FIRST MINE IS DEVELOPING IN
 NEW ORE VEINS
Sorensen Reveals Two Shoots of Very Good"
 Rock Opened Up

New faith in the Chichagof min ing area was expressed today by Paul Sorensen, Superintendent of the Hirst- Chichagof, who revealed thte two new ore shoots of very good ore" have been opened by re- cent prospecting within the mine.
 Declining to comment on precise values of the new ore shoots en- countered, Sorensen said the extent of the new bodies is as yet un- known, but ore tenor is very sat- isfacatory"
 In commenting on the new dis coveries. Sorensen paid compliment to the United States Geological Sur vey which recently completed a sur vey of the Chichagof area under the direction of John Reed, promising young Government geologist who has been working in Southeast AL aska for the past few years.
 We have accumulated a great deal of information on the Chich- agof district in our own mine" Sor- ensen said, But the work of the Geological Survey has put frame on the picture through correlating the results of our investigations in all properties of the district"
 Sorensen said his recent explora- tory work within the Hirst has been carried on largely with the conelus- ions of Geological Survey in mind.
 We have driven three prospect ing drifts into ground that had no mineral hope beyond geological possibility and two of those drifts have showed good commercial ore" Sorensen said.
 It is interesting to note as mat ter of record and prophecy for the Hirst district that Hirst mining op- erations were begun on geological recommendations Ore showings were practically nil at the surface, but developed richly as depth was achieved on shear zones.
 encouraged py the two recent dis- coveries in hitherto unworked por- ton of the mine, Sorensen is pur- suing large scale exploration work
 Sixty-five per cent of the mining payroll at the mine is now engaged in prospecting work, Sorensen said.
 The well known engineer will be a guest at the Baranof Hotel for few days while he attends to business here, He flew in with Shell Simmons from the mine Monday ev- ening.

 HIGHWAY AGAIN
Young Alaska Business Man 10 Put Diesel
 Truck in Service

Young Alfred Ghezzi of Fairbanks, is still Alaska's biggest little business man and one of the Territory's best success stories.
 The Empire a year ago chronicled the sudden rise of Ghezzi to a place in Alaskas business world. l Briefly, that rise to a moderate success is this. Four years ago, Ghezzi was a junior in high school at Nenana, on the Government rail- road. That summer he purchased an old Ford truck and began a freighting service over the Richard son Trail from Valdez to Fairbanks, approximately 380 miles of tough driving in any truckers country. The Ghezzi Trucking Service grew. Last year he operated the first re- grigerator trucks on the trail, streamlined vehicles last word in modern freight conveyance, and con- tinued at a profit in competition to the Government operated Alaska Railroad
 Today, Ghezzi owns and operates his service, consisting of seven trucks on the trail
 He arrived by PAA Electra today from Fairbanks and is guest at the Baranof Hotel, visiting his sister Catherine, working in a Government office here, and plans to continue Outside to buy "big diesel truck, " which will be the first diesel truck on the Richardson Highway.
 And successful, pioneering Alaska born trucker Ghez2i isn't embar- rassed by his age He is 20. and still has no vote.

(3) The international highway Taking note of latent opposition among home Alaskans, Dr. Gruen- ing said today that if the Terri tory could get the millions the highway would cost, and would be allowed to spend them as it liked Alaska no doubt could do much fer road development. But the point which must be remembered, he said, is that we won't get the money for anything but an inter national highway. The Territory hasn't received any road funds in the past five years except for main tenance of existing highways, he said.
 Governor Gruening said he be- lieved the big highway would bring more road funds for other routes to the Territory. He spoke of a highway system" growing in AL aska, spreading out in all directions from the principal centers. Juneau Outlet
 That both Juneau and Ketchikan would ultimately be connected with the international highway Governor Gruening has no doubt. The Juneau junction would be at Atlin and the Ketchikan connection would strike through to Hazelton
 Governor Gruening said he was very busy at present becoming ac- quainted with details of his office and had a feeling the less he said at present the better all around. ''
 Announcing the resignation of Harry G Watson, the Governor also expressed the hope the Secretary of Alaska will take a more active part in the work of the Governors office. He praised the ability of Secretary of Alaska E. L. (Bob) Bartlett and said his talents could do much for the upbuilding of the Territory.
 pr. and Mrs. Gruening arrived on the steamer Yukon at 6 o'clock last evening. Met at the boat by a local committee, they went to the Gov ernor's mansion and later to the office for the inaugural ceremony.
