 on Third Hit

San Juan, Puerto Rico, Feb. 26- UP)-Members of the crew of the 5685-ton British tanker La Carriere of London told today how their ship had survived two German sub marine attacks within four hours but succumbed to a third three hours later.
 The survivors did not know whether one submarine ~ two or three attacked them. The first, at tacking at 722 p. III. Tuesday, hit the ship amidship with two tor pedoes.

Yes terday Judge Gaffney sentenced two men to jail for 30 days on charges of intoxication.
 The men sent to jail for 90 and 60 stretches today are local resi- dents of no certain address, who were in court within the last two days and given suspended sen- tences.

 Work Starts

Trail work in the Groundhog ba- sin area is getting under way with the aim of development of potential strategic mineral property in the promising area near Wrangell in which several local investors are interested. Three horses arrived this week for use as pack animals in doing the winter work in which about 12 men are now engaged. Pre- sent work is being done as pri- yate undertaking through a Can adian syndicate.
 U. s. Mining engineers spent a large part of the summer in the district, finding reported favorable desposits of minerals needed in the war effort. Groundhog has been given high rating as a potential strategic mineral area. If U. s. min ing engineer reports warrant it, government encouragement to de- Velop the strategic mineral possibili- ties on a greater scale is anticipated. Strategic minerals are No. 1 item on the war efforts production needs list.
