WILLOW CREEK.
MINING Field
STUDY IS MADE
/ R abroad Funds
UsedAin Investigation,
Mineral Belt

The Alaska Railroad announc-
es the completion of a field study
of the region north of and adjacent
Ito the Willow Creek gold lode dis
trict. The expedition, financed by
/ the Railroad from funds approp-
; rated in 1881 for the iriyestiga-
ton of the mineral resources OF
the railroad belt, was carried out
in cooperation with the U. s.
Geological Survey, S. R. capps, Of
the Survey being associated with
Ralph Tuck, Geologist of the Rail
road. The party equipped with
pack horses and two camp hands,
left Craigie Creek in early July
and returned by way of Caswell
on the Alaska Railroad.
Gold Lodes Traced
1t has been recognized that the
developed gold lodes of the VIII
low Greek district occur in a raIil-
er narrow belt that runs from the
vicinity of the Lucky Shot mine
northsastward Any extension of
this belt to the north and east
should include the headward ba-
sins of Punches, Peters and Little
Willow Greeks and Kashwitan
Rivers and it was those basins
that received special attention. All
of them are fairly inaccessible from
the Railroad and the development
of mines there would be faced
by no serious physical difficulties
of transportation. \
Quartz Diorite
The entire area examined is
occupied by the great bathylith
of granite rocks, chiefly quartz
diorite, that forms the major
portion of the Talkeetna Noun
tainss. All of the producing 1odes
of the Willow Greek district are
quartz veins that occur in this
diorite. There is reason to be-
lieve that other gold-bearing lodes
should occur outside of the rather
restricted area that has SO far
been productive. s.r.,
$50 Bull" Quartz ~
In all of the basins listed above
there are localities in which quartz
float is abundant. Much of this
quartz is, however, CLASSY in APP
pearance, contains little evidence
of naturalization, is related to
pegmatic veins, and is what is
commonly known as bull quartz. +"
In addition to this barren quartz
there are, however, veins of a diff
ferent character. These veins ,sre
less CLASSY, carry sulfites of 1ifon
and copper, and offer much great
er possibilities of containing gold
in commercial quantities. In the
present investigation only field
methods of testing these veins
! were used, and the assay returns
from samples collected have not
been received, nor has the micro
scopic office examination been
made. A more complete report on
the findings OF the expedition will
be issued when these studies have
been completed, but it is believed
that the upper basins of the
streams named deserve much more
careful prospecting than they have
so far received, and that there
is a reasonable hope that lodes
comparable in value to those in
the Willow Greek district will be
found in them.

clines to meet another, it is then

of a tie there, the one boasting

that neither of the two organizations
is in favor of opening unsound banks.
But both recognize that bank deposits
constitute the Nations important me-
dunn of exchange and that restoration
of prosperity is dependent largely upor:
releasing the purchasing power which
remains paralyzed in some 5000 closed
banks, with deposits approximating
$4,000, 900 000"
The National Depositors' Committee

MITCHELL MOTION
DENIED BY JUDGE
Arguments Begin With Case
Likely to Go to Jury
Wednesday.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June ia defense
motion to dismiss the indictment charg-
ing Charles E. Mitchell, former head
Of the National City Bank with de-
frauding the Government of more than
$3.50, 900 in income taxes, was dismissed
today by Federal Judge Henry W. God
dard as the trial Of the banker entered
its final stages.
After his motion to dismisI the in
dictment had been denied, Max D.
Steuer, Mitche0S chief counsel, began
his summation, which was expected to
last throughout the day.
George z. Medalie, Federal prosecu-
tor, will sum up for the Government
tomorrow and the case is expected to
80 to the jury Wednesday Taking of
testimony, which had been in progress
more than a month, was completed
last Thursday with former Gov. Alfred
E. Smith testifying as to Mitchell's
reputation and character, which, he
said, he believed to be excellent.
Speaking in low tones, Steuer re-
viewed Mitchell's purchase on October
20, 1929. Of 28,300 shares Of National
City Bank stock to keep the price up
and relieve the National City Co, which
had bought heavily Of the stock, of an
embarrassing situation.
Denying Mitchell in buying the stock
was guilty of the Sordid motives, :"
which he said the Government had
attributed to him. Steuer said:
There isn't anybody who can so
read the law as to say that, no mat
ter how man may acquire stock, he
,ate all 10 IL
income tax return, provided there is
an actual sale and an actual loss"
Steuer added there were only two
exceptions-'if he buys the stock within
80 days before the sale, or buys it
back within 80 days after the sale" +"
Nobody disputed Mr.. Mitchell paid
for those 28,300 shares at 1857 share -
Steuer said. Nobody disputes he sold
it for 1925. Is there the slightest
doubt in any ones mind that he had
suffered loss Of $l42 a share on that
StOck?"

TINKHAM ASKS RECALL.
Makes Official Demand in Talk With
Phillips.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Tinkham, Republican
Massachusetts, said today he had of
ficially demanded" at a conference yes
terday with Acting Secretary of State
Phillips, the recall Of Norman H. Davis
as envoy to the World Economic and
Disarmament Conferences.
Tinkham said he told Phillips that
unless Davis were recalled, he would
press for action at the next session OF
Congress on his resolution directing the
President to recall him. The resolution
was the last introduced at the special
session.
Davis prepared to sail for the United
States today from London, asserting
emphatically that he had not resigned
and did not intend to.
Il pointed out to Mr.. Phillips" said
Tinkham in his statement, 'the high
improperly in his DavisD appointment
by President Hoover and by President
Roosevelt as representative of the
United States abroad, particularly in
such negotiations as the ones upon
which he is now engaged, and official
ly demanded his recall"
The Massachusetts, Republican, who
denounced Davis on the floor of the
House twice, said he presented to Phil
lips various charges he had voiced pre-
viously against Davis
In my opinion he said, "this record
dsqualiiies Mr.. Davis for appointment
or commission as representative of the
United States in any capacity, particu-
larly in his present capacity as chair
man of the American delegation to the
General Disarmament Conference with
the personal rank of ambassador, and
as a member of the Organizing Com
mittee of the Economic Conference at
Geneva and London. where he Is pro-
posing the surrender of American SOW
ereignty, American independence and
American freedom of the seas, and the
supervision of American defense by
Europe"
Tinkham said he reminded Phillips
that Davis appeared several times on
favored" lists of J. P. Morgan & Co.
In the recent investigation by the
Senate Banking Currency Committee,
that Davis for several years had partly
unliquidated loan with the Morgan firm,
and that in an opinion of the Court of
Appeals of the District. of Columbia in
the case of Las Ovas Co., Inc, VS..
Davis, the court found Davis had not
acted in good faith and had violated a
f1duciary relationship in the taking of
certain profits.
