|L|TTLE'S GOLF HIT

Can't Correct Own Faults as
He Speeds Over Country

BY BILL BONI,

NEW YORK, May 17.-Lawson Lit
tie, long hitting Californian, who was
some punkins" as a golf amateur, but
has been fairly small potatoes since
becoming q pro. IS giving himself two
more years before he starts worrying
about his game.
Right now the former United States
and British amateur champion hasn't
the time either to worry or to do any
thing about remedying some obvious
defects in his golf He's too busy with
an exhibition and lecture program. He
has six exhibition dates and expects
to play in the Toledo four ball tourna-
ment before he attempts to qualify
May 81 at Chicago for the United
States open.
He's been busy ever since he turned
pro in April. 1886. the year after his
American and British amateur cham
pionships.
Goes "a, 900 Miles in Year.
II kept . log of my wanderings the
first year." said the square built
youngster, who calls San Francisco his
home but doesn't see it more than
three weeks out Of every IL months.
The log showed that in 365 days I
played about 275 18-hole rounds-in
competition, exhibition and practice
besides travelling $4,000 miles"
That sort of schedule has prevented
him from trying to regain the scoring
form he showed as an amateur. When
there's something wrong with q par
ticular department OF his game he
hasn't time to get of by himself and
work on it.
While Little has yet to do anything
in the National Open that could be
compared to his amateur performance.
he still doesn't have cause to be
ashamed Of his record. In two years
and two months as pro he has Won
three tournaments, the Canadian
Open In 1886 and the San Francisco
match play and Shawnee Open last
year In addition. he ranks among
the top IS money winners for l6

Natural Form Of Relaxation.
At the moment. though. Little is
interested in seeing golf adopted and
sponsored more widely by schools and
colleges. not with the idea of max
ing the game q major interscholastic
or intercollegiate sport, but to give
graduates q natural form OF relaxa-
ton.
IT'S all very we'll for boy to play
four years of high school football and
four years in college. but what will
he do when he gets out?" Lawson asks.
If he has no form Of exercise he'll
grow fat and stodgy. But If he has
learned to play golf in school he can
keep that up until he's an old man."
Lawson is very positive on that
"old man" point. AS proof, he points
to his grandfather. who hit his first
golf ball at the age of 70.

OFFICIAL SEES
 OPPORTUNITY,
 HELP NATIVES
Zimmerman, Hirst, McGinty in from Extended Trip
 Through North

With proper assistance and super vision. the lot of the Alaska native can be much improved and the na- tive people as a whole are striving for that improvement, according to William Zimmerman Jr., Assistant to Commissioner John Collier of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, who returned by plane from Fairbanks yesterday with General Superin- tendent c. M. Hirst, and Supervis- ing Construction Engineer Earl D. McGinty after an extended trip over the Territory which took him as far north as Point Barrow.
 There is much to be done to help the native people, MT Zim- merman said, but I believe that with direction they can help them selves and better their conditions generally. I doubt very much If the natives can be made into farmers. but they can develop their resources and seem eager to do SO"
 The liquor problem is still a seri- ous one with the native people, the official found, just as it is with the white man, he smilingly added But he said there appears to be a feeling in most of the villages. not only among the natives but among the white traders. that if arrange ments could be made to bar the sale of liquor in the community the residents would be better off The traders. in most instances. he found. have to carry the persons who spend their money in the fall for liquor during the winter, with the result that the trader fails to profit in the long run even if he does sell the liquor in the original instance.
 The wide difference in conditions in various parts of the Territory im- pressed MT Zimmerman. and 70 consider the native people of Alaska as a group, he pointed out, would be much like comparing the native people of the States in one group. Conditions in the Arctic, for exam pie, are as widely different from those in Southeast Alaska as are the eastern and western seaboards of the United States.
 Aimed toward improving the con- dition of the natives. MT. McGinty made a thorough study of housing and construction needs during the trip of the officials and these plans will be gone into along with other information gleaned in an effort to bring better living to the Alaskan native, NJ. Zimmerman said.
 The official is planning to leave for the States on the next available boat south, and hopes to take tlla Denali the last of the week.

BORDEN RETURNS FROM STARTLING YAk0bl NICKEL
Taking 1900 Pounds of Fresh Rock Back for
 Mill Tests

John Borden. eminent sportsman from Chicago. ana official of the Nickel Corporation of America, re- turned yesterday from Yskobi Is land and sampling work of nickel ores there.
 Borden said he is taking l500 pounds of fresh ore broken from the main ore body and will have mill tests and assays made to de- termine exact value of the nickel in the body.
 According to Borden, It appears good. and if it runs one a quarter percent nickel, we'll mine"
 Other assays, taken under un- scientific conditions, Borden sad, showed amazing assays hard to be- heye.
 We went back into the tunnel and cleaned off the face of the ere with a few shots of powder and then took the clean ore from be- hind that. We got twenty-some diff ferent sacks of samples, taking the ore as it came Borden said, and if I'm not mistaken, it runs very we'll"
 The ore contains on the average about half as much copper as nickel and lies in such a formation that should mining be done, Borden be- lieves a quarrying proposition would handle it.
 Borden is flying to Prince Rupert from here tomorrow and will then go east.

 Saying it is too early to forecast the 1899 tourist season. Baker said, however, that 1t appears that Ju- neau will be host to three conven- ton boats within less than a month
 The Seattle Chamber of Com merce tour will probably be in Ju- neau early in June, the National Editorial Association around mid June, and the Rotarians about the same time" Baker said

 Four other resolutions effecting Alaska were passed. Ellis reported.
