ALBERT WILE
IS POSTMASTER
NOW AT JUNEAU
*.. WASHINGTON, D. C—Delegate
A. J. Dimond was notified by the
post office department of the ap
pointment of Albert Wile as post
master at Juneau, Alaska.
Albert Wile is a well-known Al
aska merchandise broker and in
traveling over the territory in the
interests of his business called for
many years regularly at Cordova.
He was recommended for the Jun
eau postmastership only a few
weeks by Delegate Dimond. He
will succeed Mrs. Josephine C. Spic
kett, whose term expired December
8. Wile is a veteran Alaskan and
came to the territory in 1896. He
has served as postmaster at Iditarod
and at Ketchikan, and was a form
er business man of Nome in the
early gold rush days.
Mrs. Spickett’s term expired on
December 8 and the alacrity with
which her successor was appointed
indicates that the administration is
losing no time in naming Democrats
to succeed Republican incumbents.
There will be four more postmas
terships in Alaska to be filled with
in the next few months, as follows:
Anchorage, March 28 next; Cordova
April 12; Ketchikan May, 29th. At
Fairbanks there is an acting post
master.—Cordova Daily Times.

FREE GOLD IS
DISCOVERED ON
A'-*
KODIAK ISLAND
A stringer of free gold has been
discovered on the east side of Ko
diak island at Uganik, and the dis
coverers, Bowman and Ernest Stric
kler, of Kodiak, will put in a small
mill for developing the property.
The find is not large, it is under
stood, but runs at $50 a ton and the
operators expect to clean up a ton
a day.
Interest in Kodiak as a mineral
area is becoming widespread, and
the thought of prospecting is com
ing to be general. There is another
likely prospect back of English Bay
on Eagle Harbor, Shannon of Ko
diak is combing over this region
with the view of settling down to
serious development.
Elmer Babcock is covering thej
country back of Middle bay, and
while a definite discovery has not
been made the situation is one that
encourages the prospector to be
lieve that he is on the right track.
One of the most interesting reports
comes from Red River beach, where
gold sand mining has been going on
for some years, but which had notj
attracted general attention until a
comparatively recent date.
The early diggings this season
proved unprofitable on account of
contrary weather conditions, and
reports from there indicated that
the men were about to give up for
the season and call it a day.
Then the weather shifted, with
the breaking of a fierce storm, wash

Taking advantage of the situa
tion the miners redoubled their ef
forts and in a week some of them
made a fair payday. Henry Nesbit
was particularly fortunate, his plac
er mine returns being $300 in eight
days.
Nesbit was formerly at Seldovia
and the Lower Cook Inlet country
in general, and a few years ago
went to the westward in company
with Henry "Hank” Russell
They engaged in prospecting over
a wide district, doing their own
boating and packing and looking for
mineral and oil deposits.
They later parted company, Rus
sell installing himself on Sitkalidak
island as assistant to the cattle in
terests being established there.

NEW EQUATION
(By The Associated Press)
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 31—Profes
sor Albert Einstein announced today
a simplified proof for mass equival
ent and for many practical purpos
es, identical new equations.
He expressed encouragement that
that branch of physical science in
the next few years, will lay founda
tions for a 'world more secure and
comfortable.
He got rid of the complicated el
ectro-magnetic field theory with
which this equivalence of mass or
weight and energy heretofore has
been proven, and used instead the
simple collision of two material par
ticles to prove the same thing.
This was his first important speech
in the Unite*! States and the first
important announcmeent for the
last several years. It was also his
first speech in the English language.
The address was given before the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science.
