Japan's National Snort

For centuries wrestling has been
the national sport of Japan. Once
two royal princes met on the mat,
the winner being declared Emperor.
But Japanese wrestling is more
deadly because it includes jiu-
jitsu. Japanese wrestlers usually
weigh between 300 and 400 pounds.
They have a powerful guild, the ell
ders of which teach the sport and di-
rect tournaments. To insure great
size, rare in the Orient, they force
their sons to marry daughters of
wrestlers.

 Saturday evening a farewell meet ing was held in the Seventh-day Adventist Church at which time Pastor and Mrs, Wood presented the Juneau church with Q Loring and Blake two manual full pedal bass electrically operated chapel or gan as a memorial. A very pleasant evening was spent and the church presented Pastor and Mrs. Wood with a beautiful leather brief case and purse.
 Pastor and Mrs. M. L. Miles will have charge of the local church and mission office during the absence of Pastor and Mrs Wood.
 Pastor Wood came to Alaska first in 1928 at which time he made sur vey visit to the Territory This was followed by call which he accept ed, to be superintendent of the mission which he organized the fol- lowing spring with a constituency of but II members and one church, located in Ketchikan After thirteen years the constituency now numbers more than 200 with debt-free churches located in aSetchikan, Wrangell, Juneau, Anchorage, Pal mer, Fairbanks, Aleknagik and the order has been given for the erection of a prefabricated chapel for the Eskimo church at Pilot Point in Bristal Bay to be erected as soon as weather permits in the spring. The mission income has grown in mission funds from $2,300 in 1928 to $l5,- 64602 in 1940.

Small operations are
progressing in this district with
marked success
William Bruyn is employing sew
en- men at the Star and Star Elk
tension claims at Meadow Greek
near Wise River. The property is
being worked through an open cut
a shaft, and a tunnel.
Sarah Caswell and Myrl Erwin
are developing eight unpatented
claims adjoining the Ermont mines
south of here with a vertical shaft
an inclined shaft, and open cuts
Two men are employed.
The Mayday Mine is being work
ed by three leasers who are produc-
ing one ton of ore per day which
runs eight ounces in silver, $500
in gold, and eight per cent lead.
The property is owned by John
Thuleson of Argenta.
William Logan is developing the
Bonnie and Ruth groups of claims
in the Blue Wing district The ore
carries values in gold and silver.
Mr.. Logan also controls the Medi-
cine Lodge Coal company which
produces coal intermittently at its
mine near here.

at the sites OF extremely limited
deposits. there is no known source
in the United States from which
the Scandinavian product can be
duplicated except the Judith Basin
veins, he averred.
He said the Stanford ore is rela-
lively free from metallic impure
ties, carrying but 4 % of such and
of which a very minor part is sill
lea, the one impurity that entails
a high cost process to eliminate
from most iron ores even down to
the percentage Of purity in which
the Central Montana ore is found
in the natural state.
The local ore, he stated, has an
iron content averaging $50, the
other 300 being oxygen which can
be readily driven out by heating
and prevented from Tecombining
with the iron by cooling in deoxi-
died atmosphere. These things ac-
cording to the speaker, make the
Belt Mountain ore the largest and
richest body of raw iron in the
United States, and it would be prac-
tically non-competitive domestic
ally
Whitaker emphasized the pro-
duction advantages of powder iron
and the greater strength of iron
and steel products made from it.
This type of iron is made by mill
ing and heating, he said, without
ever bringing the material to the
melting point, and that fuels such
as the Lehigh coal are satisfactory
for this purpose.
Powder iron is fabricated into
bearings and other machine parts
simply .by pressing, he said. He
stated that motor bearings can be
pressed so perfectly from powder
iron that they require no machin-
ing with the possible exception of
polishing, before use. Wire made
from this product, he declared, is
one and one-third times stronger
than that made from pig iron.
Another advantage of the pow
dered product that he called to at
tention is the fact that an econo
mic unit can be so small as to
have but a 10 ton volume where
as a blast furnace plant must have
a capacity of from 800 to $50
tons to assure an economical opera
ton.
There is an unquestioned 1OO,-
100000 tons of iron in the Stan
ford deposit, he informed lying
mostly in veins of from 80 feet to
100 feet wide. The wider veins, he
said, could be mined by the open
pit method. He said that tests have
revealed that at least in places the
veins are 125 feet deep and pos
sjbly much deeper.

MAPLETON

work at the mine last July and has
shipped II carloads of ore since
that time. A lower tunnel is being
driven and is now in 625 feet,
with possibly 500 feet yet to be
driven. The property is an old one,
leased from the Filing and Willard

RICH PLACER
Discovered
NEAR CHICO

LIVINGSTONE remained fol
some Shelby oil men to develoJ
what appears to be the most i'm.
portant placer property of re
cent years in Montana. and CONNER
cial development is now under way
on vast gold deposit in Park
county. near the town of Chico
two miles off the paved highway
where hundreds and thousands Of
people pass by each year
The deposit was discovered by
Livingston people who contacted
Ray Larson and Herbert Kluth and
associates who had a dragline plac-
er outfit on the Crescent bar al
Gold Butte, in the Sweetgrass Hills
an operation that had not proven
highly successful. After preliminary
testing. the Shelby group moved
their equipment to Chico and con
structed water pipeline to divert
water into the gulch, starting work
at a location where bedrock was
about rs feet deep. Values as high
as SO per yard were reported on
bedrock.
The dragline and washer were
put into operation last week and ex-
cellent results are reported Where
as it has always been held that
large boulders prevented placer de-
velopment in this area, the drag
line is handling materials contain
ing few boulders above IA inches
in diameter. The bedrock is a
thick layer of clay.
Meantime, Larson and Kluth con-
tacted eastern interests with a
view to securing a dredge to mine
the ground in the lower gulch
which spreads out over thousands
of acres. Four test holes drilled to
100 feet showed values from grass
roots to bottom, with bedrock val
ues of go cents per yard. Follow
ing this revelation. the eastern
company advanced $4,000 to do
further testing on a 1500-acre block
which it proposes to dredge
The company is known as Lucky

FLOTATION
PLANT IS


MAIDEN-The new flotation
plant of the Western Mines Corpo-
ration near here is expected to be
in operation by the end of July
During the winter, the company
did much development work under
ground and this spring they open
ed up two large open pits where
ore will be mined by quarry meth
DDS
The No. 1 pit is the smaller of
the two but the average grade of
ore. with values mostly in gold,
is $500 per ton. In the No. 2
pit, $4,000 tons of ore are partial
ly blocked out ready for breaking
for mill feed. streaks of highgrade
bring the average grade of ore to
$500 per ton.
The mining method selected for
these pits will permit mining costs
to run as low as fifty cents per
ton.
Several rich streaks have been
found in a new drift opened thru
the Silver Bell Tunnel and this find
is expected to raise the value of
the mill feed
Work in two tunnels and the
two pits has provided 10000 tons
of ore to draw from in addition
to 5000 tons being stored jim the
bins. Some 100000 tons of ore
are partially blocked out
A crew of Is men were employ
ed at the property during the win
ter and more men are expected to
be hired upon completion of the
mill
