Another phase is the wages and hours bill, which would, in some cases, result in the discharge of wo- men from certain employment, and women will no doubt realize that they are to lose certain benefits to which they are now entitled, he ex- plained.
 In closing, Delegate Dimond said that in a few years, with the de- velopment of social life and social consciousness, this amendment will no doubt be adopted, thus extending to women of the United States the equality and rights to which they are so richly entitled"

Alaska's Delegate Speaks on Amendment Before
 Business Women

Women should have the same consideration and rights as do their husbands" said Alaska's Delegate to Congress, Anthony J. Dimond, in his explanation of the much dis cussed Equal Rights amendment, at the meeting of the Juneau Business and Professional Women's Club last evening. There is little opposition to the equality and justice phrase of the amendment" said MT. Dimond but the amendment as it now stands puts the privileges of the Federal Government improperly Ill the hands of the individual states and to this there is much opposi- tion"
 The adoption of this amendment to the constitution at present would come at least fifty years too soon thus upsetting the local laws ano be generally unsettling to the na- tion at a whole, explained Delegate Dimond
 MT. Dimond furthered his dis. cussion by saying that there art certain biological and physiological differences, as we all know, betweer men and women, which should b, considered, and many feel that wo men, whether they want to or not should be protected

May Drain Lakes To Recover Gold
 At Windhan| Bay
Tacomans Interested in Odd Mining Venture Head
 of Paint Creek

If plans of a group of Tacoma, Washington, people materialize, an estimated five million gallons of water will be released from two mountain lakes in Windham Bay to permit mining what engineer N. B. Randall estimates is 7000, 900 yards of gold bearing gravels with an alleged average value of over $100 a yard.
 Randall came to Juneau from Windham Bay over the weekend on the motorship Dart. Mrs. Ran dall accompanied him. After secur- ing new machinery parts, the Ran dalls will return to the property to continue development work
 Randall explained today in his room at the Juneau Hotel a mining proposition that even he said was unbelievable.
 At the head of Windham Bay is Sylvia Creek, on which Alaska's earliest placers were struck. Also at the head of the bay is the Shuck River, carrying some gold values. Paint Creek, a tributary to the Shuck. cuts into the divide between the Shuck and Sylvia
 Resistant Dike
 Paint Creek is absolutely barren of naturalization" Randall said. Tt is barren because a resistant dike of rock on it's upper reaches has kept erosion material impounded. These two lakes on Paint Creek were formed by this dike and the gravels concentrated in the lake basins and the values with them" The mountain country in the drainage of the two lakes, is cut and recut by numerous quart z veins, many of them carrying high gold values, Randall said, and add cd that gold values determined by pipe tests and banning ran dol lar yard and up in most places. "
 To work those gravels, Randall, associated with group of Ia comans who have taken over the development of the claims located by Ed Eisman, intends to drive a total of nearly a thousand feet of tunnel to drain the lakes covering the gravels.
 To Drive Tunnel
 "On the upper lake, 5000 feet in elevation, we will drive about 300 feet of five by seven tunnel through 1 the hill below and tap the lake. | We have estimated that there are about 100000 gallons of water there that would be carried off in day or so. We will then sluice the gravels through the tunnel and over line of rifle boxes. What we lose, we'll pick up in the second lake
 Randall said about 592 feet of tunnel will have to be driven to tap the lower lake, and double sluice boxes will be built on a Hat below.
 wen have to have two sets of sluice boxes" Randall said, be cause once ws get all that water going through, we won't be able to 1 turn it off.

NO RELEASE
OF NEWS on
REFINERIES

News releases from out-Of-
state sources were awaited
this week by the Montana oil
industry, on two refiner-
les each providing announce
ment of new outlets for
Montana crude oil. Neither
news release was received by
the Journal, up to press time,
although one of the two an
nouncements is positively due.
While negotiations have
been pretty definitely conclud-
ed in each instance, premature
publication might serve to in
jure and possibly block the en-
terprises, the sponsors de-
clared.
Each of the two projects
call for the construction of a
refinery with a capacity of at
least 1000 barrels. One of
the two plants may be Of
5000 barrels capacity. Both
will be located outside of the
state of Montana and in Meth
er case will there be any pub
lie financing. Sources of
crude supply are provided in
each instance, chief concern
centering on the securing of
suitable refinery sites.
A third pending project, |
not involving new construc-
ton, was still in allegiance
during the past week. All

SUPREME COURTS
DECISION HAS NO
LOCAL APPLICATION

The supreme court decision an
nounced this week regarding the
right of the federal government to
tax proceeds OF oil produced from
state owned lands has little local
effect. according to Montana opera
tors. So far as is known. no Mon
tana operator on state lands has
commended that he was an agency Of
the state and therefore free from
federal taxes although that was the
contention of wyoming Associated
oil Co. In the case decided by the
supreme court.
The state supreme court Of Mon
tana has held that allotted lands
of the Blackfeet reservation were
not subject to state taxes because
these lands were specifically grant
ed tax exemption for 25 years fol-
lowing issuance OF trust patents by
the government. Production from
tribal lands was held taxable by
the state in a case carried to the
U. S. supreme court.
While the most recent decisions
is said TO have reversed a number
of other cases the wyoming case
has little local application.

MUST TAKE 1T EASY

Lee Yealy, superintendent OF Ohio
Oil company, who has quite a repu-
tation as a big game hunter, was
surprised to be informed this week
that he has '7heart trouble" He
was taken suddenly i'll at his Shelby
home on Wednesday night and by
the time the doctor arrived, he had
no more pulse than a bug, and a
quick shot in the arm" was neces-
sary to get his heart back in action.
II have no idea what caused 1t, I"
he is quoted as saying. II had al
ready seen my income tax statement
and that wasn't very bad-so it
wasn't that"
Yealey Is husky enough to climb
mountains in pursuit of elk and
grizzly bear, so HIS friends have
difficulty in figuring mat he is a
logical heart case. However, the
doctor has ordered him to stake IT
easy" for a time.
