Contract
Bridge
Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

INFORTUNATELY many of the
~ country's most noted bridge
players are little known to the play
ing public. Several years ago Nate
B. Spingold, a motion picture off,
cial, became interested in tourna-
ment bridge and presented to the
American Bridge League one of the
finest trophies in the sports world.
1t was placed in competition for the
masters team of four title.
Masters only are eligible to par
ticipate and, to be master, player
must have six master points to his
credit, which he has won at some
major bridge event in the United
States.
Naturally. Mr.. Spingold will be
| interested in the team-of-four event
at the national tournament to be
held at Asbury Park, N. j., the week
of Aug. 5, as from this event will
come some of the material to play
/ in the masters team-of -four event.
Spingold. while an interested du-
/ plicate follower, gets little chance
to play duplicate. He has to get
his enjoyment out of rubber bridge.
Here's an example of the defense
Nate, as he is known to his friends
from coast to coast, is capable of
delivering. Ee held the West hand
and was the one to double the three
club contract.
last made very fine opening,
- the jack of hearts. A low heart
was played from dummy, but West
went right in with the king and then
made very fine sacrifice play.
1t certainly looks as if this lead
now should not be a club, as he had
a sure club trick, if he allowed de-
clarer to play that suit himself. But
West returned a small club, which
declarer won in dummy with the
jack.
A small spade was played by
South, West winning with the queen.
West played another club, dummy
winning with the king.
The ten of spades was returned
and West won the trick with the
king. The queen of clubs was led,
killing all Of dummy's clubs.
Regardless of what declarer did,
he had TO lose two more spade tricks,
which defeated the contract one
trick. By sacrificing his queen OF
clubs. Mr.. Spingcld gained two spade
tricks.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

CILAS DRANN'S company from
y the Atlas Pictures Corporation,
one of the big six" organizations
Of Hollywood, arrived at Crest Lake
lust two weeks after 10 and Marsh
had discussed the coming of the
actors and actresses over Mrs. Bow
ems delectable fried chicken.
Fragonet was not with the first
contingent. He had private buSi-
ness to attend to in Hollywood, Silas
explained, and there was no reason
for him to appear until all the nee
esSary preparations were made.
10 Darien could not help but Won
der if Fragonet's private business"
had to do with his separation from
his wife, but she was secretly glad
that her meeting with the movie
star was to be postponed for a while.
However. Fragonet had obviously
told Dram about her, for when
Douglas Marsh introduced them the
huge, beetle -browed director was in
terested at once. "Oh, yes :" he
said. in the faintest of foreign ac
cents, "Jo Darien. I know =. 1
know" Just what he knew he did
not say, but 10 had the uncomfor-
table feeling that his deep-set eyes
could look quite through her.
With Dram we're other principals
Lolita Montez, the leading lady, a
tall brunei who was as slender as
any woman 10 had ever seen. 10
had watched her on the screen and
had not realized that the heartleSs
motion picture camera adds at least
Is or or 20 pounds to the perform
er's weight. No wonder actresses
had to watch their diets!
Then there was Jarvis Maurice, a
new English actor who had just
signed a contract with Atlas after
successful stage work in London.
The third of the principals was
Johnny Barley, the comedian who
had saved many a bad picture from
utter failure. Barley was a short,
sad-faced little man who, off the
screen, was anything but comical.
Most Of Drann's company was
composed of cameramen, sound tech
nicianS, script clerks-and even car
penters. For several sets had to be
built before the actual shoot" be-
gan. The principals stayed at the
Inn. and the others Marsh assigned
to the cottages.

APHROPHORA CORTICEA

The women of the Civic club
have a long list of achievements to
their credit but if they succeed in
their latest undertaking, that of
exteTminating a certain insect pest
in Wrangell, they will have per-
formed a notable service for the
town.
The insect made it's appearance
in Wrangell gardens about seven
years ago. 1t was at once dubbed
"spit-bug," and regardless of the
lack of elegance in expression, one
knows at once what the speaker
means.
Usually called frog hopper in
sections of the states where it is
known, its scientific classification
is of the family cercopidae, aphro-
phora corticea (Alaskan) aphro-
phora quadranguleus eastern U.
S.. But it will probably continue
to be known in Wrangell by its in
elegant name 1t is a small leaping
insect. the larvae of which live on
plants and envelop themselves in
a mass of white froth. The adults
wander about on heritage and
trees
Each year this insect has in
creased its depredations until prac-
tically every garden in Wrangell is
infested with the disgusting masses.
Aside from its revolving aspect 1t
is very destructive of plant life and
a number of strawberry beds have
been entirely destroyed by its in
roads.
The Civic club has asked the u.
S. Department of Agriculture for
information as to methods of con-
troll, or rather elimination of the
insect. No reply has yet been re-
ceived, but the club realizes that
when such information is available
it will take complete cooperation
of every one in Wrangell before
the pest can be eradicated.

CASH REWARD
for the
RETURN OF FISH TAGS

The L. S. Bureau of Fisheries is
tagging pink salmon in the sum-
mer of 1895 in Clarence strait.
Southeastern Alaska Metal tags are
attached to the upper part of the
tail of the fish.
Twenty-Five cents reward will be
paid for each tag returned if ac-
companied by information as to the
date and locality where the fish
was caught. The success of the
work will depend almost entirely
upon the cooperation of the fisher
men and people connected with the
fishing industry.
Please turn over tags and infor-
nation to the U. S. Bureau of Fish
cries wardens or to cannery super
intendents in the districts where
the fish are caught Be sure to
leave name and address of indiyidu-
al finding tag with the official to
whom the tag is given. This will
provide for the proper payment of
rewards. Tags will be returned to
the people finding them upon re-
quest.

had been expressed as to whether
the Social Security bill really took
care of Indians although they are
citizens OF the United States. The
bin passed the senate with this
amendment and went to conference.
In conference the amendment was
stricken out and so, as the bill
came back to both house and sen
ate no special provision was made
for Indians.
Members of Tribes
Long before this action was
taken, ton Feb. 6. 1880 Senator
Norbeck introduced a bill providing
old age pensions for Indian citizens
of the U. S. The bill, as drawn,
would give a pension of not to ex-
coed 81 a day to all Indian citi-
zens of half blood or more upon
attaining the age of 70 years, and
who are in need of such pension.
This bill was referred to the Senate
committee on Indian Affairs and
on May l, 1885, the committee re-
ported the bill with a number OF
amendments. In one of these
amendments it was recommended
that the word citizen" be stricken,
and the words member of any
tribe now under the jurisdiction"
be substituted therefor, so that the
bill, as amended, would provide
pension for amy Indian of the half
blood or more who is a member of
any tribe now under the jurisdic-
ton of the United States" etc.
For Alaska Indians, Eskimos
Since few of the Indians of Alas
ka live on reservation and since
they are a part of the body politic
of Alaska and are not governed in
any respect through tribal organi-
cations, doubt exists as to whether
Senator Norbeck's bill, il SO amend
ed, will cover the Indians and Es-
KINDS of Alaska. Delegate Dimond
has taken this matter up with the
Interior Department and with a
number OF the members of the Sen
ate committee on Indian Affairs,
particularly Senators Thomas, Nor
beck, Frazier and Donahey, re-
questing that a suitable amendment
be made to the bill so as to express
ly cover the Indians and Eskimos
of Alaska.

Deportation of alien convicts has
been undertaken by the government
and the first group is to be on its
way soon. 1t is planned as an
economy move which is a sound
enough reason as there isn't any
logical excuse why the American
people should pay taxes to keep up
institutions and have them filled
with aliens who have committed
crimes in this country.
While all good citizens will laud
the shipping out of the alien con-
Yicts it is probable their enthusi-
asm would reach little higher
pitch If the same action was start
ed on some of our undesirable
aliens, who, as yet, haven't gotten
behind the prison doors though we
suspect some of them should be
there. If the authorities will just
carry on a little further and put
the custer on some of the known
residents of other lands whose main
purpose in this country seems to
be to kick up as much disturbance
as possible it will be long step
toward clearing up a great many
of our troubles. There is no fault
to find with good, honest people
who come from foreign lands to
make their home, swear allegiance
to our flag and raise their children
to be patriotic American citizens.
We can all trace our ancestors back
to other countries.
But there should be no room in
the United States or any of its
possessions for the bewhiskered
gentry whose sole ambition in life
is to upset every form of organized
government, especially our own.
They should feel the toe of Uncle
Sans twenty-league boot before
they ever get into jail just as it is
being swung now at some of those
who are alreay convicted.

put was distributed between these
types of mines in the proportion of
about "A to Sc, .$7.052,00O from
lodes and S8,955,O0 from placers.
This proportion for the entire peri
cd that gold mining has been in
progress in Alaska has been about
35 to 65 The producing gold lodes
are widely distributed through the
Territory, but nearly 20 percent of
the output came from lodes in
southeastern Alaska. where acces-
sibility to deep-water routes of
communication and other favorable
conditions have permitted the sue
cessful mining of immense tonnag-
es of low-grade gold ore.
Hundreds of camps contributed
to the output of placer gold, but
those in the Yukon Basin contri-
buted the greatest amount, and
those in Seward peninsula came
next. Nearly rs percent of the total
placer production of the Territory
was mined by dredges, of which 80

dredges produced gold to the value
of $6,725,O0O. They are estimated
to have handled about 10,445.000
cubic yards of gravel, and the
gold recovered was worth about
64.4 cents a cubic yard.

but the cessation since 1888 of ex-
tensive copper mining cut off this
source of supply. Some silver, how
ever, is obtained as a by-product
from the lodes in which the princi-
pal valuable metal is gold, and
some silver is also recovered from
the bullion and dust produced from
the gold placers. In 1894 silver to
the value of about $76,44 came
from the gold-lode mines and about
$685. from the placer mines-the
total (154,700 ounces) having
value of about 500, 900.

Copper Mining Suspended
The very low price of copper,
which in 1888 led to the suspension
of mining at the large copper
mines of the Territory still exer-
cised such a deterrent effect that
these mines rem ined closed
through 1884 also. The only copper
produced from Alaska ores in 1884
was recovered as a by-product of
ores whose principal value lay in
other meals, notably gold, and is
estimated as 121, 900 pounds, valued
at $1,000.
The lead produced from Alaska
ores in 1894 amounted to 100000
pounds, which at the average sell
ing price for the year was worth
$62, 100. Most of it was recovered
as a by-product in connection with
the mining of gold ores in south
eastern Alaska. The quantity of
lead was some $4,000 pounds less
than in 1888. The average price of
lead in 1884 was 81 cents a
pound, or the same as in 1888.

Coal to the value of $451,O0O
was produced in 1884 from Alaska
mines. principally in the aMtanus-
ka and Healy river fields. No Alas
ka coal is exported, but 28,317
tons was imported from the states,
chiefly from Washington, and H.
675 tons from foreign countries,
chiefly British Columbia, so that
the total consumption of coal in
Alaska in 1884 amounted to about
$50, 500 tons.
No Petroleum Produced
The principal mineral commodity
that is included under the head
ing Miscellaneous mineral pro-
ducts" in the foregoing table is
the group Comprising platinum and
the platinum metals. There was
very great increase in the output
of these valuable meals from the
Goodnews bay district in 1884, and
the resumption of mining in the
Kasaan peninsula resulted in sup
plying considerable quantities of
palladium. No petroleum was pro-
duced in Alaska in 1884, and the
marble and limestone quarries were
also inactive. Some quicksilver ore
was mined in the KuskokWim re-
gion, and revival of development
in that area was in progress.
