pyrophyllite was top priority item

that Matthews land contains a 1000

Because of the fineness of pyroph-

the magazine to be experimenting
with it as a base for face powder and

 In concluding her letter, Sister Hilary states, "Father Gerasim is not 8 member of our Church, but we respect and revere him for what he is-a gentle. kindly priest whose sole concern is the spiritual welfare of his people and the honor and glory of God. s'.: It is most unfortunate that this rumor should rear its ugly head >again. and no doubt Father oerasim would be deeply wound. ed to know of it, but he cannot really be hurt by such unwise publicity for he holds & place in the hearts of his people too deep to be influenced by such an arti. ole. except to righteous injigpa. tion

 AlonZo Victor LeWis's son Max is to have charge of designing the base and his daughter Charmain Gross is to have the honor of un- yelling the Alaska Prospector.
 MT. Lewis's fame as an artist rests on such works as his thirteen ton World War Memorial on the Capital grounds in Olympia Six years of effort and 18 tons of clay went into its creation. It is the largest similar group in the world and is acclaimed a sa masterpiece of scultpral art. His celebrated "DoughbOy' statue stands in front of the civic auditorium in Seattle. His Lincoln statues in Tacoma oAi opohoIAC IIc Me morial in Centralia. His Ezra Meeker Pioneer monument at Puyallup, and others, too numer- ous to mention. A few years ago he was named sculptor laureate for the State of Washintgon by the State Legislature
 His one wish that he live long enough to see the Alaska Pros pector" unveiled was not fulfilled. He passed away November, 1946. Now, however, his memory will live forever along with his perm anent symbol of the Pioneer who made Alaska the great country that it is today. The unveiling of this tribute to the Alaska Sour dough can we'll be looked forward to as signal achievement and a gala day in the history of Alaska.
