Insul answers| “here,” and defends himself with eight attorneys. Once no important Chicago social | function was considered a success without his presence. He was a leader in the business world, a pat- ron of the theatre and the arts. He gave the Chicago Civic opera a skyscraper home and built for him- self an English style penthouse on its top. It was his town home. His | country estate was staffed with servants. Now the picture is changed. His town and country homes are gone. f yHis vast fortune is said to have been lost in the crash that brought down his four billion dollar utili- ties set-up.

He is reported to be writing a book detailing his experiences as NRA administrator, but anyone around Washington will bet his last dollar that its pages will be free of anything of this sort. “I will never raise so much as a little finger to influence . . . any- thing about NRA,” he promised. “When you are out you are out.” PLACER WIiNING IN CASSIAR DISTRICT Ben Cambron who recently re- turned to Wrangell from his placer {claims on Gold Pan in the Cassiar ccuntry says that the placer min- ing industry is looking up con- siderably in that country and that miners ‘have done much better than heretofore during the season ith the help of three recently constructed a 110- foot dam capable of holding nine feet of water which will be used for ground sluicing operations. Twelve-foot lagging faced with moss and reinforced with sod squares with 20-foot spruce braces six feet apart formed the main dam. There is a seven by ten auto- matic gate and a four by eight curtain gate. There is a reason for renewed optimism in his section of the Cassiar, Cambron says, for all of the miners are doing well and the prospects for very much in- creased production next season seem assured. In some sections, notably Mosquito Creek, hundred dollar pans have been obtained. .. — SHOP IN JuNEaT! for stocking purposes inj the vicinity of Sitka under the | Territorial legislative stocking pros i gram | This group completes the pheas- tant stocking authorized in the| Sitka distriet by the last Terri-| torial Legislature, Mr. Goddard | said Altogether 225 birds have been liberated since September 1, he declared. Early, in September 175 birds were liberated and from | all indications they are doing well, | ,he observed. Several years ago residents of Sitka liberated a few pair of | pheasants, and though an odd bird or two was later seen, it had been impossible to obtain definite in- formation as to their progress, Mr. Goddard stated. However, shortly after the first liberation of young pheasants by the game commission | this fall, eighteen old birds were noticed by them, which indicates that the original pairs liberaded by the Sitka residents have propagat- ed and thrived, he declared e HIGHWAY LEAVES FOR PETERSBURG TO BRING' M.
