Its gratifying to find once more our secret theory
verified with the discovery of a new vein on I opott is
land, near Unga. Eventually we will be able to copyright
our idea and file it in the archives at Washington it the
geologists do not get too busy and beat us to it.
To put it straight we beileve the earth had a spasm
some several million years ago and split heiself ^ice
open all the way from Patagonia at the extreme south
ern end of South America up thru that continent, thiu
Panama, Central America, Mexico, United States, Brit
ish Columbia, Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska,
out along the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutians.
The wrinkle that followed was made up partly of
various metals that came up with the molten masses,
the gases and the hot waters when the great cataclysm
occurred. It became the greatest depository of mineial
wealth on the whole globe. And for a thousand years
or more men have burrowed into its mountains, carry
ing away gold and silver and copper and practically
every metal or mineral known to the uses of civiliza
tion. Down in South America the Incas and the Astecs
hoarded their gold and silver, only to be despoiled by
the Spaniards, who raided thru Mexico, finding pre
cious metal ornaments of forgotten races. There were
the days of ‘49 in California and the hectic rise of the
Comstock in Nevada; all along the same wrinkle. Then
mining went further north thru Oregon and Washing
ton into British Columbia and into Alaska with some of
the greatest deposits known to minng science.
Alaska must have been a violent boiling point in
the wrinkle because metal is scattered all over the Ter
ritory. That is proven by the fact that Mount McKinley
is the highest peak in North America. The wrinkle is
easily traced south and westward down thru Kenai
peninsula, thru Kodiak, and along the Alaska Peninsu
la to the far Aleutians, and also to the north of Seward
and into interior regions.
Millions have already been mined at Unga, to the
far Westward and it is no surprise that other veins are
being found. It is all a part of the wrinkle on the
orange. They are liable to find metal anywhere along
the belt, and it is a matter of sincere congratulation
hat the new find will stimulate prospecting so we may
have producing mines from Nuka Bay onward.
Upon the authority of La Rochefoucauld, famed
sage of a few centuries ago, nothing so much prevents
our being natural as the desire of appearing so.

EDITOR’S NOTE:— According !
to historical documents, Vitus j
Bering (1680-1741) was a Danish'
navigator and explorer. He dis- !
covered Bering Sea and Strait, |
which stands as a monument, j
to his name.
Born in Jutland in 1680. After
making several voyages to the East
and West Indies, he entered the
service of Russia; became a captain
commander in 1722; and was sent
by the Empress Catherine in charge
of an expedition, whose object was
to determine whether Asia and i
America were united. Crossing Si- i
beria he sailed from the river of I
Kamchatka in July, 1728; and |
reached latitude 67o 18’ N., having I
passed thru the strait since called i
after him, without knowing it.
Discovering that land trended j
(greatly to the west he concluded 1
(that the continents were not united i
j and returned; without, however, *
seeing America. In another voyage, |
in 1741, he touched upon the Amer- |
,ican coast, in latitude 58o 21’ N.; j
and gave name to Mount St. Elias.
In returning, his ship was cast upon
an island, since named after him, I
an outliner of the Aleutian group,
and here himself and many of his !
crew perished, in December. 1741.
j Bering Island, the larger of the
two Kommander Islands is located :
115 miles from the east coast of
Kamchatka, crossed by 55o 10’ N.
It contains the tomb of Bering, who j
referred to herein died after being j
an outlier of the Aleutian group, j
resort of seal hunters.

NIGHT OF LOVE
A thrilling story based on the old feudal customs that the
Lord of the Castle had the right to the first night of all
brides in his domain. It is a
UNITED ARTISTS PRODUCTION
and most magnificently staged with everything true to those
days. SOMETHING ABOVE THE AVERAGE. And more than
worth anyone’s time or money to see. The plane opens with
scenes in the northern part of Spain, which proud and fierce
people have never bowed to anyone. And with it we show
a FABLE and a reel of JOKES.
