Snettisham district is fully war
ranted.
The Snettisham Inlet district was
one of the early gold mining areas
in the Juneau Gold Belt. The old
Crystal mine was opened by B.
Helms in 1895 and a 10-stamp mill
was operated. The property was
purchased in 1903 by the Alaska
Snettisham Gold Mining Company
which began gold mining operations
in the Inlet in 1899 and the mill
was expanded to 20 stamps. Mining
in any extent was closed in that
area in 1905.
The fact that an iron deposit
lay in the area has been known
since prospectors first went into
the district and in 1918 four or
five tons of iron ore was shipped
to the Treadwell mines on Gastin-
eau Channel and was found to car
ry up to five percent titanium,
which occurs with certain iron ores.
No extensive prospecting has been
known to be done on the ore body
until the present time.

IRON DEPOSIT in
SNETTISHAM inlet
TO Be pR0SpECTED

Further investigation of a large
iron deposit in Snettisham Inlet,
about 80 miles south of Juneau, will
be started in the spring by the
Territorial Department of Mines,
as a result off the findings in
preliminary examination of the
area last August by Howard M
Fowler, Associate Mining Engineer
with the Department, it was re-
yealed today by Leo H. Saarela,
Mines Commissioner.
The Mines office has already Or
dered geophysic equipment adapted
to the type of deposit in prepare
ton for the work planned for next
season.
s'aarela said the report on the
preliminary examination has been
taken up with the Geological Sur
vey and it is possible that agency
may also do some investigation OF
the deposit next summer.
Saarela said today there has been
inquiries for securing iron from Al
aska for japanese interests, partic-
ularly in view of the fact that di-
rect shipment could be made from
the Alaska coast to Japan.
Local owners
The property is owned by Sam
Pekovich, wellknown mining man,
who has held mining properties in
the Funter Bay and Hawk Inlet
districts for many years, and Rob-
ert Coughlin who has also been in
terested in various mines over a
long period. Both are long time
residents of Juneau.
Mr.. Pekovich said today that
Norman C. Shines. prominent min
ing man, is representing the own
ers in San Francisco in negotiating
with parties interested in the Snet-
tisham iron deposit. Shines is asso-
ciated with Pekovich in his Hawk
Inlet property and is president and
managing director of the Alaska
Empire Mining Company, operators
of the mine there.
Roughly in the Fache Cove-Sent-
incl Point vicinity in Snettisham
Inlet the magnetic area covers 70
! square miles with strong distur-
bance in an eight square mile sec
ton, Fowler's report states.
Minable Ore Bodies
The material at present exposed
is too low grade for economic min
ing the report states, but. it pointed
out, there has been insufficient
prospecting done in the area, and
bearing in mind that the mineral
lied area is unusually strong over
approximately four square miles, 1t
is possible that a thorough inves-
tigation will disclose minable ore
bodies of iron. Further, the report
comments, inasmuch as it is known
iron ore supplies on the Pacific
Coast will undoubtedly prove in
sufficient for future industrial
needs on the coast, more COM

Town Hall Opposes
Recognition as Part
OF Policy for China

A forum discussion on What
Should Be Our Policy in China?"
at Constitution Hall last night
wound up with the three partici-
pants agreeing on what our policy
shouldn't be-recogniton of the
Communist government, for the
present, at least.
To recognize the new regime
would put an "avowed5 enemy" in
stead of a friend in the United
Nations Security Council, as well
as in the Chinese Embassy, de-
clared Representative Judd, Re-
publican, of Minnesota
Backing the administration
present policy toward China, "the
traditional American policy" Rep
resentative Mansfield. Democrat.
of Montana, agreed this country
should not recognize the Com
munist regime.
The third panel member in the
Washington Town Hall discussion.
Barnett Mover. head of the Dem
yer Posts Washington Bureau,
said he didn't think the United
States Should be in any particu-
lar hurry about recognizing.
Would Aid Nationalists.
Calling for effective military
aid to the Nationalist govern
ment now entrenched on the Is
land of Formosa, Mr.. Judd de-
clared that, if Formosa is "over-
whelmed" by the Red forces, this
government will have suffered
the greatest defeat in history"
Effective aid, he said, should in
clude putting Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur in charge, with an ade-
quate American staff to train ard
advise the Chinese Nationalist
forces. This, he said, docs not
include American combat troops" :"
Unless we make a drastic re-
verSal in our policy" declared the
Minnesota Representative, shift
ing from "appeasing to opposing" !"
history can only say that 1--WE
beat Japan, but Russia won the
war in the Pacific"
Asserting that we must recog-
nize" the fact that the interior
problems must be solved by the
Chinese people themselves" Rep
resentative Mansfield cited the
incredible ineptitude" of the
Chinese Nationalist Army COM
mand as the prime reason for
their failure.
Against Abandoning People.
Mr. Mover said we should realize
that "The Nationalist government
has gone the way of the Mings
and the Manchus." However, he
said this country should not
abandon the Chinese people"
THE tragic fact is" said the
well-known Journalist, "the open
door. is closing, and the most we
can hope to do at this moment is
to keep our foot in it." He en-
phasized that he did not "see
Formosa as a foot in the door"
Both Representatives Judd and
Mansfield are members of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Moderator at last nights discus
sion was Senator Douglas, Demo-
crat, of Illinois.
