NEW NURSE SAILS
 FOR BETHEL POST

According to a press release re- ceived today by Commissioner B. D. Stewart of the Territorial De- partment of Mines from the U. $. Bureau of Mines, the preliminary estimate of gold production for 1940 in the Territory of Alaska was S26,- 782.000.
 This estimate is larger by approx imately one million one hundred thousand dollars than the estimate given on January l by the U. s. Geological Survey
 The amount given in the sur- vey, S25.375 900, was the amount quoted by Gov Ernest Gruening in his message to the Legislature as the most reliable figure obtainable to that date.
 It is entirely possible additional reports to the Bureau may show a small increase over the amount reported in these early surveys.
 Even before these figures were released the gold production of the Territory for 1940 was far above any previous year not ex- cepting the heaviest production in the gold rush years.

 Hinting, not too gently, that Mir Grounding, due to make his ap- pearance tomorrow, is an unfair and somewhat unreliable competitor whose prognostications should be disregarded, the local weather bu- reau released today the annual resume of the history of Ground hog Day as follows:
 February is Candlemas Day, a feast day so old as to antedate the Christian era, for the ancient Ro- mans selected the day to burn can- dles to their goddess Februa, mother of Mars Superstition has it that
 If Candlemas be afr and clear
 Therell be two winter in the year"
 Out of this traditional belief has grown the legend of the ground hog, also widely known as the woodchuck. This little animal is supposed to waken from his long winter sleep on Candlemas morning and crawl out of his burrow to view the weather.

SENTENCE OF p0LYCAMIST
 TWO YEARS

Barbara Kaniannen Enestevdt was sentenced to two years in Federal penitentiary this morning by Judge George F Alexander after pleading guilty in Federal Court to a charge of polygamy.
 The defendant. the records show ed, had married two men in a period of three weeks. On December T, 1940 she married Louis M Enestevdt of Sitka, and on December 23 she mar ried George John Keranen in Ju- neau.
