Excellent as was the showing made by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company in its mining | operations here last year, when earnings per share reached the highest mark yet attained by that com- it was not that feature as set forth in Presi- pany dent Bradley’s annual report that made the dsepest impression financial circles. The statement of Mr. B v relative to richer ore being developed for mining at d by them as being of highest significance. This is indicated by a short paragraph appear- in ing in “Wall Street Brevities” section of the Bos- ton News Bureau, Eastern financial publication. This said: While Alaska Juneau recorded an increase in per share earnings last year, much more | is being given the discussion by President of the new ore discovery and the progress made in develop- ing the prope It is contended that by the end of this year, when production from the new ore body will be on a large scale, earnings should record substantial increases over those of the corresponding months of attention the Company’s last year.

Cost of mining, he estimated, would average $1 per ton for the low | grade and $1.30 for the high grade.

It is a great property today, one of the Territory’s most valuable assets. It will be a greater one because of the ore body described by Mr. Bradley. As it waxes more prosperous, Juneau will be a bigger and better community, and its own prosperity will reflect that of the mine. ALASKA LOSES GOOD FRIEND The death the other day of Congressman Albert H. Vestal of Indiana, Republican House Whip, re- moved one of Alaska’s best friends from Congress where he was a forceful and influential member He was an able and upright man The writer was personally and agreeably ac- quainted with Mr. Vestal and speaks from first hand knowledge when he writes of him. In the winter of 1917-18 they lived in the same hotel in Washington—the George Washington Inn. Mr. Ves- tal had just come to Congress with several other young Republicans who had succeeded Democrats by the turn over in Indiana in 1916. At that time Mr. Vestal of the Eighth Indiana District and Fred S. Purnell, who came to Congress under similar circumstances from the Ninth District, were picked as men who would go a long way in the National legislature. They have been re-elected at every election since 1916 and have been rated as among the leaders in the House. They were among the | four Republicans of the Indiana delegation survived the Democratic vietory in 1930, though Mr Vestal had a narrow escape, winning by only eight plurality. Mr. Vestal visited Alaska a few years ago. He spent sometime making a study of the Territory, and he has given persistent and intelligent aid to the Territory. LUMBER MILLS REOPE The opening of the Juneau Lumber Mills, just heralded, gives timely relief to the unemployment situation in this city. Like all others engaged in the lumbering industry, the local company has had to face many serious problems during the past two years, and for the current season at least it must operate under severe market hun fileed its difficulties courageously in the past and, des- pite them, has not only maintained its operations but has gone ahead with plant betterments that ‘have increased its efficiency and made it a more valuable property to its owners, mainly local stock- holders, and to the community. The addition of a payroll listing some 100 or more employees is a minor matter to the com- munity. It means many who have been unable 10 obtain employment are back at work.

In every historical period that produced a great culture, conversation has been a fine art. Leisure and intellectual search combined to make the inter- change of thought the richest pleasure of human | beings. | Writers and scholars, scientists and painters, all have recognized this and show invariably a tendency to gather in cliques and talk interminably. For it |is through the constant crossfire of conversation, | even more than patient work in solitude, that creative effort arises. It is as though the flame of |an idea could be generated only from the flint and steel of minds in action. If this is true, it is no wonder that many thought- ful persons in America have despaired at times of the renaissance of art and a richer culture in this {country. For conversation has been notoriously in Free from the confining duties of their work for many hours each |day men and women have gathered in blatant night clubs, where deafening jazz precludes con- versation; in movies, where talk is taboo, or nearly |so, and in luncheon clubs, where the talking is done by the speaker of the day and conversation is con- |fined between bites. { Those who entertain at home have felt obliged to play bridge, supply music for dancing, or invent; some new and weird game to divert their guests. |But merely talking, what a bore! There are some signs that this is changing, that {the lost art of conversation is recovering its one- |time prestige. Certainly the hysteria of the night] |club is losing its savor, and quiet places to chat |are drawing the crowds. Economy inspired by de- ‘prvwon may have something to do with the trend | towards quieter diversions. the radio. In the home, the logical place to I PR | In Sound of Bow Bells. (New York Herald Tribune.) To be a true Londoner, according to ancient be- lief, one must be born within sound of Bow Bells. Now the famous chimes of Saint Mary-le-Bow, in ‘Cheapsxde. are to be reconditioned through the gift of an unnamed American so that they may continue the audible symbols of citizenry in the British capital. Perhaps none of the bells of the world are so celebrated both in history and in romantic legend as are those of the church designed by the great Wren in 1671 to replace an earlier structure dating from the eleventh century. Even before that date Bow Bells were a popular London tradition of long standing and figured large in song and story. “He was born within sound of Bow-bell” said Fuller in his “Gnomologia” when he wished to signify a true Cockney. “Turn again, Whittington, Lord Mayor of London,” they chimed to the penniless youth at |Holloway when he debated leaving the city forever, land so powerful was their spell that he returned to fortune and high office. When the Exchange grasshopper dragon from Bow Shall meet, in London shall be much woe, is the text of an ancient popular jingle referring |to the nine-foot dragon which surmounts Bow belfry and ser as weather vane. The fateful and im- probable meeting actually did take place in 1832, when both the vanes were sent to the same repair shop for refinishing, but there were no dire con- sequences to London Town. The ecclesiastic Court of Arches takes its name from having originally met lin the vestry of Saint Mary-le-Bow, whose name it in turn derived from the vaulted arches upon which the structure stood. The twelve bells of today first were rung to celebrate a birthday of the third George, and Bow Bells at vespers were a familiar part of the daily chonology of an earlier and less metropolitan London. Now Bow Bells will sound for American visitors to England as a pleasant reminder of their own share in many antiquities of the Mother Country. and the The policy of the League of Nations in the {Chinese war may have seemed weak, but its true ‘pmpose is now beginning to emerge.

And almost at once that she was in Bridbe- water. Her first shock and hurt gave way to puzzlement at that. She stared at the brief lines, stup- {1dly. Gar thought che had gone heme! Pound had not told him— And ithen deep in her heart a little flame of hope kindled and grew. |Gar surely had written to her at Bridgewater before he went away —He wouldn’t go away without ome word. All the dreary discouragement, the ache of waiting lifted from her. Of course Gar hadn’t worried about her because he thought she was home with her father and mother. He'd shown himself stubborn, but she could smile even at that, now, in her great relief. She could think of his going away with his mother without any "anger. It wouldn't be for ' long—conferences. that brought important, busy people together never lasted long—and then he'd come back (o find her. But if a letter went to Bridge- water addressed to her, her family would think that something was wrong! She considered such a com- piication, a little dismayed. She had not told her father and mother that she was alone on Ketchum Street. She had worded carefully one letter to them letting it give them the impression that she and Gar were in an apartment of their own. She'd hated the decelt but she hated more telling them all that bad happened. They'd believed so simply in hers and Gars' happiness. She could telegraph them. She pushed her uneaten breakfast away from her and went out hurriedly; sho could not waste so much as a minute. She remembered a tele- graph office near the Times build- ing. “Gar gone to Denver with his mother. Planned to visit you while he was away but found it impossi- ble.
