Gold Claim Staked Bv John Gibbons

A gold claim has been staked near Mission Creek in the area beyond the Kodiak Baptist Mission by John Gib- bons, local garbage contractor, and Myrna Perkins, city clerk.
 The official posting for the claim states that gold was dis covered last Aug. 20. The notice was posted on March 20, stating that gold was dls- covered in the area of Mission Creek.
 The claim is staked with four corner markers blazoned on trees and the official notice is in a tin can nailed to a tree near the road leading to the T. T. Jackson ranch. The mining laws for the Territory of Alaska state that only one discovery of mineral is required to support a plac r location. However, it must give reasonable evidence that it is valuable for such mining. When asked this week if he had found gold. Gibbons re- marked, ''If you found gold. would you tell anyone about it?"
 The claim has not yet been filed with the local U. s. Com missioner or, according to the Anchorage Times, with the and office in Anchorage.
 The Territorial laws also state: {" The locator or locators of a placer claim shall within 90 days after posting notice of location file with the recorder of the district a certificate of, location"
 In addition to posting notice and filing the person holding d placer claim must do $100 worth of labor and improve ment annually on the claim.

Wade Resigns; Lack Of
 Funds May Close Center

been offered a recreation job in Anchorage.
 Members of the board, at Tuesdays meeting, felt the center would be needed here in the summer, and expressed a desire to retain Wade on 9 half time basis. They con- sidered a tentative schedule for four evenings and two days each week.
 The center board, in an effort to raise the necessary funds to keep the recreation building open, if only part time, will ask the Rotary Club to sponsor a carnival as has been done in the past three years. The navy welfare office has also promised it's assist ance in the event of a carnival, ard has suggested July 4th as the date.
 Final decision on the future of the center will be made at a board meeting Wednesday night.
 Meanwhile, Ivor Sehott, school superintenent, told the board the school will need additional space in the fall, and indicated that use of the center for two classes and high school physical education programs would assist.
 In resigning, Wade told the board that Our decision to accept the Fairbanks position comes becauseswe feel that in recreation work it is 9 good policy for people to have a change of location every four or five years. He added that I've have been happy here and have enjoyed living in Ko- diak. However, the Fairbanks position will be in the nature of an important promotion which we can not afford to pass up if we are to stay in recreation work"
 Wade said he and Mrs. Wade hope to go outside in September so that he can a. ttend coaching school, some YMCA and square dance in- stitutes, and have a vacation before reporting to Fairbanks.

Salmon Decrease Laid To Bear

The loss of salmon. in the Karluk Lake area, due to de- preda5ion by bears is met only economically important but constitutes a serious threat to the perpetuation of the runs of red salmon pro- 1uced within the Karluk sys- 5em," according to a report i1lst uaa;sh nv Richard F. Shuman, U. s. Fish an Wild- life Service aquatic biologist.
 Shuman has been on Kodiak Island for the past several summer ;, stu y g te salmon runs and causes of their de- cease, and his report, entitled Bear depredations on red sal mon spawning populations in the Karluk River System, 1947," has just been finished.
 Observers of salmon migra- tions have long been aware that the depredations of feed ing bear result in large losses each year, Shuman reports, and have realized that "this loss is great enough to be of considerable economic import ance."
 When the condition of the salmon runs is considered, it becomes evident that immedi- ate contlo ol of the bear popula- tion is urgently needed" he states.
 Reviewing the history of the Karluk runs, Shuman points out that since the run is de- creased to some extent by commercial fishing, it's fur ther decrease by bear becomes more important.
 "As the fish decrease in number, depredations become more significant as the preda- tors will take an increasingly higher percentage of the escapement each year." :" he writes. "The loss of a given number of spawners is rela- lively unimportant when the escapements are numbered in millions; the same loss can be alarming when the escape ments are as low as they have been in recent years.
 Pointing out that over 31 percent of the fish which en- tered Moraine Creek, a feeder creek into Karluk Lake, were killed by bear before spawn ing, Shuman said that when this percentage is applied to all of the fish which entered the tributary streams, it can be stated that during the 1947 season at Karluk the minimum loss in unspawned .ish was 94, ,119."
 He estimates the commer- cial value of the loss at $117,- o49, and points out that the killing of bear in the same area by sportsmen brought to the territory only $9, 900, leav- ing a net loss-of $1O9, 649.

USE FOIL TO HELP REDUCE
WORK OF WASHING BRoILER

If you avoid using the broiler
on your range because it is too
hard to clean, Alma Garvin, ex-
tension foods specialist at Ohio
State University has tip for you.
Aluminium foil or parchment
used on the bottom of your broil-
ing pan can be whisk off in a
second and much cleaning
time saved.
If these materials are not used,
Miss Garvin suggests soaking the
broiler pan in hot water as soon
as you finish with it. When it is
cleaned, she adds, Don't put it
back in the oven until you're going
to use it because bits of food and
grease will drop on it = to smoke
the next time you use the oven."
