WrangelI Men Suffer PrivatiOn After Wreck

Caught in a heavy Stikine wind with a broken engine clutch, lit- tie 34-foot boat with Charles Wright and H. Scribner aboard. went on the rocks early Wednesday morning at Beacon Point on Zarembo island. Af- ter suffering much hardship the men were rescued Saturday night at St. Johns harbor where they had made their way through the timber and brought next day to Bishop Rowe General Hospital at Wrangell. Scribner had an injured shoulder and frosted feet, but Wright had both feet brozen and was in bad shape.
 Wright and Scribner left Wran- gell in the afternoon of December 26 to take supplies to two trappers camped at Hanford's Anchorage in Rocky Pass. They spent all day Monday in camp, leaving early Tuesday morning for Wrangell At Beacon Point on Zarembo island across from Vank island and 14 miles from Wrangell, about 11:3O that night, the clutch on the engine broke and they started to drift ashore. As soon as possible the anchor was put out. Bottom was close to shore as the water ther was quite deep.
 Boat Goes On Rocks
 Heavy seas began to pound the little craft as a sUong wind blew down the Stikine. The men found it impossible to keep their footing so lay down in their hunks hoping to ride out the storm. About O. clock Wednesday morning the an chor line parted from being frozen and the boat struck the reef. Both men jumped ashore in the bowling darkness of the storm and did what ner got back on the boat to get the duffle bag which contained dry clothing and a gun. AS he jumped to the reef the second time the boat rolled and threw him off.
 The fall under the boat stunned llm dHQ Ills dIHl, caught III d lOCh crevice, was badly wrenched. In the darkness. Wright. who had seen 1im jump, could not see what had be- come of him. Scribner finally an- swered his call so Wright, watching chance for the boat to roll to sea- ward, finally pulled him out and took him up on the beach.
 Little Salvaged
 Wright went aboard the boat gain to get an axe and whatever supplies he could szlyage. The wa -. mds waist high in the cabin and the axe could not be located. He eized two cans of milk, a can of co.lee, some prunes, a small piece of bacon and a coffee pot, all of which he put in a sack. He was able to grab a handful of matches and escape from the boat.
 The men, freezing cold in their wet clothes, made for the woods. The crust of the deep snow broke with every step. With the coming of daylight, a small fire was final ly achieved and some coffee made.
 Making a fire without an axe was a difficult matter as every twig was

Ina J. Fisherman Gets His Bait In Novel Way

A fisherman on the Ina J showed dock watchers this afternoon an economical way to bait up" for the black cod banks.
 With hank of line two feet long and herring on a halibut hook, the fisherman dangled the lure over the side a few inches under water. Unwilling tom cod swam hungrily towards the bait, not seeing the wicked short handled halibut gaff in the mans other hand.
 A swift pass with the gaff and a tom cod lay Hopping on the deck before he had even touched the al turing bait.
 The cagey fisherman kept that up for half an hour and before he was through had at least hundred pounds of fish ready for the bait board And it didn't cost a cent.

MINING INDUSTRY
HURT BY MEXICO
Government Gives Promise
to Soften Effect of II Per
Cent Export Levy.
ey the Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY. Aug. 6.-Govern-
ment action to soften the effect of .
IL per cent export tax boost due soon
was virtually promised the big mining
industry today, but the industry-90
per cent foreign-pemained gloomy
Even though the treasury decided
to pull its punch" in assessing the
tax. spokesmen said. the new levy.
prospect of higher freight rates and
labor's increasing demands made the
outlook for the future poor.
. Reliable figures indicate the mining
industry is IS per cent United States
owned, II per cent English and 4
per cent otherwise foreign and only
10 per cent Mexican.
Production Is Promised.
Arguments Of mining company OIL
Gals, cooperative societies and labor
leaders induced the treasury to promise
virtual reduction of the new tax
through setting arbitrary domestic
prices below world prices for mineral
products.
Silver, for instance, would be val
ued at half its world market price, so
that producers actually would pay
only 6 per cent on proceeds Of sales
Of the metal shipped abroad.
Congress approved the II per cent
export tax increase last week at Presi-
dent Lazaro Cardenas' behest, and
publication in the official gazette, max
ing 1t effective, is expected daily.
Dual Purpose In Tax.
The new tax has dual purpose
TO boost government revenues and to
keep the cost of living down through
subsidies to importers of necessities.
The government argued the mining
industry and all other exporters could
pay it, since drop of the peso from
$50 to to the United States dol
lar had greatly increased their peso
profits.
Treasury experts figured the new
levy would bring in 100000, 900 pesos
(S20, ,000.000) yearly, of which they
proposed to hand over half to i'm
porters as subsidies.
