Prospector Should
Seek Mica Deposits

Despite years of research. no all
around substitute is yet in use for
mica. one of the vital war minerals
in which Uncle Sam was recently
reported to be deficient, says a
bulletin from the National Geo
graphic Society In valuable objects
such as fuse boxes. telephones, air.

sockets. magnetos and radio con-
densers, mica dramatically proved

Of it.
Today. industrial United States is
the largest consumer of this miner
al So great are the nations needs
that although il is also the worlds
largest producer the domestic
sources are insufficient. Additional
amounts therefore are normally i'm
ported from abroad, chiefly from
British India and South Africa. With
the present worldwide wars which
have rendered foreign sources un-
stable, the long studled question OF
possible substitutes of mica in its
chief electrical uses is again re-
ceiving attention. So far no such
substitute has been commercially
launched, although one or two prom
ising competitive materials have
been developed in research labora-
tories.
An odd fact in connection with
this modern industrial mineral is
that ancient aboriginal history in
dicates that it was the first mineral
to be mined in North America

SENATOR KEY PITTMAN ADVOCATES BIG NAVY

WASHINGTON, April "A - Chairman Key Pittman of the Senate foreign relations commit tee, registering support for a bigger navy declared it is imper- ative for the United States to build a fleet capable of defend ing the western hemisphere al- one, if necessary.
 He told reporters he thought this country should not depend on the existence of the British fleet to maintain the Monroe Doc Urine. Neither, he said, should the U. s. ever be placed again in the position of having to go to the aid of England and France to protect our own interests as the country did in the last war.
 A Navy this size would consid erably exceed the one contemplat ed under the pending bill pro- posing an II percent increase in strength and on which action is expected by the Naval committee next week.
 The House already has approv- ed the bill.

No Pitches

Bullwinkel was confident that no hitch will arise in the plans for the twice-weekly flying boat schedule Seattle to Juneau, be- ginning May Is or shortly there after.
 The traffic manager discount ed any probability that the Civil Aeronautics Authority might bring in an unfavorable report over the Alaska line. CAA heads are still silent as to recommenda- tions following the taking of tes timony at public hearings in Washington D. C., several weeks ago.
 We would not have entered into the large scale improvement program and advanced prepara- tions now in progress had We not felt confident the CAA is a 100 percent champion of the States Territory connection" said Bull Winkel.
 Bullwinkel was unable to give assurance that two Douglas trans ports will be assigned to the Fair ,banks-Juneau run.

and that one German plane was be-
lieved to have been shot down.
The raid, however, apparently
was less intensive than that Of two
weeks ago, when. the Germans as
serted they had hit four Warshlps,
and done extensive damage to air
ports and anti-afrcraft positions.
The British admitted slight dam
age to but one warship in that raid,
but said the first British civilian
casualties Of the war were inflicted.
The raid on Sylt followed.
The British admiralty said the
convoy raid was a failure. At least
ten bombs were dropped by the,
German fliers, the British said, but
the attacked ships zig-zagged sue
cessfully and came out ~unscathed
while anti-aircraft fire from the es-
corting men o'war drove off the
planes.
1.-THE conveys are proceeding on
their voyages" ended the statement
by the laconic admiralty. which
quotes odds of SIS to 1 against a
conveyed ship being sunk by Ger
man action.
The admiralty also announced the
~interception and scuttling, "in
northern waters" of the 4,0O7-ton
German freighter Mimi Horn, which
recently left the Dutch West Indies
port of Curacao. The ship was set
afire by her crew, the announce
ment said.
This, according to British figures,
brought to 3o3,946 tons the German
merchant ship losses by capture or
self-destruction. On the other hand
the admiralty reported losses to AL
lied and neutral shipping in the
week ended Sunday midnight had
fallen to 1901 tons, lowest since
the first week of the new year.
The British list did not include the
Netherlands fishing trawler Proti-
nus, sunk by a mine March 26, or
the 5,439-ton freighter Barnhill,
bombed and set on fire at the close
of the preceding week and now re-
garded a total loss.
