METRO MUSICAL,
 IN TECHNIC0L0R,
 CAPiT0L'S BILL

Yesterdays audiences at the Capitol Theatre found Joe Faster nak's musical production, Holiday in Mexico in Technicolor, to be as lush as any previous Metro musical. Sets and costumes are eye-openers and the musical pro- duction numbers are easy to take.
 The story has a unique and amusing introduction involving the use of animated cartoon char acters to set the stage. AS socn as it goes into the live cast, how ever, the trouble starts. Miss Pow ell, feeling herself losing the af- fections of her widowed father (Water PigeonD to Miss Massey, builds up her compensatory TO- nance with Joe Iturbi, while shun- ming the natural puppy-love of Doddy Mcdowell, scion of the British ambassador.
 The cast is uniformly good.

TIN DEp0SITS TO BE INVESTIGATED NOW, SEWARD PENINSULA
Robert Sanford Is Leaving Juneau for Summer Ex-
 pIoration Work

Additional investigations of the possibilities of tin deposits in Alaska will be made this summer by the U. s. Bureau of Mines, ac- cording to Robert S. Sanford, Act ing Chief of the Alaska Division of the Bureau of Mines. who is leaving Juneau today for the Seward Peninsula to assist in the preparations for this years inves- tigations.
 Sanford said that the U. s. Gov ernment conducted investigations in this area for three summers during the war, and these reveal ed evidence of some tin in that area. Further explorations of these possibilities are necessary, he said before their exact nature and commercial potential can be de- termined.
 Sanford explained that, during the war, the government was un- able to develop it's investigations to the proper extent because of a lack of the necessary equipment. He said that the Bureau of Mines now has the needed personnel and machinery for making complete explorations of possible mining sites and will increase it's possible additional work as quickly as possible.
 The mining chief said that sites in the Potato Mountain and Cape Mountain areas have already been drilled and that considerable amounts of placer tin have been developed. In addition, the Po- tato Mountain site has been trenched and sampled. In the Lost River district, Sanford said lode tin deposits have been diamond drilled.
 The Bureau of Mines is also sending B. J. Lynch, from it's head quarters in Washington, D. C., to inspect the results of past investi- gations and to assist in plans for future work Lynch has had many years of experience in Bolivian tin mining activities and is con- sidered a tin expert.
 Sanford expects to spend three CT four weeks in the Seward Pen insula area and will then inspect the mercury investigations now be- ing conducted in the Holitna Dis- trict.

MYSTERY "UNEARTHED"

A mystery was "unearthed" yes terday by Mrs. Alex Demos, while preparing garden spot at her home. What first looked like a piece of gold wire was found, and after the soil was cleaned off, it turned out to be a nugget bar pin with live nuggets, belonging to her neighbor, Mrs. A. E. Goetz.
