Daniel J. Bowen oi Cleveland, Ohio,
representing the Brotherhood of Rail
road Conductors of the United States,
accompanied by three representatives
of the other big Brotherhoods—engi
neers, firemen and brakemen,—are
making an investigation of conditions
along the Alaska railroad to get the
facts about non-development of ton
nage for the railroad. It transpires
that they have been at different places
along the railroad for the last thirty
days, and are to continue along the
railroad for the last thirty days, and
are to continue their investigations
for another thirty days.
They came in to Seward from the
Matanuska coal fields on Wednes
day’s train. Two of them returned on
Thursday’s train and two remained in
Seward.
The exact nature of their business
has not been disclosed, but Mr. Bow
en said that the facts they are col
lecting would be presented to a con
gressional investigating Committee
next winter and would uncover a gi
gantic conspiracy to prevent develop
ments resulting in more progressive
policies in the future.

HOPE MINING NEWS
The vveli known Hirshey mine, lo
cated on the upper limits of Palmer
Creek, and which for years has been
the best paying mine in the Hope
mining district, has been taken over
by the Alaska Minerals Company, the
officers of which are Sumner Smith,
president; Dr. John B. Beeson, treas.,
M. J. Conroy, sec., and B. H. Barndol_
lar and F. L. Knight, directors.
The mine will be worked under the
supervision of Sumner Smith during
! the coming summer and it is expect
ed that a force of thirty men will be
used in the development of the prop
erty.
The Kenai Star Gold Mining Co. is
employing 11 men at the present
time, with H. L. Rider, formerly ol
the Cliff mine at Valdez, acting as
superintendent. On this property
there is a four-foot ledge traceable
from the surface. The mill started
grinding ore July 1.
Ketchum and Mathieson are oper
ating an extensive placer outfit at the
head of Resurrection creek and plan
on taking out the biggest clean-up
within the history of the cieek, which
dates back 25 years.
The road survey, which was con
ducted under the auspices of the Bu
reau of Public Roads, between Hope
and the Hirshey mine, has been com
I pleted and work on the road has com
menced.
ihere are more prospectors in the
field this season than have appeared
for a number of years in the past, and
it seems that the Hope mining dis
trict is coming into its own. With new
blood in the country, with the road
work now beiny carried on by the
Road Commission and with the spirit
of enthusiasm pervading the camp, it
would seem that the many years ot
drought have passed and that the dis
trict generally will experience a de
served era of prosperity.

LANDLORD MUST NOT KISS
TENANT IF NOT IN LEASE
CHICAGO, July 27—Landlords are
not privileged to kiss their tenants un
less it is specified in writing in the
lease.
So ruled Judge Janies J. O’Toole
yesterday when he fined Samuel Kas
tigianos $25 for kissing Mrs. Helen
Denkowics, a pretty tenant against
her wishes.
“The lease doesn’t provide that I
must kiss the landlord,” Mrs. Denko
wics declared, “although that’s about
all that’s omitted.”
Judge O’Toole agreed.
