DON CUSTAFSON TAXES MINING GAME TO HEART
Prominent Interior Mine Operator Connected
 with Nine Outfits

The Gustatscn brothers, Don, J. H., and George, have been con- nected with mining in Alaska for many years. A summary of the outfits in which Don Gustafson is interested forms a good impression of just how much a mining family the Gustafson brothers are.
 MT and Mrs. Don Gustafson ar rived by plane yesterday from Fair banks. Interviewed at the Gastin- eau Hotel, Gustafson tried to re- member production figures for his mining ventures, but had to content himself with itemizing the proper ties themselves.
 He is President and General Man ager of the Cleary Hill mines, near Fairbanks, an outfit that has pro- duced since 1923 when Gustafson took over, a million dollars in gold and has paid out $29O,000 in divi- dends.
 The Cleary Hill Mines also operate dragline at Tofty on Sullivan Greek, in the Manley Hot Springs district.
 Don Gustafson is also interested in the Hi Yu lode mine near Fair banks with Joe Crosson where they have been operating a 20-man crew on 10 stamp mill since 1882. The property has been worked since 1911 and has produced faithfully.
 Down in the Slug River district of Goodnews Bay, Don Gustafson is al- so doing drill prospecting with Joe Crosson More drilling will be done on this ground in the spring, Gus tafson said.
 And then there is the well known Clara Creek Mining Co.,, at Good news Bay. Don Gustafson is also
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-01-24

interested in that property with Dave Strandberg and also Strand 5erg's dragline proposition at Candle Greek, near McGrath
 The Gustafson brothers in addi- tion operate draglines on Mastadon Greek and on Gilmore Greek. the former being anothet proposition in which Joe Crosse Il is in crested.
 To top it all off, Don Gustafson said he and his biot!lers will in- crease their draglne operations in the Ruby district to two draglines this spring. They are alrcady op- erating a dragiine on Lcny Creek with Hal Tillescn and as socn as rTer transportation opens up, will put new dragline on Greensboro Creek, tributary to Long Creek.
 Don Gustafson came to Alaska in 1923. J. A. Gustafson came to the North in 1905, and the other broth CT, George, in 1912.
 MT and Mrs. Don Gustafson will sail south on the steamer Baranof tomorrow morning to travel as far east as Chicago and thence to Cal ltornia before returning in the Spring.

CALLING THE CAGERS-No. 6:
 Qudkers Rule the East

NEW YORK, Jan 24-EaStern basketball has a Quaker tinge again this season.
 Quaker quintets dribbled off with top honors a year ago, Pennsylvania winning the Eastern intercollegiate league championship and Pitts burgh taking Eastern conference laurels, and the outlook tavors Pennsylvania lives again.
 But perhaps on par with these are outlaw outfits, such non-con- ference aggregations as George Washington, Long Island, New York University and C.CN.W.
 While several strong Atlantic seaboard squads were trounced by mid-western and Pacific Coast clubs before settling down to postholiday intraloop warfare. the eastern quin- tets won their share of games Temple handed Stanford and Illi- nois setbacks. George Washington defeated Minnesota and Ohio State, and L. l. U. trounced Southern Methodist.
 Temple, which bowed to Pitts bugh in the conference playoff last winter, may turn the tables on the Panthers this season. Georgetown, Carnegie Tech, West Virginia and Penn State are other conference contenders but the Owls and Pan- thers showed most "early foot"
 Penn won 13 straight games last year in league competition and al- though the Quakers lost several aces, including Franny Murray, Coach Lon Jourdet's five looks po- tent again. Dartmouth, runnerup last season, Columbia and Yale have good squads, while Harvard expects better record Cornell and Princeton must show great inn provement to figure in the race.
