DEVELOPMENT CAMPAIGN AT
 MINE STARTED
Bright Future for Hirst- Chichagof Predicted by
 P. M. Sorenson

We have inaugurated a very vigorous development campaign at the Hirst- -Chichagof and are now drifting on the 700 and 850-foot levels in addition to mining and milling ore," declared Paul M. Sor- ensen, General Manager of the Hirst- -Chichagof Mining Company who left for the south on the Prin- cess Norah this morning after spending the last few days in Ju- neau.
 Tn the last four months we have doubled the tonnage treated in the mill and are now handling 65 tons day. Under the direction of mill superintendent M. E. Tippetts the tailing loss has been reduced to about 25 cents from SIPS per ton since February of this year." MT. Sorensen said. We have our own assay office, which went into oper- ation last November and have ap- piled modern metallurgical practic- es in the mine, both of which are factors in the reduction of the loss" he said.
 AS part of the development cam paign at Hirst- -Chichagof the shaft will be sunk another 150 feet dur ing the next few months, though at the present time there is suf- ficient ore blocked out to insure continuous operation, according to MT. Sorensen, who said that in his opinion, the -Chichagof had very bright future. A crew of 40 men is employed at the mine at this time.
 MT. Sorensen will spent about 10 days in Seattle and then continue to Salt Lake City on combined business and vacation trip. Mrs. Sorensen, who preceded him south, will join him in Salt Lake and return north with him the first part of July.
 During the absence of MT. Sor- ensen, w. H. Riggs will be in charge of things at the mine, which is located at Kimshan Cove, Chi chagof Island.

BOND ELICIT ION POSTPONED TILL.
 FURTHER NOTICE
Possibility of Change in Terms of Proposed PWA
 Loan Causes Delay

{ Postponemert of the special muni- cipal election called for next Tues
 day, May 22, to vote on the is
 suance of $103,00O worth of bonds for public improvement has been
 decided upon by City officials, it
 was announced today.
 The reason for the postponement is the possibility of changes being
 made in the terms of the proposed Public Works Administration loan to the City of Juneau that would be at variance with the original application, which had been ap- proved by PWA officials, and upon which the notice of election had been issued.
 Loan Application
 Our loan application provided that the bonds be payable in 30 years, with the privilege of repay ment at any time, and the further understanding that the PWA make a grant of 30 per cent of the cost o. the labor and material expended on the improvements, and under write the bonds for the remainder at 4 per cent interest" Mayor I Goidstein said today.
 PWA Approval
 According to the information we had received from Washington, the bill introduced in Congress by Dele gate Dimond authorizing the clti- zens of Juneau to vote on the bond issue had received the approval ot the PWA authorities, and some amendments were made in the or iginal drafts to meet the Govern ment's wishes The bill as finally passed and signed by the President Twas OK'd by the PWA. officials. Change in Terms That there was likely to be some change in the original terms lof the loan developed a few days ago when it was learned that the PWA and declined to lend Skag- way $30,000 for 30 years for the improvement of it's water system according to the original program and specified that the term of the loan should be Is years. It is
 possible that inasmuch as the Skag. way bonds are to be paid for out of earnings and the Juneau bond:
 are to cover the cost of non- liquidating projects, the Govern.
