State Conducting Hearings
On Regulations Affecting
Mining Rights

The state of Alaska is at the
present time conducting hearings
on regulations affecting state
mining rights which began in
Ketchikan last Monday. A meet
ing was held in Juneau Nov. 8;
in Fairbanks today, in Nome on
Wednesday, and will conclude at
Anchorage on Friday.
Under provisions of the State
hood Act the State in 1859 began
selecting lands from the Federal
domain, and to date has applied
for over 100000 acres which in
cludes some potentially valuable
mineral lands. Minerals prior to
statehood were generally owned
by the Federal government and
mineral claims were subject to
Federal regulation. Federal regu
lations will continue on the fed
orally owned lands.
The proposed state regulations
provide for handbook and placer
mineral claims and mining leases.
The mining leases will be used
where there are two or more
potential uses of the land in ques-
ton. The leases serve as a means
of achieving the multiple-use OBJ
jective set forth in Alaska's State
Constitution.
The Division of Lands which is
conducting the hearing in coop
Grafton with the States Division
of Mines and Minerals urges oral
and written comment by all MEM
bers of the industry and the
general public in Alaska.
Past experience has shown that
public hearings are of tremendous
value in preparing regulations
for the disposal and utilization of
Alaska's natural resources. Mr..
Phil R. Holdsworth, Commits
sioner of the Department of Nat
ural Resources, urges careful
study and participation by those
groups and individuals that have
valuable and excellent experience
in this critical field.

St. Lawrence Fish
Indicate Former
Land Bridge

VANCOUVER, BIC, ga Uni
versity of British Columbia pro-
fessor says he believes he has
found additional evidence that
there once was a land bridge
between Alaska and Russia.
DR.. Casimer c. Lindsey, cura-
tor of the Museum of Fish at the
University, said in an interview
Friday he collected three species
of fish on ST. Lawrence Island, 40
miles off the Siberian coast, that
could have only been found there
if a land bridge existed.
at would seem the only way
they could have got on the island
was during the last ice age when
the ocean sank and the land
bridge was exposed"
He said he found the fish on
the lakes and rivers of the island
and said large shelf, now 200
feet beneath the surface of the
sea could have been exposed after
the ice age.
DR.. Lindsey visited the island
this summer as part of project
to determine the distribution of
fresh water fish in North Am
erica.
species of plants and birds
had been collected on st. Law
renee Island which are the, same
as those in both Siberia and AL
aska," he said. "But no one col
lected fish there before"
The species found were the
Alaskan black fish, Shiny sculpin
and grayling. The last two do not
occur in salt water.

Five Rescued from Plane Crash On Nevada Mountain

ELY, New, R Strong winds, heavy snow and ice smacked down a light airplane onto the slope of a snoW-covered north eastern Nevada mountain, but all five aboard survived and were rescued yesterday after more than two days of sub-zero temperature weather.
 An Air Force helicopter car ried the five members of the same family from the mountain to warmth, safety and medical care in Ely.
 The conditions - cold, blowing snow and high altitude (about 1000 feet)-were extremely haZ- ardous for the operation of heli- copter.
 Here's how Wes Stoddard, 50- year-old bush pilot from Anchor age, tells it:
 'We had taken off Sunday in good weather, and as we were flying along we suddenly were weathered in = I mean, really weathered. My wife saw a few trees in front of us as we were moving along on instruments"
 The small, twin engine Piper Apache stayed upright as it sliced into the snow, but the sudden de- celeration threw Stoddard against the windshield and knocked out some of his teeth. It hurt his back too, as did his wife. The other three persons were less ser iously hurt.
 Six-year-old Randy Cumbie was quite excited about the whole thing. He had birthday party in the disabled plane atop the moun- tain Monday. His present was a sweater which could not have been more appropriate. Tempera- lures dropped to Is below zero.

Alaska Ferry Authority Depends On Congress

JUNEAU, R - Legislation ap- proved unanimously by the Sen ate yesterday could lead to ere ation of an Alaska Ferry System Authority.
 The bill was changed somewhat before being passed and sent to the House. As it now stands, it makes creation of the authority contingent on the availability of federal funds.
 The question of federal money for the project, 13 million dollars in all, is under study in Congress. Spokesman for the state confer red with congressman and other federal officials recently, and it was said then the state would seek federal aid highway money for the project
 The bill would leave two courses of action open to the gov ernor in the event funds for a ferry system are approved. He could start the proposed author ity, semi autonomous, inde- pendent state agency, or he could authorize the State Department of Public Works to take over the system.
 The upper chamber unanimous ly passed bill calling for pay ment of time and half to gov- ernment workers for overtime after the regular 3712 work week. In the past, overtime work has been compensated by equal time off

ARR Manager Terms Nonsense Accounting Charge

WASHINGTON, R - General manager Robert Anderson of the Alaska Railroad yesterday de- scribed as bookkeeping non- sense" an accusation by the Gen. eral Accounting Office that the road distorted financial state ments to show it operated at a profit instead of a loss.
 The GAO filed a report with Congress yesterday saying the railroad materially distorted" it's financial statement for the past two fiscal years.
 Anderson said in a statement Ca sieable portion of the GAO's criticism hinges on arguments be- tween bookkeepers on how to fig ure depreciation rates. They now criticize our bookkeeping rules which they earlier approved. I am quite willing to submit our re- ports to the press and the public
 ''The GAO says our surplus of S452,800 for 1858 and 1859 was in- stead loss of $1,807,600. This is bookkeeping nonsense.
 Congress has always maintain ed the railroad should operate within its income.
 ''If Congress now, however, chooses to accept the GAO system of figuring, then the imposition of the GAO system must necessarily mean that the railroad must seek new avenues of revenue. The only way that can be done is to raise rates, which means very sustan- tial increase in the charges we make to the people of Alaska who use the railroad"

 Zorin told a news conference. that under the Soviet plan, all stages of disarmament would be supervised by an international control organization and an in- spection system. In previous dis armament negotiations, however, Soviet and Western ideas of an adequate control system have been far apart.
 In the second stage of the So- viet plan, said Zorin, all armed forces would be disbanded and all foreign bases would be liquidated. This could be completed within two years after the first stage, he said.
 In the third stage all types of nuclear weapons would be de- strOyed,
