Miss Goodwin's father is interested in the Flagstaff property.
 Mrs. Wilcox said her husband re- ported keen interest in the Ketchi- kan mining district. Considerable work is being done on the old Portland claims at Helm Bay which are now being operated by Bert R. Libe and promising results have been obtained. Ketchikan capital also is interested in the Baranof Mining Company on Kruzof Island where development work is now go- ing forward with prospects bright.
 At the Flagstaff, Mrs. Wilcox re- ported, a chute of high grade gold bearing ore, for which various min CTS and prospectors have been driv- ing intermittently since 1900, has been reached. MT. Wilcox has ex- pressed his belief the ore will aver age $35 ton and assays have run as high as $500 ton.
 The ore chute, which shows six feet wide and 55 feet long on the surface, has been tapped by 550- foot horizontal tunnel dug 200 feet below the outcrop. The mine is at an elevation of 1850 feet When first woak was started on the tun- nel in 1900, it was driven in 450 feet. Later, Tom Stevens and others dug in an additional 50 feet. Accordingly, Flagstaff Mining Com anpy, which is comprised of Pitts burgh and Wyoming miners, had to push the drift only an additional 50 feet. This firm, which has a lease on the ground, started work early last winter and now has IS men at the mine.
 Among those interested in Flag staff Mining Company who now are in Ketchikan are D. s. Morgareidge, c. B. Morgareidge, and w. M. Goodwin, all of Ten Sleep, Wyom- ing, and Henry J. Mesta and George w. Sheridan, both of Pittsburgh.
 The operators are extremely op- timistic that the mine, which now has a 15-ton mill on it, can be operated profitably as large-scale enterprise. It is located two miles by tractor road above Lower Sal mon Lake (Karta Lake), a mile and a half above Karta Bay.

CABINET LEADER .OF BAHAMAS ON
 PRINCE ROBERT
Says His Government t Spends Large Sum Adver-
 Using Climate, Scenery

l One of the most prominent lead CTS of the Bahamas, British soil off the coast of Florida, passed through Juneau last night on the Prince Robert and explained while praising Alaska's scenery that in the Ba- hamas the government spends thou sans of dollars in advertising to encourage tourist travel.
 The man was Aubrey K. Solo, mon, member of the Executive Council and leader of the Govern ment in the House of Assembly at Nassau. A member of the Gov ernor's Cabinet, Solomon is spokes- man for that group and introduces to the House the recommendations of the Governor and his eight ad- visors.
 we export spo-, -cs and toma- toes, but the tourist brings more money to the coffers,' Solomon ISaid.
 Each year, instead of giving subsidies, we appropriate $30,000 for advertising the Bahamas as a tourist resort and give small DOT tions of it to steamship companies to assist in their advertising pro- grams while at the same time we lsend out volumes of literature on our own. It pays good dividends. /" Interesting correlation b tw n the Bahams and Alaska, aside from the tourist crop, is the fact that the Bahams have a population of 60,000, about three-fourths black and Alaska more than 60,00O with smaller percentage of natives. | Doesn't Alaskas government ad- vertise this country's scenic attrac- l tions?" Solomon said
 | Most British colonies are official doms, Solomon said, but lin the Bahamas the people have the say in government.
 He explained that the Bahamas are governed by a body similar to London's Parliament, with an elec- tive body of 27 men making up the lower House of Assembly and mine appointive men making up the higher Legislative Council. | The Governor, has eight advisors flor his cabinet, three of them ap- }pointiye and five elective.
 | All this legislative work is vol luntary and officials are not paid
 Solomon said.
 We do all our work at night meet every year, usually for three months beginning in October, bar firing special sessions. and none o1

us are paid in the legislative end Of the government.
 Explaining this, Solomon said, We all have homes in the Ba- hamas and are interested in seeing the islands progress. We have an interest in the government = and then, too, such form of govern ment eliminates graft"
 Solomon himself is a barrister before the Kings Council. We have had balanced budget for at least the past 20 years, through the depression, and our tourist business has doubled in the last few years. Our times are good and the tourist can be thanked for it."
 Tn addition to advertising, the Bahamas government went to 400,- 900 pounds expense to dredge Mas sau harbor for the benefit of incoming tourist boats that run down from New York with wealthy vacationists in two days.
 The absence of an income tax has also encouraged building of vast estates by Eastern wealthy who live in the Bahamas six months or more out of the year.
 Aubrey Solomon, 54, born and reared in the warm Bahamas, thinks hiss isles are perhaps the incest place on earth. He says life is happy there and the govern ment has little worry with dis satisfied and hungry-and Solo mon should know, for he has been a member of the legislative group since he was 24 years old, which figures out 30 years of service.

COMPROMISE SEEN
ON TAX ON FIRMS
New Plan Offered for LevicS
on Closely Held Cor
pOratiOns.
~ the Associated Press

~ the Associated Press
Congressional proponents Of spe-
cial tax on family or closely-held cor
porations offered a compromise last
night. They said it would cushion
legitimate firms against the impact
OF the levy.
The compromise was proposed at a
meeting of the House Ways and Means
Committee Democrats.
Under the recommendation of
tax subcommittee, closely-held firm
would pay Is to 20 per cent income
tax. take deduction of $4,000, or 30
per cent, whichever was larger. from
remaining income, then pay 20 per
cent surtax on the balance
recommendations Made.
Supporters of this program. which
some critics contend would injure de-
slrahle companies, said they suggested
that:
l. The deduction provision be en-
larsed so firm could take the $40 900.
or 30 per cent of the total amount, ear
marked to pay debts, whichever was
the larger.
2. In event the Treasury makes
deficiency tax assessment. a company
be granted so to 90 days to declare
dividends equal to the amount of the
tax deficiency.
Committee critics of the surtaX said
they thought the cushions were meri-
torious, but that more were needed.
Some were talking about the pos
Nbility OF granting separate debt de-
duction. in addition to the $4,000. or
30 per cent Other suggestions receiv-
ing some attention were that a one
year carryover of operating losses be
extended TO several years. that the spe-
cial slrtaX be reduced to 10 per cent
and that deduction be permitted for
money used for plant expansion and
business improvements.
Definite Compromise Expected.
Members on each side Of the con-
troversy spoke optimistically of reach
Ing a definite compromise today.
Chairman Doughton, Democrat, North
Carolina, said that would clear the
way for him to introduce tax revision
bill within the next few days.
Advocates of the levy on closcly-held
firms say it is intended to hit COM
panleS used as tax avoidance devices.
Some of its committee opponents con-
tend the Treasury has admitted that
out of 10 of the firms which would be
subject to it were not formed or used
10 dodge taxes.
