 Wellman Holbrook will present facts about the project as a mem Der of the Permanent Swimming Pool committee which has been in- vestigating the situation.

A|RPLANE PILOT
 MAKING SUCCESS IN MINING GAM E
Power Engineer from Nome Country Reports Good
 Season for Many

Hugh Ford, Engineer in Charge of Power for the Arctic Exploration Company, operating two dredges at lCandle, stopping at the Gastineau on his way below for the winter, says three gold placers of more than usual interest have been uncovered in the Nome region this summer.
 One, according to Ford, is that of Sam Godfrey's, on the high reaches of the Kougarok River where promising showings have been found in ancient river chan nels Godfrey, a Fairbanks man, spent considerable money in drill ing operations this season, the re- suits of which may be seen in ex- banded machinery development next summer.
 Frank Whaley, veteran Nome air plane pilot, had the most astounding success of the year. It was Whaley whose plane was struck by light ming this summer, wing ripped clean of fabric, and a crash result ed in which engine and dash panel were broken loose from the plane by the terrific impact as the plane struck the surface of a small lake. Nobody was killed or severely in iured. and the same luck followed Whaley into gold mining
 He is said to have taken a small inadequate appearing outfit into Nugget Creek near Nome with his partners and cleaned up between forty and fifty thousand dollars in gold when the intention had been only to prospect in the few holes put down.
 Bill Oliver, from Fairbanks, and party of three men also have what may be big placer field in the next few years, although bad luck dogged them all summer. It is understood the men were prospecting the val ley of river about thirty miles up the Yukon
 High waters that forced the men to mount their light airplane drill on a raft brought down a heavy run of ice a few weeks ago and the men had to walk out of the coun- try, being lucky to save their lives as well as their outfit.
 The men found a little coarse gold, and if pay is found in gen. eral next summer, the prospect should become big thing as the drainage of the river in question is 250 miles in extent.

Sidelights Are Thrown,
 Stock Market Situation
(Continueo rom Page One)

Tax officials there are surprised at the coincidence that the market began Its sag quickly after the 1887 tax bill was introduced. But they hesitate to say it is merely coin cidence. They concede the tax may be one of the causes of the drop, but doubt if it was the "precipitat- ing factor" pictured by the attor- ney.
 And another thing, the tax att torney said big profits made on the rise would have meant large tax receipts to the treasury. But the sudden drop will allow traders to take tax losses" so that those earnings will be largely neutralized.
 That may be true to a degree, says the Treasury, but keep in mind that a lot of short traders made money on the declining market. And the people why play the mar ket short are mostly in the upper income brackets. The Treasury, says one of the officials, will enjoy taxing traders who profited on the decline.

ESCAPES DEATH BY MINUTES IN
 AIRLINE CRASH
Chichagof Mining Man Gets Of Airliner Before
 Fatal Crash

How it feels to disembark from an airplane and have it crash shortly after can be told by Paul Sorenson, Superintendent of the Hirst Chichagoff mining Company who is stopping at the Gastineau on his way to the company's oper- ations at Kimshan Cove.
 While travelling through the Rocky Mountain country, sightsee- ing mining regions, Sorenson had occasion to fly with United Airlines in the plane that crashed with 19 persons aboard who met their deaths
 Sorenson had gotten off the plane at Cheyenne. The plane crashed only a matter of minutes after it left the Cheyenne airport.
 After six weeks of travel through the Grass Valley and Mother Lode country, Sorenson has come back to Alaska with plans for more de- NtlOpultllb WOIk de I1HSI-OiiiOHdSOll and the newly acquired Krestoff ores.
 A new dry room will be built at Hirst and the bunkhouse will be enlarged New heavy machinery was also ordered by Sorenson for the Kimshan Cove mine. A diamond drill outfit will be set up on the Krestoff Island property located by Cedric Davis of Juneau on which the Hirst-C Chichagoff has taken op- tions.
