DR BROOKS IS
OPTIMISTIC
OVER FUTURE
Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, who has had
charge of the Geological Survey work
Alaska since 1898, and has spent
most of the summers during that time
in the territory is a Cordova visitor
and will go to Katalla to investigate
the coal and oil fields. Dr. Brooks
is also a member of the Interdepart
mental Commission which recently
made an investigation of conditions in
the north and its report to Secretary
of the Interior Payne made numei’ous
recommendations for the development
of the territory.
FAVORS DEVELOPMENT BOARD
Dr. Brooks declared that Alaska
-Should be governed in Alaska, and ap
proved the proposal to establish an
Alaska Development Board to adminis
ter the Federal resources within the
territory.
Dr. Brooks said that when secre
tary Payne took office his knowledge
of Alaska was very meager but that
his visit to the territory has opened
his eyes. He has, at least, said Dr.
% Brooks, gained an accurate conception
of the size of the territory and now
he realizes that it is a pioneer coun
try and must be helped. He declared
that the new secretary is a man who
can and does act quickly when he ar
rives at a conclusion.
% “It is unfortunate,” sail Dr. Brooks,
“that one man’s information and opin
ion should mean so much to Alaska
as it does in the case of the secretary
of the interior, because Alaska should
be governed in the territory by men
who understand it.” But, accepting
conditions as they are, Dr. Brooks ex
pressed his pleasure that the secre
tary of the interior had indorsed the
idea of the Alaska Development
Board.
Secretary Payne recognizes that the
great need of Alaska is population,
said Dr. Brooks, and he will do all
within his power to encourage people
to come to the territory.
BELIVES IN ALASKA OIL
Dr. Brooks said that in his opin
ion Alaska will develop oil on a com
mercial basis. While it is said only
driffftig will demonstrate whether the
territory possesses one or more of the
great oil fields of the world, the in
dications are that oil will be located
in commercial quantities in Alaska. It
is his opinion that oil will be located
in sufficient quantities to supply the
local demand and for export, and that
there is a strong possibility that a
great oil field will be located.
That Alaska has great quantities
high grade coal in both the Bering
and Matanuska fields, and also large
areas of lignite that will be useful
for local consumption in* the Nenana
and other regions, also was stated.
GREAT FUTURE FOR GOLD
Dr. Brooks declared that the discov
ered placer gold fields of Alaska
which could be worked at a profit
under the conditions that existed be
fore the war, contain as much gold
as has been taken from Alaska. He
also said that there is no question
but that Alaska contains great gold
bearing lodes that will be developed
when transportation conditions are im
proved, and economical mining condi
tions re-established.
The copper situation, Dr. Brooks
said, is similar to that which sur
rounds gold mining. He said the in
dications are that great fields of cop
per await the restoration of normal
conditions.

PIONEER MINER
ALASKA DIES
IN SEATTLE
George Barrack, a pioneer miner
and mining operator in Dawson and
later at Valdez, died Tuesday in
Seattle, after a long illness, at a ripe
age of 70 years. Mr. Barrack who
was well known to Valdezans, camfe
to America in the gold rush to Daw
son and acquired some valuable min
ing claims there. He later made a
trip to England with Alex McDonald
the well-known promoter for the pur
pose of financing the property, and
had no great difficulty in securing all
the capital needed for the enterprise.
While in London he was offered $10,
000.00 per annum by a large syndicate
to return to Dawson and buy proven
properties for the company which he
turned down.
Later he returned to Valdez in ’02
where he spent considerable money
in prospecting and developing proper
ties in the Solomon Gulch district. He
placed a diamond drill on the proper
ty and considerable time and money
was expended before the company
went to the wall.
Mr. Barrack later went to Latouche
£
where he acquired the property
known as the Barrack property, now
the Ladysmith property known as the
Gird wood mine. Mr. Barrack erected
a wharf, buildings, and made consid
erable improvements to his claims.
Later he attempted to sell his hold
ings to the Guggenheims, but the
deal was blocked, and a few years ago
he sold to the Ladysmith Smelting
Corporation, Ltd., which has since
placed the mine on a paying basis.
Mr. Barrack was married several
years -ago. but was a single man at
the time of his death. He held the
office of postmaster at Latouche for a
number of years, resigning on account
of ill health. He leaves a brother in
Montana and an older brother in
Fairbanks, president and manager of
the Samson Hardware Company of
that city.—Valdez Miner.
MANY FILIPINO
STOWAWAYS
TURNED BACK
MANILA, Aug. 11 (by Associated
Press).—Owing to the increasing
number of Filipino stowaways on ves
sels leaving here for the United
States, the Pacific Mail Company has
adopted the plan of stopping its de
parting ships several miles out in
Manila bay while a thorough search
is made for stowaways. If any are
found they are put off in a launch.
The number of Filipino stowaways
has grown so lately that it has be
come a serious problem. Steamship
agents say Filipinos are going to the
United States now in greater numbers
than at any time since the American
occupation. Most of them are stu
dents who desire to work their way
through school in America, while a
few are impelled by a spirit of ad
venture to make the trip.
Reports reaching here say that
many of the Filipinos in the Pacific
coast cities are poorly fed and housed.
It is reported that they are suffer
ing hardships in a number of cases.
NERVES SNAP UNDER STRAIN
Lad'es' Tailor Wants to Be Sent Back
to Austria Where Machines
Are Idle.
Greenwich, Conn.—Felix Boehimer,
an Austrian, a resident of Greenwich.
Conn., formed himself into a parade
of one and marching into Greenwich’s
police headquarters informed Chief
Talbot that unless he were placed in
a cell forthwith he would go out and
smash windows.
Considerations of public tranquillity
as well as of the mounting price of
glass moved the chief to comply, and
then after Boehimer had sunk into a
slumber and come out of it again he
questioned him.
“That.” said Boehimer, referring to
the sleep from which he had just
awakened, “is the first I have had in
five years. I am employed by a
ladies’ tailor here, and my condition
bespeaks the present craze of woman
kind for clothes and then more
clothes. Now have me sent back to
Austria. I know there is practically
nothing to eat there, but at least the
sewing machines are idle also and a
man may take his rest.”

ADVENTUREAND COMEDY
BILLED FOR TONIGHT
Everyone loves a good tale of ad
venture. Imagine such a tale, with
added, and a wonderful romance
woven through, and imagine it all
pictured by artists who make it live
and breath until it is vivid and real.
Imagine all this, and you will have
j some idea of what the powerful
Russian drama, “Paws of a Bear” is
like. There’s a dash to it, and a
thrill, plus a lot of mystery that only
clears at the last. It is played by
j William Desmond and a strong sup
porting cast. And it is all so natural
that it rings true to life. Perhaps
the incidents really happened, for
truth is stranger than fiction, and
whether it ever happed in real life
or not, it’s well worth seeing on the
screen.
“Paws of the Bear,” a topical news
reel, and the two reel comedy “The
Junk Man” form tonight’s program at
the Empress.
