Bombers in Suez Region,
Nozi Command Reports

BERLIN, Jan. 20 (P.-It was re-
ported officially last night that Ger
man bombers penetrated to British
positions in the Suez Canal region
in Egypt, while Stukas dive-bombed
the British aircraft carrier Illus
trious for the third time.
Three hits were reported scored
on the 23,000-ton craft in the har-
Dor at Valletta, Malta, where she
was taken to undergo repairs after
the original attack, January 10, off
Sicily.
The high command dismissed the
Suez raid with the laconic sentence:
Individual German battle planes
the same night (January I'D at
tackled militarily important objec-
tives in the region of the Suez Canal
in Egypt"
The British, who made no men,
ton of the reported raid, believe
the German dive-bomber base is at
Catania, Sicily. some 1000 miles
from the zuez Canal.

there has been no complete re- port on the amount of gold being mined by the Soviets. It is known, however, that Russian gold operations have not been idle.
 So, maybe, after all discussions pro and con, we will be able to continue using gold. as a basis of exchange long after the present conflict is ended. At least, some of the major nations of the world besides ourselves still seem to regard gold as being worth dig ging for.
 vaal mines to set a new high re- cord for production of the min eral in a single month there.
 This was the second new gold production record chalked up by the Transvaal miners since the beginning of the war and topped a total monhly production of 1,211,277 ounces mined in Oct Der of last year.
 Surely, with their gold produc ton stepped up at this rate, the sons of John Bull can not be too concerned about the value desert ing this yellow metal.
 There's another thing to con- sider when econmists point to the huge percentage of the worlds gold supply being held in this country. To large ex- tent, they are reckoning without knowledge of the amount of gold being held by the United Social ist Soviet Republic of Russia. For at least the past half-dozen years

Britain Still Digs Gold

Economists, pseudo economists, and so-called monetary reform CTS have had favorite topic on which to write pamphlets the past few years.
 Yes, of course, you've guessed it, that topic has been GOLD. Thousands of pages have been filled with black print about the place of the yellow metal in the new economy" to come.
 As result, people who under ordinary circumstances might be anxious to supply capital for the development of promising ore properties have been bit hesi- tant. The squat shadow of Hitler on the European horizon, the warnings that Nazi victory in Europe will mean the end of the power of gold in world econ- omics these forbodings have prompted the speculators to keep their hands in their pockets in a well wait and see what hap pens" attitude.
 The would-be economists are apt to point to the fact that the United States has approximately 80 percent of the worlds supply buried in the ground at Fort Knox and other federal deposit ories.
 How" they ask, "can we ex- pect the other nations to trade with us on a gold standard bas- is, when they have practically no gold of their own? We have gold to offer them, but what are we going to accept from the oth CT nations for goods we must ex- port?"
 Maybe there are no smart ec- o1omists in the British Isles, at any rate the British don't seem particularly worried about their gold losing its value.
 We hear a lot of brave stories from Britain about "business as usual" in the stolid British man. ner while London is bombed and the island threatened. As a mat ter of fact, we know that, just as in this country but even more so, every abe bodied British citi zen who is not holding a neces- sary position with some industry which is vital to the welfare of the nation or required to carry out the war, is drafted into ac- tual defense services. As never before, England's manhood is her lifeline.
 But at the same time, business seems to be going along better than usual in the British Trans vaal, in South Africa, where re- ports tell of more gold being dug than ever before. In the month of May, a total of l,219 068 ounc es of gold were taken from Trans

Building Alaska Youth Character
Fairbanks NeWs-Miner)

Once China built a wall. She lived behind it. She laughed at her enemies. She felt secure.
 Soon an invader came from the north. Three times China found the enemy inside her gat- es. They did not storm the wall. They did not go around it. They simply bribed the gatekeepers.
 Yesterday France built a wall the Maginot Line. Steel and stone. She felt secure behind it. She put her faith in it. Yet France fell. Why?
 Something was missing. There was gap through which an in- vader came. That gap was not only in the wall. It was in the spirit of the people.
 Today America builds wall a ring of steel. Ships and planes and guns. But is it enough?
 Does America have what China lacked? What France lack ed? Does she have total defense?
 She builds her wall. BUT :. does she build men of character?
 Suppose it were up to you to say how the million two hundred thousand American boys annual ly reaching the age of twelve should be trained so that DemOc- racy, in their hands would be secure. Their training would surely include these fundamen- tals:
 Tolerance and reverence to- ward God . /. Loyalty to flag and country Service to con- munity Self reliance :. Strong moral qualities.
 Would such fundamentals as these underlie your plan of train ing your for Democracy? They are the fundamentals of the Boy Scout Movement. They make up the right kind of character.
 This week interested citizens are conducting a campaign for funds in Fairbanks as part of the intensifcation of the Boy Scout Program in the Territory of AL aska When you are asked to sub scribe, consider your financial aid as a real investment in Americas future, for the Boy Scout Move ment returns tremendous divi- dends in men of character, train ed for participating citizenship.
 Funds secured will maintain a strong Territorial Administra- tion of trained, professional Scout Executives who will guide, counsel with, and otherwise pro- vide needed training to the var ious leaders who are carrying on the program in Cub Packs, Scout Troops, Sea Scout Ships, and EX- plorer Troops.
 One trained executive who has been serving the Territory dur ing the last four months has ben largely responsible for a 20 percent membership gain in that period. Still hundreds of Alas kan boys want to join this great American Youth Movement. They can be invited to join only as we have Packs, Troops, and Ships for them to join under trained volunteer leadership.
 America must show that she does not lack the character which was so obviously missing in the countries that have been overrun by ruthless, intolerant invaders. Let us have men of character to match our material defense. Subscribe generously to the Boy Scouts of America, and especially to the Fairbanks Scout Fund. Americas future definitely lies in its youth.

Gold Mostly From Lodes

oul NSy SdlQ.t
 Gold Mostly From Lodes
 The output of Alaska gold com es from both lode (hard-rock) mines and placer mines. In 1940 the output from these two types of mines was in the proportion of about 28 to 72 - $7,326, ,O00 from lodes and $l8,852.OO0 from placers. The producing gold lodes are widely distributed through the Territory but about 65 per cent of the output in 1940 came from lodes, in southeastern Alas ka, where accessibility to deep water routes of communication and other favorable conditions have permitted the successful mining of immense tonnage of low grade gold ore.
 Other lode-gold producing dis tricts of Alaska were the Willow Creek district, in the Cook In- et-Susitna region; the Fairbanks and the Nabesna districts, in the Yukon region; the area near Val deg and adjacent parts of Prince William Sound region; the Kenai Peninsula district; the Nixon Fork district, in the Kuskokwim region; and the Bremner district, in the Copper River region. Pros pecting for gold lodes was in pro gress at many other tracts in the Territory, but at none of them was any significant amount of gold ore mined except such as was taken out in the course of the exploratory work.
 Yukon Basin Leads
 Of the hundreds of camps that contributed to the output of p acer gold, those in the Yukon Basin mined the greatest amount and those in Seward Peninsula came next, their production be- ing STATEHOOD and $4,470, 0,00O respectively. Slightly more than 6412 percent of the total placer gold produced in the Territory was mined by dredges, of which AS (not including one platinum mining dredge in the Kusko- kwim region) were active during 1940.
 Of these, p were in the Yu- kon region, 23 in Seward Penin- sula, and three in the Kusko- kwim region. Together these dredges produced gold having a value of SIP, 186,0 ,000. They are es tffnated to have. handled about 2l,820,000 cubic yards of gravel, and the gold recovered averaged approximately 558 cents cubic yard. The longest season report ed for any of the dredges in 1940 was 269 days for dredges of the Fairbanks Department of the United States Smelling Refining & Mining Co. near Fairbanks, and the longest season reportedI for dredges in Seward Peninsula was 193 days. One dredge min ed in 1889 was idle in 1940 and six dredges were in operation in l940 that were not in operation in l939.

Mining Hits
 All Time High For Last Year

Mines in Alaska produced min- erals worth 8,470.0O0 in 194O as against ,$25, 296. 900 in 193a according to an announcement made by the U. s. Geological Survey. The amount was $812, 00O more than was estimated in a preliminary report by the Sur vey on January 1.
 Gold produced in the Territory amounted to $26, ,178, 900 in 194O as compared to $23,279,000 in 1889 the report said. The gold output was greater than in any year, even surpassing the boom days during the early part of the century.
 Mineral production nearly reached the record made during the World War when huge cop- per shipments from Kenecott and Latouche brought produc- ton to $29,0O0,000.
The Nome nugget., 1941-08-20
3 Million Over 1939

The total value of the mineral output for l940 exceeded that of 1889 by nearly $3,174,090 or about 1912 percent. The quality of coal mined in Alaska in 1940 exceeded that of any previous year in the entire history of the Territory. Silver production in- creased as far as value was con- cerned although the quantity was actually less than in 1939
 The increase was not regarded as being due to unusually favor able conditions that may not soon be repeated but appears to be a new level that can be main tained or bettered under such normal conditions as may reason
