OF LEGISLATION
SOCIALIST BITTERLY ASSAILS
NATIONALISTS AND FAS
CISTS
BERLIN, Oct., 18, (JP)—Airing
o 1 factional enmities were de
layed further in the government
program of legislation when
charges were brought to the
i door of the nationalists “Hitler
ites’' that they caused Germany’s
post-war woes leading up to
the present stringency.
Socialist Wilhem Hoegner ap
peared and made a bitter tirade
against the right wdng members
of the nationalists charging
that their talk about annexa
tion and tributes made foreign
nations look on Germany with
distrust.
He blamed the fascists threats
of opposition to the govermnent
♦ and nationalists and fiscists had
formed a coalition to oppose the
$125,000,000 foreign loan which
is expected to continue on its
passage after hurdling the first

MUST PRODUCE MORE GOLD IF
SILVER AND GOLD ARE NOT
PLACED ON PARITY
g LOS ANGELES, Oct., 18, -Sen.
Kei; Pittman. Nevada, an auth
ority on gold and silver mining,
"aid that the credit of the world
a/? threatened bv a shortage of gold
r.nd by “England's desperate at
tempt to get enough of the yellow
metal to stabilize her silver cur
rency.”
In the credit situation, Senator
Pittman said, is seen the promise
* of a tremendous boom in gold min
ing in the western states.
The production of the world
gold supply is decreasing daily,” he
said. “The finances of the world
ere based on this metal: there
are grounds for uneasiness as ec
onomists hold credit is being
strained.
* “There Is a tremendous rivalry
between governments to obtain
gold. The United States has nearly
one half of the world’s supply
while France has about one quar
ter. England on the other hand has
about one-tenth and in her effort
to get gold to sustain her gold bas
ic currency in India, has been melt
ing up, and sacrificing great quan
tities of silver coin and dumping
it on the world market. This has
broken the price of silver which is
the only measure of wealth in
countries. comprising popula
4 tion of half the -world.
“Consequently the value of nearly
one-half of the world has been re
duced by the reduction of the pur
chasing power of silver in such
countries as China, India, Russia,
Mexico and those of South Amer
ica."
The Senator said gold mining in
South Africa is on the wane be
cause the mines are playing out.
Pie said consequently mines in the
western United States which have
lain unworked because of the ex
4 pense connected with their opera
tion probably will “come into their
* own”

ORE T0N1CE
SOUGHT EOI
Anchorage may have a smel
ter if sufficient ore can be de
veloped in the rail belt and ad
jacent district to justify the in
vestment, according to the An
chorage Times. The Northern
Development Company has just
completed incorporation for $500,
000 and there will be plenty of
money available for smelter
building just as soon as the min
ing men of the country to be
served can show enough tonnage
to keep the plant busy for a
reasonable length of time.
The project has been launched
by W. E. O'Malley, practical
! geologist and field engineer who
i has been several months in the
Anchorage area looking over pos
sible sources of ore. If double
the present amount of ore is
available, he believes the propo
sition can be put over. Fred
i Parsons of Anchorage is inter
; ested with him.
Mr. O’Malley invites every one
! who thinks he has a showing
! to get in touch with him at An
chorage. Mr. O'Malley knows of
: a number of promising pros
pects down the inlet and the
ore from them or any others in
that vicinity can be brought to
1 the proposed smelter on barges.
A tentative site has even been
selected at the mouth of Ches
1 ter Creek. He feels confident,
he declares, that the requisite
tonnage can be assemled if min
ing men in this part of Alaska
get in touch and conference
with him.
The survey gang which has
been working on the “Missing
Link” road have finished their
task and arrived in town Fri
day. They departed Saturday
for Quartz Creek where a three
weeks survey awaits them.
When this work is completed
it is reported the crew will re
turn to Seward and survey the
Nash road—this work to occupy
at least two weeks.
It was also said that when
thus latter survey is finished
the crew7 will board ship bound
for Yakatak on further survey
| activities.

IUNTERS RETURN
FROM 10-DS1I TRIP
E. L. Robbins of Brown &
Hawkins and Mel Horner of the
j Overland Hotel got in Friday
i night from a ten day's hunt in
| the Russian River country. They
| had little success beyond bagg
j ing a small, innocent black bear.
Their hunt was curtailed by
I reason of the fact that they
! lost a large part of their equip
; ment in the fire that destroy
ed Lew Bishop’s old and new
lodge on the Russian which they
had left at the Bishop lodge
while making a side sortie. They
returned the day after the fire
to find the ruins still smoking.
Bishop’s loss must have run
to between $5,000 and $6,000, Mr.
Horner figures, including the
two buildings, all furniture and
personal effects, winter’s vege
table supply and fox food.
However, Bishop has housed
himself temporarily in the old
j meat house and has already
| started work on another new
lodge.
