OF 

The Chamber of Commerce Board Members and other inter- ested individuals met at the resi- dence of A. Polet Friday evening, with President Harper presiding.
 o. A. Margraf, Dave Russell, and Dan Jones were present and spoke regarding the need of ex- tending the Snake River road to cross Stewart Creek, up Silver Creek, to Sinuk River, in the gen. eral direction of Teller. This area is rich in minerals and if accessi- ble by road would provide many mining possibilities. Part of the area has been prospected by Mar graf and Russell, assisted by Dan Jones, mining engineer and as- saver for Territorial department of Mines.
 BiSmuth has been found in suf- ficient quantities for commercial use. Jones spoke of the need of the road and the many potentialities for development once the area be- comes accessible.
 The matter was thoroughly dis cussed by those present and it was decided that a written request be sent to the Alaska Road Commis- sion urging further action taken on this road project.
 A request was read received from Solomon asking that the Nome Chamber endorse a propOS- al to have an air strip constructed adjacent to Solomon. The matter was discussed and a committee will investigate the matter prior to any further action being taken.
 A telegram received by A. Polet through the Alaska Development Board was presented which stated the need of investigating the CAB'c action to eliminate or reduce all scheduled carriers operating from States to Alaska leaving only two certified carriers which can not handle the large volume of freight to be hauled.
 All present unanimously voted to uphold Alaska Development Boards action regarding having this matter thoroughly invest.gat- ed.
 The need of a new Chamber of Commerce pamphlet was discuss ed with suggestions offered as to a new and different type larger in size and more pictures which a committee will be appointed to work on.
 IL was decided to hold a general meeting on the evening of Septem- Der 27th in the Pioneer Hall at which time all interested citizens are urged to attend.
 Following adjournment of the meeting refreshments were served by Emily Boucher.

CAIRO, April 9.--The wife of a
temple scribe who lived $500 years
ago was buried with a heart of
gold. archeologists discovered to-
day.
The golden heart was found
when they unwrapped the
mummy, believed to be that of
Mans Basis, the wife of the scribe
of Memphis whose tomb was dis
covered last month.
Nans-Basts' mummy was found
with nine others. deep in the tombs
at Sakkara. about IS miles south
of Cairo. The entrance was dis
covered by Add Essalam, young
Egyptian architect. while making
a study of pyramids. The open
ing to the tombs, 100 feet below
the ground. is near the famous
step pyramid which rises like a
sentinel over the ancient ceme-
terry Of Memphis, once Egypt's
capital.
Five coffns were opened yes
terday. DR.. Drioton began un-
wrapping and making a more
careful examination OF them to-
day.
Under the custom of the era. the
heart and other vital organs were
removed from the body before
burial. These organs were placed
in jar and placed in the tomb
with the coffin.

human heart. Its weight and
value were not madek nown i'm

DIR. Drioton first found IL statu-
cites of blue glazed pottery which
are replica's of deities to preserve

Alongside the scribe and his
wife was found the mummy OF
