CHARLIE MURRAY. TO OPERATE NEW
 COLD BOAT SOON
Fortymile Mining Man Will Install Dredge on Can-
 yon Creek

Charles Murray, veteran Inter for mining man, passed through Juneau southbound a month ago to make arrangements for a dragline outfit on Canyon Creek, in the Fortymile, but returned this morn ing on the Baranof to report he had made arrangements for dredge instead.
 Murray has several miles of ground on Canyon Creek, hitherto unworked ground close to the In- ternational Boundary, a short dis tance from Jack Wade
 While in San Francisco, Murray and his partners organized the Boundary Dredging Company" and purchased a two and three-quarters foot bucket dredge.
 The new dredge, which will leave Seattle June aboard the Panama, for Skagway, is of the pontoon hull type, and is being rebuilt by Walter Johnson, well known dredge engin- eer.
 From Skagway the dredge will go over the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway to Whitehorse, and thence downriver to Dawson, from where it will be taken by motor truck the 70 miles to Canyon Creek, and assembled
 Murray said about 35 men will be employed during assembly of the gold boat, and 15 men for two crews when the dredge is put into opera tion. It is expected the boat will be working by August and should get in about 60 day season.
 Included in the equipment Mur- ray is bringing in are several Cater pillar tractors, 'dozers, and trucks A radio-telephone set will also be installed.
 More enthusiastic than before

about the mining possibilities of the country between Fairbanks and the border, Charlie Murray said there is increasing activity in the area.
 They haven't been paying much attention to that ground until just this last year" Murray said. There's an awful lot of good ground in there that hasn't been touched. I would like to see for or five dredges in there opening up the country
 Asked concerning his pet peeve, more roads for the Fortymile," '" former Representative in the Terri torial Legislature, Charlie Murray smiled.
 Better lay off, he said. Every body knows we need road in there, but they're getting sore at me for harping on the subject"
 Murray is flying in to Fairbanks tomorrow with PAA and will then fly to Canyon Creek to set up a camp.

 Capitol Screen

Few casts, even in the most pre- tentious Hollywood productions, can be said to be more perfectly balanced than the group of players, known and unknown, dancers, singers and specialists of one kind or another, gathered by Victor Schertzinger, Hcllywood's premier musical direc- tor, for James Cagney's latest star ring vehicle, Something to Sing About" which is the feature at the Capitol.
 Playing opposite the popular, red-headed star, whose versatility is well demonstrated in this picture, is a lustrous, young newcomer to the screen, the auburn-haired Evelyn Daw, whose glorious talent marks her as one of the real lyric soprano voice and dramatic screen "discov- cries" of the current season. She appears as the ingenue soloist of a swing band and effectively sets off Cagney's peerless performance as the band-leader, who gets an offer

until the last of the week, before bringing in their ballots.
 Warning Issued
 Well. don't say we didn't tell you that you ought to bring in your sub- scriptions as soon as you get them. Otherwise 1t may not be possible to check them in time to make them official when the bonus week ends at 6 o'clock Saturday night.
 You know that the score is sub ject to some change because it may be that some of the subscriptions counted for votes might not be tab ulated officially after they have been checked. You ought to keep in touch with the CONTEST MAN. AGER so that you'll know how you stand every day of the CONTEST.
 That's the way to win. Keep in touch and keep the subscriptions coming in to the office.
 Your Own Fault
 Remember, if you don't place your favorite baby up among those who will share the $200 cash and other prizes, it will be your own fault and probably because you didn't take advantage of the extra votes during this bonus week.
 There are nine prizes, you know. besides three loving cups to the winner of first, second and third, in addition to the $100 cash, $50 cash, and $25 cash, that these top- ranking babies will receive.
 Tell Your Friends
 So it behooveS you to get busy stir the stumpS", as we used to say somewhere or other. See few of your friends and tell them about the many features which make THE DEMOCRAT Waterbury's most readable newspaper in every sense of the phrase.
 Tell your friends who have youngsters about THE DEMO- CRAFTS two full pages of comics, twice as many as the other local newspapers. They'll be glad you told them about THE DEMOCRAT and that means they'll be glad to subscribe, which means you'll get 800 votes for every such subscrip- tion.
 Try it, folks, and report your suc- cess to the CONTEST MANAGER today. If not today, then tomorrow. But soon-for the bonus period ends Saturday night, you know.
