They are: Catchers — Ivy Wingo, “Jumbo” Barrett. Pitchers — Sherrod Smith, Nap Rucker, Erskine, Mayer, Weldon Henley, Ed Lafitte, Tiny Osborne, Frank Sparks, Phil Douglas, Kel- lar Hasty, Jimmy Lavender, Bob Smith. First base—Bill Terry. Second base—Jaay Patridge. Shortstop—Harry Holland. Third base — J. Carlisle Smith | snd Bob Barrett. Outfield—Ty Cobb, Red Wingo, i’leo Carlyle, Sammy Mayer, Roy arlyle, Burney Griffin. Those familiar with baseball of two decades ago easily recall the names of Weldon Henley, who won fame with Georgia Tech and later with the Philadelphia Athletics, and Frank Sparks, who starred with the old Philadelphia Nationals. Cobb, Rucker and Sherry Smith were next in order. Of a later era were Erskine Mayer, pitching hero of the Phils in 1915; Ed Lafitte, with Detroit; J. Carlisle Smith, third baseman of the world cham- pion Braves in 1914; Jimmy Lav- ender, right hander, with the Cubs, | and Ivy Wingo, former regular catcher for Cincinnati. Harry Hol- ! land started for Atlanta and was with Washington and Minneapolis about the same time. | Of a more recent vintage were Sammy Mayer, brother of Erskine. who performed in the Federal League, as well as with Atlanta, Little Rock, Louisville and Wash- ington, and Roy Carlyle, who play- ed with the Senators and Red Sox and is now back in the Southern League. Of the present crop of sparklers in the majors, Bill Terry, Red Win- g0 and Bob Smith are the leaders, while Jay Patridge, Jumbo Bar- rett, Tiny Osborne, Cleo Carlyle, Kellar Hasty and Burney Griffin are working in the highec class minors and doing well.

Any- thing it accomplishes to benefit this town is also of benefit to all | Alaska. | The potential possibilities of Al-! aska make it one of the most in-| viting parts of the whole country.' Its surface has merely beeni scratched for minerals and suc-! ceeding generations will uncover a greater mineral wealth than has - yet been produced fro mits mines. Alaska’s fish are carried to all' parts of the world and it is the| duty of the Territory to sec that the fisheries are protected and pre- served. The fur industry is in its infancy. laskan furs are recig- nized as among the finest in the world. The fur farming industry will become greater and more prof- | itable as time passes. i He predicted a great growth in the agricultural industry and de- picted the Territory as a future grain growing country. “We should be proud to be ploneers of the last | American frontier,” preparing for | a future powerful and rich com- monwealth, he said in conclusion. . Reindeer Indusiry Representatives Lomen, head of the Lomen reindeer interests on Seward Peninsula, portrayed gra- phically the present status of the i ble a permanent population over a wide area of Alaska that otherwise would remain practically uninhab- ited and will give to the American public an additional and welcome meat product. To handle the business, corrals, abattoirs, cold storage plants, range fences and cabins, transportation and a trained personnel are neces- sary. In the past three years the Lomen interests have put over $2,000,000 into the industry. The policy of the company, he pointed out, is to spend all possible money in Alaska rather than in the States believing that the “measure of suc- cess of our company in no small degree will be found in the devel- opment of the communities in which we do our work.” Use of Planes Airplanes will be utilized by the company in its operations, he said. “The airplanes has already done much for the industry and we ex- pect within a very few years the airplane will be used as the eyes and brains of our herdinz and roundups. We have already prov- en that by flying over a range for an hour that as much good can be accomplished in the way of locat- ing animals as four men can ac- complish in 10 days on foot.

Because of the fact that Treadwell Yukon, one of the Bradley intersts, is the prin- vipal producer in the district, the ontire output is shipped to the Bunker Hill & Sullivan smelter at Kellogg, Idaho. At present ore must be hauled by caterpillar trac- tor from Keno Kill to Mayo, and then by river steamer to the rail- road at Whitehorse. Construction of a railroad into the district, which would involve about 400 miles of track, would greatly stim- ulate operations, as transportation is now the most important item in production costs. On Keno Hill, the principal pro- ducing center of the district, Tread- well Yukon has several properties. the most important of which are the Wernecke and Lucky Queen mines. The Wernecke property is equipped with a 1,200 ton notation mill. Recently a cable tramway has been constructed to connect the Lucky Queen with this plant. In six months, the Lucky Queen has produced about 1500 tons of | ore. The company acquired the property only about a year ago. According to expectations, produc- tion for 1929 should be about 25 per cent higher. The main shaft is being deepened an additional 100 feet. Reseerve Mining, which | is controlled by the Marcus Daly estate, is also producing steadily from the Fisher and Lone Star mines, on Keno Hill. James W. Gerard is in charge of operations. On Galena Hill, Treadwell Yu- kon has two promising mines—the Brefalt and the Star. Sinking of a | 200-foot shaft is now under way on No. 1 vein at the latter prop- erty, and another shaft is being started on No. 2 vein. At the Bre- i | falt, about fourteen men are em- ployed, driving three tunnels. High- ! grade ore and considerable milling- grade ore was recntly struck on this property, and 6 a small dump has been started. Several surface uildings have ‘been erected this winter at both properties, including new hoist rooms, bunk houses, ore 3 L« CALIFORNIA' GROCERY For Bigger and Better Values e rves Delicious Bacon Here’s a real food for breakfast at any time of the year, and more especially so on fine, crispy mornings when the appetite craves something really substantial.

A possibility exists that the Gug- genheim interests will resume op- erations at their properties in the district, which have been idle for everal years. Yukon Gold, whick formerly was the leading gold- dredging company in the Dawson area, is the operating company fo these interests. About 40 miles north of the Keno Hill district a new fleld has been ¢pened up, known as the Beaver area. Consolidated Mining & Smelt- ing, of Canada, has taken m drills and next summer will conduct a drilling campaign on a group of claims on McKay Hill. Ore- has been found on several other hill: in the district, and about 500 claims have been located there. | At present all ore from the var fous mines in the Keno Hill dis- trict is hauled to Mayo by means of caterpillar tractors. The dlsmn:al is more than 40 miles, and the trip takes abcut eight hours. From | Mayo, shipments are taken about 180 miles down the Stewart River and 360 miles up the Yukon River, to Whitchorse, where they are! transferred to the railroad. This akes them 110 miles to Skagway, on the coast, where they are put »n the steamers that go down the coast to Seattle.
