Free Medical Aid For
 Local War Veterans

Free local medical aid for American war veterans and American Legion members be- came assured last week as a result of arrangements conclud- ed between the U. s. Veterans Bureau and Dr. J. w. Vos- burgh, Stewart physician.
 In addition to making free examinations for hospitaliza- tion, thereby relieving veterans of the prior necessity of going to Ketchikan, Dr. Vosburgh will also give free medical aid locally to exsoldiers who do not require hospital treatment.
 Confirming the announce ment to the Herald, Dr. Vos- burgh said he will do every thing he can for veterans who may require his services.
 The successful conclusion of this arrangement is due entire ly to long continued efforts of local members of the Americt n Legion, assisted by the officials of the Ketchikan Legion post, and will be of inestimable ben eft to veterans in need of med ical aid.

SAYS CONFERENCE
 MAY AID SILVER

Although the number of gold deposits increased by 75 per cent in the United States as compared with last year, the volume of the metal deposited is hardly 10 per cent greater this year, according to a recent statement by Robert J. Grant, director of the United States hints. MT. Grant said that placer mining is probably re- sponsible for 60 per cent of this increase in the amount of gold received. The rest is due in his opinion to sales of old gold rings and ornaments by people who are getting hard up.
 The three gold producing countries will show an increase in gold output this year, Grant said. Canada will have the greatest increase and will be ahead of the United States. South Africa, which produces half of the worlds gold, will net show any marked increase.
 Referring to the projected international silver conference, Grant said it cannot do any harm and probably will do some good if all the countries respond. Silver prices are much lower now than they should be, Grant asserted.
