VETERAN SEILER IS
PAID THOUSANDS BV
II. S.i STILL KICKING
$76,000 CHECK FROM GOVERN.
MENT IS NOT ENOUGH,
HE ROARS
SAN FRANCISCO, May 5. (/P)—
An ancient wrong has been righted,
but Capt. Tom Whitela-w, veteran
sealer and matey of seme of the
most famous characters ever to roam
the sea, is not satisfied.
“It ain’t enough,” roared “Cappy”
as he headed toward a bank Tues
day with his check for $76,096.75,
paid him by the United States gov
ernment because otf the unlawful
seizure of a sealing vessel in the
Arctic 35 years ago.
There was a whole cargo of seal
pelts aboard that vessel, the catch
of the season, and Capt. Whitelaw
and his crew were held inactive in
Sitka, some of them in jail.
“Cappy” was bitter about it as
he recalled that many men, driven
from the Behring sealing grounds,
never had been able to collect dam
ages. Some of them died before
their claims could be presented, for
it was just two years ago that con
gress recognized their rights.
A verdict in Whitelaw’s case was
returned last September and the gov
ernment check has just arrived.
Claims growing out of the incident
total over a million dollars.
“Cappy” does not need the money
particularly, for since his Arctic
days he has been one of the most
successful salvage opera tore. In his
earlier days he was the pal of Jack
London, of Alec McLean—the “Sea
Wolf”—and a dozen other windjam
mer characters. He is 79 years old
now.
"No, it ain't enough—not by thou
sands and thousands,” Whitelaw
went on. “You want to know what
I’m going to do with this money?
Well, it’s already a foot deep in
salt.”

Red Lake Prospectors
Face Difficult Type
Mining; Diamond Drill
RED LAKE, Ont., May 4. (/pi—On
tario’s newest gold discovery is in
quartz formation and any successful
“prospecting” will be done by an in
telligent direction of the diamond
drill.
Heavy expenditure is necessary be
fore a dollar’s worth of gold can be
taken from quartz. The prospector
and his “grub-staker” in This little
field face a trial of faith and endur
ance. Whereas the gold adventurer
in many sections of Alaska required
only a pan, pick or shovel to work his
claim, the prospector at Red Lake
needs equipment and experience to
meet a different typ of mining.
The sources of provisions after
leaving the railways are limited.
Motor boat if wirtnalfy the only root*
of accese it the summer.
