TROUBLE AT THE VICTORY CELEBRATION
Mvstery: \\ ho
Owns 8200.000
Worth Silver Ore
HELENA, Mont. iF — Eventual
ly someone may step forth to claim
two railroad cars of silver ore
worth about $200,000.
But meanwhile it stands on a
track inside the yards of the East
Helena plant of the American
Smelting and Refining Co., and
costs are piling up fast.
The shipment came from White
horse. in the Yukon Territory, but
no one knows who owns it. A
bill of lading with the ore indi
cates it was send by Gerald Henry
Priest from Elsa, 220 miles north
of Whitehorse.
Stanley Lane, manager of the
East Helena plant, says the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation has
visited the smelter, and the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police is in
vestigating the mysterious ship
ment.
Lane said that a short time be
fore the cars arrived, he received
a call from the United Keno Hill
Mining Co. near Whitehorse ask
ing him to hold up work on the
ore until its owner is located.
He said it is probable that the
fellow has found a deposit of ore
that he doesn't want anyone else
to locate, or perhaps there is some
question of the ownership of the
claim from which the ore wa:
mined."
J.L. Vachon, an inspector of the
RCMP. said the ore is believed t<
have been sent by rail fron
Whitehorse to Skagway, Alaska
and then by boat to the U.S. main
land. It arrived in Helena from
the west coast by rail.
Lane said the cost of leaving the
ore standing on the railroad sid
ing is "piling up pretty fast, bu1
I guess that the value of the ore
will pay all costs when it is
finally smelted."

NOTICE
The State of Alaska, Department of
Public Works, Division of Aviation in
tends to negotiate a contract for rental
of construction equipment to be used in
accomplishing bush airfield projecs at
Nightmute and Tanunak. Alaska and
will receive proposals until Aug. 15. 1963.
Nightmute and Tanunak are neighbor
ing communities located on Nelson Is
land and are approximately 130 air miles
west of Bethel.
The work at Nightmute will consist of
borrowing, hauling and placing an es
timated 15.000 cubic yards of fill mat
erial. The material is believed to be
primarily silt and will be placed in an
overlay on tundra and muskeg. Length
of haul to the nearest end of the land
ing strip will be approximately 1.000
feet. As the overlay progresses, the
length of the haul will increase.
The work at Tanunka will consist of
grading a crowned landing strip having
a tight, well compacted surface using
the gravelly material at hand on the
site. No estimate is made of the quan
tity of material to be moved, but the
work should be easily and quickly ac
complished.
No further information is available
concerning these projects, other than the
verbal clarification that may be obtained
from personnel of the Division of Avia
! tion. It is the intention of the Division
of Aviation to field design the projects.
The work will be accomplished by the
contractor's forces under the supervision
of the Division of Aviation.
Proposals should list the construction
equipment available, together with
hourly rental rates for each type of
equipment. Rental rates should include
cost of operation, fuel, lubricants and
incidentals. The contractor will be ex
pected to house and feed his crew it
necessary. Proposals should also list
size, capacity, model, etc. and the es
timated condition of the equipment
available. It is believed that the mimi
mum equipment necessary is two bull
dozers equipped with crawler tractors
similar in size to the Caterpillar D-8
together with one tractor drawn scape:
of at least 12 cubic yards struck capa
■ city. Costs of transporting the equip
ment to the sites may be included ii
the rental rates proposed, or a flat rat'
> for transportation of equipment may b
. be quoted.
’ Proposals will be opened on Augus
15, 1963 in the office of the Directoi
Division of Aviation, 523 Eighth Avenue
- Anchorage. Alaska. The Division of Avi
> ation will evaluate the proposals re
ceived and will negotiate a contra;
1 with the firm submitting the best prc
posal.

Grueiiing Asks President
Take Action to Keep Russ
Fish Boats Out of Alaska
WASHINGTON OF — Sen. Er
nest Gruening has asked President
Kennedy to take “prompt and vig
orous action” to keep Russian fish
ing vessels out of Alaska waters
and arrest violators of the three
mile limit.
In a telegram, Gruening said
two protests bv Gov. William A.
Egan to the State Department
against the invasion of Russian
boats “seem to be unavailing.
The Russian w hale catchers,
Gruening said, are faster than any
Coast Guard or naval vessel in Al
askan waters. He renewed his plea
of a year ago for assignment of
two destroyers to patrol duty.
“These violators could be ar
rested and brought to trial, and
this cannot be done with the in
adequate naval and Coast Guard
equipment now available,” the
senator said. He added:
“I find it difficult to see how
we can be asked to sign a treaty
which implies friendlier relations
with Russia when the Russians are
now continually violating inter
national law and other treaties re
specting our waters.”

Demand Proof
Test Ban Increases
U.S. Security
By ERNEST B. VACARO
WASHINGTON UP— Republi
cans are demanding President
Kennedy prove his claim that the
limited nuclear test ban treaty
will increase U.S. security.
The proof will be sought when
military and scientific experts are
questioned in hearings on the
treaty, said Republican Leader Ev
erett M. Dirksen of Illinois.
In sending the pact to the Sen
ate Thursday, Kennedy said the
ban on atmospheric, space and
underwater blasts “will assure the
security of the United States bet
ter than continued unlimited test
ing on both sides.”
The United States could make
further progress in its weapons
program if atmospheric tests were
continued, the President said, but
“so would the Soviet Union and,
indeed, so could other nations.”
He continued in the 1,500-word
message: “It should be remember
ed that only one atomic test was
required to complete the develop
ment of the Hiroshima bomb.
Clearly the security of the United
States—the security of all man
kind — is increased if such tests
are prohibited.”
Underground tests are not bar
red and the President has said
they will be continued.
In Washington, Moscow and
London Thursday, officials of 34
other nations signed the pact. It
is expected to pick up more sig
natures today and Saturday. The
State Department says 62 nations
have announced they intend to
sign and more than 100 are ex
pected to do so eventually.
Dirksen made his call for proof
of U.S. security after Sen. Barry’
Goldwater, R-Ariz., told the Sen
ate that the record on which the
treaty must stand or fall has yet
to be made.
Goldwater said the Senate must
act on facts, not on “assumptions,
hopes, fears and fantasy.”

New Money Management
Plan Now Operating
The Alaska Department of High
ways is now one of eleven states
that has developed its financial
management program to a degree
whereby the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads pays reimbursible
funds each month as bills are sub
mitted.
Before development of this pro
gram, the State was required to
wait—sometimes as long as three
years—for the BPR to audit all
the records before payment could
be made. This is of serious con
cern for a state agency that spends
$40 million a year of federal re
imbursible funds.
The new program will replace
state money sooner; this creates a
fatter bank account for the state
and releases this money for other
uses.
It was realized that there was
a need to do something about the
method of accounting that was
being used, and Gov. Egan re
quested an appropriation by the
1962 session of the Alaska State
Legislature to get the ball rolling
to develop a new system. This ses
sion appropriated $100,000 to em
ploy a firm of accounting consult
ants to coordinate state employes
efforts toward a concurrent audit
program, and an additional $43,350
for the Department of Highways
to implement the system.
But this $143,350 will be re
turned many times, according to
Highways Administrative Director
Richard G. Berg, “not only in sav
ings to the state by eliminating a
cumbersome accounting system,
but by freeing state funds that
would otherwise be held up until
the federal government completed
its audit.”
