"Youngblood Hawke”
Named Book-of-tke-Month
In 1951 Herman Wouk made
publishing history with “The Caine
Mutiny,” a gripping story of the
American Navy in the Pacific ir
World War II. A best-seller foi
more than two years, the winne
of the Pulitzer Prize, it sold more
than 2,500,000 copies in this coun
try and Canada alone.
In 1956 Mr. Wouk again hac
an impressive success with “Mar'
jorie Momingstar.”
What both novels demonstrated
was that Mr. Wouk is one of the
best story-tellers of our day, a
writer gifted with great productive
vitality and inventive powers. This
is again strikingly evident in his
newest novel, “Youngblood
Hawke,” the Book-of-the-Month
Club selection for June.

"MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL”
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
n The Little Creek “million dollar
r hotel” also known as the U.S.
- Smelting bunk house, built in 1925
a at the camp headquarters of the
e company, is rapidly disappearing.
f It has been sold to Barrow Mor
s. gan and Bob Harwood, who are
e in the process of tearing it down.
t This large familiar structure,
i. which had room for housing 138
r men was last used by the com
i pany in 1942.
- When roads were less accessable
> and cars less numerous, men em
r ployed by the mining company
t were housed and fed throughout
; the mining season. Gradually the
i pattern changed and the dredge,
drill and thawing crews were trans
i ported home each day. As the
' dredges worked away from Little
Creek the camp was moved to a
; more convenient location and in
l recent years, not even the mess
. hall has been used at the No. 5
- camp.
At one time this building was
considered a possibe location for
a summer tourist camp but the
deterioration and destruction due
to vandalism made it advisable to
sell and tear it down instead.
