Shepard, manager of the mining operations, said today.
 Shepard, who recently returned from the mine after the close of work there on December 3, said that he is preparing a complete accounting of gold mined and dis bursements. He will present the figures at a stockholders meeting which probably will be. held next week. Future plans will be made then M

 Shepard, who directed a crew of l9 men, worked two properties. One was leased from Jim zarelli and associates and the other is owned by Cow Sing and asSoci- ates. Both zarelli and Sing are located in Prince Rupert.
 Mining operations started for the third year on July l, and work was continued until July 28. when a cave-in accident caused the death of two employees. Work was not resumed until September l. Upon the conclusion of opera tions in December, Shepard said that he believed about 200 ounces of gold had been taken out.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

VIRTUALLY everybody has been a little
surprised at the signs of some degree of
business revival for this fall. Even some of the
more optimistic business prophets have seen
their predictions undone by series of unex-
pected developments
Auto production, instead Of falling off, held
up we'll into late July, despite imminence of
new models. Steel production hasn't fallen off
to the usual seasonal extent Electric power
production stays around the high point
achieved in 1929
Private building construction has risen
steadily since last February. 1t is still low, but
the improvement is marked and unwavering.
There is even evidence that the strike of
capital may be breaking. as security issues
have been mounting, and not all of them for
paying off old issues with money borrowed at
today's low rates. A small dribble is beginning
to go into new enterprises.
To cap all this. the stock market has been
rising steadily for many weeks to the highest
point of the year, and in many cases the high
est point in several years
Rising stock market prices in themselves
won't feed anybody. But they are a barometer
of more hopeful feeling on the part of the
scores of thousands of people who invest in the
countrys enterprises. So many people feeling
hopeful all at once has in itself a stimulating
effect. Such people spend money.
The stock market rise does not seem at
tributable to fears of initiation, but to "a re-
markable series of reports from large compan-
les whose profits are rising. Definitely bet
ter statements have just been issued by such
firms as General Mills, Westinghouse, Chrysler,
General Motors Radio Corp, U. S. Steel and
General Refractories to name only few.
Speaking broadly, scores of these big busi-
nesses are right now either increasing profits
or climbing out of the red for the first time in
several years.
Business leaders have chorused "let us
alone" Many of them are getting this fall the
first opportunity to demonstrate the business
craftsmanship they claimed to have learned
during the depression years.
They will have opportunity to see that
wages and hours in the plants keep pace with
advancing cost of living, which is admittedly
causing concern.
On the ability of business to rise to such
craftsmanship depends the question of wheth-
er what looms before us is false dawn" or
the beginning Of day after darkness

THUNDER ON THE LEFT

GONE of our big business promoters should
~ sit at the feet of those patrioteering sons
of America who have been exploiting the
red menace" in this country for years.
How little they have to build on can be
learned from the mouths of the Communists
themselves. In Moscow recently Earl Brow
der, head of the American delegation to the
Communist International, boosted of prog
ress' of the Communist movement in the
United States Proudly he declared there are
now $4,000 Communists here.
Even if Comrade Browder did not pad his
figures. how pitiful an admission! In ma
ton of 100000 900 souls just emerging from
five years of def1ation and misery the Reds
can brag of no more following than that of
a fifth-rate lodge.
Is this the foe within, for terror of which
We are asked to relinquish our Bill of Rights

bill?

UN-BUREAUCRATIC

TINE headlines say DR.. TugWell is going to
l. drop 1000 employees from the Rural Re-
settlement Administration. This certainly
must prove that the New Deals No. l BRAIN
truster can't be bureaucrat at heart.
For bureau with plenty Of money at its
disposal to cut down its personnel voluntarily
is unprecedented in Washington
Our sympathy to the 1000 employees who
are about to lose their jobs. 1t is not their
fault that those in charge of the resettle-
ment program have been slow in planning
and hence left them without work to do.
But, at the same time, our compliments
to DR.. Tugwell, for recognizing that padded
pay roll does not, in itself, contribute to So
luton of the social and unemployment prob
lens which the Resettlement Administration
is attacking. Instead it is merely waste of
the taxpayers money
More and more of this pruning of pay rolls
must be done in the next few years. 1t is
perhaps the most painful duty that faces gov
eminent executives. But it is unacceptable. If
the current tax debate has proved anything.
it is that tax revenue does not grow on trees.
Higher taxes will be necessary. But SO will
lower expenditures Only by increases on the
income side of its ledger and decreases on the
outgo side can the government balance its
budget and end the borrowing that is mort
gaging the future.

NO REGRETS

THE State Departments reply to the Ger
L man protest over the flag incident"
aboard the Bremen in New York harbor will
afford Herr Hitler scant satisfaction. 1t will
please Americans more.
It offers no apology, for none was de-
manded Nor. contrary to what seems to be
the general impression, did it even express re-
gret. In substance it makes clear that what
happened to the flag was the fault of the
Bremens officers, who failed to heed the po-
lice warning that trouble was to be expected
and to keep unauthorized persons from the
snip
Hampered though they thus were, the
New York police promptly quelled the dis
order, and a Jewish detective. Matthew Solo
mon, was seriously injured in his effort to
protect the Na1 fag-which irony will scarce
" be lost on Berlin.
Everything considered, it was simply "un-
treated The guilty should, and doubtless
will be punished.
We hold no brief for the Communists who
precipitated the riot 1t is the duty of this
government to afford every protection to for
eigners in this country, to their property and
their flag. No American or group of Ameri-
cans has any right to involve this govern
ment in their demonstrations, however much
they may rightly abhor the activities of other
governments. To do so is not only deteSta-
bic. 1t is dangerous to our peace.
In this case the New York authorities ap-
pear to have done their full duty Had it
been otherwise. the affair might have as
sumed grave proportions. Apologies, at the
very least would have been in order AS it
was, Washington's answer unquestionably ex-
presses the sentiment of the vast majority of
the American people.

TRACK ELEVATION

INDIANAPOLIS citizens who have fought for
years for the completion of the track eleva-
ton program have been shocked by the dis
closure that the s15OOO,OOO program has been
cut to s3,5OOOOO.
The reason for the cut is still vague, but
there IS a suspicion that red-tape and long
time delays have more than little to do with
the regrettable situation.
OF all the projects being put over by state
and local officials throughout the nation, there
are few more worthy than the Indianapolis
track elevation program. 1t is public works
that will save lives and damages and speed up
a busy city's progress.
There is a faint suspicion that for years
public officials have not taken too seriously
the pleas Of civic organizations 1oI the track
elevation program.
The whole thing has been like pulling teeth.

ministration and combined efforts of both

WAR AND ATROCITIES

liver since the war between Italy and
T. Ethiopia became an even bet. we've been
listening for the atrocity barrage. 1t has
started.
Italy officially charges Ethiopian tribes
men with "mutiating children" in a mass
attack" or "the defenseless natives of Eritrean
Danakil'
Wed expected something more original.
"Mutiated children" was a favorite in the
ancient wars between Turks and Christians.
In every Balkan war it has been hauled out
ard served over again. During the World
War it saw hare service.
Unotficially, in recent weeks, more imagi-
nation has been shown. The charge that the
Italians planned to scatter chemicals behind
Ethiopian lines to burn the feet off the bare
footed natives showed more ingenuity. So
did the story that the Philippians scheme
tc turn lions loose on Ill Duces men,
We have had more than enough of atrocity
Observation-Disclosures side puts them out.
War itself is an atrocity No nation has
ever gone to war; however civilized that did
not commit excuses. individuals and groups
commit atrocities in this and all other coun-
tries. even in peacetime. War merely affords
larger outlet for cruelty.
The object o. wartime atrocity stories
is to arouse the public against the alleged
perpetrator. Italy seeks to make people be-
lieve that in invading Ethiopia, she is do
ing civllization's Job. Which, of course, is not
true.
Italy is said already to have spent more
than 600 million dollars preparing for con-
flict in Africa. One-tenth that amount used
to build roads, schoolhouseS. hospitals and
whatnot, would have had far greater civil
izing influence. And the war hasn't even
started.
Itays aims OF course, are economic and
territorial not educational. So, if the war has
got TO come. let's have it out along those
lines. Let's have done with propaganda tales
of INITIATED women and children. A single
bomb. dropped from a plane. one of 'civiliza-
tons proudest creations, would mutilate more
.nnocentS in the fraction of a second than a
whole tribe of wild Dankalis could mutilate
in a day.
When there are atrocities, let's charge
them up to war-not to any particular race
or nation. In war both sides are guilty. War
makes savageS of us all.

REVENUE, BARREL SLAVES

MORE than a billion dollars in beverage
A'A taxes have poured into the treasures of
the Federal, state and local governments since
the legalization of beer and the subsequent
repeal of porhibition
The governmental units have sorely needed
that revenue. They still need all they can get.
That fact alone is reason enough to con-
denim the effort to legalze the sale of hard
liquor in barrels, and by bulk The aggressive
cooperage lobby put such a provision in the
Federal Alcohol Control Act which has passed
the House and is now before the Senate
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau says that,
should barrel sales be legalized, the govern
ment would have to say good-by to a substan-
tial portion of the revenue it now obtains
from hard liquor He says that bootleggers,
now apparently on the run, would get a new
lease on life. and that whole army of tax
gatherers and liquor agents could not stop the
leaks. State tax and law-enforcement author
tiles concur in this view.
Joseph n Choate, head of the late Federal
Alcohol Control Administration. says bulk sales
would bring back the Infamous barrel house
days of the pre-prohibition era, and end the
progress the country apparently is making to-
ward temperance. State beverage control Off
Gals concur.
The barrel makers demand larger profits.

SOCIALIST TICKET IS CURE
FOR CHISEL ARTISTS

BY Parlor Pink.
The smoky back room Of pool
hall, a dilapidated upstairs room, or
dirty dimly lighted basement
room; these are the places where
some men make their living selling
baseball tickets, calling the turn of
a card or the roll of the dice and
others by naming the horses which
nose in first. These men are
called gamblers, are prosecuted and
considered outcasts.
In luxurious offices in modern
office buildings are other men who
are better fed and clothed and who
make their living buying and selling
stocks. For them we have created
a special club called the Stock Ex-

called respected citizens and not
