Gold Find En End;colt Mountains
 Speculated On By Alaska Miners

tContinued From Page One) region has been known as a rich mineral country for the past B years, U. G. Crocker said. MT. Crocker prospected in that area a. long the Koyukuk River in 1900 and found rich gold deposits. At that time when gold was selling for Sl6 an ounce, proSpectorS figured on a minimum day work amounting to $4 and a maximum to $17, using a hand rocker to take out the metal.
 "That is the richest min eral section left in the Ter ritory. It has been untou- ched by white men, said he.
 Jack McCord, old-time miner who prospected in the Endicott range district this past summer and fall, also reports rich possibili- ties.
 MT Crocker with his son, Eugene, Mir. McCord and L. McGee of the Star Air ways of Anchorage, plan to go to that region early next spring to prospect for gold. MT. Crocker plans to put in a drill, he said, He and his son spent several weeks last summer flying over the Koyukuk river district to determine the lay of the land. Next spring they eX- pect to use a boat to do their prospecting as Mir. Crocker thinks that more can be done by that means than by airplane.
 i George Light of the Bow man AirWays, who has been prospecting for years along the Koyukuk river. reports that region as rich mineral country. He dis counts the report of discov- cry of oil, however, as he recalls several geological parties being sent to that area six or seven years ago who reported that the oil was only a vegetable oil floating on the waters sur face.

GEORGE PROUD
ANDWHY NOT?

His name is George and he was
born on Washington's birthday in
Mount Vernon.
That's the proud boast of George
Herring, IL, who says his middle
name would have been Washing.
ton if his aunt hadn't objected and
convinced his mother that Ken
meth would sound a little more
modern.
George Kenneth Herring it is,
and George lives with his mother,
Mrs. Virginia Herring, at sos L St.
N. w. He was born at his grand
mothers home in Mount Vernon,
Va, February %, 1924, on land
once owned by the First President.
His grandfather, R. H. Pulley, is
employed at the historic mansion.
George has been studying the
life of Washington, No. l, but he
doubts that the First President
went through life without telling
one fib. He says:
Here I am IL years old, and
I guess I've told some lies al
ready. 1 don't think a man
could 60 all those years and
not tell any. It's too hard to
do"
Still he was forced to admit
that the cherry tree episode was
the crowning feature of George
WaShington'S early life.
George-by the grace Of his
aunt. -Kenneth-Herring doubts
that he will ever be President, but
he says he works as hard as he can
at his lessons at Gales School.
He has two brothers, Edwin.

come into the story. They did
not have the good luck 20 be born
