Maj. Gotwals Speaks
of Kantishna District
Anchorage Times.
Major J. C. Gotwals, speaking of the
Kantishna district, said there were
three outfits in the country employing
two or three men in each camp, and
these are gouging only rich pay
streaks.
A camp4s being established at Pla
cer, where a big outfit is being hauled
in, and another outfit will be set up on
Moose creek this season.
“Without wishing to appear too su
percritical,'’ said Major Gotwals, “I
believe it well to advise against a stam
pede into the Kantishna this season. 1
understand many men are contemplat
ing rushing into the region, but from
what I could leaan it is spotted and
covers a wide area, and those going in
seeking placer deposits would do well
to consider that there will be little
work for them if they are unsuccessful.
Therefore they should be prepared to
remain indefinitely and be financed for
ttie season. Prom information gath
ered it would appear that the region
has great possibilities, but until big
outfits capable of employing men while
they are not prospecting go into the
region there is no*source of revenue for
the prospector.
“The district is prolific in quartz
veins which are widely distributed. A
great deal -of additional development
will have to be made before big, per
manent camps are established. With
roads and these industries the. pros -
pector will come into his own.”
Asked as to a possible route into the
district, MrjorGotwals said that this
matter would receive consideration
when he reaches Juneau end can make
a complete analyais of the situation.
He is known to lean to a direct route
to the railroad, and it is believed the
shortest distance in this direction will
be about seventy-five miles.
The effort to restore Palestine as a
home for Jews is going to be a success,
according to Sir Alfred Mood, who has
just reached London from the Holy
Land. ‘’Palestine is a glorious state,”
he says, “which is suffering today from
centuries of neglect at the hands of the
Turks There is a vast amount of work
to be done. The country must be lit
erally' rebuilt, and there will be work
for three million people for years.”

MANY SHOTS
EXCHANGED
Between Striking Sail
ors and Policemen;
Sailor Killed.
Portland, June 23.—John Dar
rell, one of a party of eight
striking sailors, was shot and in
stantly killed last midnight by a
policeman.
The shooting occurred 'after
Darrell and the other sailors or
dered four policemen, whom they
believed to be non-union seamen
headed for the oil tanker City of
Remo, to throw up their hands.
Many shots were exchanged be
tween the two groups, Darrell
dying with revolver clasped in
his hand.
A'Brood of Grouse.
At a tender aye the young grouse is
led forth into a world of dangers and
delights—perils of hawk and cat and
weasel prowling through glades where,
for sustenance of the grouse brood, are
thriving . green things and where a
swarming insect population multiplies
daily in the moist warmth of the June
woods. Frail little creatures, the
grouse seem in those first ahxious days
when the mother leads them by road
i side and open trail at dawn, yet the
future covey of late summer scrambles
thrbugh the wilderness tangle of the
I --- 1 ‘ 1" -..
underwoods on active legs, and though
scattered by obstacles of sheer rock the
chicks keep well within hearing of the
maternal call and each other’s shrill
piping.
Very early in life the lesson of cover
is learned. At the warning signal of
the hen. as ciog and mad come into
sight t>’ne plpiug ceases, the chicks
crouch motionless among* the ground
litter, their soft brown and grey
speckled fluff a sufficient screen in nat
ural surroundings. On the road the
pantomime of the wounded bird is a
play for our diversion. Truly for our
diversion, for all the efforts of the hen
are to turn us aside from her brood.
With piteous cry and trailing vvinge
she limps a rod from us and collapses,
reviving miraculously as Hover’s jaws
are snapping above. Mindful of his
training and wise to the wavs of the
grouse, the old dog would yet play a
while at this.fascinating game, and the
hen humors*hitn to the full—drawing
always farther from the chicks Not
until long after, our departure is the
scattered family drawn together and
the foraging resumed.-*-Lx.
