FIRE DESTROYS
 PASCO HOME

Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the Forest townsite home of A. Pasco, local asayer, early Thursday morning, en- tailing a loss of several thou sand dollars.
 Aroused from sleep by noises emanating from a little used wing of the dwelling between 3:30 and 4 a. m., MT. Pasco hastily investigated and found the room in flames, to which air from the opened door gave immediate impetus.
 As no help was immediately available at that hour the flames spread swiftly and soon engulfed the entire structure. MT. Pasco was able to save only a few of his effects before be- ing forced to abandon the building, which was entirely consumed. MT. Pasco's a-say- ing outfit was stored in a separ- ate building and was not dam aged; although some assay material in the main building is said to have been lost. He will thus be able to continue business as the camps princi- pal commercial assayer.
 MT. Pasco is unable to account for the fire. He had built a small fire in the room during the preceding afternoon, but does not attribute the blaze to overheating of the stove or pipe owing to the small amount of fuel used.

NEW CWA ACTIVITIES
 ON RIVER AUTHORIZED

CWA operations on the Sal mon River flood protection pro- ject were resumed Monday un- der a new authorization re- ceived Sunday by Representa- tive J. K. Green, who directed the previous CWA activities under the direction of the Alas ka Road Commission.
 The new authorization pro- vides for the employment of crews of twelve men, including the foreman, for periods of 20 hours per week.
 The previous schedule of payment is maintained, work CTS receiving 62 cents per hour and the foreman 75 cents per hour. This provides on the basis of 20 hours per week a weekly wage of $12.40 per man and a total weekly pay roll of $151.40. Under the 20 hour week schedule the crews will work four hours daily and five days week.
 As the crews can be changed weekly, the new authorization will permit the unemployment of all workers who were pre- viously engaged on the river project.
 Although the instructions re- ceived by MT. Green gave no intimation regarding how long the work is to continue, it is expected to last until May 1; asindicatedinrecent announce ments from Washington that President Roosevelt planned to continue the CWA activities until that date.

Governmental Aid For
 Non-Ferrous Metals

Hard upon the heels of gov ernment aid for silver comes a proposal to provide similar assistance for lead, zinc and copper mining by creation of supplementary form of money, designated as a ''non-ferrous dollar" which would be used by the government to purchase the present large supplies of copper, lead and zinc, thereby aiding one of the nations basic industries, centering in sixteen or more states, and also in- creasing the national currency with a safe type of dollar.
 Professor A. T. Sweet of the Michigan College of Mining and Technology is the author of the novel proposal. He claims $15O,OoO,0O0 would buy up the entire present surplus of the three metals, putting an industry back on it's feet, pro- viding work for tens of thou sands of miners, millmen and smeltermen, and also stimulat- ing many industries which serve the metal producers. The metals purchased would give the government a cheap war time reserve of indispensable non-ferrous metals.

Coinage Of Silver
 Tailings Sought

Modification of the recent presidential order raising the price of new-mined silver to permit the coinage of silver obtained from mill tailings is being sought by Senator Nc Carren of Nevada.
 Ina personal plea to President Roosevelt, the Nevada solon said western miners were urg- ing that this silver be placed upon the same basis as mined silver and estimated that about 2,000,000 ounces could be re- covered annually from mill tail dumps.

NEW MILL FOR THE
 DUNWELL ARRIVES

A quantity of machinery equipment for the new 25-ton Dunwell Mill arrived Monday evening on the Cardena and will be installed as fast as the work can be done, according to. Stewart reports.
 The equipment included a ball mill, classifier, and a quantity of Hume. The latter will be used in the develop ment of water power to operate the plant by generation of electricity.
 On leaving the dock on a A. horse sled, the evening of arriv- al, the sled swerved sidewise on the icy approach, the sled platform fell off and the mill narrowly escaped plung- ing into Portland Canal. The 5-ton piece of machinery prov identiany struck a pile at the end of the dock and was thus prevented from going over board. The team, driven by Lloyd Snyder, became fright ened and ran away, dragging the driver a considerable dis tance before he was compelled to let go. In escaping from the careening sled, Snyder is said ito have made a high jump which would have won first prize in the Olympic games.
