WEALTHY SOCIETY
MATRON OBJECT OFF
WIDESPREAD SEARCH
Wife Of Eliot Schaffner, Cloth.
ing Manufacturer, Disap.
pears During Night

Carmel, Calf, Dec. l9.-(R-The
rugged country and beaches around
Carmel were searched Wednesday for
Mrs. Eliot Boke schaffner, 39-year-
old member Of the wealthy clothing
family.
Apparently clad only in nightgown,
bedroom slippers ana fur coat, she
disappeared between midnight and
dawn Tuesday from her isolated home
on the southern tip Of this artists
village.
Released only Monday from Mon
terey hospital where she was taken
ten days ago for rest, fears were felt
Mrs. Schaffner may have wandered
into the ocean surf Of Carmel bay
or into the tidal mouth Of the Carmel
river, both close to her home.
After day Of secret though inten-
sive search by the village police, blood
hounds were brought by airplane from
Berkeley to Monterey county during
the night to join the hunt for the
missing woman.
Her husband, Joseph H. schaffner,
a director Of Hart, Schaffner and
Marx, was flying to Carmel from
Chicago. The socially prominent cou-
pie divided their time between New
York. Chicago, Carmel and San Fran
cisco, 135 miles north OF here.
Her sister, Mrs. Marion Todd Of
San Francisco, early Wednesday
morning reached the Carmel home
from which the search Is being d.
rected.
Like attendants at the hospital
where Mrs. Schaffner was recently
confined, Mrs. Todd refused to discuss
her sisters illness.
Mrs. Schaffners disappearance was
discovered Tuesday morning when q
maid brought breakfast to her room
only to find it deserted. A careful
check Of Mrs. schaffner,s wardrobe
disclosed she stopped only long enough
to slip on slippers and pull fur coat
over her nightgown.
She may easily have wandered down
to the rocky, precipitous beach where
Carmel artists frequently paint white
capped beach scenes or expresses
twisted half out Of shape by the con-
slant wind. The treacherous tides
which sweep into the mouth Of slug
gish Carmel river were close.
A third possibility was that she had
crossed fields bordering her home into
the wide stretches Of open country.
All three Of these were checked as
thoroughly as police could with a
secretly arranged group Of searchers.
Finding no trace of the missing wom-
an, Police Chief Gus Englund called
upon Berkeley officers to rush blood
hounds here In the hope they could
lead searchers over the trail followed
by Mrs. Schaffner. They were brought
by airplane to Salinas, 40 miles away,
where they were held until dawn.
Mrs. Schaffner, daughter Of the late
Prof. George Boke. former dean Of
the University Of California law
school, was alone In her isolated home
except for her two-year-old daughter
and servants.

one bill, designed to mobilize all ma

Wilson, Fairbanks Co.
 Opens Juneau Branch

Firm in the belief that Alaska offers a great field for future de- yelopment of mines and mining, the Wilson Fairbanks and company, brokerage firm of Seattle, will open an office in Juneau on Tuesday, De- cember II. This office will take care of all Alaska. Clifford F. Cor man, former cannery man, steam ship company official and now con- nected with the Wilson-Fairbanks company, made the announcement.
 "The decision to locate here was not reached until after careful con sideration and close survey of the field in question" said German. While the company will conduct a general brokerage business with complete facilities, including con tinuous quotations, board room and statistical department, We will specialize in those issues whose chief purpose is the development of Alaska. We believe there are in the making, properties that will out rival Alaska Juneau, Kennecott and others.
 ''The heads of our firm who made a close survey of the territory be- fore deciding to open branch of flee in Juneau, were particularly impressed with Nabesna and Brem- ner which they believe is destined to exceed all expectations. The freighting of the machinery into Bremner is going ahead in good shape. Progress of the erection of the mill will depend only on wea- ther conditions as the groundwork has already been laid for rapid achievement and production next spring."
 German was formerly associated with his father in the German and Company canneries of Kasaan, Sha- kan and Yakutat. Later on he was with the Alaska Steamship com pany, afterward going to Shanghai, there to become agent for one of the large transPacific steamship organizations. During the past ten years, he has been in New York and Seattle, associated with member houses of the New York Stock Ex- change.

GAME WEALTH
 VALUED AT S93,000.000

The total capital resouce value of all fur. game and wild bird life in Alaska. was found to reach S93.- 000,000. at conservative figure. in the survey recently completed in the Juneau office headquarters of Hugh W. Terhune, chief represen- tative of the Biological Survey resident in Alaska, and executive offer of the Alaska Game Commis- sion.
 Few realize the importance of this great capital investment in the Territory states Mir. Terhune and that it must be taken care of, as the actual cash realization is about s3.300,O00 per year to the Territory, and such an income can- not afford to be overlooked.
 This s93.0O0.000 includes s35,- O00.000 for fur animals s31. .000.- 900 for big game, and s27.000, 900 for wild birds.

 Operates rlOaung OlIlCe

The motorship Hiawatha, Whiea entered Alaskan waters last May. as a floating office for the Singer sewing Machine company, arrived in Nrangen Wednesday with j. IL. Anderson. office manager, and Mrs. Anderson aboard.
 The Hiawatha is S7 feet long, powered with a 100 h.p. Diesel Durham engine. She was formerly a yacht belonging to the Rainier Brewing company, and is fitted up very nicely. It has steam heat sup piled by an oil burning furnace. a dining saloon, tiled bathroom. modern kitchen arrangements i'll the galley, and in all ways is most comfortable craft.
 This is the first year the Singer company has operated in Alaska. In order To serve the Territory, all coast operations from ketchikan To Kodiak, are carried on aboard the boat, Anderson merely shifting of- flee from one locality to another. The population of Alaska Is too scattered for the company to main tain an office in each town so IL devised this plan to serve the ter ritory.
 The Hiawatha is tied up at the city float back of the breakwater. Mir. Anderson uses a motorcycle to get about while in town. Inciden- tally, his motorcycle is the second ever brought to Wrangel and the first one here since Dr. Clark moved away some eight or nine years ago.

grade showing. and feel that when We have done that we will be in much better position to pass on the value of the find.
 "Of course. there have been lots of stories about what we have in there. Some of them are true and some naturally exaggerated. The entire country is hungry for gold. and is eager to jump at conclusions when something new is reported. \ number of well-known mining men have visited the showing this fall, among. them MT Livingston Wer- necke of the Bradley forces at Ju- neau Hr. Wernecke was interested in our" find and advised that we do some underground work as soon as possible to demonstrate the extent and value of the showing, and this is just what we want to do.
 Many Claims Stakad
 Tn the late fall rush I estimate that there were more than 200 claims staked in that section. Judg- ing from what I know of the kind of men who staked. I believe that there will be considerable work done there in the spring, and know ing the country as I do I feel safe in saying that they will uncover something worth while.
 You know. like said before. prospeetors have felt that where so much placer gold had been found there was bound to be some lode gold. By spring we should know a lot more as to what we have. and one thing I don't want to do. and that is start a stampede It's not an easy country to get into except with a flying machine; grub is scarce, and there is not a great deal of meat in the hills.
 "The pick of the ground has naturally been staked. and while there is a big country back of Dease lake, a man has to be able to find his way around, and it's not an attractive proposition for a Che chaco."
 Warrants no Stampede
 Nard Lynch Callison is an old timer in the North Together with his father and brother. he has been prospecting, freighting. packing and trapping all the way from the Peace River Block to Dease lake since childhood days. He is not at all ex- cited over his find. but is sincere in the belief that he at last has located something that will stand development, and that is just what he proposes to do with it this win ter. By spring, or by the time when the country is in better climatic condition for travelling or living in, he will know a great deal more. and then if the showing is standing up under development. will be ample time for any rush from the Outside that the findings may warrant.

Lynch Callison. original locator of the recent quartz find on Me Danes creek, in the Cassiar section of British Columbia, arrived in Se- attle last week and is a guest at the Moore hotel, according to the Alaska Weekly.
 There has been so much contrO- versy over the value or authenticity of the find that the Alaska Weekly welcomed the opportunity of get ting firsthand information on the matter. When seen at the Moore Callison said:
 We made this find last summer early and staked Il claims on tri- -butary to Quartz creek. just below the Wing hydraulic mine. in July When We made our recording and took out some samples of the ore naturally it caused considerable ex- citement in that country, as most of the mining men who have been prospecting in the Cassiar for the past dozen years figured that the gold must have a source and that if they could find that source they would have something worthwhile.
 Highly Mineralized Zone
 The find was made in a mineral ized zone that is right alongside of a big porphyry dike. and as a mat ter of fact the porphyritic dike is highly mineralized. in places show ing pyrites. cube iron. along with some unidentified su1phides and free gold.
 There are highly mineralized sec tions of the zone that are unmistak- able high grade free milling ore. We have taken samples that ran away up in the pictures as to values. and ten sacks of ore that we shipped to the Trail smelter returned values of better than S700. and a shipment that we sent down to the Alaska Juneau mine showed values of more than three and a half ounces in gold to the ton. Of course, this was high grade ore that we picked out of the ledge. but we had no powder or steel. and got it together with a pick and shovel We ire quently run across pieces of ore in which free gold is visible to the naked eye. but I realize that means little. as you can get high grade samples from almost any quartz find
 Take Supplies in by Plane
 T am planning on getting away from Seattle later on this week with some parties who have inter ested themselves with me and will go to Wrangell and take a plane from there We plan on flying in a winters supply of powder, steel tools and food. and will set up a tent right on the property and start sinking a shaft.
