FIGURE T ON ICE MISTAKEN
 FOR KEEP AWAY BY PILOT

ANCHORAGE - Returning from 22 days in the wilderness. Fred Ma son and Robert IT. Rockwell of New York city. and Guy WaddeIl Of this city. arrived from Rainy Pass with pilot Art Woodley of the Woodley Airways The hunting trip of the New Workers was extended four days because of a mix-up on signals to pilots.
 The arrangement was that the men were to mark on the ice of Stillman Lake the thickness of the ice. When the ice was six inches thick il would be strong enough for a plane to land.
 Mason said he wrote a big figure seven on the ice last week and waited for the plane Pilots, how ever. approached the seven from the wrong direction and read it as the Roman numeral for five.
 Larry Larson stopped for a visit with the hunters last Saturday He found the ice was then eight inches thick and reported it upon arrival here. Woodley then went for the party. The ice was 12 inches thick when he landed on the lake.
 T thought l had such a long tail on the seven that it couldn't be mis- taken. Mason explained. Every day I went out and made that tail longer, believing there must be something wrong"
 The hunters said the ice froze an inch a day on the lake and the pro- cess was so rapid that it made a roar like thunder.
 While in the pass, the men hunt en baribou, moose and bear. They brought back some fine specimens.

MINING NEEDS INVESTORS
 MORE THAN PROsPECT0RS

The more painstakingly We look into the mining situation in Alaska says The Alaska Sportsman editor iaIy in the December number, just issued, the more thoroughly We be- come convinced that the present need may not be so much for more prospectors as Tor investors to take over and develop the properties the prospectors have already discovered and which are lying idle Tor need of the capital to buy the machinery, labor, and other equipment necessary for exploration and development.
 In the prospectors heydey in AL aska the man without funds could develop the placer claims that were then to be found and. on small grubstake and with a shovel and a sluice box, make big money.
 Today is the age of machinery Most of the placer grounds have been stripped Of their easily ob- tained gold. Dredges are moving in, turning over the ground with glgan- tic buckets, draglines are going over the grounds which the pros pectors scratched ."
 No, it is doubtful if Southern Alaska needs progpeetors more than capital for the development of it's mineral resources. There are pros pectors who have been sitting on their claims for thirty years wait ing for an engineer to come along.
 In the December number, also, is the first of a series of letters of a King Cove school teacher, Kenneth L. Cohen.
 Arthur Jerome Beecher tells an intriguing story of the gold-rush days. "Out From Eldorado"; Steve McCutcheon story of Goat Hunt at Eklutna Lake"
 For a true adventure story of the Arctic it is hard to beat the one by E. L. Keithahn of the Wrangell h. stitute staff, entitled, Stranger than Fiction
 In the story, Alone" woman at Homer tells Charl Finley how she outwits loneliness.
 The Christmas number is un- usually well illustrated and has a photograph Of a moose at Tustu- mena Lake for a cover decoration and a picture of Mount Blackburn and Kennecott Glacier for front ispiece.

 Do you realize that there are onlY 37 days until Christmas? Are you going to do your shopping early this season?

The annual summer increase in

There has been no major outbreak,
he said. but water should be boil

before consumed. Businessmen
spending time in the country
should be vaccinated as they know
nothing of the type of water they
drink while outside the city.
