SILVER AND TIN
Word that Congress has appropriated $175,000 yearly j
for the next three years to examine American and Alaskan
tin deposits comes as welcome news.
With silver at 77.57 cents an ounce and probably going
higher, it is more than likely that the mining of these two,
minerals will become one of our big industries.
Gold will probably always continue to occupy the main,
place in our mining picture, but all experts are agreed that
rich, untouched deposits of the other two metals exist in the
territory.
York and Tin City, about one hundred miles up the
coast from Nome, are places where tin has been and is still
being mined successfully. In the Hyder district, the Kan
tishna region and the Susitna Valley extensive silver lodes
have already been uncovered. In the Kuskokwim countiy,
Nixon Fork and near Chulitna station deposits of both these
metals have been discovered.
That there are many similar regions as yei unaeveiopeu
no informed authority doubts. We hope in the near futuie
that they will be given the attention they deserve, for a
diversity of products and industries is one of the surest
foundations for Alaska’s permanent well-being.
Tin and silver are the personifications of the untouched
opportunities in our country.
The advancement of the home city is closest to the
hearts of your progressive business men.
They always stand ready to lead forward in any move
ment for civic expansion, progress and prosperity.
They are always forward-thinking and assist in lead
ing the way for a better, busier city.
The civic work done by thgse men should be appreci
ated more by the public.
Nobody deserves more support than your progressive
Business Men. _____

Red Wagon Was
Offered As Bail
Leads To Mercy
(By The Associated Press)
CHARLOTTE, N. C., June —The
majesty of the law recently bowed
to a child of 4 who wanted to go
bail for seven of his friends with
his “big, red wagon”.
A group of youngsters, 10 or 12
years old, went swimming in Briar
creek in the nude and a couple of
rural policemen saw them.
Seven of the nudists were bun
dled into their clothing and into
the police automobile. On the
bank watching was Frank Graham,
and when the police started off with
their prisoners he followed.
At police headquarters he told
Chief Fesperman the latter could
have his big, red wagon if he would
not put the boys in jail. The po
lice took the boys to their homes
where punishment was given for
swimming on a chilly day.
This Complainant
Learns A New
Trick About Law
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, June —Bernard Wil
liam Thurlow a clerk of East Ham,
London owns a bicycle. One day
Alfred Edwards his friend, borrowed
it without asking permission. Thur
low described the bicycle to the
police and later Edwards was ar
rested as he came from Thurston’s
door having returned the bicycle.
Naturally, Thurlow did not ap
pear in court to prosecute so the ar
resting constable prosecuted and
Edwards was convicted of theft and
fined $10. Thurlow was then ar
rested charged with compounding
a felony.
In court he pleaded that, the cy
cle having been returned he did not
think he had done any wrong in
deciding not to prosecute. Wyatt
Payne the magistrate said defendant
had no right to do anything of
the kind. He had become an acces
sory to the wrong and had put him
self in a very awkward position.
There had been nothing against
him previously and under the cir- j
cumstances he was discharged.
Organized Crime
Is Lacking In The
Terr. Of Hawaii
(By The Associated Press)
HONOLULU June —Organized
crime has so little chance in the
Hawaiian islands that it does not
exist there.
The reason is that it is impossible
for a professional criminal to es
cape when hard pressed, because
each island is surrounded by thou
sands of miles of ocean. The only
escape for criminals is by steam
er which can be reached by radio
and searched after their departure.
The island at Oahu, on which
Honolulu is located anl which of
fers the principal opportunity for
crime, is only 40 miles long and 20
miles wide. There is no chance to
get away. ,
Hawaii having the status oi a ter
ritory, is an integral part of the
United States and subject to all fe
deral laws. Attorney General Ho
mer Cummings who recenty visit
ed the islands, complimented the
Hawaiians on their freedom from
crime.
