the first lady silversmith to work
on the tableware.
Mrs. Fishburn expressed much
interest in local copper. She ex
pected to spend some time trac
ing copper nuggets while driving
to Valdez, her next stop. She
also was considering a side ex

copper. She will use the ore in
classwork next winter, if she
finds any in available and trans
portable pieces.
Miss Morrow, a junior in high4'
school, is a former student of
Mrs. Fishburn’s. She expressed
keen interest in the territory,
