MUST FILE TO HOLD CLAIMS
BY JULY 1. 1947

JUNEAU-In order to hold min ling locations claimants in Alaska, as well as in the States, must, un- der the law now in effect, file be- fore 12 o'clock meridian of July n, 1947 a notice of their desire to hold their claims.
 This requirement does not apply, however to those claimants who already within the current assess ment year, that is since July 1, 1946. have filed the required not ice.
 This interpretation of tie exist ing law as it was affected by the recent Presidential Proclamation was secured from the office of Sol- icitor for the Interior Department at Washington D. C., by Delegate Bartlett on request of Territorial Commissioner of Mines, B. D. Stew art.
 The recent press release that an- nounced the necessity of perform ing assesSment work on mining claims for the year commencing July l, 1947 left in doubt the pro- cedure necessary to protect a claimants rights in the interval between the termination of histil- lies in the war as recently declared by the President and July 1, 1947. The interpretation by the Solicitor as above stated removes this doubt.
 Notices of desire to hold mining claims should be filed in the office of the U. s. Commissioner for the mining precinct within which ibe claims are located.
 In his recent letter on the above subject which was addressed to the Commissioner of Mines, Delegate Bartlett stated his intention of in- troducing in Congress at an early date a bill providing work on min ing claims during he year ending July 1. 1948. Passage of such a bill would set aside the require Imens of the law now in effect.

PORTLAND FIRM BUYS
 GYPSUM DEPOSIT IN ALASKA

JUNEAU - That the Gypsum Camel group of claims at Iyoukeen Cove on Chiehagof Island, about a miles southwest Of Juneau will soon be explored and the known deposit of gypsum or the property will be further developed by dia# mond drilling was confirmed in 2 wire received by Terutoria Com missioner of Mines, B. l. Stewart who was instrumental in negotiaf- ing the arrangements.
 An option to purchaes tho Gyp- sum-Camel claims was taken last fall by the firm of Dant & Russell. Inc, well known dealers in build ing construction materials whoss headquarters are in Portland, Ore gon. Final arrangements have been concluded in Juneau.
 A new gypsum product that has been developed recently by this company is a wallboard in the making of which there is used, be- sides gypsum, the mineral perlite, which is a volcanic glass similar tC obsidian. The combination re- putedly results in a wallboard which possesses exceptional insul- ating qualities and also is unusual ly light in weight
 The development program to be undertaken at the Gypsum-Camel properties is of much potential i'm portance, not only to Juneau, but to all Alaska, MT. Stewart said. He added that its success will mean the establishment of an ir- dustrial-mineral mining, and pos sibly a manufacturing enterprise, the products of which will assist materially in solving the building construction problems of not only the Pacific Northwest, but of AL aska itself.

imposed for petty larceny yesterday
Judge Mcmahon was informed the
40-day credit had been accrued

Kon-Tiki Raft Crew
May Sail 10 Panama

The secretary of the Kon-Tlkl
raft expedition reported yesterday
that the five Norwegians and one
Swede who compose the crew OF the
raft may return from Tahiti on the
Sagitaire, a French ship which
makes a regular run between Tahiti
and Mafseille. The men would de-
bark at Panama and come to the
United States by air, Miss Gerd
Void said
The six men now en- route from
Raroia Island, in the Tuamotu
Archipelago, to Tahiti. They are
aboard a small French naval vessel
sent out to get them by the Cover
nor General of French Oceanla
after their raft ran aground on
Raroia Reef, approximately $50
miles short of Tahiti. The raft, in
which they drifted 1850 miles from
Peru to Polynesia in 101 days, is
being towed by the vessel.
Miss Void failed in earlier at
tempts to enlist the aid of Howard

Are the Baltis States To
Be Europe's Future
Storehouse for the
Most Important
Foodstuffs?
(From The Baltic Review)

(From 1he Baltic Review
WHEN the Baltic States were oc-
cupied by the Russians in 1910. the
development of foodstuff production
was stopped, and export of agricul-
tural products to England and 9TH
er Western European countries was
cut off. 1t is also virtually certain
that SO long as the Baltic States
are occupied there will be no ex-
port from there.
If the Baltic countries had kept
their independence, they would in
very short time, have gained
practically the same Importance as
foodstuff suppliers to Western Eu-
rope as Denmark.
The proof of this lies in the tre-
mendous achievements of these var
ious countries during the reconstruc-
ton period after the First World
War, that is, during the first %
years of independence, and in this
respect it is important to bear in
mind that this period of % years
was time of experiment and study
for the new States. During those
years SO much experience was gain
ed that continuation of the new
phase in food supplies would have
beeen possible without the handicap
of earlier mistakes and disappoint-
merts. Furthermore, new advances
in the field of agricultural produc-
tioh and export would have taken
place with marked rapidity.
There are many reasons for as
Stunning considerable development in
production, and, during the last re-
maing years of independence, sy-
stematic action had been started
to carry out this project. Owing
to the fact that more than SO per
cent of the country's total area
consisted of inferior and marshy
land, which formed natural mea-
dows and was suitable for cultiva-
