Alaska's mineral and construc
tion industries will get a boost this
year from research conducted by
the new Mineral Industry Research
Laboratory established at the Uni
versity of Alaska.
University professors are carry
inb out an intensive research pro
gram under a $50,000 grant author
ized by the 1963 State Legislature
to establish the Research Labora
tory as part of the College of Earth
Sciences and Mineral Industry.
Under study are methods of fur
ther tapping Alaska’s vast mineral
potential and developing raw ma
terials needed for construction ma
terials which are now imported.
Earl Beistline, Dean of the col
lege, explained that the professors
on the research staff are working
on problems in several parts of
the State.
Blending studies are being made
on coals from the Matanuska area,
and Beryllium ores found on the
Seward Peninsula are under study
in an effort to upgrade them to a
salable quality.
Near Fairbanks, where there
are deposits of lead, antimony, gold
and the researchers are studying
better prospecting and exploration
methods.

Highway Dept. Reaches
S'O-Miliion Goal
The Alaska Department of High
ways has reached the goal of a $70
million highway program as fore
cast earlier this year. Deputy Com
missioner Robert E. Sharp said
Saturday in an address to the Alas
ka Municipal League convention
in Seward.
By the end of the year the total
figure will be even greater than
the predicted amount, Sharp
pointed out, as the Highway De
partment will continue to call for
bids and let contracts throughout
the winter. More than $8 million
worth of new projects is in the
final stage of pre-construction and
will be advertised before the end
of December. In addition, the De
partment has more than $10 mil
lion under advertisement now with
bid openings scheduled within the
next few weeks, Sharp said.
As the construction season comes
to a close, the Department of High
ways shows $20 million worth of
construction work completed, and
a 250 million carry-over to next
construction season.
“This, of course, leads us to pre
dict an even greater highway con
struction season next year . . .
without question the highway pro
gram is a vital growing industry
in the State of Alaska,” Sharp told
the group.

THE DISCOVERY OF ALASKA -
Alaska's Mainland First Sighted
(Continued)
I
By BOB REDDING
CHAPTER XI
For three days Commander Ber
ing frantically combed the 46th
parallel within the bounds agreed
upon. When it became obvious that
the St. Paul would not be found.
Vitus called a meeting of officers.
“We agreed to look for only
three days,” he admitted, “but I
want another 24 hours to go farth
er south.”
Lt. Waxcl was surprised. “But,
sir,” he protested, "Captain Chir
ikov surely will not be below the
46th. He won't be expecting you
there.”
“Nevertheless, I want to take
the chance.”
For once the commander’s pres
tige as leader of the expedition
served him, and the others nodded
approval. Under a helpful wind,
the St. Peter flew southward with
Vitus on the bridge ever vigilant.
They came very close to the
45th parallel before Vitus sadly
gave the order to turn about. It
was now certain that Chirikov
was lost to them. The only thing
gained by the extra day was to
show that Gama Land was more of
a myth than ever.
Reverting to the original plan,
Commander Bering set a course
for the north-east, and the quest
for America began in earnest.
The ever-present foul weather
chased them across wild seas.
When it wasn’t storming, heavy
fogs covered the St. Peter like a
cocoon. Visibility of more than a
hundred yards was impossible.
Every man aboard strained his
eyes for sign of land, since it
would have been all too easy to
have crashed on some rocky is
land ... or the North American
continent itself.
"What an introduction that
would be,” said Steller, though
he was hardly amused.
Bering changed course often. He
was fearful of remaining too long
in one direction lest they miss
landfall, so the St. Peter followed
a zig-zag route with the idea of
covering more of an area. His offi
cers were not entirely in agree
ment with him about this; but
since there was no obvious harm
in it, allowed the action. If they
chose, however, they could have
over-ruled Vitus’ changes, which
some thought strangely erratic, by
a majority vole.
For two weeks the St. Peter
probed the unfriendly Pacific. Vi
tus remained aloof either in his
cabin or pacing the deck. He ate
little, slep less and he watched the
grey horizons constantly through
the long hours of light. There
was but one thought on his mind:
find America! ,
On the 16th of July, after more
than five months under way, Com
mander Bering got his wish. Ac
cording to the log of the St. Pe
ter, kept by Mate Yushin, they
were in latitude 58 degrees 14 min
utes when, . . at 12:30 we
sighted high snow covered moun
tains, and among them a high vol
cano N by W.” The “high vol
cano” was Mt. St. Elias on the
North American mainland.
When Bering realized his dream
had at last come true, he was at
first as excited as the rest. But
later his joy vanished, and Stel
ler recorded that upon this finest
of moments, the commander said.
“A great discovery no doubt, and
the accomplishment of all our de
sires; but who knows where we
are, when we shall see Russia, and
what we shall have to cat in the
meantime?”
Then he shrugged his shoulders
in front of the entire ship’s com
pany as if to belittle the affair,
and disappeared into his cabin.
