MINES DEPEND
ON STRIKE END,
SAYS PIONEER
Miner from Flat Is Passing
Through Juneau with
Son on Business Trip

1.-THE first white man to cut trail
from Flat to the Kuskokwim,' PeJer
Muscovich, is now stopping in Jul
neau at the Gastineau Hotel with
his son John, awaiting passage
south on the Princess Norah.
The maritime strike must end be-
fore the breakup Mr.. Miscovich con-
tends, or this country will receive
perhaps the greatest blow ever"
With the price of gold as it is
now, Alaska is on the edge of its
biggest mining development, next
summer Il am speaking for the
section around Flat from what 1
know, but we have heard that it is
much the same throughout the Ter
tory" Mr.. Muscovich said.
There are several new outfits
planning to go in around Flat next
summer, he said, not high-grade
claims at all, but ones that can be
profitably worked at the present
gold price. But, if the strike is not
soon over, the miners will be unable
to get their equipment in, which
will not only mean goodbye to all
new production, but will seriously
curtail many established workings
Mr.. Muscovich continued.
At Best In 1910
Mr.. Muscovich first went into Flat
/ in 1910, and has remained there ever
since. He and his wife have raised a
family of seven children there. 1T
has not always been easy to get
along, but we have managed and
have sent our children to the Uni
versity of Alaska" Mr.. Muscovich
said. "They fly to College in the
fall and return home to help work
in the mine during the summer"
MY son, John, and are now on
our way Outside on business and
will return through Juneau March
ILL.," he continued. I'VE have an
automobile in Seattle and will drive
south to San Francisco. We too,
need some new machinery. John
and l we're out two years ago and
drove over much of the States"
! On Otter Creek
J Mr.. Muscovichs mine, known SIM
ply at pete Muscovich's, is about
two miles out of Flat ON Otter
Greek, and is an hydraulic working
Mr.. Muscovich admits doing quite
well with his mine since the gold
price went up. But" he said,
rather ruefully, cit seems that any
time you can take any extra out
of the ground, there is always a
place for you to put it right back
in

PAA passengers held up at White

the blizzard resulted in the trains
becoming derailed. 1T wasn't at all
bad" Mr.. Muscovich declared. ut

through in plenty of time, and that
is all that counts"

WALKER WOULD
LIMIT SOCIAL
SECURITY AIDS
Senior Senator Is Not in
Favor of Territorial
Liquor Control

Although reserving most of his
opinions until the session is dnder-
way, Senator Norman r. Walker,
who arrived in Juneau from Ket-
chikan early Sunday morning on
the Bureau of Fisheries vessel Crane,
has expressed a new thought in re-
gard to the Territory's position on
Social Security.
Senator Walkers idea is that all
persons employed in the Territory,
including those in seasonal work,
shall be taxed to build up fund
for the Territory from which only
such persons who have established
a years residence in Alaska can
benefit.
1.-THE seasonal laborers come into
the Territory and take all out that
they can" Senator Walker stated.
1T is not discriminating to tax them
for the Territory's benefit, and the
share they would pay in would en-
able the Territory to distribute
benefits to its citizens much larger
than otherwise"
Is Senior Member
Senator Walker, who is better
known to his friends in Ketchikan,
where he was Mayor from 1880 to
1882, as Doc" was elected to the
Senate of the Territorial Legisla-
ture in 1882, and reelected last No
vember, making him the Senior
Senator of the body this year
Senator Walker stated that all his
family is fine, including his daugh-
ter, at the University of Alaska.
Ketchikan is in excellent sfNpc,
considering the strike and the sea-
son, Senator Walker declared. The
outlook there for the next fish sea-
son is better than ever, but is de-
pendent, of course, on the settling
of the strike. So far no direct re-
Spouse has been received by the city
and various organizations to their
several messages asking strike re-
lief.
Among the various other questions
likely to occupy most of the time
at the coming session, Senator Wal
ker declared liquor regulation to be
| the one outstanding. While having
no concrete plan of his own, Sena-
tor Walker stated his feeling, and
that of majority of his constit-
uents, is that complete Territorial
control is not the best solution.
Additional Revenue
Senator Walker supports the po-
sition taken by other legislators
that additional revenue needed by
the Territory should be levied upon
the gold mines rather than by in
creasing the taxes on the fish in
dusty Senator Walker agrees with
the opinion that the fish industry
T is now taxed to the limit that it
can we'll afford to pay. He believes
chat additional revenue will be re-
lquired by the Territory, but thinks
lit will be this Legislatures problem
to look elsewhere than the fish bus
mess for it.
Senator Walker is looking forward
to mighty interesting session, ell
N all.

Two Elephant Tails
From India Are Christmas
Gifts to Beverly Junge

Little Beverly Junge, pretty two
vear-old daughter of Assistant Chief
of Police and Mrs. Kenneth Junge,
received a Christmas present today
that was probably unique among
Christmas presents in the United
States.
Given thousand guesses, and the
guesses would never made it, SO
we might as well tell you what it is.
Two elephant tails. They were
sent ito the little Junge' by Bur-
mese girl in India who has cores
bonded with Mrs. Junge ever since
they were in grade school.
Just the significance of the ele-
phant tails from India, where the
elephant is sacred, is not known
They are used in napkin rings and
charms, the letter said.
Mrs. Junge's correspondent in In
dia is Priscilla Pansy Ba, recently
married to Porfirio Thra Pc Ba
She is a college graduate anc
through their long correspondence
a close friend of Mrs. Junge.
If Beverly lives a life more thar
usually charmed for an attractive
blonde child, maybe it will be Pris-
ella Pansy's elephant tails thai
have brought her luck.
Anyway, one can be pretty sure
that she's the only little girl in the
country who received two elephant
tails for a Christmas present.

Miss Anderson is one OF those sing
ers who does not believe IN sparing
herself as do many OF her famous
colleagues. Her program places great
demands upon her vocal and emotional
reserves. For the magnificent choice
of her programs, intended to satisfy
the most critical, she deserves special
praise. However, be it a word Of
warning, exertion may have its con-
sequences, for her voice showed at
times signs of fatigue. Not that it
was very evident or disturbing in any
way, yet once or twice the connecting
link between her velvety chest tones
and her middle register was missing,
and once her vocal chords did not
respond Hers is the voice which can
often pass for dramatic soprano in
timbre. one having fine additional
lower register. Her trills and runs
in the Haendel Der Fluete WEIGH
Gefuel" showed its remarkable flexi-
bility. Her German and French are
we'll enunciated; not so much can be
said of her Italian

Frederick Feher, as Guest Con-

to Series Of Programs.
THE Navy Band Symphony Orches-
L ira, under the direction of Lieut..
Charles Benter, and with Frederick
Feher as guest conductor, last night
terminated another popular season Of
musical classics in the Navy Yard
sail loft.
The series has been marked con-
sistently by earnest and, for the
most part, talented efforts Of the
service men. Lieut.. Benter has made
it his business to offer works which
tend to appeal to every one. But
while he has featured such popular
compositions, he has not chosen all
the pieces one hears every day. In
fact, many of the selections were
ambitious, even pioneering.
Last evenings program was typical
of the orchestra. Additional interest
due to the appearance Of Mr. Feher,
versatile CzechoSlovakian theater per-
sonage, made the entertainment more
complete as the composer led the
orchestra in two movements from his
"Robber Symphony

around fantasy-musicale of the same

Marian Anderso
Makes Progress
in Finesse.

- REETED by prolonged, en-
thusiastic applause, Marian
Anderson appeared last night
~ in recital before crowded
auditorium at the Armstrong High
School. The concert was under the
auspices of the Howard University
concert series. The reception awarded
the world famous colored contralto
Snd ovations after every number elo-
quently bespoke of the esteem IN
which her art is held in the Capital
and Of her growth in popularity since
her last visit.
It was interesting to observe her
progress made in greater flnesse IN
the delivery of some of the numbers
heard here before and which, at the
time, were considered the acme of
perfection Among these are Schu-
berts Der Doppelgaenger" and Ave
Maria" While in the latter Miss
Anderson understands how to bring
out the devotional element and shows
remarkable breath control, Der
Doppelgaenger" is a masterpiece in
dramatizatlon and tone color. The
veiied, sinister voice in the opening
bars of the song as if coming from
the great beyond, rising in power to
a stirring effect of an anguished out
cry, was a mastery bit Of tone grada-
ton. This execution alone should
earn for Miss Anderson her claim to
greatness. There were other outstand-
ing numbers: "Bist du bel mir" by
Bach. Monteverdis dramatic aria
from "Orpeus' and Meyerbeer's aria,
20 Pretres de Baal" Of the songs
in the lighter mood Schubert's "Frue-
lingstraum' and Die Forelle' (en-
core), Respighis Rain and "Canto
di Primavera" by Clmara were de-
lightful exhibitions of bel canto.
