PRICE TEN CENTS
SEWARD ARGONAUTS FINALLY
CONVINCED MAY HAVE
OVERLOOKED SOMETHING
Discussion of whether or not
there is ground open for location in
the Nuka Bay district is now going
forward in Seward on the heels of
the report of the phencmical show
ings in the Babcock and Downey
ground where the prettiest jewelry
rock found in Alaska is now show
ing up with indications of deep
seated ore bodies.
According to men who have been
in the district, the ground is only
part of a mineralized zone that ex
tends across the Kenai Peninsula
and that there are many outcrop
pings in the rugged country show
ing values that are still open to
location and which have potential
values. After several years of ef
fort it now appears that prospect
ors are really learning things about
Nuka Bay and those who “Let
George do it” are eager to get in
again in spite of the fact that ap
proaching winter will greatly ham
per their efforts.
Despite the fact that beautiful
rock has been brcuprhf, out there
still remains the truth that Nuka
Bay and Surprise Bay presents un
usual difficulties especially in the
winter time and yet the hills are
exhibiting the most alluring pos
sibilities in the way of ore and the
streams and timber are ready at
hand to furnish buildings, mine
timbers and power for operations
for what may now concede will be
one of the livest hard-rock camps
in Alaska. Grubstake agreements
are now being figured out for food
and supplies for location of ground
and winter prospecting. Local sup
ply houses are checking their or
ders to see if they have enough
blasting powder on hand or drills
to work into the surface showings
that Nuka Bay has evidenced.

ES CONTAMINATE AIR
WEST PALM BEACH, Sent. 21.:
i/Pi—A plague spectre lias appeared
over the Florida everglades scarce
ly five days behind the hurricane
which took between 500 and O'Jfi 1
lives.
The immediate problem is the i
recovery and burial of bodies. Liv-,
ing conditons in several refugee
camps have been made so nearly
impossible because of presence of
the unburied that evacuation of
camps within 48 hours is being
considered, unless some disposition
can be made of the dead in that
time.
Already the evacuation of women
and children from Parokee.
Bell Glade is nearly completed.
Men have been left behind as con
scripts in the battle against desease
All efforts to check the death list
have been adandoned but Governor
Martin came from an inspection
tour with National guard bearing
figures showing that soldiers have
already put 537 bodies in graves.
Deer Raid Field
Farmers To Avenge
ROCKSPRINGS, Tex., Sept. 21,
(JP)—Deer are invading the corn
fields in Edwards county. Farmers
complain of the
the deer, which leave the game
preserves, eat their fill of ripening
corn and then retreat to their pre
serves.
No fence can hold them out of
the field, for they leap over even
the wolf-proof structures. For
bidden by law to shoot the animals
at this season, the farmers can do
little more than try to drive them
out.
SAILS QUIT THE SEA
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 21. (JP)—Full
rigged sailing vessels, once the■
pride of Sweden’s ocean commerce, j
are being driven from the trade
lanes by modern steam and motor
slips. Only six of the old wind
jammers are in service and not one
of the brigs is carrying cargoes
where in 1905 there were 230 full
rigged ships and 69 brigs flying the
Swedish colors. • 1
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE COMES
OUT IN RINGING DENUN
CIATION OF FOES
OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept., 21, (/P)
—In a speech bristling with denun
ciation of those who he said were
making a religious issue of the
campaign Gov. A1 Smith appealed
to the voters of the Nation to be
unswayed by prejudice in making
their choice for President.
WIDELY CHEERED
Ho was cheered time and time
again as he ripped into the Klan
and the Republican National com
mittee; also Mrs. Wiliebrandt, As
sitant U. 8. Attorney General, and
Ex-Senator Owen of Oklahoma, as
well as a number of others, who
said had been misrepresenting
him before the country.
Smith defied his foes to find a
single instance where he had be
trayed the trust of the people of
New York while he was a legisla
tor and while Governor.
DRAG RED HERRING
The cry of Tammany he said,
“is nothing more or less than red
herring that is pulled across a trail
in ovder to throw us off the scent.”
He added; T Know what is be
hind it; it is my religion.” He de
clared he was discussing the cam
paign against him over his religion
for the last time and will hereafter
confine himself to talking about
public problems.
Smith charged Owens with at
tacking him through publication in
the Congressional Record of a let
ter he had written to Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, another
Democratic bolter, “averse to the
privilege of reading matter in
to the Record.”
He attacked Mrs. Willebrandt
for her recent address before a
Methodist group of clergymen in
Ohio urging that they work against
him. “There is separation of the
church for you,” he declared.
By the way the cheering greet
ed the Governor when he identi
fied himself as a Catholic and re
called that the Father’s in setting
up the American government had
expressed the determination that
religion was never to be consider
ed a qualification for public office,
he branded as a lie that he had
favored Catholics in making State
appointments. He gave figures re
inforcing the denial. Near the end
of his speech he said he did not
want any Catholic to vote for him
because of his religion.
