INISkIN DRILL
 WORK FOR OIL
 OVER FOR YEAR
Depth of 8, 700 Feet Is Reaehed-No Commer-
 tiaI Field as Yet

A test for oil a few days ago in the drill hole of the Iniskin Oil Drilling Company at Chinitna Bay was disappointing, according to Russell Havenstrite, President of the company.
 Havenstrite, with his wife, and brother, Homer, Superintendent of the operations, passed through Ju- neau southbound on the Denali last night. Accompanying them was Mrs Jack Allen, whose husband is handling the dragline operations of the Havenstrites in gold plaacers at Ophir and in the Kaiyuh Hills, near Nulato.
 Havenstrite said the drill hole had been put down 8,700 feet, twice as far as we had intended to go,' and that commercial oil field had not developed. although showings of gas and oil were constant from 5,700 feet on down.
 At the bottom of the hole, salt water was encountered, necessitat- ing a change in drilling procedure, and with the season late, it was de- cided to suspend operations at least until next year.
 Havenstrite said we haven't quit by any means and the geology is still very. favorable s NAz

BELGIAN MINING MEN WILL MAKE
 JUALIN SURVEYS
Leave Europe on Day War Begins Aboard Liner
 He de France

Two Belgium mining engineers ar rived in Juneau last night on the Princess Louise to make another sur vey of the old Jualin mine property at Berner's Bay
 O. Mulder, of Antwerp, was here four years ago on the same mission. He is accompanied by E. Poncin, of Brussels, on this trip.
 Although Mulder, who speaks good English and does the talking for Poncin, explained his trip by say ing the two would "just see what has to be done" on the property, he implied that if financing problems are ironed out, working of the old lodes might be resumed
 Belgian interests still control the Jualin and Mulder denied that ef- forts were being made to consoli- date the holdings of the Kensington and Jualin mines.
 Both engineers will go to the mine with Ralph Reischl on the 1 Treva c. to spend probably one ol two weeks on the property.
 The two talked resignedly of the war in Europe. They left on the He de France, but were held up fot a day in departing because that wa the day Germany invaded Poland As for an eventful crossing of thu Atlantic to New York. Mulder sait they saw no submarines" and n, !. military activity other than a fey Canadian flying patrol boats. The two are here only by spec ial permit" Mulder said, and Mul der at least, must return to b ready for army duty. They ar guests at the Gastineau Hotel. | q-r y,sNa- = szf----<p -N-s- --.-- "a

Association Contends
Use of Brick Would
Lower Value of Sites

The Southeast Citizens Associa-

of the specifications from stone to
brick for the new proposed National

send letter to Engineer Commis-
sioner David McCoach opposing the

to decrease the value of the building

were for future Government projects
similar to the new stone buildings
in and around the Federal Tri-
angle.

gates to the Federation of Citizens
Associations, and Mr.. Absher, Mr.
Davy and Mr.. Maio will continue
as representatives to the South
east Council.
Action on the complaint against
the reorganized Recreation Depart
ment was deferred until the next
