Saucer Report Released Pilot Spots Small, Metallic Disk Over Northern Japan
By WILLIAM C. BARNARD

US. Air Base, Northern Japan, R-The US. Air Force Tuesday night reported a small, metallic, disc-shaped object made a con- trolled, sweeping pass at an Am erican jet fighter-bomber and was observed at very close range by another pilot.
 The report, from Air Force in telligence files, said the sighting was made over northern Japan at 11:2O a.m., March 29, 1852, by It. David C. Brigham of Rockford, Illinois.
 It was a bright, cloudless day. Brigham said he got very good look at the object from about 30 to 50 feet for about 10 seconds.
 The pilot described it as about eight inches in diameter, very thin, round, and shiny as polished chromium, had no apparent pro- jections and left no exhaust trails or vapor trails"
 He said it caught up with an F-84 Thunderjet, lowered a few moments and then shot out of sight. The F-84 pilot, whose name was not revealed, did not see it.
 It was the second disclosure in a week by Air Force intelligence of mysterious flying objects over northern Japan near the Russian Siberian area.

AUTHORITY PREDICTS GOLD PRICE HIKE TO $52.50 PER OF. IN 1853
(The Alaska Weekly


 NEW YORK - The price of gold will advance to $5250 an ounce in 1853, is the prediction of pr. Franz Pick, publisher of Pick s World Currency Reports, publi- cation used as reference on eco- homie, monetary and gold matters by governments, banks and other financial institutions.
 Dr. Picks prediction was made in Toronto recently at a meeting of the Prospectors and Developers Association. He is recognized authority in his field.
 Dr. Pick could not say exactly when the gold price advance would come, but he said a change in general policy of western na- tions would take place in six weeks, and added that "the end of the road has been reached nearly everywhere" and the "economic storm flags are up."

Sourdough of Kotzebue And Flat Takes First
 Trip Out" Since 1925

SEATTLE, R - Times have changed since '98 for Joe Mitchell, an old Alaska sourdough, and since 1925, too.
 Visiting here with a former neighbor at Flat, Mrs. Jess Blake well, the 73 year old veteran prospector reminisced how he and three companions arrived on Kot zebue Sound in a schooner in '98.
 We heard there was gold, and that was enough to keep me there," he said.
 Years of prospecting and mining and putting "all the money we made" back in more mining equipment followed and then in 1925 he made a trip "outside," :" the last until this year.
 1t took me 45 days then to go from Flat to Fairbanks by dog sled, a distance of about 400 miles, he unused.
 The elderly bachelor will return north some time next month to where "There's moose and ducks, land for prospecting and I've got a boat and house"
 II never would have come out this time if it hadn't been for the airplane," he said.

Br-r-r nm It's REALLY Cold in Fairbanks

FAIRBANKS, R - Fairbanks had it's coldest day of the winter Monday as the mercury plunged to 54 below zero, but the weather man said it was unlikely the cur rent cold snap would set any new records.
 The lowest ever recorded here was 66 below.
 That figure of 66 below was the exact reading, however, Monday at Fort Yukon, 100 miles to the north. And at Dunbar, 30 miles west of here, it got down to 68 below.
 A high of 45 below and low of 49 were reported in the 24-hour period ending 4:3O am. Tuesday.
