Mining operators from Candle, O. F. Weinand and his son Fred. are in Juneau headed north after vacation Outside for the past three months.
 Superintendent of the Kewalik Company on Kotzebue Sound. MT. Weinand reports that drilling operations on new ground will start this month Drilling will be done through the ice on the Ke- walk River into the river bottom.
 With his son, Weinand operated probably the most elaborate private prospecting outfit in Alaska. The days when a sourdough went out with a pan looking for pay dirt are passed. Now, according to him, it is a question of being equipped with expensive machinery. prepared to run drill holes for ore samples.
 Weinand and his son covered the tundra section within a 100-mile radius of Candle with $5,000 spread consisting of Cat" tractor behind which was lowed a trailer house and an airplane drill. When they found likely spot they would stop and commence boring to bedrock for core samples. All ground tested now is with the purpose of finding suitable dredge property.
 New operations are going ahead on the Dime Creek District and on Cugruk River in the Fairhaven District. Two new companies are planning installat ton of dredges in these sections.
 Cradle, the center of the Fair haven District, has population of some 250 people in the summer which drops to about 75 in the win CT
 Largest operator in the area is the Arctic Circle Exploration Con- pany which runs dredges in the pany which runs no dredges in the Fairhaven District.
 A resident of Alaska for 35 years, MT. O. F. Weinand has served in the capacity of superintendent of the Kewalik Company for 27 years

WASHINGTON WOULD RECOGNIZE HIS OLD HOME
 ITS ALMOST THE SAME NOW AS WHEN HE LEFT III

ings are those which were in the house when George and Martha lived there. And now the 19-room mansion and it's out buildings. from white walls and dark red roofs to the quaint cypress shingles on the barn, are the same in appearance as in Washington's day.
 Furthermore, it now would be pos- sible to produce replicas of the cele- brated home for future generations of Americans, should the mansion ever be destroyed. Large-scale meas ured drawings are available which include even the intricate designs of the ornamental plaster ceilings.
 Scores of flowers of the same variety enjoyed by the Washingtons and their guests will bloom in the Mount Vernon gardens this year as the result of intensive research which included listing thousands of popular 18th century plants.
 Some 40 of the trees on the estate were there in Washington's time, and few were planted under his immediate supervision. Old trees destroyed by storms are replaced by the same species, and the land scaping pattern is substantially as planned and developed by the first President.
 Stones on Wh ich Washington walked pave the floor of the piazza. but a few must be replaced each year becausoaof the ceaseless tramp ing of visitors. Replacements come from the same quarry near White haven, England, where Washington obtained the originals.
 The first President had the weather boardings of the mansion grooyed to simulate stone joints. Sand dashed against the freshly painted surfaces heightened the stone effect, and the paint-sand combination still is used on the estate.
 When the barn was reshingled re- gently, the association broug Ii { shingles of heart cypress from the South Carolina locality where Gen. eral Washington got his supplies. Inside the barn, research is being carried on to determine the location

 Cid Pottery Returned
 Typical recent household access sions are a dainty cup and saucer of Custine pottery, originally given to Washington by the Comte de Custine Sarreck, and ponderous waffle iron of revolutionary vint- age. cThc first President loved his batter cakes with many dishes of tea.'D
 The Custine cup and saucer came back to Mount Vernon as the gift of Miss Christina L. Macomb and Miss Mamie R. Macomb of Wash ington, D. c. One hundred years ago they were given by the third wife of Washiugton's seretary- To- bias Lear, to the wife of Commodore Jchn Rodgers, an ancestor Of the Misses AEacomB
 Washington's volmninous diaries and letters to Mount Vernons over seers are the chief source Of in formation about the original estate. The association has a staff Of four research specialists, whose work is augmented by that of the regent, the vice regents from the several States, and the superintendent and head gardener at Mount Vernon.
 Researchers are stumped, so far, in their quest for an 18th century ice cream freezer. Dinner guests of the Washingtons wrote of hay ing iced creams" for dessert, and contemporary writings reported that the first First Lady had a freezer

 Distributed to Families
 The original furnishings of the house were distributed among mem bers of the Washington and Custis families or sold by executors after Mrs Washingtons death in 1902 The association at first refurnished the mansion with period pieces but year after year these are being re- placed by originals acquired by purchase. donation and bequest.
 Most of the articles come from descendants of the Washington and Custis families. The first contribu- ton was the now priceless harrsi- chord which President Washington imported from London tor Nelly Custis in 1793. Descendants of Nelly and her husband, Lawrence Lewis nephew of Washington returned 1t to Mount Vernon in 1860.
 Most interesting relic to the ma jority of some 600,OO0 annual vis- itors to the hearthstone of the country, is the bed on which Wash ington slept and died. It came back to Mount Vernon from Arlington House, the historic mansion built by George Washington Parke Gus tis. adopted son of the first Presi- dent and father-in-law of Robert E. Lee.

 Damage Cruiser in Dock
 The explosion occurred on the starboard side. Four tugs hauled the cruiser to the Rosyth dockyard for repairs. The Belfast, launched in 1888, was one of Britain's most mod ern cruisers. It is described in the latest edition of Jane's Fighting Ships as reported to be very well protected, being designed to with stand eight-inch shell fire. It's in- ternal subdivision is exceptionally complete" This fact was believed to have saved 1t from sinking.
