ECONOMIC HORIZON BETTER
Industrial Leaders Told NRA
Codes Of Great Value But

BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, May 2. - The
United States Chamber of Com
merce today put President Roose-
velt's new deal under the micro
scope and found it, for the most
part, sound.
More than 1000 leaders in Amer
lean business assembled in the
chambers magnificent headquar-
terS, square from the White House
to hear President Henry I. Harri-
man outline to the chambers 21st
annual convention the reaction of
industry to the recovery program.
Economic horizons have bright
ened, not only in the United States,
but around the world, he said in his
prepared address, while in this
country especially, conservative
optimism" is in order.
Referring to last years convention
when the outlook was most dis
couraging," he recounted the pro-
gress made by the nation since then
under the leadership of President
Roosevelt and asked:
Should they (new deal policies)
be made permanent, and If so, in
what form?"
Answering his own question, Har
riman said he believed the codes of
the National Recovery Administra-
ton were of great value, that the
Agriculture Adjustment Admins
'tration had been half success and
half failure and Cnat
I'VE cannot solve our economic
problems by going back or by stand
ing still We cannot afford to cling
too tenaciously to old convictions, or
to yield too reluctantly to new
ideas"
He compared recovery in this
country with a similar development
in England, explaining that Great
Britain's policies through the years
have coincided remarkably with the
new deal (which the present econ
omic crisis have forced suddenly ON
u.s."
Lists Recovery Assets
Listing the indiceS of recovery,
Hartman said:
"The normal gross income of those
engaged in agriculture is between
100000 900 and $11 900, 100000. In
1882 it sank to a sum barely in ex-
cess of $4,000, 100000, but in 1888 it
rose to between $6,000,000,000 and
$1,000 100000. In this same period
farm prices rose from an index
number of 40 to an index number
of 60.
General business also has i'm
proved as is we'll indicated by the
index figure of business activity,
which rose from 61.7 in February
1888 to 1875 in March of the present
year. But the most hopeful
statistical figure is that of uneril-
ployment.
1.-THE role of men and women who
were out of work in February 1888
included nearly 100000 people.
Today it is not even 100000, and
from this number must be deduct
ed about 100000 who normally are
out of work, leaving the present ex-
cess of the unemployed around A.
100000"
Intangible assets of the new deal,
he continued, include abolition of
child labor, elimination of the sweat
shop and a campaign agaist eX-
ploitation alike of the laborer and
the investor.

CASSIAR MINERS HAVE REASON FOR
 NEW OPTIMISM SAYS BEN CAMERON

graph Creek and have comfortable quarters.
 Muddy is Clear River
 Boulder Creek is a tributary of the Muddy river, which Cambron says is strangely named, the river being so crystal clear that trout can be seen at a depth of ten feet.
 The Wheaton camp is favorably located, there being an abundance of timber. A good sized automatic dam for ground sluicing was put in during the summer. The ground is covered with heavy wash. The men plan to drill the boulders during the winter, shoot them in the spring and send the pieces through the four-foot Hume. Boulder Creek at the lower end of their ground, it is said, has a 70-foot drop over reef a short way before it flows into Muddy river and Wheaton has utilized this formation so that the Hume ends at the head of the falls, and all tailings go over the reef into the river.
 Potatoes at $20 a Sack
 Wheaton came into Telegraph Creek for supplies before the Cam brons left He paid five cents a pound for potatoes grown on the Ira Day ranch but when five cents a pound was added for freight to Dease Lake and ten cents a pound from the lake to Boulder Creek, five sacks of potatoes cost exactly $10O.
 Granger tobacco, with duties and freight cost $2.5O a pound at the lake, coffee S5 cents a pound and other necessities in proportion. Wheaton banned IT ounces in ten days while testing his ground dur ing the past season so high prices for commodities do not worry him.
 Reason for Optimism
 Cambron states that there is a reason for the renewed optimism in his section of the Cassiar for the various miners are doing well. A. Vickery who is located on Gold Pan one and a quarter miles above IOOh OuI llLll6 than 100 ounces this season, doing most of the work alone. Cambron regards Vickery's as a very promis ing property; though it is difficult he says, to get out the values on Gold Pan creek by working it in small way. What is needed, he says, is for someone with a little money to work the entire creek with auto matic dams.
 Hundred Dollar Pans
 The Gibsons on Mosquito Creek, quit operations at the end of the season with 1900 feet of bedrock stripped in readiness for a good cleanup next year. Planning across bedrock just before leaving Mos quito gave hundred-dollar pans.

LEE CONSIDINE
 ENGAGED FOR
 HUNTINGGUIDE

Lee Consldine recently renewed his license as a hunting guide and has been engaged by Campbell Church. who contracts hunting and cruising trips along the coast of Alaska each year.
 Starting in the spring the Wran- gell man will be aboard one of Mr. Church's yachts for a period of four months. He will have charge of westward and interior hunting trips. During the summer when hunting is not allowed he will ac- company a moving picture party for closeup studies of Alaskan brown bear.
 Considine is a veteran guide of the big game country of southwest ern and interior Alaska. He held a guides license on the famous Ken ai Peninsula under three different governors during the years that Kenai was the only district in Alas ka where licensed guides were re- quired for nonresident hunters. After the Alaska Game Commission was formed he carried a license is- sued from that office until 1928. At that time he went to the States to carry out an idea which he had in mind of using an airplane for the transportation of prospectors and big game hunters into new and unexplored parts of the North.
 After spending considerable time in flying and trying out various types of planes, Considine selected small four-place cabin job for the venture Before the pontoons arrived that were to be fitted on this plane for northern flying he had the misfortune to have a motor failure over rough country where there was no landing field avail able or open space to glide into and he was forced to land In tho woods completely wrecking the plane.
 Now that the depression is over and the hunters are coming North again Lee states that it will not be long before he has a chance to work out his original plan of plane trans portation.

Thibert Ground Shows Up We'll Says Jackson

Joe Jackson, who is developing a placer property on Thibert Creek in the Cassiar, came out recently by plane, with Capt. Wm. Strong, making the trip in two hours fly ing time Fifteen minutes were used in flying from Porter's Land ing to the head of Dease Lake, 2S minutes for the 73 miles from there to Telegraph Creek where the plane waited four hours while Jasckson attended to business mat ters, and 40 minutes for the 165 miles down the Stikine to Wran- gell. Travelling in this fashion and making good boat connections at Wrangell enabled Jackson to reach Seattle ten days earlier than other wise.
 Jackson, who took up three half mile leases on Thibert three years ago, is concentrating his develop ment work on No. 2 and No.
 On No. the bedrock is unusual as it lies high, being ten feet above the level of the creek. In the '70's a man named White took out $70,- 900 from this bench. White drove a tunnel and found a rich paystreak but was driven out by water.
 Jackson has started a tunnel 100 feet below the earlier working in an attempt to tap the paystreak that White lost. While working on this bench he has found a number of shafts that were sunk in years gone by in efforts to reach the pay streak from the surface.
 Besides building cabin Jack sons development work includes numerous open cuts on No. 2 and No. 1, an automatic tramline, with two home made buckets, $50 feet from the tunnel to Thibert creek
 The new tunnel was in 20 feet when Jackson left camp. He made some tests with very high results. In the last test he got into some very encouraging ground in the tunnel
 He is assured of financial back Ing anu WHen ne leII WidH6oh ho was confident that he would come back in the spring with modern machinery, a steam donkey drag line, prepared to start in produc- tion.
 The ground is rich, he says. It can be handled inexpensively, He has plenty of wood and the future looks most encouraging to him.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1934-10-12

Though getting off to a late start last spring, Ben Cambron re- turned Saturday from his placer properties on Gold Pan in the Gas siar, feeling that he had put in a profitable season.
 Seven years ago Cambron left California and comparatively easy life. to indulge his desire for a wilderness life, where he could dig gold directly from the ground instead of earning it indirectly. He has never divulged what methods he used to persuade his wife to come North with him but during the seven years she nas ronghed it and made him as perfect com panion in the wilderness as she did in the city.
 Automatic Dam
 Gold Pan has afforded them l good living each year. This season Cambron was able to accomplish a good many of his plans in dead work. With the help of three men he built a 110-foot dam which holds nine feet of water He used 12-foot tagging faced with moss and reinforced by sod squares from bottom to top with 22-foot spruce braces six feet apart. He put in a seven by ten automatic gate and a four by eight curtain gate.
 A 4O0-foot canal was dug to di- vert the water in the creek into another channel. Everything is in readiness to get a lot of ground worked next year.
 The Cambrons left Wrangell last spring when the Harrington Transportation company sent its second boat of the season to Tele- graph Creek. They expected to find Bill Elder in from his horse range with a pack train waiting for them at Telegraph Creek but instead they waited two weeks for Elder. and after leaving Telegraph Creek they were five days in getting to Dease Lake.
 Wheaton Encouraged
 Cambron reports that Jack Whea- ton, who with Jim Mattatal and Frank Bobner, left Wrangell on the second boat last spring to stay three years on Boulder Creek, forty miles southeast of Gold Pan, Is much encouraged by the seasons work.
 The men have no doubts as to their ground. It is proving even better than they believed when they went in for the three-year stay. They did little production work the past season, using their time on building permanent camp. They whip-sawed all the lumber for the buildings, had win dows freighted in at freight cost of fifteen cents a pound from Tele-
