STEWART BACK AFTER SURVEY
 IN TAKU AREA
District Seems Sp ely Mineralized Says Min
 ing Supervisor

''On the whole the lower Taku River region seems to be rather sparsely mineralized," said B. D Stewart, Federal Mining Supervisor for Alaska, who returned here late last week after a rnonth's irlyesti- gation there. He headed crew of five men and covered the area from the international boundary to the first creek rorth-commonly known as Bear Creek-of Turner Lake.
 Geological conditions in the vicinity of Mount Wright, which is located on the east side of Wright Glacier, seem to offer the most fav- orable opportunity for prospecting of any area in the entire district, '' MT. Stewart said. The party slash- ed out a trail from the mouth to the head of Bear Creek, along both branches.
 Mir Stewards work was a con- tinuation of study began two years ago and consisted of assembling data for a geological map of the entire district. The results were such, he said, that 1t can now be determined what the geological fea- lures are. The geology is said to be rather difficult and lack informa- ton about it in the past made 1t difficult to answer many questions regarding it.
 In the party were: Jack Koby, who handled the transportation, Ray Deardof, M. G. Clouse, Oscar Yehring, and E. R. Schultz, cook.
 MT. Stewart made g brief up- river visit to Tulsequah during his absence. Considerable prospecting and some development is in prog ress on the Canadian side of the border. There is little activity of any kind on the American side. The Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com pany was having it's West Hill group surveyed.

 Clyde ngborr, and Hugh Herndon hopped of from Samu- shiro Beach, Japan, last Saturday afternoon. at POI o'clock for the United States.
 The fliers were sighted at Cape Erimo, 100 miles from Samushiro Beach.
 Rain was forecast along the Aleu- tians, Alaska and coast further to the south.
 The fliers were next reported over Nemuro, 250 miles northeast of Samushiro Beach, two hours and thirty-nine minutes after the take off.
 The Bremerton Radio Station received the following dispatch Sunday morning from St. Paul Is- land:
 ''Transpacific plane heard over False Pass at 10:50 o'clock. Plane not sighted due to heavy fog but sound of motor indicated the plane was on the right course"
 Good TakeOff
 The plane, carrying 5000 pounds, took off without any apparent dif- ficulty after a l,500 meter run down the sandy beach and within eleven minutes disappeared in the mist as it headed for the Kuriles.
 If Pangborn and Herndon suc- ceed in the flight, they will gain the unique distinction of having monument erected at Samushiro Beach recording their departure. An association was organized by pub lie spirited citizens to erect the monument with their names and historic data.
 Plenty to Eat
 Bent upon making a nonstop flight, Pangborn and Herndon started the flight travelling light as far as life-saving equipment and radio was concerned but the food box was chock full in case of a forced landing. They put the fol- lowing rations in a barrel: dried shell fish, rice cakes army biscuits, Japanese powdered tea and cof- fee, extracts of powdered milk, su- gar, beef tea cubes, chocolate, two pounds of butter, three vacuum bottles of tea, three roast chickens, beef sandwiches, one pound of cheese, five pounds of sausage, four pounds of timed asparagus, fresh pears, apples, oranges and lemons.
 Many Experiences Pangborn and Herndon started many weeks ago on proposed flight around the world to beat the record of Post and Gatty. They were forced down and lost so much time that they flew to Japan. Up- on arrival at Tokyo their airplane was seized and they were placed under guard by the authorities who later learned they had flown over prohibited territory and taken pie lures. The fliers were fined, then began weeks of a dispute as to whether they would be allowed again to fly over Japanese terri tory. Permission was finally grant, ed.
