From recent correspondence and
field ctnoacts with owners of
' minning claims throughout Alaska
I it has become apparent that many
• of them are unfamiliar with the
terms and application of the
| special act of congress now in
1 effect, that exempts Alaskan min
ing claim owners from the re
quirement that assessment work
be performed on hteir ground
- during the assessment year ending
July 1. 1948. It was said today by
j B. D. Stewart, territorial commis
! sioner of mines. This special law
provides ahtt if a claim owner
•which applies only to Alaska,
files within the year ending July
1, 1948, a notice of hiso'esire to
hold his claim ho will thus protect
his ground without the necessity
of doing assessment work. Notice
of desire to hold mining claims
should be filed in the office of
the U. S. Commissioner for the
recording precinct in which the
'claims are located. Under the ex
listing law exemption from the
assessment work requirement will
end at noon onJuly 1, 1949 in
order to hold the claim. To avoid
this necessity, it will be necess
ary for another exemption law to
be passed before July first next.
At the request of the delegate
from Alaska the commissioner of
; mines is endeavoring to deter
mine the prevailing sentiment
with regard to the desirabltv and
i
justifability of having a bill in
i troduced in congress providing for
further exemption beyond the
period covered by the existing law.
Claim owners and others who are j
most directly affected and entitl
ed to state an opinion on the
question are intvied to express
their convictions by addressing a
; letter on the subject to the com
I missioner of mines, Box 2811.

. . . the safecracker said it was
nothing—that he was just clean
ing up ... so he brushed him
self off and thenleft. Two officers
walked into a locker room to pre
pare for duty . . . after exchang
ing a few pleasant words, one
askeo*: "Did you ever see anyone
commit suicide?” ... he then
placed his gun to his head and
i fired . . . dying instantly. A dope
peddler passed off 25 cans of opi
um, valued at 40,000 or more . . .
he warned the buyer to beware
of initiations . . . shortly after,
the buyer knew the value of
that warning . . . because the 25
cans he bought . . . contained1 not
opium but white flour.

In the Crosby family, Bing has
held the screen spotlight all by
himself. But he’ll have competi
tion before long. He and his four
sons have been signed by Walt
Disney for the film. “Two Fabul
ous Characters”. They’ll not be
seen but you’ll hear their voices.

Something new on Sunset StriD
—a liquor parking store. After
closing-hour drinkers need no
longer go thirsty. Simply rent a
locker at the store, deposit your
liquor, then pick it up any time
of the night you may want it.
Kind of handy for the imbibers.
Because of the British market
loss, over 50 per cent of the ac
tors and actresses under contract
at the major studios have been
oYopped from the payrolls to free
lance by themselves. But watch
the studios wail if two or three
of those players develop into top
money-making stars.

Sport lovers would welcome the
opportunity to hunt deer on Cat
alina Island which is 25 miles or
so from the mainland. More than
2500 are running wild and pre
senting quite a problem. There's
not enough feed to go around
No hunting is permitted because
tourists woulc? be endangered.
So something will have to be
done to cut down the excessive
propagation.

Because of the drouth, Californ
ia may have daylight saving time
in an effort to conserve power.
Many of Southern Californians
would welcome the change. It
darkens here quickly after the
sun goes down. But the change
I would prove costlv. If it contin
ued for a year, the power depart
ment would lose around1 $400,000
a year.

Speaking of the drouth, it must
he effecting the drinkers, too.
Californians are consuming1 less
wines and distilled spirits and
more beer. According to the Board
of Equalization, taxes on alcohol
ic beverages dropped more than
20 percent whereas beer gained
12 per cent. Of course, higher
living costs may have something
to do with it.
FOR THE OLD TIMERS—1935
13 years ago—Bebe Daniels scores
1 in “Music is Magic” after being
off the screen for some time..
I Jack Gilbert tested for a role in
; "Captain Blood”, but the part
, then went to Basil Rathbone . . .
j Jack’s tumble from top to bottom
of the ladder is oe of Hollywood’s
mysteries. Margot Grahame. the
latest beauty from England, will
play the Milady role in “The
Three Musketeers.” Mae West
and her sister, Beverly, have com
pleted arrangements to open a
Chinese chow mein eatery in Los
Angeles. Jack Coogan. Sr. killed
in an automobile accident . . .
son, Jackie, seriously injured.
Tom Mix is returning to the
screen soon . . . fans want him
back. Charlie Chaplin’s new pic
ture will be called “The Waif.”
at least for the time being . . .
but the question is. will Charlie
talk? William Hains’ decorating
business is booming . . . he’s
building a new shop. Betty
Compson is now staying in San
Francisco . . . last heard of, she
was getting married in Albuquer
que, N. M.

ODDS AND ENDS—Errol Flynn
was ill and it has cost the studio
a nice piece of change . . . but
he ana* the studio hope to finish
“Don Juan’’ by the end of the
month . . . unless Flynn has an
other relapse. James Mason, Brit
ish star, ran into problems when
he arrived recently ... if he
takes advantage of the picture
deals offered him, he may stay
here for a long time. “Horses
don’t on people” is the title of
a new proo'uction coming up soon
... maybe it’s a good thing they
don’t. Carole Mathews, "Miss
Chicago”, has an important role
in Alan Ladd's new picture, “The
Great Gatsby.” The Kathryn
Grayson-Frank Sinatra film, “The
Kissing Bandit” is going to have
added support . . . Ann Miller,
Cyd Charisse and Ricardo Mont
alban will do a special cfance se
quence in the film. Valentina
Cortese. Italian star, will play op
posite Tyrone Power in “Prince
of Foxes.” Shelly Winters, who
scored in “A Double Life,” is
heading for big things . . . she’s
hailed as another Jean Harlow
type.
