klondike Mother Lode
 Located Near Carmack' 8

The mother lode, source of the famous gold deposits of the Klondike, lies 50 miles north of Carmack's and about 30 miles from Five-finger Rapids in the Yukon, according to a statement m a d e by Hon. George Black, speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, in a recent address before the Vancouver Board of Trade.
 The ore is so rich, running 142 ounces to the ton, that the first men approached for if nances for development didnot believe the statements made by the discoverers, MT. Black said.
 The lode is now owned by Ontario interests.

RYDER LUMBER MILL
 TO CHANGE OWNERSHIP

The Hyder Lumber mill, which for the past 12 years has been one of the districts most important industrial establish ments, will change hands on November Is as result of ne- gotiations completed during the past few days, it was an- nounced this week by William Gray, present owner and one of the founders of the business.
 The new owners will be Roy Mcleod, who has been associ- ated with the business for some years as winter manager, and Robert L. Stewart, pioneer res ident and operator of the Hy- der Dairy. The financial de- tails of the deal were not made public.
 In announcing the forthcom- ing transfer of ownership, MT. Gray indicated that failing health is the principal motive for his retirement. He plans to make his future home in Se- attle, where Mrs. Gray is at present residing, but does not intend to forego interest in Fly der, as he expects to spend a few months here during future summer periods.

NATION ENDORSES
 NEW DEAL AT POLLS

The New Deal received a powerful endorsement from tn American people in the Con- gressional elections h e l d throughout the nation last Tuesday, Democratic supper ters being swept into office in all parts of the country.
 Returns indicate that the Democrats retain control of the House of Representatives and increased their represent ation in the Senate.
 The Republicans retained less than a third of the Senate seats and a corresponding fraction of the House. Their present strength in the two branches of Congress is less than at any time in the party's history, according to press re- ports.
 President Roosevelt is said to be overjoyed at the tremen- dous expression of confidence given to the administration through the support given can didates who favor his policies.
 The latest returns indicate that "A Democratic senators were elected, 5 Republicans, 1 Farmer-Labor, and 1 Progress i've. Four others were still in doubt.
 The Democrats apparently will have 66 seats in the Sen ate, a majority of 16. They were also credited with a clear majority of 80 in the House, with over 100 seats still in doubt. Chances were said to be good for their having far over the 218 seats required for a majority in the new house.
 In the old House the Demo- crats held 309 seats against IA for the Republicans.
 With few exceptions, the Democrats were victorious in the gubernatorial contests.
 In California Governor Frank F. Merriam, Republican, re- tained the state executiveship, defeating Upton Sinclair, the Democratic candidate, by a substantial majority in one of the hardest fought elections in the states history. Hatfield, Democrat, was elected lieuten- ant governor. Senator Hiram Johnson was reelected.

Premier Preparing For New :. Power Plant Construction

In preparation for the con- struc tion of a new power plant to replace the plant at Thir- teen-mile destroyed by fire last week, The Premier Gold Min ing Company was engaged for several days this week in sack ing a large quantity of sand and gravel. The work was carried on with all possible ex- petition in order to escape diff faculties and increased costs certain to develop in the event of a heavy fall of snow. It is currently reported that a thou sand or more sacks of the ma terial were hauled from Sal mon river bars to a point on the Premier road near the site of the old power plant, where it will be readily accessible when the new construction is started.
 Whether the new plant will occupy the same site as the old one could not be ascertained. Rumors have been circulated to the effect that the company is considering placing the new plant at some point on the Alaska side of the information al boundary line, in order to save large customs tax expend- itures on fuel oil, but no con- firmation was obtainab1e. The outlook appears to be that the plant will be footed on or near the site of the old plant.
 As a result of the power breakdown and the conse- quent suspension of milling and shipping activities, a large number of the mill and tram employees were laid off inn mediately following the fire and a majority left the district during the week. A con:id- erable number of others have taken up residence in Stewart.
 In a laudable effort to pre- vent undue suffering from the unfortunate disaster, the com pany is retaining employees with families as far as possible.

HOya Line Invincible.

NO TEAM has been able to pene-
IN trate Georgetown's line. 1t has
a happy combination in gigantic
tackles, who are too big and strong
to be pushed around, and lighter but
fast and active guards. Behind this
line on defense it has Williamson and
Meglen, the former a giant who can
move rapidly and alertly, and the lat
ter big fellow who has done well in
every phase of fullback play. In every
game the Blue and Gray has held at
bay everything in the way of running
plays that opponents have hurled at
its forwards, and the only touchdowns
made against it were on passes, after
two of it's best backs were out OF the
game.
To throw against this brilliant and
powerful Georgetown defense, Mary
land has an offense that no opponent
has vet been able to stop consistently.
Its passing has been successful when
it has not been able to drive through
the line, and vice versa. Maryland
has gained ground freely in every
game so far.
Just what this Maryland offense will
do against the Georgetown defense is
mot possible to foreteli. Opinions
might be given, but they would be
nothing more than conjectures. Some
thing of how well the Georgetown
defense stands up may depend on
how effective the Georgetown offense
is. A good many people have
slogan in foot ball that "a good Of
tense is the best defense" and George
town may elect to do lot of smash
ing itself to follow the tradition OF
the Hilltop.

~ Saverine, Georgetown captain
~ and halfback, from making
his final bid for an all
District berth by playing against
Maryland at College Park Saturday,
but if he fails to get into the battle
at least two others will be out to
clinch such honors.
Bill Downer, Georgetown's 230-
pound tackle, is rated just about the
top of the heap hereabouts. He has
been almost impregnable on de-
tense, and has done his part on the
ofense almost as efficiently. Downer,
who stands 6 feet inches, is fine
specimen of manhood, being all ath-
lete.
~HARLES (CHUBBY) PARCELS,
I 190-pound halfback, will have
only to keep up the pace he has
set in the past six games of the
schedule to be chosen, without doubt.
He has been the leader in George
towns attack all year and in scoring
SO points has averaged one goal cross
ing game.
PARCELS is three-letter athlete,
having earned. his insignia in basket
ball and track, being one of the best
sprinters in the section. He is one
of those kind of foot ball players who
you cannot afford to let get by the
line of scrimmage.
Saverine, Downer and PARCELS all
are seniors, and it will be a bitter
disappointment to the Blue and Gray
leader if he does not recover suffi-
ciently to play against the Old Liners.
Al Vaccaro, tackle, is the only other
Hoya on the hospital list, but he has

TOOK BAD BEATING

Sioux Recall Broken Bones,

ton Colonials on the spot, and
If Jim Pixlee's men get away with
their scalps in tomorrow nights game
in Griffith Stadium it will be only
because they will have risen to the
occasion for the fourth week in q row.
Literally, George Washington will
have to rise to the occasion in this
third clash between the two teams in
order to escape an upset which the
husky boys from the rolling plains of
the North quite frankly admit having
planned.
George Washington's difficulty Is one
that is common in intercollegiate foot
ball, the matter of getting keyed up
to meet an underdog full of confidence
and fight. Such an underdog is this
big Nodak eleven, which physically at
least comedies the Colonials absolutely
nothing.

G. w. Still Under Pressure.

THE task of the Colonials is all
the more hard because for the
past three weeks they have had
TO perform under pressure while meet
ing teams favored over them. Twice
the locals best efforts failed to bring
victory-the Vanderbilt and L. S. U.
games-but the third time they finally
surmounted the odds and scored a win
over powerful West Virginia.
North Dakota players, mindful Of
humiliating 27-6 defeat last year
on their home field, are all set to put
up the battle of their lives to gain
revenge. They want to stop Tuffy
Leemans, for one thing, and, more i'm
portant, they want to hand to G. w.
as bad dose as they had to swallow
In 1888. Actually the Nodaks won't
be entirely satisfied unless they win
by two or three touchdowns.
The visitors recall with grim faces
the way George Washington beat them
down physically last year, when, ac-
cording to some observers, the game
was a man-to-man struggle for 10
minutes before either team settled
down to playing foot ball. A few
black eyes, broken leg, broken nose
and numerous cuts, they say, were
distributed among both squads as to-
kens OF the conflict.
Evening star., 1934-11-22
Colonials Must Battle.

A CLEARER idea of the strength
n Of North Dakota can be given
If one stops to consider the
game between the Nodaks and South
Dakota, which met Catholic U. here
last Saturday. When these two ira
ditional rivals battled earlier in the
season North Dakota used its first
string les sthan one quarter, yet
romped of with a 21-0 triumph.
South Dakota could register only three
first downs, all against the Nodaks'
second and third string teams.
So it seems that George Washing
tons chances tomorrow night of escap-
ing what Gus Fan calls an upset de-
feat now rest largely in the minds of
the Colonials themselves. Jim Pix
lee has told them that North Dakota
will be worthy foe indeed. If they
60 into the game looking for that sort
of opposition, then the night probably
will be another sad experience for
North Dakota.

Georgetown has been and is a re-

big and powerful, its ends brilliant
