Taylor ran the hoist and Petrokov
mucked out the ore. It then ran by
gravity to the crushers and thence
to the mill. 1t was slow work but
the two men took out $500 from

Egan Petrokov and Jess Taylor,
who have a lease on the Ramsay
Rutherford mine over the Valdez
Glacier, arrived in Valdez recently,
bringing with them four pounds of
gold, milled by them at the famous
old property. They have been
at the mine for several weeks,
working the property which form

men. Mr.. Taylor ran the diesel and

One of the real oldtimers to re-
turn to Nome on the SIS. North
wind was Bill Brisner, a member OF
nearly score of Arctic expeditions
which based out of Nome in the
early days of the race to reach
the North Pole He was a member
of the expedition on the MS. Ma
nuk which was frozen in during
the winter of 1929 of which Col.
Ben Eielsen and Mechanic Earl
Borland were killed. He was
member of the whaler Belyedere
ON several of her voyages into the
Arctic ocean, and numerous other
expeditions of like character dur
ing which time he served mostly in
the capacity of engineer. Mr.. Bris-
ner is brother of Mrs. Edna

The body of Ben Easley, Nome
plane pilot, whose plane was found
broken up in the ice near Cape
Blossom in the Arctic ocean, has
been recovered, according to a ra-
dio message from Bob Julian, anna
teur operator at Elephant Point
The plane was sighted partially
submerged July 8. The door was
open, indicating the pilot was not
fatally hurt when the machine was
forced down. 1t was assumed that
he was drowned while attempting
to swim the short distance to shore.
The plane left Candle for Kotze-
bue on July 2 and when it failed
to arrive a search was started. The
plane was not badly damaged and
the supposition is that it struck
the water while the pilot was look
ing for an opening in the fog.

The fox terrier of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. C. Chase of Valdez evidently
has a maternal complex A few days
ago Mr.. Chase found a couple of
baby rabbits in the road and took
them home with him. One of them
died, and Mrs. Chase, seeing the
interest manifested by the dog,
placed the other in box with the
terrier. Now the dog has adopted
the young rabbit, never allowing it
out of her sight, and if it strays
from the box picking it up by the
nape of the neck and returning it
to its bed. The rabbit has accepted
the dog as its maternal guardian
for it follows it about all day and
both seem to be mutually satisfied.
Photos have been taken of the
queer pair.

That there will be a depletion of
rabbits in the near future is the
belief of Frank Dufresne, game
warden and oldtimer of the north.
On a recent trip over the Territory
Mr. Dufresne said he found that
rabbits had reached their peak and
that ticks were beginning to appear
on them which meant that an cpl
defic of disease will ensue which
will decimate them rapidly. Every
seven years the rabbits practically
die off and then get more numerous
each year until disease again hits
them. Ptarmigan and grouse are
especially plentiful this year and
appear to be at the peak of the
seven-year cycle. He said that ptar-
migan were so numerous that they
appeared like white clouds in the
sky.

Pilot Kirkpatrick of the Cordon

juneau, was returned to Cordova
Tuesday by a Coast Guard cutter
The party which consisted of L. n.

reau of Fisheries, and Mrs. Kirk
atrick, wife of the pilot, had
mushed several miles to an old
abandoned mining cabin at Yakata-

forced down.
The accident was caused by one
of the pontoons striking a tree, the
ship flying low on account of fog.
No one was injured, but all were
tired from the long tramp to the
old mine. A searching party was
sent out from Cordova on Monday
but had to turn back on account
of fog. The party was discovered by
the cutter and taken in to Cordova.

mining is active in South America,
but that taxes are so high they are
forcing costs beyond reason, and
hurting the game. The tax on gaso-

while distillate costs 90 cents a

Kids Shoot Girl in Head
When 'HOLd-Up Fails.

Perham-Shot by two 10-year-old
boys to whom she refused a penny in
mock hold-up, Elizabeth Schoene-
berger, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. A.
Schoeneberger, Perham, was in a serious
condition when a round copper ball
penetrated her scalp. With several
companions of her own age, Elizabeth
was on her way to.the public library.
William Hauch and Paul Preuss, two
small boys, stopped them and demanded
penny for some candy. The girls re-
fused to take the "hold-up' seriously,
and laughingly continued on their way.
The boys followed at a distance, and
one of them raised blank cartridge
pistol and fired in the direction of the
girls. The missile hit the Schoeneberger
girl on the side of the head. near the
crown. The girls fled to the library,
where the librarian summoned the mar
shall and the Schoenebergers. The
child was taken to the hospital, where

The broadcaSts from Japan are be-
ing heard almost every afternoon by
listeners who tune for them between
the hours of and 5 p. M, Eastern
Standard Time. They are providing
one of the most exciting sources of aft
ernoon entertainment. Signal strength
of these broadcaSts as it has been 90
served on four afternoons during the
past week has been above average and
on two of the four days, was almost
equal to that cuStomarily experienced
from the regularly heard European
stations. To those who have not be-
lieved japanese broadcaSts could be re-
ceived satisfactorily, we suggest tue
ing to any of these stations during the
aforementioned period: JVH on AGO
megacycles, JVM on 1914 megacycles,
JVN on 1886 megacycles or JVP on
Isl megacycles. 1t has been the exper-
fence of many observers that JVM or
JVN are furnishing the best reception
at present.
AS any experienced short-wave listen
er will agree, the aerial is fully as i'm
portant in Short-wave reception as the
radio itself. For fullest efficiency on
all wave bands, the aerial should be
of such form that it can be tuned to
each band. But such tuning ordinarily
necessitates additional controls. How
ever, a built-in Aerial-Tuning System
that automatically adjusts the aerial
to the various wave bands as one tunes
the set, has been announced by one
radio set manufacturer. This is indeed
a big step ahead in short-wave radio
design.
Two new German stations have been
heard during the past two weeks
broadcaSting special test programs.
One announced itself as DJJ on 1O.O42
magacycleS and the other as DJI on
about 1858 megacycles. The former was
heard during the late afternoon; while
the latter was heard as late as $50 P.
M, Eastern Standard Time.

Boys Lock SeLUes in
Trunk, Almost Die

Springfield-Boys will be boys and get
into queer places, and sometimes it is
easier to get in than to get out. That
is what Robert Kelly, four year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Larry Kelly, and Carrel
jain, not much older son of MIR. and
Mrs. Herman jain, both of Spring
field, found out the other day. Playing
in the jain garage, the two small boys
conceived the idea of hiding in an old
trunk. But after firing of this, they
decided to get back into circulation, only
to find the lid of the trunk just
wouldn't lift. Hours passed. 1t seemed
like days and nights to the boys in their
dark prison And it got hotter and
hotter Supper time came, with parents
becoming excited. A search ended in
the garage, where jain heard plaintive
voices. He opened the trunk and there
were two boys, wringing wet, but great
ly relieved. They did not realize that
they had been flirting with death.

Marshall-The youngsters of Mar

patiently waiting the arrival of the Red

and ice for next summer.
Dry since early July, the slowly adj
vancing water, CONCEALED with ice and
barely moving, is slowly advancing on
the town. Never before in the memory
of man has the water been so late in

spell. Lack of fall rains kept the river
from resuming its course along in Sept
ember and october as it has done in
past years. In case it fails to reach

Marshall youngsters will be deprived of
their skating rink this winter, and the
supply of ice for next summer will have
to be brought in from some other
source.
