Afternoon Came
Playing a faster defensive r ame,
the Juneau Imperials defeated the
£lifca ANB Friday afternoon 46-35 to
double back in the second game
Friday night against Petersburg in
game 10. This was the second loa
fer Sitka and eliminated them from'
tourney play.
Both teams played a tight mtm
to-man defense throughout. The
Imperials were missing the easy
shots under the basket during the
first quarter because of close guard
ing. Sitka was two points ahead at
the end of the first quar.er at 9-7.
The Imperials kept the bail in
constant motion. Fear of losing the
call kept Sitka holding it and mak
ing fewer passes. Sitka was still
thead fcy one point at . the end of
,he second quarter with the score
>0-19.
In the third quarter, the game
was tied up twice. The Imps tied
rst at 23-a’l on a ta ke bv Kear
tey. Han -en’s gif: shot, the only
me of the quarter by the Imper
ials broke the tie. Moses Johnson
tied the game up for the seconci
tie of the quarter at 27-all witl
v\vo minutes and five seconds of
the period left. Hansen again bro:-:i
lie tie with a be.Jcet. The Imper
ials were in the lead from then or
"ldin the third period with the
■core of 33 and Sitka 23.
K ping up a steady defensive
drive in the final period, the Imps

LOUIS WINS
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 24 F
Joe Loiiis, the winner of his tough
;t fight, since he came out of re
tirement last September, said today
i.c was ready for a return match for
the heavyweight championship with
Hazard Charles.
The Brown Bomber scored a tech
nical knockout over stout-hearted
Andy Walker in the final round of
their scheduled 1(Rrounder at the
Cow Palace last night.
A sell-out crowd of 13.000 fan
accounting for official gate receipts
if S92.0S7.50, saw Louis batter the
rangy San Francisco Negro round
fter round until he was arm-weary.
Ii was his fourth win in his cam
paign to come back after bein'
cur.dly drubbed by Charles in a 15
i round bout for the title he once
.eld.
Louis hit Walker with about ever;
punch in the book but he couldn't
door him. He knocked the San
rancisco fighter, who holds the
Alifcrnia state title, into the roper
our times. In the filial' e sldn, he
mght Vv'alker with a flurry oi'
nows that had the California
damp reeling. Referee Frank -
rown stopped the contest in 1:49
: the tenth. There was - ome boo-.
13 by Walker fans.* who thought,
ie could have finished the battle
In three previous come-back
lights Louis scored 10-round de
sions over Cesar Brion and Ome
io Agramonte and stopped Freddy
Fcshore in the fourth round.
Walker, who once served a1
Hilaries’ sparring partner, said the
resent champion is a better boxer
n Louis and is faster but he
declined to predict the outcome ol
'.:elr next title match.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24—1.41—The
UCLA Bruins and the Southern
alifornia Trojans are battling foi
ie Coa t Conference Southern Di
vision basketball lend 450 mile
pnrt tonight, but they’ll have tc
ecide the race when they meet

When the Bruins beat Californi:
15-57 here last night, and Stanford
pueezed out the Trojans 73-71 a!
dv.lo Alto, the proceedings threw
he division tussle into a deadlock
The Bruins and Trojans have novl
eh won six and lost three con
erence games. Thus whether the;
■tay tied after tonight’s games, oi
ne goes ahead by a game, the title
.'111 till be up for grabs when the;

fiCID OUTPUT IN
ALASKA HIGHEST
SINCE '42 PEAK
Following a two-year decline,
old output In Alaska in 1950 in
reased to the highest point since
942, according to preliminary fig
ures of the 1950 mineral produc
; tion report issued this week by the
I Bureau of Mines, United Slates
Department of the Interior/ This
unexpected gain in procjuctaanuflf
he Territory’s greatest value com
modity was largely responsible' fjpr‘
he increase in the over-all ralwe
>f mineral output in the Territory
0 $19,202,000 from $15,549,000 in
:049, the report states.
Gold production in 1950 from pre
liminary estimates in terms of re
overable metal was 282.886. fine
ounces of gold valued at $9,900,310
m increase of 53,455 ounces valued
it $1,870,750 over 1949 when pro
tection was 229,416 minors at a
•alue of $8,029,560.
Comparative figures for 1950 with
1949 show an increase in produc
ion also of silver, copper, lead and
nc. The 1950 production figures
ire 48,478 ounces of silver valued at
•43,875 (35,056 at $32,633 in 1949);
1 short tons of copper valued at
52,912 (4 tons at $1,576 in 19499;
150 tons of lead valued at $37,560
(51 tons at $16,116 in 1949); aftd 6
oils of zinc valued at $1,668 tj!
ons at $496 in 19^9).
The total value of the output Of
he five metals was $6,966,265 com
pared with $8 080,381 in 1949. Value
of production of coal, tin, tung
sten and other miscellaneous met
als for which data was not avail
able for publication totaled $9,215,
500 in 1950. an increase of $5,210,214
over the 1949 production value of
54,005,086.
Average metal prices in 1950
were the same as in 1949 for gold
and silver, at $35 an ounces for
■ old and $0,905 for silver. The price
for copper was raised to $0,208 a
pound from $0,197 and to $0,139 a
pound from $0,124 for zinc, and
was lowered from $0,158 to $0,125
i pound for lead.
Although coal continued to rank
second to gold in value of output,
production was slightly less than
the record output of 1949. The min
ing of platinum continued to be an
important factor in the mineral
ndustry with production of cryde
i platinum-group metals exceeding
' hat of the previous year. Output of
lead was three times the 1949 pro
duction, and silver gained about
one third over the previous year’s
total. Copper and zinc production—
entirely as byproducts from other
ores—increased slightly, but re
mained minor. Production of tin
was relatively small, but substan
tially above the total for 1949.
The 23 percent increase in pro
duction of gold in 1950 was un
expected inasmuch as an unusual
ly dry season in the Territory re
ulted in cessation of activity at
i number of operations in several
listricts in the Yukon River Basin
ind Seward Peninsula regions. Ap
larently the larger operations,
particularly those using bucket
line dredges, were able to increase
■utpiit and thus more than offset
any over-all loss resulting from the
shutdown or curtailed activity at
those plants affected by a water
shortage.
“Natural” gold continued to be
■ old on the open market at prices ^
varying from three to five dollars |
over the official price of $35 per J
fine ounce. Although the quantity'
Involved in such transactions dur
ing 1950 is not known, it is believed
to have been less than the 22,00<
unices estimated to have beoi
sold from Alaskan mines in 1949.
Between 90 and 95 percent of thf
total Alaska gold output in 195(
came from placer mines, chiefly
from the operation of bucket-lim
Iredges. The principal producer ir
j the year was the United State
-smelting. Refining and Mining Co.
which operated five dredges in tlu
•"airbanks district nr.a three dred
ges in the Nome district :-t varlou:
■ .lines during the year.
Activity at lode gold mines wai
limited largely to a few operations
in the Willow Creek district, the
rincipal producer being the Alas
ka-Pacific Consolidated Gold Min
ing Co. which worked the inde
pendence mine. The Hirst-Chlcha
of mine on Chichagof Island, it
he Southeastern Alaska region, re
sumed limited operation in 1951
allowing a period of inactivity
since October 15. 1942. A substantia
; anti y of gold was recovered by
cvv; rkin- old tailings r.nd mil
i’.eanup at the Alaska Juneau
Thane, and Treadwell mills or
Jnstineau Channel, and the Chi
hagef mid on Chichagof 1-land.
The production cf 43,473 finr
nances of silver in 1950, a 34-ptr
cent increase over 1949 was largely
the byproduct of gold mining,
principally bucket-line dredge op
rations in the Fairbanks and Nome
districts. *
Production of Je.id was timitec
ilmost entir - - to output from thf
Riverside n te near Hyder. Copper
rnd zinc .. ere recovered as bypro
ducts f :n lead concentrate ship
ped ♦ otn this mine.
'...•eka ".octuccd 395,000 Short
.. .o, _ verdiug to preliminary fig
■es of bituminous coal and ltg
■lite in 1950, nine percent less that
he record total of 1949.
Platinum was produced in tne;
C• jodnews Bay district. Kuskokwim
region, recovered by bucket-line
dredging. Tin was recovered by the
Northern Tin Co., from its Buck
Creek placer operations and the U.
S. Tin Corp., tin placer workings
on Lost River on the Seward Pen
insula region. The Cleary Hill
Mines Co. reported the recovery of
a small quantity of tin concentrate
as a byproduct of its placer-gold ]
operation in the Hot Springs dist
rict. Yukon River region. There
were no lode tin mines active dur
ing the year.
A small ammiht of tungsten con
centrate was produce^ at the Riv
erside mine near Hyder, from a
'stockpile accumulated as a bypro
duct of the milling of lead ore
mined prior to 1950.
Data on production of sand,1
eravel, and stone are not available
for publication, according to the
Bureau of Mines report. No lime
stone was shipped during 1950 by
the Pormanente Cement Co. from
the Dali Island quarry, in the Ket
chikan district. There was no re
corded production of antimony, as
bestos, chromite, gem stones, mer
cury, or petroleum in Alaska In
1950.

SHAFT IN STORE
BASE NT HERE
i
There’s nothing like having r f
little gold mine in your basemen!,
Charles L. Parker and A1 Glover
believe—at least what you hope1
will prove to be a gold mine.
Parker and Glover have sunk i
a 33-foot shaft in the easement
of Glover’s Spruce Delicatessen I
opposite the ball park. They’ve been I'
working on it for the past year
and have cribbed the shaft all the
way down. The dirt is removed icy
an old fashioned hand winch and
bucket. The basement is about
half full of the tailings now but
will be taken away by truck event
ually.
An underground stream has been
encountered necessitating pump
ing Jn oAler to work. The nan
figure .they’ll have to go another
ten feet to hit bedrock. Large
boulders indicate an old Stream
bed. Some traces of color hove
been panned but Glover believes
feven if he doesn't strike it rich,
he’ll have had some good exercise.
Future jilans call for a larger
pump and an electric noist.
Parker is an old-time prospector

Garlic Plentiful,
Is Yugoslavia's
Top Export Crop
BELGRADE —(d>>- Just about a
/ear ago, the government bought
up the garlic crop in Vojvodinu
Yugoslavia's breadbasket. Prices
were low; garlic plentiful. Tin
jovernment had far too much on
ts hands. Wliat to do? One ol
Yugoslavia’s technicians found an
inswer.
He had the garlic peeled, sliced
;round, baked in special ovens and
lacked in air tight tin boxes. For
.he product, Yugoslavia claims t
ong life without loss of flavor. Ir.
its first year op the export market
it brought big orders from the
American market and elsewhere.
This year, Yugoslavia Is increas
ing its output—especially along th
Hungarian frontier to a point
where the crop probably will b.
the largest in the country’s history.
