JOHN RICHIE DECIDES TO
 MAKE HOME IN HONOLULU

John Richie, who left Wrangell recently intending to journey to Pago Pago American Samoa after brief visit in Honolulu, has writ ten from Honolulu to Wrangell friends stating that he decided against going to Pago Pago, when he found that the Naval authorities required a deposit of $200 before an American citizen could stop there and then would grant only a 6O-day stopover.
 Richie is delighted with Hono- lulu. He has bought a car and in tends to make that city his home indefinitely. There is considerable building under way and being able to secure tile right in town, he is going in business as a tile con- tractor.
 The climate is very pleasant, he says and it is never hot as there is always a trade wind blowing. He is finding particular pleasure in surf bathing as the water is not cold.
 The only flaw in MT. Richies letter is that he states he really does not see how he stood Alaska for so many years with HCnolullu only 3100 miles away.
 He sent greetings through the Sentinel to all Wrangell friends with wishes for a happy and pros porous New Year to all.

Mrs. fred Wigg Passes
 Away Tuesday Morning

Mrs Fred Wigg passed away Tuesday morning at Bishop Rowe General Hospital from pneumonit. She had been in poor health for the past fbur years. Last year she underwent a major operation in san Fracisco from which she made Ia good recovery but when she was taken ill on Christmas Day pneu- monia developed which she could not combat due to heart disease.
 Her death brings deep sorrow to the community for she has been an outstanding influence for good since a young girl.
 Matilda Hoagland Wigg was born in Wrangell on Oct. 30, 1871. On her mothers side she descended rom a high caste Native family. Her father was among the first group of white men who went into the Cassiar during the first gold eX- citement in the sos. He later established a trading post at Buck 8 Bar on the Stikine which he left in the early '7O's to take his oldest son to Victoria to place in school.
 A storm wrecked theschooner and the only trace of the boat and pas sengers ever recovered was the body of the boy lashed to a spar which was found near Bella Blla.
 Mrs Hoagland placed her litte daughter in school when Miss Me Farland had charge of the Presby- terian Mission at Wrangel, She remained there for several years and was a pupil to whom the Mission pointed with pride.
 She was married in 1897 to Fred Wigg who survives her. together with their son, Louis and his three children, and their daughter. Mrs. Grace Levy, of San Francisco. A

STEWART SAYS BEACHS PLANS FOR
 AIR MAPPING MINES IS IMPRACTICAL

learned before a man can make a stab at the prospecting business . tough one in Alaska. Stewart eX- plained.
 If such a scheme as Beach pro- poses is 10 be intr1dr ced, let the organizers round up some old sour doughs and make instructors out of them let them give these young men stiff course in backyard pres pecting, and then take them out T the mountains for practical train ing, he proposes.
 Suggests Reimbursing
 "The men can be placed in parts of Alaska where prosDectins ig justified, with a foreman over them. After such training they will be qualified to negotiate for grub stakes from businessmen. And when they make .their strike provision should be made for them to reini- purse the government for the time and money tt spent on ma'liag pros pectors of them"
 Shcrt term courses in mining sGch dS the ore JHSl EOHtluuEu III Juneau would be valuable build-ups to a course in practical prospecting, Ste wart believes.
 "There cant be any mass trans planting of young Americans from the states up here that would never work" he said en phaticaly We must have selection such as the Canadians employed in similar project.
 Alaska needs rrospectors, es- pecially experienced Iosp"e,ors who have worked in frozen placer regions If l were called on right now to suggest an experienced young pros pector to send out I'd have a hard time finding one. They're mighty scarce in this country.
 "The old-timers are fast fadirg cut too. But there are plenty of young men in the territory who would jump at the chance to be sent out under a government plar to learn prospecting, and I believe they should get the first chance, f any such plan is adopted"

Use of army planes to map Alas ka's mining resources such as Is proposed by Rex Beach in a plan submitted to the Federal goyer". ment. is a visionary idea. one whicf Beach borrowed from Seattle news papermen and which is decidedly impractical applied to Alaska as a whole. declares B. D. Stewart, com rassioner for the Territorial Bureau of Mines, according to the Alaska Press.
 Tn the first place, the army au- thorities would probably never con> sent to allow their planes to serve as means of contact between isolat- ed groups of prospectors, such as Beach suggests Stewart said 'ln case of a national emergency the planes would then be unavailable.
 Even if they were available tie plan to map Alaska from the air would fail because most outcrop- pings are not visible from the air in the interior regions. due to heavy coverings oi moss and tundra.
 You certainly can't map rocks when ycu cant see them!"

Area Already Mapped

All the southeastern Alaska area has already heen mapped, Stewart disclosed. and nearly every distri f in the territor has an excellent geo logical map. He admitted, howev- CT, that some are lacking in details. and that a more intensive geological survey would be beneficial in isol- ated spots.
 Regarding the distribution of husky young men througout AL aska to prospect, Stewart raised the significant query Who's going to look after them? Who will see that they work and don't loaf? Who will see that their efforts are bent in a constructive direction?'
 The building of cabins and sluice boxes the ability to size up a creek and tell where the best placer min ing can be done. the knowledge of what to do with tailings are items of importance which will have to be

The Raleigh chamber of commerce, we see by

has been consolidated with state headquarters here
Let il be understood that the Hole has conclud-

consist solely of servcing loans and hquidating its
operations 1t is reasonable to presume therefore,
that no such personnel or farflung organization as
obtained during its heyday is necessary or defensi-

which the Raleigh chamber may or may not be

lead in this criticism.
The difficulties Of the government in backing

any responsible member of the administration at
Washington find expression in a book, Whose Con

OF agriculture.
Unless the letter and spirit of this book are re-
undated by the administration at the earliest pos
sible moment. preferably by demanding the resig-
nation of Wallace himself the task of inducing the
American people to travel along with the New Deal
in the hope that the leader himself will shift to the
right will be unspeakably difficult.
Wallace makes the amazing statement that If az

PREACHER OR PROPHET?

another are everlastingly pressing the ministers Tor

church has any singular mission above that OF pro-
