QUAKE WARNINGS PLANNED;
SCIENTISTS NOW AT WORK
PASADENA, Cal., Sept. 8—An
information service on earthquakes,
similar to the weather bureau’s work
in its field, is being considered by
scientists, engineers and business
men in California.
The undertaking aims at perfect
ing an instrument sensitive enough
to record the slightest tremors of j
the earth and so make posssible the
prediction of approaching move-:
ments of its surface.
The men in charge of the project
are students of vibration, who as
sisted in the development of sub
marine detectors and other similar:
instruments used during the war.
They have the cooperation of local.
educational institutions, th United j
States Geodetic Survey and the
United States Geological Survey. Re-;
sponsibility has been assumed by :
the Carnegie Institution »ta Wash
ington.
Direction of rhe work is in the
hands of an advisory committee con
sisting of Dr. Arthur L. Day, direct
or of the Carnegie Geophysical
Laboratory, Washington. D. C., who
is chairman; Dr. John A. Anderson
of the Mt. Wilson Solar Observa
tory; Dr. Robert A. Milliken, phy
sicist, of the California Institute f
Technology; Dr. Harry Fielding Reid
professor of geology at Johns Hop
kins University; Dr. Bailey Willis,
professor of geology at Leland Stan
ford, Jr., University; Dr. Ralph
Arnold, geologist and petroleum en
gineer. of Los Angeles, and Dr. An
drew C. Lawson, professor of geolo
gy at the University of California.
Mrs. Smith, wift of “Gunstore”
Joe Smith, is a returning passenger
on the Tanana.
PORTLAND CANAL DISTRICT
LOOKS GOOD TO JUNEAUITE
—
Although times are comparatively
: quset in the Portland Canal dis-1
i trict at the present time, with noi
i unusual activity in evidence except
jfor the work at the Premier mine.j
I where 400 men are employed, the 1
| camp undoubtedly has a great future
j before it. in the opion of E. S. Hew- .
itt, prominent Juneau business man.!
who recently returned to the cap
ital after after a visit to Hyder
and surrounding district. The people t
are feeling very hopeful, Mr. Hew- '
! itt says, and he was greatly im
: pressed with the vastness of the
mineral bodies.
Development work now going on
; at the property of the Fish Creek'
Mining Company, near the head of
Skookum Creek, six or seven miles
l
I from Hyder. on the American side,
' indicates that in time this mine may '
; rival the famous Premier in rich
! ness. Some of the ore is being ship-,
| ped now but in small quantities,
| and much of it runs $300 and better ;
[to the ton. Mr. Hewitt spent a day
at the property and he is sure that
lit will be a great producer.
The Premier people are rushing
work on their 11-mile aerial tram,
which will carry the ore from eht
mine to tide water. Half of the big
job is now finished and the tram
will be handling ore before the fir?t
of the year.
The Juneau man says there is
i considerable railroad talk heard at
Hyder and Stewart and rumors of
Canadian Pacific activity are rife.
It is believed that the C. P. R- in
tends to tap the Salmon River
country as well as to Duild into the
Groundhog coal fields from Stew

jDEPUTY MARSHAL ANDERS
KILLED BY MAN AT SPRINGS
According to Assistant United
States Attorney E. Coke Hill, who
is a Fairbanks-bound passenger on
the steamer Tanana. arriving from
the lower river this afternoon. Dep
uty Marshal J. L Anders, popular
oldtime peace officer of the Hot
Springs district, was killed yester
day by Sam Cote, a well known
character of the Hot Springs dis
trict. The news of the fatal affray
was received by Mr. Hill while en
j route up river, after he had paassed
I Hot Springs.
It appears that Cote had made
threats against the life of some one
at Hot Springs and Deputy Anders
went in search of him. with the re
slut that Cote turned the gun on
him when he sought to take him
into custody.
The report received by Mr. Hill
stated that the people of Hot Spring*
were out after the murderer, and a
later report stated that he had been
killed or had taken his own life.
Deputy Marshal Anders has a
mother residing at Hot Springs, and
hosts of friends in every part of
Interior Alaska. He was stationed in
Nenana during summer and his
untimely death is a matter of gener
al sorrow here.

NEW MOTOR MAY SUPPLANT
PRESENT TYPE IN PLANES
—
LONDON, Sept. 8 —Invention of
a system of steam piopulsion for;
airplanes is claimed by Captain W. j
P. Durtnall, who was a British naval I
officer during the war and, up to a ;
year ago, staff captain in the Chief
Mechanical and Electrical Engineer’s
; department of the Royal Air Force.
It is maintained that the new sys- >
Item will function at altitudes hither
to unattainable with the ordinary |
type of internal combustion engine.
The invention is said to do away
completely with the ordinary boiler, j
the steam being generated by means t
of internal combustion power or j
heat energy. The superheated steam j
heat energy is supnlied to special i
steam motors which are reversible
and can be controlled from a cen
tral control station.
Only heavy oil is used as fuel :
and it is claimed that the driving {
machinery can be safely placed in-!
side the frame of the airship in
stead of in separate gondolas out
i side, thus bringing abouf a great ;
reduction in air resistance and. con
sequently reducing the power re-i
ouired for propulsion. The engines
or “steam motors", as Captain Durt
nall calls them, are of the double
acting type requiring no flywheels.
Neil McCall came in from the
Canyon district yesterday on a brief
visit to town. He expects to go
back on Saturday.
