IRON DEPOSIT IN 1
SNETTISHAM INLET !
TO BE PROSPECTED
--
j
Further investigation of a large!
iron deposit in Snettisham Inlet,;
about 30 miles south of Juneau, will
be started in the spring by the j
Territorial Department of Mines, j
as a result oif the findings in a
preliminary examination of the :
area last August by Howard M.
Fowler, Associate Mining Engineer
with the Department, it was re
vealed today by Leo H. Saarela,
Mines Commissioner.
The Mines office has already or
dered geophysic equipment adapted
to the type of deposit in prepara
tion for the work planned for next
season.
Eaarela said the report on the
preliminary examination has been
taken up with the Geological Sur
vey and it is possible that agency
may also do some investigation of
the deposit next summer.
Saarela said today there has been
inquiries for securing iron from Al
aska for Japanese interests, partic
ularly in view of the fact that di
rect shipment could be made from
the Alaska coast to Japan.
Local Owners
The property is owned by Sam
Pekovich, wellknown mining man,
who has held mining properties in
the Funter Bay and Hawk Inlet
districts for many years, and Rob
ert Coughlin who has also been in
terested in various mines over a
long period. Both are long time
residents of Juneau.
Mr. Pekovich said today that
Norman C. Stines,, prominent min
ing man, is representing the own
ers in San Francisco in negotiating
with parties interested in the Snet
tisham iron deposit. Stines is asso
ciated with Pekovich in his Hawk
Inlet property and is president and
managing director of the Alaska
Empire Mining Company, operators
of the mine there.
Roughly in the Fache Cove-Sent
inel Point vicinity in Snettisham
Inlet the magnetic area covers 20
1 square miles with strong distur
bance in an eight square mile sec
tion, Fowler’s report states.
Minable Ore Bodies
The material at present exposed
is too low grade for economic min
ing the report states, but, it pointed
out, there has been insufficient
prospecting done in the area, and
bearing in mind that the mineral
ized area is unusually strong over
approximately four square miles, it
is possible that a thorough inves
tigation will disclose minable ore
bodies of iron. Further, the report
comments, inasmuch as it is known
iron ore supplies on the Pacific
Coast will undoubtedly prove in
sufficient for future industrial
needs on the coast, a more com
plete, program of prospecting and
Snettisham district is fully war
ranted.
The Snettisham Inlet district was
one of the early gold mining areas
in the Juneau Gold Belt. The old
Crystal mine was opened by B.
Heins in 1895 and a 10-stamp mill i
was operated. The property was j
purchased in 1903 by the Alaska i
Snettisham Gold Mining Company
which began gold mining operations
in the Inlet in 1899 and the mill
was expanded to 20 stamps. Mining
in any extent was closed in that
area in 1905.
The fact that an iron deposit
lay in the area has been known
since prospectors first went into
tlte district and in 1918 four or j
five tons of iron ore was shipped ■
to the Treadwell mines on Gastln- j
eau Channel and was found to car- j
ry up to five percent titanium,,
which occurs with certain iron ores. 1
No extensive prospecting has been j
known to be done on the ore body
until the present time.
(PR TRAVEL FILM
SHOWN AT ROTARY
CLUB MEET TUES.
“Down by the Sea,” a Canadian
Pacific Railway sound-color travel
film was shown Tuesday at a
meeting of the Juneau Rotary Club
in the Baranof Hotel. It depicted
the beauty and travel lure of the
east Canadian coast.
Another well-received feature of
the program were two piano num
bers by student Rotarian Bud
Schultz who played Chopin’s "Waltz
in C Sharp Minor” and Gershwin’s
“The Man I Love.”
Carson Lawrence, in charge of
the Kids’ Party at next week’s meet
ing, urged all members to hand in
the names of their children.
Keith Wildes, chairman of the
members party which will be held
at the meeting two weeks from to
day, presided over name drawing.
President Ellis Reynolds reminded
members that the Club would assist
the Salvation Army in its Christ
mas Drive and said that members
participating would wear their
Rotary helmets and badges.
Visiting Rotarians were M. J.
Klepser of Marine Supply, Ketchi
kan, and Leonard Hopkins, sporting
goods salesman from Anchorage. -

' Department of Fisheries, attended
! the opening ceremonies of the new
| U. of W fisheries center and series
i of conferences. Loyd A. Royal, di
' rector, International Pacific Sal
mon Fisheries Commission, New
Westminster, B. C., set forth the
longer open season theory with
protective closures and closed areas
where needed.
There was a strong feeling that
a fisheries treaty should be in
corporated into the general Jap
anese treaty to protect American
fisheries from depletion by foreign
fishermen.
Other sessions were concerned
i with catching, processing and
! marketing fish products.
The Andersons joined Mr. and
: Mrs. Howard Wakefield in Seattle
and drove to a meeting of the Pa
cific Marine Fisheries Commission
in San Francisco, December 4 and
5. Wakefield is chairman of the
Alaska Fisheries Board. There, re
presentatives of California, Oregon,
; Washington, British Columbia and
I Alaska discussed mutual problems
and possible solutions. The two
fisheries affecting Alaska were the
blackcod and troll salmon fisher
ies. Walter Herkness, biologist for
the ADF, presented the research
findings of last summer’s tagging
of salmon and was complimented
upon the material and presentation,
Anderson reported.
Enroute to the San Francisco
meeting the party visited the Fish
and Wildlife king salmon hatchery
at Coleman, Calif.
Upon his return to Seattle An
derson attended the International
Sockeye Salmon Commission meet
ing which was taking up a study
of proposed regulations for the
Frazer River. A July 2 opening
date was favored with a 96-hour
weekend closure in the river.
The Andersons reported seeing
more snow in northern California
than they’d see so far this year in
Alaska.

ARLENE DAHL IS
TORTURED IN THE
CAPITOL'S SHOW
The greatest variety of tortures
ever conceived for a single victim
is visited upon flame-tressed Arlene
“The Doll Dahl in her starring role
opposite Robert Cummings and
Richard Basehart in Walter Wan
ger’s “The Black Book,” coming to
night to the Capitol Theatre for one
night only.
Cast as an underground worker to
overthrow one of the crudest ty
rannic ever devised by man, the
actress, conceded to be one of the
screen's reigning beauties, recovers
from one punishment only to en
counter another.
First she is strung up on a thumb
rack, when an attempt is made to
extract secret information from her.
The ghastly experience is followed
by an introduction to the branding
iron. Later, she is incarcerated in
a dungeon In which she cannot
stand erect, and to make the pun
ishment complete, all food and
wnter is denied her.
Miss Dahl says she didn't mind
the assorted tortures too much, be
cause after all, “it’s only a movie!”
“The Black Book," an Eagle Lion
release, was directed by Anthony
Mann. Featured in the cast are
Arnold Moss, Jess Barker, Beulah
Bondi, Richard Hart and Isabella
Ward.

IS TONIGHT ONLY
AT 20TH CENTURY
_
The management announces a
special one day showing tonight at
the Gross 20th Century Theatre, of
the popular acclaimed feature. “The
Snake Pit,” starring Olivia de Havil
land and co-starring Mark Step

claimed by record breaking crowds
in its initial run in the states, and
is the first picture Olivia de Havil
land has starred in since her top
honor Academy Award.
Another dual action hit program
is announced for Thursday and
Friday at the Gross 20th Century

will be “Bomba the Jungle Boy,”

prevent it from being chosen as the
