were all covered with crystals.

MOTHER’S PENSION
IN ARIZONA STATE
PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 25.—The
state legislature has passed and the
governor signed the Mothers Pension
bill advocated by many of +>e reform
organizations, of the state. Under the
terms of the bill mothers left with
out means by death qy disability of
their husbands are to receive a pen
sion of $15.00 a month, while each
dd will receive $6.00 mon'hly.
The system of providing pensions
for mothers and children has been
found to work well in the state of
New Jersey, where it has been in
force for several years. Children are
cared for in private families with
state supervision so that the welfare
of the child is well protected. No
orphan asylums are necessary under
the new system, the familes being
kept together in the event of the
death of the father.

NOT INTERESTED
IN GOLD KING
i
George Hanson Was Interested In
Hecla Group and Other Valdez
Mining Properties.
—
Frank Gustaffson has informed the
Prospector that the statement in
Sunday’s Miner that George Hanson,
who died Saturday, was interested in
the Gold King mine was an error.
Deceased had no interest whatever in
the property. Hanson and Gustaff
son have been close personal friends
for years and jointly owned and oc
cupied the cabin where Hanson died.
Gustaffson and Hanson were inter
ested with Alex. Singletary and Tony
Dahlstrom in the Hecla group, orig
inally known as the Oregon group,
on Mineral creek. Deceased was al
so interested in the Sealey-Davis and
Valdez Mining companies, having
owned stock in both companies.
Hanson has resided in or near Val
dez since the fall of 3907. Prior to
that date he spent some time in the
Cook Inlet coun'ry. He was interest
ed in the development of the coun
try and always ready to lend a help
ing hand to enable miners to devel
op their properties.
Before coming to Alaska Hanson
lived in Concord, N. H. He was mar
ried there but later was divorced from
his wife. The couple had two boys
who remained with their mother. Be
fore his domestic troubles Hanson
was comfortably fixed financially, hav
ing owned a large block of land and
other property. When he parted from
his wife he turned over all his prop
erty in order that the children mlgnt
be properly cared for.
Deceased is also known to have a
sister living somewhere in the states.
