MALHEUR ENTERPRISE FORMER VALEITES (Continued from page 1) that the propped of leading a regiment of Alaskans would be very alluring to him. To Hant Deara With Beach. "I expect to be joined by Rex Beach next September," said the former Northerner, "and we will do a' little bear hunting together. In the mean time I will drift around Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska and may take a short trip to the Interior. Mr. Hebron and I will first visit the proper ties we have optioned. One of them, I have been credibly Informed already hia more than $500,000 worth of ore blocked out ready for stoping. We are taking up other properties. More than enough have been offered for sale and there are many good ones among them." Major French and Hex Beach have been great friends and inseparable companions for many years. Both are sharpshooters, and last year on a game preserve owned by the former in South Carolina they established a joint rec ord in wingshooting ducks and geese. Beach wrote the following tribute to his friend in a foreword for "Seward's Land of Gold," one of Major French's books: "I am glad to write a foreword for these interesting and accurate notes on conditions as they exist on the Sew ard Peninsula, and it is my privilege to speak of their author ad I grew to know him in the far North. "Major French is, first and always, a man of rare executive ability, wide practical knowledge, and brimming ov er with that pcarcc and valuable quali ty known on the frontier as 'hustle.' His familiarity with the mining prob lems of Northwestern Alaska is com plete and gained at first Jiand. It is not alone theoretical, for he follows operations personally in boot and flan nel. It would be difficult to find one more versed in the actualities of that region or who could know better of what he writes, or write better of what he knows. Typical Western Qualities "The major's early training in ranch life, had, doubtless, much to do with the development of his powers of en durance, and with his skill in horse manship, marksmanship and athletics. It Is unusual to find such typically West ern qualities combined with the studi ous habits for which he is equally well known. During hia sojourn at Nome, the better to understand the somewhat complicated laws, and to assist as he has donein urging the adoption of new and better ones, Major French has made a thorough study of mining law and has been admitted to the bar. "After haying spent years in the study of medicine, both in America and abroad, he had scarcely commenced the practice of his profession in the Nat ional capital, when the Spanish-American war broke out. Notwithstanding his fondness for surgery, he chose ra ther to command men on the firing line than hospital stewards, and accepted a commission as major in the Third U. S. V. Cavalry. At the close of the war he surrendered his commission to engage in mining in Alaska. "It was my good fortune to meet him there, on the edge of things, where men deal in big ventures and are strip ped of their trappings of civilization; and it was my further fortune to watch him help in the upbuilding of a great realm. His book is too modest and omits many highly interesting anec dotes simply because he refuses to use the personal pronoun to tho extent that would be necessary. The part he has played in the development of the Sew ard Peninsula, however, has not been a modest one, but through it all ho hns been the same aggressive, energetic worker, strenuous and keen, yet self contained, reliable and capablo." i Z3 ajiMMM Z3 . .
