about 20 feet deep and thicker
at the bottom than at the top.
After the trench is dug. the en-
gineers cover its opening with
sernicircular metal forms over
which snow is blown by machines.
When the snow Is hardened, the
forms are removed to leave a
ceiling Of arched snow expected
to stand against any foreseeable,
pressure. The main tunnel In the
new camp will run for 966 feet
and be broad enough to permit
access by supply trucks. The SUBJ
sidiary tunnels will extend to dis
tances Of 778 feet intersecting the
main artery. The engineers have
found that it is possible to cut
q thousand feet of trench in 100
hours.
Long Ronss Use
The Elasticity inherent In ice
produces q constant degree Of
change in the tunnel formations
but these have proved to be so
minor in the frozen climate as
to present no problem. The dura-
bility and dryness Of the Green
land ice is so consistent in fact
as to make these tunnels excel
lent prospects for long-range
storage. Gasoline pumped into q
bare ice cavern and reclaimed
after seven months actually lost
some Of its moisture in the period.

Of tunnels in the ice that the en-
gineers are contemplating q rail-
road which would run under the

Camp Tuto. perched on the edge
Of the ice cap near Thule Air
Base. The tunnel could be dug
at an estimated cost Of about q
dollar a foot or $4,000 per mile
and equipped with an electric

When their icy travails are
completed, sometime in the sum-

complete facilities including heat,

ice caves hewed by the engineers.

Al Mining Makes
 Realistic Evaluation

LOS ANGELES. LR - Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company announced yesterday a re-evalu- ation of it's physical properties, reducing balance sheet assets from 7,800, ,140 to $6,570,O95.
 The "quasi-reorganization," a spokesman said, also lowered the book valuation of equipment from $11, 1,034,354 to $6OO,O0O.
 Name of the corporation was changed to Al Industries in the re-evaluation authorized at the annual meeting Wednesday.
 The spokesman explained that the company has >not liquidated any properties or equipment but has merely placed upon these "a more realistic" value than that carried on the books for holdings which have been inactive for many years.

No Panhandle to Canada; But Alaska Would Consider Land Swap - Cruening

osition with President Roosevelt, but the matter was not pursued.
 "The purpose of this deal would be to give the Alaskans land brid dge between Southeastern Alaska and Western Alaska which, in effect, they do not now have" Senator Gruening said.
 While the map shows a thin strip 0 f coastline connecting Southeastern Alaska with Western Alaska, for purposes of transpor- tation it is impossible. It consists of tremendous glaciers coming down from the St. Elias Mountains to the Pacific Coast"
 Said the Senator: q would be very glad to have this discussed and looked into by the Canadians.'
 Two British Columbia officials are expected to go to Juneau next month, when they will sample opinion on getting a corridor through the Panhandle for B. c.
 They are expected to make a report to the B. O. cabinet on their return.
 The Alaskans in Congress have made it clear they would be de- lighted to give Canada a corridor and a free port in the Alaskan Panhandle.
 But - they want to get some thing in exchange, and the key question now is whether the price for the corridor and free port is too big.

End Group of 59ers Sets Out on Long
 Trek to NOrthland

DETROIT, UP - A second group of Michigan 59ers started yester- day on the long, tough trail to Alaska.
 The caravan includes 76 persons in 10 trucks and two automobiles There are 42 children in the 19 families who plan to homestead in the Susitna Valley where an earlier Michigan group has al- ready settled.
 Unlike the first 59ers, today's group is fully aware of the hard ships to be faced on the road and in their new home In addi- ton, it has more equipment and money than did the original 59ers.
 Leader of the expedition is Frank Milazzo of Detroit.
 "We have gained by the troubles of the first 59ers last spring." Milazzo said. "We know what hurt and delayed them along the road. We've taken steps to avoid as much of their troubles as we can"
 The some 30 members of the original 59ers were beset by wea- ther and vehicle trouble en route to Alaska They arrived nearly broke to find the best land had been taken in the Kenai Peninsu- la where they had hoped to settle. They finally located in the Su- sitna Valley.
 The caravan will travel through upper Michigan, follow U. s. 2 into Montana and from there swing north to the Alcan Highway.

WASHINGTON - The Pan handle for Canada in land swap with Alaska?
 The answer is an unqualified no,' says Senator Ernest Gruen- ing.
 The scheme of 58-year-old Van couver engineer Robert F. Lyons for a deal in which Canada would get most of the Panhandle in ex- change for giving Alaska chunks of the Yukon and British Tolum- bia is unacceptable" to Alaska, Senator Gruening has said,
 However, the Senator has come up with a counter proposal which he asks Canada to consider.
 How about a deal, says Senator Gruening, in which Alaska gets 10000 square mile strip of land more or less including that DOT ton of the Alaskan Highway in Yukon Territory, which now con- meets by highway the town of Haines with Western Alaska
 In exchange for this, Senator Gruening's plan would give Can ada an equivalent amount of land in northeast Alaska running from just above the Arctic Circle to tho Rao1Ifor+ Cao
 In addition, he would like to see Canada have one or more free ports on the Alaska Panhandle, and a corridor from Canadian territory to that port.
 He also would like to see more connecting highways b ct w en towns in Alaska and Canada.

GRASSROOTS OPINION
From the Bedford, Indiana, Daily

DdIIy When you get down to cases, the continued existence and progress of every business and of the whole free enterprise system depends upon the skills knowledge wisdom and attitudes of the generation of young people being educated This is the businessman's special stake and basic for the general public interest in the Federal-aidtoeducation issue being considered in Congress.
 Permanent dependence federal support would lead inevitably to naturalization of the schools and would weaken the educational system which has de- veloped, under state and local responsibility.
