great favorite with the
movie fans of the nation for many
years-and her star has not waned
in the least with the coming of
talkies. Her most recent personal
triumph was in This Modern
Age"
And then there's the splendid
acting which clinches the promise
that the big, names make. Each
character is a real, distinctly be-
lievable character. The young
wife is the girl you've seen at the
grocer's. The young husband is
the youth who stood UP and gave
lady his seat on the street-car
this afternoon. The meddling
mother-in-law is the woman who
lives in that big house down on

you've rubbed elbows with.

The screen feature picture is
"Girl of the Rio," starring new

first picture after two years of Ill
ness. Dolores Del Rio is re-.
splendent woman, more beautiful
and more graceful than ever.
From the reaction of the specta-
tors it was obvious that the Latin
star had scored sensationally; per-
haps with the best role OF her
career.
Fine Role for Star

The star makes the most of a
role exceptionally full of roman

melodrama. She has, in point Of
fact, attained a striking charac-
terization as vivid and as apt to be
remembered as her role in What
Price Glory?"
Clever Supporting Cast
In support Of the star are two

clustering, vainglorious boaster
which Holbrook Blinn made so ia

Willard Mack. Carrillo's role,
thanks to the able direction of Her.

down to unimportance as COM

The second lead is played well
by Norman Foster, himself a star
on the stage though he is rather
new to the screen. Others cast
are Lucille Gleason, Stanley Fields,
Ralph Ince. Edna Murphy and
Frank Campeau,
