The June issue of Mining World

a Charley Creek bismuth prospect
about 35 miles from Nome, which

This Charles Creek property, in
corporated under the name of Na

long been known and was owned by
O. A. Margraf, but conditions were
not favorable for its development
until this year.
Machinery and equipment are
now being set up on the property
and Margraf, in a letter to Browne,
said that he has already received
advance contracts for all the bis
muth he can produce.
He also expressed this apprecia

Margraf, David M. Russell, W. E.
McDonald, Ignacy Kowalski and
W. J. Russell. Capital stock is
$300,000.
Bismuth is a strategic mineral
now in great demand in defense
industry, Browne said.

A short and comparatively quiet
city council meeting took place last
night with some discussion and
action on a number of mirfor mat
ters.
B. W. Matheny's option to renew
his lease at the Juneau airport
building was approved for another
two years at the current rate of
five per cent of the gross revenue
but not less than $150 monthly and
not more than $250. There was
discussion on a separate oil tank
and separate meters for him.
Mayor Waino Hendrickson and
City Attorney Howard Stabler were
empowered to continue talks with
W. A. Carson of Carson Construc
tion Co., which has taken over the
Hall-Atwater Co. contract to build
the new fire hall. Mayor Hendrick
son reported that Carson was will
ing to post a performance bond and
preferred to deal directly with the
city.
Because no bids naa Deen re
ceived on the repair and recon
struction of the trestle at Perry
Way, it was decided to wait and
call for bids again when possible
bidders would be available.
It was agreed to sell an old 12
year-old pickup truck to Alex Laiti
for $50.
A resolution was passed exempt
ing sales and service on electric
energy outside the city limits, the
City of Juneau, hospitals, charit
able institutions and children’s
homes from the city tax. These
actions had been previously passed
through motions.
It was decided not to exempt the
Yacht Club building repair, mov
ing and construction from the sal
es tax.
There was some discussion re
garding the installation of a chlor
inator at the swimming pool and
costs are to be Investigated.
A number of sidewalk, street, and
sewer matters came up for discus
sion. It was decided to check the
three sewer collections and open
ings by the Mendenhall Apart
ments before laying 40 inches of
concrete on the street in front of
the building. Broken sidewalk on
Harris Street at Dan Mahoney's is
to be removed. Various plugged
street drains are to be checked
and a possible break in a water
pipe op Star Hill is to be invest
igated. Ray Hagerup was present
for the street department.
Councilmen George Jorgenson
and Bert McDowell * were absent.

"WHIRLPOOL" REAL
THRILLER SHOWN
AT 20TH CENTURY
j
"Whirlpool” is a topnotch thriller,
one of the most exciting entertain
ments to have hit town since 20th
Century Fox gave us “Laura.” Now
it has sent us another gripping,
sleek anti suspenseful yarn in
“Whirlpool," at the 20th Century
Theatre.
The screenplay tells of a pretty
well-to-do psychiatrist's wife who
suffers from Kieptimania and be
comes involved with a hynotist wrho
promises to cure her before her hus
band ever finds out. Instead she be
comes involved in a murder and
blackmail plot engineered by the
medical charlatan, from which it
takes all the professional skill cf
her psychiatrist husband and a
sympathetic police officer to extr.
cate her.
