Sheriff Outwits His Kidnaper
After Wild Ride, Slugs Him on
Jaw, Shoots Him in the Stomach
MARTINEZ, Calif., UP—Deputy
Sheriff Harry Haring outwitted
his kidnaper, an escaped convict,
after a wild ride Saturday, hit the
man on the jaw and shot him.
Wounded in the stomach, James
F. Goldman, 38, of Sacramento,
Calif., who had abducted Haring
at dawn in Madera, was taken to
a hospital.
The climax to the wild chase—
during which police cars and
planes had pursued Haring’s car
—occurred in Martinez.
Haring said he turned to Gold
man, who was holding a gun at
the deputy’s head, and remarked:
“Look up at that street sign
and see what street you want me
to turn on.
“When he turned to look, I hit
him on the jaw, then grapped his
gun and shot him.”
Haring said he had slammed
on the car’s brakes, which threw
the unsuspecting Goldman for
ward.
Officers immediately surround
ed the car after Haring stopped
it and took the wounded Gold
man into custody.
Haring arrested Goldman early
Saturday and was booking him
at the Madera County jail when
the man snatched a snub-nose
revolver from his belt and forced
Haring into the sheriff’s car.
Then he embarked on a long,
desparate flight north thru Ma
dera, Merced, Stanislaus and San
Joaquin Counties, into Contra
Costa County where the Sacra
mento and San Joaquin Rivers
join to flow into San Francisco
Bay. The airline distance is about
125 miles.
Even in the stone age, when
cave women wrote down their
ages miladies were chiseling.
FIRE HYDRANT THIEF
SAN FRANCISCO, Itf)—A fire
hydrant thief is on the prowl in
this city. Eight have been stolen
in the past few days.
All were taken from the South
Basin wartime housing site, now
being razed.
The engineer in charge of the
project said the thief unbolted
the hydrants and lifted them in
tact. There was no water in the
mains.

Alaska Mining
News Notes
By Terrilorial Depl. of Mines
(June TDM Bulletin'
NEW LAND REGISTRATION
LAW PROVISIONS
Under a law passed by the 1957
Territorial Legislature, provisions
for redeeming land declared de
linquent under the Land Regis
tration Law are now more liberal.
All land, including patented
mining claims which had not been
declared by the owners were list
ed as delinquent in published lists
last fall, and were to be fore
closed upon by the territory 60
days after final publication date
unless redeemed in the mean
time.
This procedure was changed to
one in which the lists are given
to the U.S. district court for court
action in which the listed delin
quent properties will be awarded
to the territory.
The last owner of the property
has until one year after the court
action awarding the land to the
territory in which to redeem his
property by paying the penalties
and costs to the Territorial De -
partment of Lands and declaring
ownership. The lists have gone to
the court, but to our knowledge,
no court action has been taken.
TDM PROSPECTORS
RENTAL EQUIPMENT
We have acquired a new drill
under our prospectors rental
equipment program. It is one of
the new Atlas Copco gasoline
jack hammers.
Presently at the Juneau office,
it can go to any part of Alaska,
depending on the applications for
its use. The rental will be on the
same terms as for the diamond
drills, and it is expected that this
drill will be kept quite busy.
ASSESSMENT WORK
PROPOSAL
It has once again been proposed
in Congress that the mining laws
be amended to allow the expense
of geophysical or geochemical
surveys to be applied as assess
ment work on unpatented mining
claims.
The bill (S.2039), by Sen. Bible
of Nevada, would not exclude
any of the existing legal types of
assessment work but would allow
the cost of modem exploration
methods if the claim holder so
wishes.
Congressional observers state
that the proposed measure has
more backing this year than in
the past and has a fair chance of
passing.
