 He further said that the rush would commence 30 days after congress- approval of the area which was withdrawn by former President Coolidges proclama- ton in 1925. Before that time exploration work was negligible, but recently they established the presence of highly mineralzed deposits of gold, silver and cop per moybdenum and other valuable mineral The area is scared by recedng glaciers that the deposits are exposed so that you almost prospect with field glass and nearly throw your hat into highly mineraized belts"

Abnormal Heat Dry Spell s. E.
 Alaska Broken
(By The Associated Press)

UNDATED, June IS, - South eastern Alaska's prolonged dry spell was broken by rain yester- day, as a low pressure area nov ed over British Columbia, but abnormally warm weather and forest fires still ragged in the in- terior and also along Kenai Pen insula.
 Rain checked a 70-acre fire on Prince of Wales Island this morn ing. The temperature mounted to 85 degrees in the shade at Seward it was reported.
 The Chugach National Forest was reported free of fires, but conditions are serious where fir es are still raging in the forest and grass in the vicinity of Ho- mer.
 Fairbanks had a temperature of o7 in the shade, the highest ever recorded for the early part of June, on Wednesday, which also marked the 9th day with the tenn perature remaining over 30.
 Since the first of the month children have romped in the streets in sun suits, bathing suits and others wore the lightest clothing available. Ice cream was in great demand. There are only a few small forest and brush fires, but the situation is danger ous.
 Along with the heat citizens are buying tickets rapidly in a midsummer drive for a winter ice carnival.
 Anchorage merchants found a mounting demand for tropical hel mets, for which arriving pilots brought orders from interior points. In addition to protection from the sun, the helmets afford ed the best possible support for mosquito nets.

day that he had learned that John
Sullivan" who died last week in the
Hamilton city jail from alcoholism,
was in reality Frank Fries, native
of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Fries succumbed in cell less than
an hour after he had been taken into
custody at the Fourth Ward park on
charges of intoxication. He was known
to his friends as "Baldie" and had
resided in Hamilton for several years.
The coroner stated that he is en-
deavoring to locate the mans rela-
tives in Pittsburgh and, if successful,
will request that they claim his body
which has been buried here. The vic
TINS identity, Coroner Cook stated,
was established by friend who said
''Baldie" was about 60 years old.

Visiting the Great Lakes Exposi-
ton in Cleveland, Miss Olga P.
Lowitz, 841 Main street, Hamilton,
won free long distance telephone
call to any point in Ohio from The
Ohio Bell Telephone Company's ex-
hibit in the Hall Of Progress.
Miss Lowitz picked lucky number
to win the call and chose to call home
and talk with her mother, Mrs. Re-
becca Lowitz. Miss Lowitz has been
vacationing at Chippewa Valley Camp,
near Cleveland, and spent several
days at the exposition.
Miss Lowitz's call was one of many
free demonstration calls being made
from the telephone exhibit in Cleve-
land daily. Visitors are invited to
make out applications for calls with
out charge, and those holding lucky
numbers win a chance to talk with
friends or relatives anywhere in the
state. To demonstrate long distance
service, others are furnished receiv-
ers and are permitted to listen in on
the demonstration calls. AS many as
12O persons may enjoy this good
natured "eavesdropping" during a
|call
Listening in is great fun for the
spectators. Many humorous incidents
arise when the party receiving the
call ignores the operators warning
that others are listening
One Of two men who had come to
Cleveland with their wives won a call
to friend back home.
IF we can ditch our wives" he told
the friend, 'we're going to a good
burlesque show"

port and greeted her with breezy
Hello" and announced he was hav-
ing swell time at the exposition.
What the heck are you doing up
there?" replied his wife in a tone that
indicated that the gentleman was
playing hockey
The husband lost no time informing
his mate that hundred laughing ex-
position visitors were listening and
that maybe it would be better to go
into the reason for his presence at
the exposition later.
A cautious youth, calling his father
in Findlay, took no chances. Before
his father could speak, the youngster
repeated the operators warning
Now, dad, don't do any swearing, .
he advised There's lots of people
