CAMERON SAYS PEACOCK WHEATON
 GROUND ON BOULDER IS REAL MINE

That is a real mine on Boul- der. declared Ben Cambron on his arrival here Wednesday with Mrs. Cambron from their placer prop erty on Gold Pan in the Dease Lake country. He referred to the three miles of leases which S. c. Burlington and J. A. Walsh late in the summer bought of Percy Pea cock and Jack Wheaton
 Peacock will turn over his ground on December l. h the mean time he and his crew are racing against freeze-up which will stop them from any more gold recovery.
 ALr. and Mrs. Gambron came out from Gold Pan to Dease Lake with the Bill Elder pack train. Mrs Cambron remained at the lake while he went with Pat Co1lison's pack train to Boulder. There were but six horses in the train so the round trip was made in a week. The day after they returned to the lake. a Fairchild plane flew in from Atlln enroute to Boulder. When MT Cam bron found he could make the roundtrip in one and one-half hours at a cost Of $50. he promptly em- parked on his first plane trip. Be- tween II o'clock in the morning and o'clock that afternoon, the plane made three roundtrips to Boul- der carrying goo pounds of freight and one or two passengers each trip. Then at o'clock took off on the two hour return trip to Atlin.
 Rich Ground
 The Peacock ground is very rich. Gold is even in the gravel oYerburden The bedrock runs irregularly but the gold in the glacial clay has good values. A crew of twelve men have been working this season for MT. Peacock. Mr Cambron tells that Clyde Baker. well known in Wran- gell. and George Finn. working lay for Peacock in an area less than q feet square in a month took out loo ounces of gold.
 Boulder creek is well named.

The Forest Service personnel Of Alaska experimented this past sum mer with a system of fish planting on the Tongass National Forest, which was new, at least, to this re- zion. states a bulletin issued this week from the Juneau office.
 Approximately 600 rainbow trout were seined from Sashen Lake on the southern end of Baranof Island and carried by airplane to twelve barren lakes on Baranof and Chi chagof Islands. The airplane trip seldom exceeded 30 minutes: ten gallon milk cans were used as con- tainers. and aeration was provided by means of a bicycle pump. The fish averaged 12 inches in length but ranged from 8 to 20 inches. and while there was little loss, smaller fish, -four to seven inches) will te used hereafter, where available. be- cause of the larger number that esn be handled in each can.
 The cans held only five or SIX large fish each, and the plane had a capacity of six to eight cans. II was found that the mortality was much higher in water up to 50 de grees than in water below 4a de- grees. Less aeration seems to be needed in the colder water. The fish must not be crowded in the cans but it is practical to keep meny trout in a large tierce filled with running ice water at central iei ' ing and distributing point, and use milk cans and an airplane to trans port them to their destination oyel a period of a few days.
 Central Alaska waters have few If any black spotted trout and ar experiment was made of shipping five cans. containing six rainbow tasah aaeA. te Rairhanks bg .om

Easter Gift Results
 Full Rabbit House

4 white rabbit. bought from Mrs. Russell F. Pederson and given to his small son Robbie for Easter, is on the way to providing J. R. Brown manager of the Coliseum with an interesting side line at his home across from Wrangell Park on the highway
 The Easter rabbit. a cross between New Zealand red and Flemish giant white weighs twelve pounds. The first of June she had eleven bunnies of which Mir. Brown kept nine. Of these, six young does, less than five months old, now average 8h pounds.
 With the coming of ten more lit- tie fellows last month. MT. Brown built a substantial rabbit house s by 20 feet with a 7-foot ceiling. The entire 20-foot front is screened and the sloping floor of two by twelves is constructed so that the house is easily cleaned. Ten 3 pens are built IS inches off the floor. All the floor space is reserved for the baby rabbits.
 The rabbits, healthy and thriving, have made their remarkable growth on a special food put out by a mill ing company in which twelve in- gradients necessary to rabbits we'll being are combined in a base of al falfa meal. They are given small quantities of green stuff, such as lettuce and carrots, but the prepared food is said to contain all they need The pens are kept scrupulously clean. MT Brown says few people realize how cleanly rabbits are if given half a chance.
 It seems safe to assume that by next Easter, Robbie Brown will have rabbits enough for three or four score small boys and at midsummer will be we'll started in the rabbit business.

Trout Planting Experiments Made
 In TongaSS Forest Lakes

mercial airplane, a distance of 500 miles. Tn this case the fish were from six inches to eight inches in length. At Fairbanks the fish were transferred to a truck by a CCC crew and taken to Harding Lake 45 miles distant. They arrived in good condition and additional shipments will be made next year. If this att tempt at long range transplanting to a new region proves successful, the Harding Lake stock can be used for supplying other waters in cen- tral Alaska. This work was started at the request of the Tanana Valley Sportsmen's Association and with the cooperation of the Pacific AL aska Airways.
 Restocking with mature fish is to be continued by the Forest Service in Alaska. Fish experts here say that the chances for success in or iginal stocking are much better with dozen fair-sized fish than with hundreds of fingerlings or thous- ands of eyed eggs. The Tongass For est, covering most of Southeastern Alaska, contains many lakes that apparently have no fish because of high water falls in their outlets These are the waters that will be stocked by the above method.
 Fish hatcheries equipped to pro- duce fingerlings will be depended on to maintain the population oi those trout streams that are now heavily fished and where conditions are known to be highly favorable for trout.
 Alaska's game fish resources are not yet showing signs of great de. pletion, but the Forest Service hopes to avoid depletion in waters of the National Forest hy starting action at this time,

 Deputy Marshal Walter Hellan said soon after the shooting he found a letter. filled with loving phrases. on the Tongass which Hrs. Smith had written to Colling telling him her husband had gone hunting and for him to come 10 her home as soon as he could. A taxi driver de- livered the letter.
 Smith is a small. slender man. Ceiling was large and heavy set. Smith used a 22 pistol. The first shot fired was the fatal shot. The bullet entered just above the heart and Colling bled to death. The sec ond shot hit the side of the room.
 Smith said he did not intend to kill Ceiling. but intended to compel the two to accompany him to the district attorneys office. He said when Colling rushed him he shot
 Mrs. Smith made a trip to Seattle several months ago aboard the Ton gass, then returned recently aboard the same ship.
 [. S Commissioner Felix Gray in structed the coroner's jury to decide whether or not it believed the homi- eide was justifiable. Unable to agree the jury returned a verdict that Ceiling met death by a gunshotI wound inflicted" by Smith.

THIEF
 POOR JUDGE GOOD WHLSKEY

The eulprits who broke into and burglarized the Cramer Liquor Store at approximately 4.30 thls morning were neither gentlemen nor good juuges ot whiskey, according to Chad Wyatt, manager of the store during the absence of his mother, Mrs. M. A. gramer, who went south recent ly.
 Apparently bent on reyelry and perateIy without the supplies to carry out their plans for the wee small hours, the hiiackers forced the door of the liquor store, which ad- joins the main store building, with a pointed iron bar. The job was neatly done allaying any suspicion that the burglars were too drunk to know what they were doing.
 The loot consisted of II quart bottles Of Seagrams and 15 half pints Of the same. Several quarts of Teachers, Monogram and the better grades of liquors were not disturbed.
 Chad reported that a similar at tempt to burglarize the store was rolled not long ago by Ed Moore who uyes across the street.
 Acting under the authority of a search warrant, Deputy United States Marshal James Nolan, accom- panied by Deputy Collector of Gus toms Leo Osterman, searched the gas screw Nebraska, Captain Ivor stolpe. and upon finding a quan- tity Of liquor, arrested Stolpe who is being held for investigation.
