GOLD STRIKE
MADE, YUKON

FORT ST. JOHN, B. c., Sept. A.
R-Another tale of fabulous riches,
of solid gold nuggets valued at 500
a pan strewn along river banks of
the western Arctic, has come out of
the North.
Word of the gold strike was
brought here today by Ernest Max
well, mining engineer, who said H.
had made a dangerous plane flight
to verify the reports
Maxwell said he first heard about
the strike from Eskimos at Aklavik
who claimed they had found solid
geld nuggets worth 500 pan along
the Firth River 400 miles north of
Dawson City, heart of the stored
Klondike goldfields.
The engineer did not confirm the
ESkimos' reports as to the size OF
the nuggets, but said he had washed
gold along the Firth and its tribu
Jaries.
Further word is expected from two
prospectors who left for the Firth
two months ago and are due at
Aklavik September Is.
The Firth River is in Yukon Ter
ritory about "a miles from the
boundary of Alaska.

Briton Meant
What HeSaid
On Gold Plan
Bevin's Redistribution
Proposal View as Part
of Marshall Formula

LONDON, Sept. 4 - LAP An
authoritative American source said
today that Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin's proposal for redistribution
of the Fort Knox gold was, in the
British view, to be an integral part
OF the Marshall Plan for aiding
European economic recovery.
The informant said Bevin had
made the suggestion informally in
an exchange with U. S. Ambassador
Lewis w. Douglas before announc-
ing it publicly yesterday at The
Trade Union Congress in Southport
In the course of 70-minute talk
today with American congressman
who are investigating economic con-
ditions in Britain and western Eur
ope, the Foreign Secretary gave sew
eral more details of his proposal
this source added
Bevin's calculation of his proposal
for redistributing u S. gold stocks
came in answer to a question from
one of the Congressman and the
informant said the Foreign Secre-
tary made these points:
His proposal had the backing of
the British Government.
He believed it was unhealthy and
unsound economics, out of harmony
with the principles of multilateral
trade which the United States her.
self was urging, for one country TO
hold most of the worlds gold stocks
and not use them.
There would be no lasting settle
ment of Europe's economic diff
culties if continental recovery was
to depend on never ending U. S.
loans.
Gold could become the basis of
world currency systems and every
nation should have access to it.
The informant said Bevin's eluci-
dation of his proposal was received
somewhat skeptically" by the U.
S. Congressman. A member of the
delegation said TT just doesn't make
sense"

The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce today adopted recommen-
dalton for an amendment to the

vide for not less than five sections

make of these sections. We also
recommend that in accordance with
the policies followed upon the adj
mission of all of Western States,
that where these sections fall within
the National Forests, the land shall
be subject to Forest Service adj
ministration with the proceeds from
the resources going directly to the
State for the construction of roads
and trails as has been done in our

A great deal of discussion arose
over the adoption of the recommen-
dalton which originally related to MI
