MINER EATS HUMBLE PIE.

MiSinformation given out to news
paper reporters SomtimeS puts the re-
porter in bad and also causes those
whom the information was about to feel
hurt.
No newspaper desires to hurt anyone
and sometimes makes mistakes in
getting at the inside of affairs through
miSinformation furnished and which the
reporter was unable to run down owing
to circumstances or blindly trusts the
informantS.
The Miner finds itself called upon to
beg the pardon of Coach Madalynne
Grevich of the girls swimming team for
an item which appeared in these
columns last week in connection with
the state meet at Virginia.
Miss Grevich called at the office and
pointed out our error. She also stated
that the matter should have been in
vestigated before certain statements
were printed. Miss Grevich is right and
we apologize most humbly with the
assurance that we will be more careful
hereafter in statements coming to us
In writing up the state meet at Vir-
ginia where Ely won third place, only
being topped by Virginia and Chisholm
out of field of nine contenders, we
said:
Those who witnessed the events
make the claim that Ely overworkeG
in the preliminarieS and also in the
strenuous training period before the
meet and this accounted foc the
showing made by an otherwise
strong team of contenders for state
honorS."
Miss Grevich considered this a re-
Election on her work as coach, besides
stating that there was not word OF
truth in the statement. Unfortunately
we failed to get at the gist of the state
ment before sending it out in the news
paper to the wide world and very con-
tritely again beg her pardon.
We will also state that no reflection
on the work of Miss Grevich was in
tended We have always maintained
that she has shown herself a very eff
Gent and capable coach during the
years she has held the position in the
Ely schools.

Lost Time Must be Made
Up by WPA Workers

Making up lost time is required of
WPA workers under new ruling re-
ceived from Washington, Victor Christ
gau, state WPA administrator an
nounced today.
Project workers who do not work the
full number of hours during any semi
monthly period because of circum-
stances beyond their control will be
allowed to make up the lost time for
which credit has been allowed either
within the period or the succeeding
period, Mr.. Christgau said.
The ruling, which will go into effect
at the start of the next payroll period,
is not retroactive. The normal assign
ment of 80 hours per week plus the
hours assigned to workers for making
up lost time will not exceed the maxi
mum of eight hours per day and 40
hours per week, according to the in
structionS.

assembled last summer, would be most
complete and would show every detail
of lakes, rocks, timber, shore lines, por-
tageS, clearingS, trails, cabins and other
identifying marks.
He stated that the planes covered
$500 square miles in making the photo
graphs and that expert aerial photo
graphers took 1890 pictures of the
Forest at an altitude of over three
miles. The scale of these photographs
is trifle over 215 inches to the mile
and each picture showed approximately
9 square miles.
He also explained the art of aerial
photography used in making the pic
lures with an exposure every half min
ute on a roll of film through the bot
tom of the plane, the lens pointing
straight downward. He said that flyers
were not very numerous who could man.
ipulate the plane on straight course,
north and south, and vice versa in such
a manner as to have the exposures in
a relative position to each other. In his
the past year in the photographing ap-
paratus and that now an instrument
had been perfected which would take
nine photographs covering nine times
as much territory as the instrument
used in making the survey of which he
was speaking.
'At the same time the pictures were
1aiy fob Hr sorO
crews of forest engineers were engaged
in compiling data and making surveys
to fit in with the pictures.
This taking of pictures is only a
small part of the immense task of plac-
ing the photographs into their relative
positions for the making of the map.
The exact center of each photograph is
found and designated on the negative
with a small circle. The same spot
which marks the center of one picture
is shown on the margin of the negative
which fits into the map. The negatives
are assembled like jig-Saw puzzle so
that the circle in the center of one fits
exactly over the circle on the margin
of the next picture. Hence the mega
tiveS overlap after the manner of
shingles on a roof.
The assembling of the map was done
at the Pioneer school building where a
room had been prepared for this pur-
pose. Here the assembling was done
in large units and with the $500 pic
lures, % sections were made and which
if pieced together would form birds
eye view of the Forest, so feet long and
Is feet high.
After assembling, the photos were
traced on transparent sheets and the
sheets were sent to Washington where
experts scaled the sections down and
pieced them together Thus the new
map is made and in probability will be
printed for circulation sometime this
summer, furnishing a true and auth
entic map of the Superior National
Forest.
Mr. Douglas also pointed out that the
new map will show every contour of
every lake in the area besides showing
several lakes and other features not
found in the ground maps heretofore
in use.
With a StereoScope, many of those
present viewed pictures made by the
survey of familiar scenes in this VIC
unity. The stereoScope brought up trees,
shrubs and landmarks in a manner
showing more than anything else the
remarkable features of the aerial pic
lures taken three miles above.

BULLION TRANSFER
. SOON. TO Be MADE
Gold Valued at $4,000, OOO,-
600 Will Be Moved to
Kentucky Fortress

Washington, Dec 23.-(AP)-The
.long-delayed transfer of Uncle Sans
gold hoard to the fastness of Ken
lucky fortress will begin shortly after
January 1.
In the highly secret movement, ex-
pected two years, 5000 tons of gold
bullion valued at about $6,O0O,O00, 900
will be moved from New York and
Philadelphia to the new vault at Fort
Knox officials said.
A secret meeting of treasury, pos
tai and army officials is set for next
week.
When the transfer is completed the
bulk of the governments $10,60O,000,-
600 gold stocks will be removed from
coast cities to the interior. The pur-
pose, authorities said, was to guar
antee peace further by removing a
possible temptation for invasion by a
foreign power.
Army experts said it would be al
most impossible for an alien power to
reach Fort Knox, where the tWO-StOry
vault of steel and stone stands in the
middle of a $4,000 acre military re-
servation partrolled by a mechanical
army unit.
Joseph Wick, postal Inspector, was
selected to command the golden con-
voy. Aides in New York and Philadel-
phia are constantly observing traffic
and other safety conditions along care
fully selected routes from sub-treas-
ury and assay office vaults to railway
stations.
Exact date of the shipments will be
unknown to the public. Officials are
counting on about so trips which will
be staggered" over six months.
In each train there will probably be
only four or five cargo cars, all ar
mored Officials fear long trains
would be too conspicuous. Each car
will carry $25,OOO,OOO of bullion, pro-
tected behind sealed doors by an es-
cort of railway mail guards.
In addition to the cars of gold, each
special train will have cars contain
ing postal inspectors and a regular
army contingent Of 80 men and two
officers.
Bullion bars will be transported in
canvass bags stamped registered
mail, special delivery" Informed sour
ces said the post office department
had decided to charge the treasury on
ly 100000 for the transfer, which at
regular rates, would cost almost $19,-
100000
