Alaska In Mining
Production
SPOKANE, Wash. (^—Lower
ed mining production in Alaska
was contrasted with a “boom” in
British Columbia and the Yukon
Territory of Canada in addresses
before the 52nd annual convention
of the Northwest Mining associa
tion today.
Frank W. Woodside, Vancouver,
B. C., manager of the British Co-,
lumbia and Yukon Chamber of
Mines, said in an address that
that long-idle mining camps in
the two areas will surge into pro
duction again next year are that
large numbers of prospecting par
ties will go into isolated areas to
search for new deposits.
Citing a number of cases in
which new companies are having
success with old workings or
where the original companies are
turning out a good production
Woodside said the two areas will
produce an estimated $70,250,000
worth of ore by the end of the
year.
Another speaker, Ernest N. Pat
ty, president of Alluvial Golds,
Inc., Fairbanks, Alaska, said on
the other hand that “Alaska should
report a mineral production of
$50,000,000 to $100,000,000 annu
ally but this has been a bad year
for mining in Alaska and the to-:
tal production will not be more
than $10,000,000.”
Patty blamed the situation on a
squeeze between the rising cost of
labor and materials and the fixed
price of gold, $35 an ounce. He
urged following the lead of Can
ada in two respects.
He said now was a strategic
time to work for a bill such as is
now in effect in Canada—the new
mines act which exempts all new j
mines from Dominion taxes dur
ing the first three years of pro
duction.
He also advised adoption of the
prospector’s grubstake plan which
he said is working out well in
British Columbia.
“Many of the large Canadian
mining companies actually em
ploy prospectors as such — put
them into the field and give them
a cut on anything worthwhile that
they discover.”
Patty said “no one can deny that j
Alaska is the most favorable area
in the United States for the dis
covery of new mines but we just
aren’t getting the prospectors into
the hills.” He recommended that
they be subsidized by the Terri
tory of Alaska or the federal gov-!
ernment when the next unemploy
ment sets in.

British Drop Five
Tons Of Food To
Shipwrecked Jews
JERUSALEM. (JP) — British
bombers dropped five tons of food
and supplies today to 800 Jews
sh pwrecked on Syrina Island,
near the Dodecanese, while en
route to Palestine.
The British destroyers Chevron
and a minesweeper were cutting
through the Mediteranean towrad
the lonely island, 90 miles north
west of Rhodes. Four Halifax
planes carried the relief supplies
to the Jews through weather one
veteran pilot described as "the
worst I ever saw in the Mediter
ranean.”
The materials dropped by the
planes were supplied by the Jew
ish agency and hauled to the air
port last night by agency trucks,
Flight Lt. Allen Ross, com
mander of the expedition, said the
Jews were sheltered in a valley on
the barren island. Their ship was
believed to have foundered in high
seas Saturday during an attempt
ed dash for Palestine. Bad weather
prevented flying yesterday.
The Jewish agency said mos1
passengers were believed rescued
Other reports listed eight as miss
ing.
As one moth said to another:
‘‘It’s nice to be back in a uniform
again.”
