C—Delegate A. J. Dimond was notified by the post office department of the ap pointment of Albert Wile as post master at Juneau, Alaska. Albert Wile is a well-known Al aska merchandise broker and in traveling over the territory in the interests of his business called for many years regularly at Cordova. He was recommended for the Jun eau postmastership only a few weeks by Delegate Dimond. He will succeed Mrs. Josephine C. Spic kett, whose term expired December 8. Wile is a veteran Alaskan and came to the territory in 1896. He has served as postmaster at Iditarod and at Ketchikan, and was a form er business man of Nome in the early gold rush days. Mrs. Spickett’s term expired on December 8 and the alacrity with which her successor was appointed indicates that the administration is losing no time in naming Democrats to succeed Republican incumbents. There will be four more postmas terships in Alaska to be filled with in the next few months, as follows: Anchorage, March 28 next; Cordova April 12; Ketchikan May, 29th. At Fairbanks there is an acting post master.—Cordova Daily Times.

The find is not large, it is under stood, but runs at $50 a ton and the operators expect to clean up a ton a day. Interest in Kodiak as a mineral area is becoming widespread, and the thought of prospecting is com ing to be general. There is another likely prospect back of English Bay on Eagle Harbor, Shannon of Ko diak is combing over this region with the view of settling down to serious development. Elmer Babcock is covering thej country back of Middle bay, and while a definite discovery has not been made the situation is one that encourages the prospector to be lieve that he is on the right track. One of the most interesting reports comes from Red River beach, where gold sand mining has been going on for some years, but which had notj attracted general attention until a comparatively recent date. The early diggings this season proved unprofitable on account of contrary weather conditions, and reports from there indicated that the men were about to give up for the season and call it a day.

Taking advantage of the situa tion the miners redoubled their ef forts and in a week some of them made a fair payday. Henry Nesbit was particularly fortunate, his plac er mine returns being $300 in eight days. Nesbit was formerly at Seldovia and the Lower Cook Inlet country in general, and a few years ago went to the westward in company with Henry "Hank” Russell They engaged in prospecting over a wide district, doing their own boating and packing and looking for mineral and oil deposits. They later parted company, Rus sell installing himself on Sitkalidak island as assistant to the cattle in terests being established there.

NEW EQUATION (By The Associated Press) PITTSBURGH, Dec. 31—Profes sor Albert Einstein announced today a simplified proof for mass equival ent and for many practical purpos es, identical new equations. He expressed encouragement that that branch of physical science in the next few years, will lay founda tions for a 'world more secure and comfortable. He got rid of the complicated el ectro-magnetic field theory with which this equivalence of mass or weight and energy heretofore has been proven, and used instead the simple collision of two material par ticles to prove the same thing. This was his first important speech in the Unite*! States and the first important announcmeent for the last several years. It was also his first speech in the English language. The address was given before the American Association for the Ad vancement of Science.
