TWO THOUSAND COMMISSIONER,
 NAVAL RESERVE

SEATTLE, Feb. 23-Almost two thousand men from the Thirteenth Naval District have been commits stoned as officers in the United States Naval Reserve during the past ten months according to an announcement today from the Of flee of Naval Officer Procurement for the District.
 i Records for the present intensive program of officer procurement, through which men are commits stoned and assigned to duties, eith- CT general or special, were started last April 10. In the first ten months of the program 1894 com- missions were awarded through the Seattle office. An average of 338 completed applications were filled each month at TIT Marion Street. Despite this large number, hun- dreds of officers still are needed for both general and special duty in naval stations and on ships. Re- cords of the Procurement Office show that following the stoppage of enlistments for the various services, there was decrease in the num- ber of qualified applicants for na- val commissions. During the past few weeks, however, the number has shown gradual increase as several new classifications were an- nounced and selection for older classifications was intensified.
 To supplement the continuing
 program in the Seattle Procure ment Office, officer selection boards will be sent into all sections of the Pacific Northwest during the next few months. The immediate de- mand for an increasing number of officers and for qualified students
 in the college training program made this move necessary, Pro- curement Officers said.
 The boards, composed of two or three officers, will visit the prin- cipal cities of the Thirteenth Na- val District and interview appli- cants for commissions in the Naval Reserve. Aptitude tests and physi- cal examinations will be by the boards. Applicants will be able to complete their applications, obtain the necessary educational trans cripts, birth certificates, photo graphs and letters of recommenda- ton in their own communities.
 No dates have been set for the start of the program

US. BUREAU OF MINES IS SHORT
 OF FUNDS HERE

Thirteen mining companies are |now engaged in the development of strategic minerals in Alaska, fol- lowing the joint efforts of the Unit ed States Bureau of Mines and the Territorial Department of Mines tc develop critical and strategic min erals in Alaska. This program is deemed highly satisfactory to date by both Federal and Territorial au- thorities.
 However, word has just been re- ceived by R. s. Sanford, District Engineer now stationed in Juneau that because of the great pressure for similar strategic mineral devel- opments throughout the United States and elsewhere, the United States Bureau of Mines allocation of funds will not be sufficient and that funds will have to be sought from other quarters to continue at the end of this fiscal year, June 30.
 The present activity was initiat- ed through. the joint efforts of the United States Bureau of Mines. the Territorial Department of Mines and a grant from the War Produc- ton Board secured by Governor Ernest Gruening year ago. If fur ther exploration and development is to take place, funds will have to be secured from another quart CT. MT. Sanford stated today. The stategic mineral projects in- clude work in the four judicial di- visions and are expected to give em- ployment to several thousand men eventually It is the belief of the
 District Engineer that many of these projects are in no sense war babies" but will result in long range
 development and permanent em- ployment. The number of these per manent projects and prospects de- pends, MT Sanford said, on the amount of money made available for their development, The problem immediately confronting Alaska is
 to secure these funds, he said.
