CUSTER SCENE
 VETERAN DEAD

Colorado Springs-(UP)-An- other pioneer of the Pike's Peak bregion, who made history in the old west. has passed.
 Charles Nisar, who was a mem- Der of the first army unit to reach the scene of the Custer massacre died here. He was 83.
 Nisar's company, Company l, ot the 27th Infantry, arrived at the bloody spot on the Little Big Horn, in Montana, in 1876, just a short time after General Custer and his command had been slain by the Indians.
 The sight that greeted the sol diers was horrible one. Every dead soldier save Custer, Nisar said, had been ,scalped by the Sioux and the .Cheyennes, who joined to complete the greatest military tragedy of the age in this country.
 Nisar, in his stories of the mas- ascre, always said he believed that a lack of caution on the part of Custer himself. was one of the causes of the massacre.
 Nisar himself was wounded sev- eral times by Indians, and bore the scars of their tomahawks to his grave.
 He was sborn in Germany, but came to the United States as a youth,

UNCLE SAMS
 NEW TAXES
WHERE THEY HIT YOU-AND HOW

Are you an outdoor sportsman who likes the woods and waters?
 Hunter or fisherman or yachtsman. you must now pay tax to Uncle Sam to help him balance his budget under the new 1882 revenue law.
 There is now 10 per cent sales tax on firearms and all ammunition, 10 per cent tax on fishing equipment of all kinds (except that used by com mercial fishermen in the con- duct of their ,business). If you use boat more than 28 feet long. you must now pay a tax Of so much per year for THE USE of said boat; if you had rather be economical and paddle your own canoe, you will find a 10 per cent federal tax on canoe paddles.
 Except for the tax on the use of boats, all these taxes are manufatcurers' excise taxes which the manufacturer adds to his sale price and which are usually passed on to the ulti- mate purchaser. The annual license tax on boats is $10 on those of from 28 to 50 feet in length. $40 on those from 50 to 100 feet, $100 from 100 to 150 feet, $10 from 15O to 200 feet, $200

ISKA COLD WILL PROVE MAGNET F0R
 FORTUNE SEEKERS

This is going to be a banner year for Alaska, with an unusually heavy migration this spring." said William J. Porter of the Paulson- Porter Company. Eighty years ago, during a similarly prolonged period of business depressions, the land of gold an opportunity was California. Today it is Alaska. Rich and poor are now Hooking lere to win gold for themselves, the former by means of dredges n d large-scale hydraulic operations and the latter by hand labor on claims of their own locating.
 Since 1880 Alaska has yielded, according to government statistics, more than $4OO,OO0,OO0, an annual average of about s8,OOO,OOO Last years output was $10,000,000 and this year it will greatly exceed that figure
 Most of the gold now comes from the Yukon region, centering around Fairbanks, and the Sew ard Peninsula region around Nome. Dredges account for most of the output from either district, al- though hydraulic operations con- tribute an important total while primitive hand methods still yield I inlpressively large volume in
 aggregate.
 The U. s. Geologica Sur
 y in recent bulletin, says that
 though output between 1904 and
 30 totaled s8O,OOOOoO in the Fair
 .nks region, an even grea ter mount is likely to be recovered rom the same area in the next 25 years by dredges and other mech nical devices, reworking the same

streams and others that could not be worked by hand methods.
 "The biggest producer in the Seward peninsula region is the Hammon Consolidated Goldfields at Nome, but the area from which is expected the greatest propor- tionate increase in gold production this year is the Kougarok, about 100 miles north and east of No m e. While the Kougarok is a shorter river than the Iditarod, the Kusko- kwim or the mighty Yukon, it has an unusually good production rec ord. During the last 12 years with only one dredge in operation, out put is conservatively estimated at $4,OOO,OO0, largely obtained by pri- mitive hand methods. The pay streak along the Kougarok and one of its tributaries, Henry creek, is consistent and continuous, with values over considerable areas run ming as high as $9 to the cubic yard.
 Like many another area in the Seward peninsula region, the Kou- garok contains much virgin terri tory that will today pay good wages to willing and intelligent workers. Such men need only enough capi- tai to get them to the scene of op- erations early in the season with an adequate grub stake and tools.

EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
HIT IN WORLD REVIEW
Banking Firm Holds Removal Is
Essential to a Restoration
of Trade.
Ru thn Assnciated press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 10.-In a
review of international conditions, is
sued today, the banking firm of J.
Henry Schroeder & Co., expresses the
opinion that removal Of exchange re-
strictions, now operative in about 35
countries, is essential for restoration
of trade.
Pointing out that the problem should
be solved by the forthcoming World
Economic Conference, the review raises
the point that if credits could be
granted by a consortium Of central
banks, for the purpose Of freeing trade
from exchange restrictions, their use
could not fail to stimulate trade and
their general and concerted adoption
would rob them of the terrors still
reused on the continent and elsewhere
by the recollections of the fate of the
German mark and the Austrian crown
in the period of unreStrained imitation" :"
Exchange restrictions" it is added,
while imposed in order to give an
artificial appearance of strength to the
currencies of the countries that indulge
them, are quite ineffective from this
point of view because they deceive no
body, but are most unfortunately ef-
fective in checking trade and making
all economic intercourse difficult"
Whether removal of restrictions Of
monetary transfers can be carried out
by a process of devaluation of curren-
cies, or by provision Of credits by the
chief central banks, the review holds
that drastic steps to correct the situa-
ton are necessary.
