The five per cent tax on dividends embodied in the National Recovery Act produced $658417 while the floor tax on wheat products, other than retail stocks, yielded $381,375. Another of the newer taxes, one that is exceeding the expectations of even its sponsors, is the tax on beer and wine. Receipts from the levy on fermented malt liquor, (beer), brought the Government $13936487. In addition special -taxes on brewers and dealers in the same beverage brought another $2,416,491, and fermented fruit juices added $305978, making a total of $16,- 658,896 from beer and wine. This is about at the rate of $200,000,000 annually as compared to the $125,000,000 estimated in Congress at the time the there National Prohibition Act was modified to make the sale of beer and light wine JES MENDING.

D. Stew;“‘f‘-inds Both Prospecting and Devel- opment Above Normal Prospecting and development of small mineral properties in the northern half of Southeast Alas- ka is being carried on more ex- tensively this year than for sev- eral years past, according to B. D. Stewart, Mining Supervisor for Alaska and Territorial Mine In- spector, who returned this week from an extensive trip of exam- ination of both prospects and op- erating mines in this district, omr| which he was away for twenty- one days. H Mr. Stewart visited many pros- pects, small developments, and the Jarge operating mines at Dundas Bay, Admiralty Island, Baranof Is- land, Chichagof Island, Kuiu Is- land, Kupreanof Island and Woe- wodski Island, using the motor boat Yakobi, Capt. Tom Smith, for transportation. New Prospects Visited Among the small properties and prospects which Mr. Stewart found interesting during his examina- tion were several gold prospects where the presence of gold was shown in areas where it had not been found previously, two miles from the head of Lizianski Inlet known as the Lucky Strike group of claims, which was discovered last year by Jack Koby while he was supervising a trail crew for the U. S. Forest Service. This property is reached by the trail from the head of Lisianski Inlet to the head of Hoonah Sound, going from the northern to the southern end of Chichagof Island, which was construcked two years ago by the Forest Service and makes the interior of the Is- land accessible. Vein Is Found Several large boulders, up to two or three tons in weight, which car- ried visible free gold were found in a creek and the source was found in a vein which was un- covered on a steep bank. Samples taken of this ore which were as- sayed gave encouraging results, Mr. Stwart said. Associated with Mr. Koby in this property are Charlie, Donald and George Skuse and several other Juneau people. In addition to that vein numer- ous other veins have been uncov- ered in the vicinity of Lisianskl Inlet but the values have not yet been determined, Mr. Stewart said. Another interesting prospect ex- amined by Mr, Stewart was at the head of Pinta Bay, better known as Deep Bay, on the West side of Chichagof Island near Portlock Harbor, known as the new Chich- agof group. Max Berrman and G. Osborne have done consider- able work on this property-in- cluding the digging of two tun- nels and large open cuts exposing a vein for a length of 400 feet, that in one place reaches a maxi- mum width of 18 feet. Is Interesting Property This property is especially inter- esting because of the fact that it is a new type of occurance for the Chichagof Island region, in that it is a gold bearing vein, in limestone, and also because of the size of the vein, according to Mr. Stewart. B “Among the numerous other prospects under development on the West Coast of Chichagof Is- land, another which deserves men- tion is the property of Frank Fox and George Bolyan,” Mr. Stewart declared. “They have resumed control of the property:'iormerly under optior to the Pinta Bay Mining Company, five miles from the head of Gouling Harbor, which is teached by means of a rail tramroad which was built by the Pinta Bay Mining Company. Mr. Cox and.Mr. Balyan have reha- bilitated it and are now installing a small Gibson “prospector's friend” mill, with which they plan to treat high grade ore found in the vein on the property. «Considerable interest is at- tached to the mill as it is a new type of milling equipment designed for small operators and the results of their work will be carefully watched by the owners of other small properties who may install similar mills if it ‘proves satis- factory,” Mr. Stewart declared.

Some Already Building Two lines operating west of Chi- cago—the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, and the Union Pacific— are building three-car “articulated” units which in appearance will bear out the most futuristic sketches of fast land-transportation visionaries. Delivery is scheduled before th2 end of the year. Other lines, including the New York Central and Illinois Central, through executives have manifested their interest in gasoline-motored cars for short haul passenger con-j veyance. Influence of the airplane and modern automobile in the new rail creations is unmistakable. The two proposed three-car units both are shaped on the “rain-drop” prln-l ciple for minimum air-resistance, while the single car also features: a bulging forehead and au air-| stream “tail.” H Cues from Airplanes Under-carriage machinery in the new models is enclosed in a boat- like hull, wheels are “aproned,” and even the “retractable landing gear™” principle is utilized in the form of| car-steps which fold up into the body. | Some stream-lining departures| are seen even in the big steaml trains of today that are part of! the Fair's transportation exhibit,| in the form of recessed headlights,| smoke-stacks and other engine-topf equipment, flush window sills, and| rounding off of heretofore square| corners. l Changes in Motive Power | Propulsion of these “rail planes”| will likewise depart from the steam | energy which has been used almosti universally by American roads.

Virginia Butler, Pacific Coast organizer of the child culture clubs. The clubs were devoted to child culture and the work was primarily one of education as to what children should see, do, etc. in order that they grow up into good citizens. —————oa Mrs. J. W.

Kirke LaSalle’s charming little three-act comic opera, “The Prin- cess Chic” was presented in a most satisfactory way by the Juvenile Bostonians at the Elk's Hall the previous night and a large crowd greeted thz talented players. It was announced that the en- tire town, offices, business houses, banks, and The Empire, would observe Labor Day by closing for the whole day. The first money began to pour into the Territorial Treasury from the various parts of the Territory. Territorial Treasurer W. G. Smith sued receipts to Secretary W. L. Distin, U. 8. Commissioner J. B. Marshall, U. 8. Commjssioner R. W. DeArmond, of Sitka, and U. S. Commissioner J. H. Romig, of Sew- ard. An important quartz strike was reported to have occurred at Wind- ham Bay which was confirmed by Gene Owens, who lived at Sum- dum, only ten miles away. He said there was a Guggenheim rhining engineer was there making an ex- haustive investigation of the re- ported strike. Joseph Meherin, popular com- man, had returned from an extended trip to the Interior and Seward Peninsula. ————— John Intlekofer was transferred from the Catalina Island base- ball team to the Los Angeles team of the Coast League after he had won 15 games in a row.
