COPPER ORE TO BE
 SHIPPED OUT FROM NOME

Copper ore will be shipped thi: summer from Iron Mountain or the Seward Peninsula, to o smel. ter in Tacoma, Wash, by R. E Pherrin and Larry Calvin o1 Nome.
 "At the present price of copper the ore nets $11O per ton at the smeher," MT. Pherrin said. But the copper development is too big a proposition for us. In shipping out the ore, we are only keeping up our assessment work.
 We have seven claims on Iror Mountain, 52 miles by Cat trail north-northeaSt of Nome. There is a surface outcrop of the copper ore almost mile in length. Ou1 shaft is 80 feet deep. through the same ore all the way"
 MT. Pherrin said that assays oi the ore by William T. Burns, ter ritorial assayer at the University of Alaska, showed that the ore averages 54.5 per cent copper plus 1.82 ounces of gold to the ton.
 MT. Pherrin and MT Calvin are holding the property, sat.c:pa!- ing 30-cent copper.

Rocks System

"Substandard constitutions and
overzealous discipline" is right, If
they mean that some guys are nuts
before they reach the Rock and
others can't stand up under the
kind of planned hell the Rock
dishes up for them "a hours day.
OF course, I'm not one of those
psychiatrists, but I've studied the
Rocks system from the inside and
watched what it does to cons for
more than four years. say the
lawyers estimate of 10 per cent is
too low. Besides dozens of cons
who just aren't smart, I know OF
So who seem batty as bedbugs.
When tell you that the high num-
ber on the rock is 463, you can see
why I say 10 per cent is too low.
And it doesn't need the bug doc
tors "overzealous discipline" to
drive them nuts, either; the ordi-
nary, day-by-day routine does all
right by itself. It's by far the
toughest of any stir in America.
If the guy who doped it out was
aiming for a system to make cons
do time strictly on their nerves,
he scored a bull's-eye.

The Washington times., 1938-11-03

The lawyer is Jimmy Lucas
mouthpiece, trying to save Jimmy
and Whitley Franklin from the gas
box as they go to trial for "mur-
der on Alcatraz." He is trying
hard to show that maybe Jimmy
hasn't got all his buttons, and
isn't fit to be tried because ne
doesn't know the score.
A psychiatrist, one of those bug
doctors, has testified that Jimmy
isn't just right, but still isn't in
sane, and the mouthpiece asks
him: "If it appears that out OF a
group of $50 or 300 prisoners,
about ten per cent have gone in
sane, how would that influence
your opinion?"
The bug doctor, using language,
says: "It would make me suspect
something, either in the constitu-
ton of the men or in the treat
ment of the men-that there was
either a high ratio of subStandard
constitutions on the one hand, or
overzealous discipline on tn c
other"

One Bath a Week
Rule of The Rock

But they can't help that. One
bath a week is the Rocks allot-
ment.
Add all this together, and throw
in such minor inconvenience as
cold water for shaving, skin in
fectionS in the showers, and fleaS
all over the place, and cell blocks
where you dry up from heated air
at one end and freeze to death at
the other, and you begin to get the
idea.
I figured it out this way: Each
week has 168 hours, and every con
with the exception of very
few on outside detailS-spendS 100
of those inside. And every con,
regardless of detail, spends Ill
hours in his cell.
Maybe that has something to do
with the bug doctors "SubStandard
constitutions" from the physical
end.
All this time, remember, I've
been telling you about the ordinary
prison routine. And here comes
the discipline that the bug doctor
suggested might be "overzealouS." "
I don't know about that, but I do
know it's plenty tough, and it takes
good mana very good man
to.stand up under it without crack
ing.
The system is based on the
theory of "the greater the crime
the greater punishment" and it
usually works out that way.
If you keep your nose clean,
you're in "first grade" and have all
the privilege+all of them.

The yard, smallest prison yard
I've even seen or heard of, is
completely taken over by the soft
ball mob. Some cons try to play
dominoes or checkers, but give 1t
up after an outfielder climbs on
their backs to pull down a fly. The
ball players never quit, during the
entire six hours in the yard. Even

TRICK CADETS
TO Save LIGHT
BILLS SCORED
Mostly Fakes A. |. E.E.
Told by Expert

Gadgets and trick devices
peddled to home consumers Of
electricity with the promise they
will materially reduce electric
light bills are mostly fakes, A. L.
Powell, of the General Electric
Company, today told the conven-
tion Of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers at the May
flower.
In one demonstration, Powell
attached to a light a reflector,
coated with q nttle-used metal,
which sold for $3.50. and meas
ured the improved illumination.
Then he attached a 10-cent-store
socket extension to the light in
place Of the reflector. The 10-cent
contraption gave slightly better
results.
LIFE OF LAMPS
Powell made a demonstration
with three 60-watt bulbs, each
consuming the same amount of
power but varying greatly in vol
ume Of illumination. One bulb, he
said, has a life of 80 years, the
second 1000 hours, and the third
a life Of six hours. Statesmen have
been able to sell the brilliant bulb
because of its brightness, when in
reality its use was not economical.
IncandeScent lamps, he said,
have been well-StandardiZed' dur
ing the past 20 years. and any
made by reputable firms might be
expected to give maximum service.
He looked for no great improve
ment in incandescent lighting un-
til some radically new changes in
construction of the bulb are
evolved. He warned against high
pressure statesmen selling contrap-
tions at So or So, which cost only
10 or IL cents, and would not do
the things claimed for them.

GOLF SHOP
BROKEN OPEN
And ROBBED
ROBERT SHEHEE. WHO HAD
BEEN SUSPECTED. WAS
CAPTURED ON ROAD AND
BROUGHT TO KEY WEST

At 7:3O o'clock yesterday
morning, Hastings Piodela, in
charge of operations at the Key
West Golf Course, found the golf
shop broken open. Examination
showed that glass in three win
dows had been broken, also a
show case in the shop.
The state of affairs was report
ed to the sheriff's office. Officers
got on the trail and suspicion was
directed to Robert Shehee, who
had been around the shop for
several days, and had suddenly
disappeared.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Bernard
Waite started on the trail and
was going over the road in pur-
suit, as all indications pointed to
the highway, but after starting
changed his mind and returned to
the office of Chief Engineer B. M.
Duncan, of the Overseas High
way, to wire ahead.
Officer Joe Gallup, of the high
way official forces, was contacted
at Craig's and advised of the pos
sibility of catching the suspected
robber. He was given a thorough
description of Shehee, and de-
parted. Within a short time he
telephoned that he had caught
the suspect as he got down from
a truck on the road.
Immediately Deputies Ray Ell
wood and Joe Roberts started
over the highway, reached Off
Ger Gallup, received the prisoner
and was back in the city and She
hee was in Jail at 2 o'clock.
Loot recovered consisted OF
five dozen better grades of golf
balls, 10 golf balls of inferior
grades, packages of cigarettes,
about one dozen packs of cheese
crackers and SLIGO in cash. 1t
was also discovered. that while
making the haul Shehee had also
drank several cans of beer.
Charges are now being drawn
up for the prisoner, but it was
not known this morning what
they would be until an estimate
of the cost of the loot had been
arrived at to determine if the
charges would be petty or grand
larceny.
