Everybody is wondering just what
is to become Of Simone Simon. After
a few days work in "Danger-Love
at Work" she was taken out Of the
cast and Ann Sothern substituted.
The heroine was supposed to be an
American girl educated in France,
and Simone's heavy accent was just
too much to be convincing. Twenti-
eth-Century-Fox officials still have
faith in her, and say that when they
find just the right story for her they
will put her to work again.
The dinner party that marked the
end of the recent Twentieth-Cen-
tury-Fox convention put on show
that included about a million dol
lars worth of talent. Irving Berlin
sang Remember" the Ritz Broth
ers made the rafters ring with hi
larious shout by their impromptu
fooIishment, but Eddie Cantor
walked off with the honors of the
evening when he arrived in blond
curls and baby dress and did an
imitation of Shirley Temple. Pretti-
est girls at the party were Loretta
Young, who came with Merle Ober-
on's former fiance, David Niven,
and Alice Faye, who came with her
constant beau, Tony Martin. Incl

NEW MINES HAVE BEEN
 GREAT FORTUNE MAKERS

There is an old saying that what man has done, man can do" says the Alaska Weekly. We believe that this applies particularly to the mining in- dustry where there are great virgin tracts of mineral land -.g@i.ine devel- opment. We all know that the big ore outcr0ps that lured the pioneers into this western wilderness of that day have been pretty well discovered. We so know that great overburden- ed ol veins, as great and rich as those that lay exposed and were dis covered by the pioneers of the eos, -emaIn undiscovered and undevalOped.
 The man who wants to make a for tune has no more certain avenue ,han through the discovery and de velOpment Of a new mine We all know that there is some money to be made in old mines, but the cream has been taken of these old mines and how they are open to lessees who are satisfied with less wealth than can be made when the long chance is ta- ken and a new mining discovery is made.
 We do not know of Q more interest- ing character than the experienced mining man who undertakes the de velopment of a new mine after intense study Of its geology. The early day operators who made their fortunes in new mines through their own discov- cries or through the discoveries made 5y their grubstaked prospectoTs. H. 4. W Tabor of Leadville. gained worldwide fame and fortune through his grubstaking of Rische and Hook. -wo old prospectors, Tn the early days If Leadville, Colorado. Their discov- cry was accidental but It brought great fortune to Tabor.
 In their grubstake was a jug Of whiskey which proved so inviting that they decided to drink 1t before they had gone more than a mile from Leadville. When they had disposed of 1t. they concluded the spot at which they had stopped on Fryer Hill was as good a place as any to go for the sinking of a shaft. At a depth Of 90 feet they struck the rich ore body of the Little Pittsburgh mine, this being the one point of all others on the hill where the ore lay nearest the surface. This was the be- ginning of Tabor's great fortune. Stra1ton discovered a new mine in Cripple Greek and made millions So t IS ln the history Of mining all over the world-the new mines make the. greatest mining fortunes

COPPER TOO HIGH SAYS
 PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

WASHINGTON - President Roose- welt definitely indicated that the price of S6.00 a. ton for steel and a price of lie a pound for copper are unjus- tIfied and that increases in the prices af these commodities were between tt70 and three times what went 10 la- bor in increased wages.
 The President observed that some domestic mines could produce copper at profit for as low as 5c or 6c a pound. He said that Anaconda could produce at a profit on between Sc and Sc per pound while the present price was l7c.
 The President saw a danger sign in the sharp increase in durable goods consumption over the con- sumption of consumers goods. He emphasized that the time had come fer 9 greater distribution of the na-

Must Pay Strikers Back Magez

The Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has ruled against the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company in it's appeal of the rulings of the National Labor Relations Board As. g result, eleven men will be returned to work with pay for time lost since the strike of two years ago, not to exceed S500 per man, and employ meut will De offered to others who participated in the walkout at the mine in Juneau. The order became effective immediately, being agreed to by both sides. The gist of the ruling handed down was that there would be no more discrimination against employees, no domination of or interference with any union or la bor groups, and no restraint of col lective bargaining. Further, the com pany must offer work to Gottfried Isaak, Alvah Gillis, Arley Mullins, Jack Romer, Mentur Peterson, Ed ward Reviere, Melvin Carlson, Leon ard Hartsoch, Alex Kuproff, Sam Scott and Frank Pakator and give them back wages; all other former employees not being employed at the mine since the strike must be put back to work-25 per cent of them each 30-day month; and recognition must be withdrawn from the Juneau Mine Workers Association which ls a company dominated union. A strike was called at the Alaska Juneau mine May 22, 1885, about 800 men being involved. Wage increases of $1.15 g day were demanded, collective bargaining, and a closed shop.

Noted Engineer Says Gross Tax
 Is Penalty Tax

Harry Townsend mining engineer who will make his headquarters in Juneau for a few weaks Iu connection with different properties, says un- daubtedly the cessation of work on the Kensington mine north Of Juneau on a large scale and the throwing up of he option by the American. Smelt- ing < Refining Company, on the G6odpaster property. was caused by the gross tax on gold. imposed by the recent legislature.
 Townsend made the examination of the ksnSinvtrn property, which re- suited in it's purchase by A. B. Trites and at that time he assured Trltes that Alaska uas mine-miu ded and would not impose unfair taxes. lie says Trites was about to purchase a boat for SS,00o in Seattle to be used for a mine tender, and when he heard inc gross gold tax bill had been pas sed, he threw ID the sale and ordered all operations on the mIne to cease ether than assessment work
 Townsend said a tax on the net profits of gold mines would be fair; that a gross tax amounts to a per- zlty on development work and open ing of new prospects.
 For a short time the Dominion of Eanada collected a gross gold bullion taz but soon changed 1t to , per cent of dividends It takes years to de Teiop a raw prospect into a profitable IT ne, and Q gross tax on all gold produced in the interim acts as vet blanket to tiIe enthusiasm and perse- necessary over the years of development work. declared Town send

CompleteP Preparations
 For Church Carnival
Committee We'll Pleased With Cooperation of Parish Oners- Organizations Assisting Eliminated

Backed by every parishioner of St. Francis Xavier's church, large committee is forging steadily ahead and making rapid progress in the arrangements for the annual church carnival which will be conducted this year on the school grounds, August 18, 19, 20 and 21.
 Cooperation of the entire parish has been manifested by the manner in which the members have assist ed the committee in several in- stances upon which they were called. General Chairman George Flavin is highly pleased with the manner in which assistance is be- ing given, as are also the executive committee: Rev. Charles w. Bren- nan, honorary chairman; Rev. Da- vid M. OKeefe and Rev. John F. McTeague, treasurers; Rose Foley, financial secretry and Margaret Dillon, recording secretary.
 Programs of entertainment which will be presented each evening of the duration of the carnival are be- ing arranged by a committee con- sisting of Al Lawlor, Joseph Lezotte, 1melda Casey, Michael Goggins, Bill Clasby, and Pat Wallace.
 Plans for the arrangement of booths on the school grounds arc being laid out by several members of the committee. Every Hill organ. iZation including the Community Club, Gents of the Hill, Compan. ionship Club, Children of Mary, and Washington Hill A. c. have pledged support to the carnival.
 Community Club Wins
 Experiencing little difficulty in 10. eating the weak spots in the Tri-Y aggregation, the Hopeville Commu- nity club last night handed them a l0-4 setback to eliminate them from the Washington Park twilight base ball race.
 With the Tri-Y eliminated, the Gents of the Hill and Community club are now deadlocked for cham pionship of the first round. They will play of on Thursday night, with Ralph Ruggles of1lciating. The Hopeville squad has already won the second round and a victory on Thursday would give them the league title.

IRUMANIA HAS ARMS SCANDAL
Manufacturing Concern Gave War Secrets of
 Nations to Germany

Vienna. Aug. 1O--(UP)--AI1 arnla- ment scandal, in which Rumar- ian firm gave complete specified tions of French and Czecho-S -Slovak- ian war equipment to Germany, confronted King Carol of Rumania today according to reports which trickled through the Rumanian censor.
 The situation resulted in a cabinet crisis and possibly may develop into a constitutional crisis, it was report ed.
 Carol returned to Bucharest yes- terday, interrupting a vacation abroad
 He was confronted by multitude of questions over which the cabinet reportedly split, including, as usual, his red -haired sweetheart, Mazda Lupescu.
 Old Rivalry Blamed
 The crisis arose remotely, from the old rivalry of French ver- sus pro-German politicians but the immediate cause reportedly was the alleged arms scandal involving of- ficials of the war ministry and arms manufacturers.
 Reports said a certain company, which for many years had obtained contracts for Rumanian locomo- tives and cars, decided to manufac- ture artillery and other war mater ials. With the sympathy of the Rumanian war ministry 1t at- tempted to induce France to finance factories and to furnish skilled workmen. Paris reportedly was un- willing to encourage Rumanian war industry which would compete with Skoda of Czechoslavakia.
 Germany Approached
 The Rumanian concern then al- legedly approached Germany, which welcomed the proposals and asked the Rumanians to furnish blue- prints of artillery. machine guns and other weapons 1t contemplated man. ufacturing.
 Czechoslavakia learned of the af- fair, 1t was said, and demanded an explanation from Rumania.
