By W. A. S.
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, D. C.
June 15, 1931
One of the Washington news
papers the other day published
the picture of Brother George
J. Feltis, S. J., a missionary in
Alaska and one of the few
members of the clergy qual
ified to fly. He is shown map
ping the route from New York
to Seattle, from whence his
plane, Marquette Missionary,
will be shipped to Alaska.
Brother Feltis, who has a trans
port license, will make his mis
sionary trips by air.
A device that it is thought
may prove of much value in
Alaska is the subject of aj
patent issued a couple of j
weeks ago by U. S. Patent Of- I
lice to John V. Rowley, of |
Fortuna, California. It is a de
vice for extracting mineral
bearing sands or “pay-dirt”,
from beds of streams when
they are at freshet or flood
stages. The arrangement is to
have troughs having screens
across their open tops buried
in the bedrock below the
stream. The “pay dirt” moves
by gravitation or is pumped
along the troughs to the side
of the stream, where it is in
position to be carried away
from the stream so it may be
subjected to extraction pro
cesses. The preferred method
is to construct the conduits by
excavating through bedrock
and during the period of low
water. The device will then be
ready for high water and will
function to carry off the fine
materials, these materials car
rying the precious metals.
Old timers in the North will
remember Iginio Gaglione,
who resided in Alaska contin
uously for sixteen years, from
1898 to 1914, and who won
fame and gold as the discover
er of Vault Creek, in the Fair
| banks district. He took out his
first papers in Juneau in 1898
and was made a citizen in
: Nome in 1901. In 1914 he re
! turned to Italy to visit hfs sick
; and aged parents, and remain
j ed there until 1925, when he
j returned to the United State-,
! as a “temporary visitor”, as he
had sacrificed his American
citizenship by his residence of
over five years in the land of
his birth. He has since been
engaged in business in Seattle,
| importing rare statuary and
manufacturing ceramics, and is
an active member of the Cham
ber of Commerce. Hut now the
immigration officers say that
he must return to Italy. He
will soon be given a hearing
at Seattle and the result will ,
be transmitted to the Secretary ]
of Labor. If it is decided that j
he be deported his friends are
hoping that his previous good j
life and splendid character will
be favorably considered by |
the Secretary and result in his i
remaining in Seattle.
Washington city is doing her:
share to boost the sale of Alas-,

ues in the various cafes con
tain our delectable food in ap
petizing appeal and this i?
particularly true of the Peop
