 PLACER FIELDS
Charlie Murray Developing Ground Near Jack
 Wade

Fortymile mining outfits have had the best season in many years this past summer, according to Charlie Murray, mining man from that sec- ton, stopping over at the Gastineau. No operation experienced any dearth of water and all operations produced well. Murray said.
 MT. Murray is prospecting ground he holds options on near Jack Wade on Uhler and Canyon Creeks. In the past years work. MT. Murray and his crew have put down between 50 and 60 holes to bedrock on Uhler Creek, using boilers. thawing and mucking out, as the ground on Uhler Creek, contrary to that on Canyon Creek, is frozen throughout.
 Bedrock along Uhler Creek, where Mir Murray is working, is 12 feet deep on the average and has shown fair yardage values in gold. On the strength of the values received from the shafts put down. it is expected that drill work will be started this fall. Checking of the drill sheets will then determine the coure oi further development work.
 Uhler and Canyon Greeks are new creeks as far as mining opera tions go and the claims on which MT. Murray holds options belong to J. R. Morris, Jack McHugh and
 Charlie Johnson. the original To- cators.

A SL I S\O
 

All along, Bill McKechnie has been recognized as a mighty smart base ball manager. The excellent man. ner in which he has brought the Boston Bees along this summer has added a new feather or two in his cap. And with the wholesale man. agerial changes which are threat ened to take place after the cur rent season has run its course, Mc- Kechnie finds himself in nice spot.
 The most amazing developments in connection with the Bees sud den rise off the floor was due to tn manner in which McKechnie handled his hurling staff. Starting out with a group of hurlers who promised little, he juggled his pitch CTS so that his team proved any thing but a doormat for the rest 1 of the league. His particular de- light all season has been to wreck the hopes of proud contenders for the pennant.
 It wasn't just luck that enabled McKechnie to turn up with a pair of rookie pitchers who have proven real finds and between them have turned in more thon half of the total victories scored by the Bees, Jim Turner and Lou Fette are the pair.
 They are veteran" roookieS in as much as both have celebrated their thirtieth birthdays. They had been toiling in the minors for years, other managers having felt that they were not big league pitchers. Under McKechnie's guidance they blossoomed out into stars and as the teams rolled down the home stretch into September, each boast ed IS victories, including four shut outs apiece.
 1 Turner won l2 games for Indian apolis last seasGn. Back in 1924 he had a brief try-out with the Red Sox, but since that time major league teams overlooked him. Start ing with Winsom- Salem in 1925 Turner played with Greensboro Portsmouth, Norfolk and Hollywood before moving on to Indianapolis lin 1883. Fette grabbed most of the American Association pitching hon.

FOUR HUNTSMEN PLANNING TRIP

For the fifth consecutive year, the ducks and geese, and trout and deer are going to get visitors from Simpso MacKinnons forty-foot gasboat Nora The visitors, burd- ened with guns and tackle, will be Simpson MacKinnon,r Minard Mills, pr. George F. Freeburger and Earle Hunter.
 The four hunters will leave this weekend to make a leiSurely cir cult of Admiralty Island, giving the trout a fling at Lake Eva and Warm Springs Bay, dropping an- chor wherever the will moves them, for two weeks away from the cares that be in a booming Capital City; hunting on a mountain that takes the fevered eye, duck and goose shooting on flats that stir with the beat of web-footed fowl.
 There is one sad note to this symphony of a sportsman's dream. It is a case of four staunch friends going out and one hapless friend staying home. It is Joe Johnson of Thomas Hardware, whose work will keep him among the furniture and paints, and Joe is sad for once before this thing has happened to Joe.
 That is the tale of four hunters who are jumping with expectation and one who submerges in waves of sorrow.

Chicago Cubs Also Win But They Slip Back Games

(By Associated Press)

Like a man trying to go up and down on an escaiator, the Cubs are eliding back each time they take a forward step. They thought they took Q good one when they whipped the Reds yesterday until the Giants took both halves of the doubleheader with the Bees.
 Today the Cubs are four and one half games behind with six left to play to the Giants nine. If the Gi- ants win four, they are in the top and the pennant winners, no mat ter what the Cubs do.

 A compromise was MT. Roosevelt s obvious out. First, he decided to limit the cost as Tar as the Federal government is concerned to $4,000.- 000 Then he figured out a tenta- tive plan to have the states, coun- ties and towns set up election ma- chinery for an unemployment census day" late this year and pre- sllmably bear the cost themselves.

 Ingenious Device
 Ingenious among amusement de- vices conceived by the children dur ing their enforced vacation is the Special Communication System now operating from the homes of Chee Hermann, Florence Hawkes. worth, Frankie Olson, Erling Os- wald, Robbie Phillips, and Mary Stewart. The arrangement consists of a series of string lines between the homes, in series formation. The sender clips a note or bag oi cookies on the string with a clothes pin, and the recipient pulls the string (clothesline style) till the article arrives.
 Frankie Olson and Erling Oswalc have added airmail service by clip ping model planes to the lines, ano the only disadvantage which now clouds the pleasure is that someone may think of putting text books or 1 the circuit.

was standing with his pal reading
the latest news bulletins on the

said: That's darned considerate OF
those Chinese"
