B.C. Prospectors Doing
Heaviest Business Since
Gold Strikes of 1935
VANCOUVER, B.C., UPt—Pros
pectors in British Columbia are
swamping mines registry offices
with the heaviest business since
the Bridge River and Cariboo gold
strikes of 1935.
While much attention is cen
tered on the copper-rich areas in
the Kamloops district 250 miles
northeast of here, increasing ac
tivity is reported in the Omineca
and Atlin districts, in the north
ern half of the province.
Meanwhile, the government re
ports that British Columbia’s
mines and smelters chalked up a
record production in 1955 and that
base metals and structural miner
als play the chief roles, to make
mining second only to forestry in
the province’s economy. The ac
cent is on copper, lead, zinc, as
bestos, iron ore, tungsten and sul
phur. B.C. is the prime Canadian
source of lead, tungsten, tin, zinc,
antimony, bismuth and cadmium.
It produced about 18 percent of
Canada’s total mineral production.
Alaska's Per Capita
Average of Planes
17 Times National
By DON GRETZER
Office of Aviaiion Safely of CAA
Alaska has seventeen times as
many airplanes per capita as .the
national average, and five times
the ratio of the top ranking state.
According to a Department of
Commerce publication, “U.S. Act
ive Civil Aircraft by State and
County,” Alaska had a total of
854 active aircraft on January 1,
1955, compared with a population
of 128,643 (1950 census).
There are 150 persons per air
plane in Alaska, compared with
the national average of 2601 per
sons per airplane and Nevada, the
top slate, of 556 persons per air
plane.
The Department of Commerce
publication also ranks states ac-1
cording to “straight numerical
magnitude,” in which California
comes out on top with 6,311 air
planes, followed in order by Tex
as, Illinois, New York and Ohio,
for the first five. Alaska ranks
number 22 in this list if it is
“inserted” as a state. The publi
cation does not make this inser
tion but gives the data separately
for Alaska.
Where rank is given in “popu
lation per aircraft,” Alaska jumps
to first place, California drops to
fifteenth and New York down to
42nd.
While six counties out of ap
proximately 2600 have more per
sons that the Alaskan average,
they need be very little chagrin,
as some of our areas larger than
“county” size would show as high
a ratio as 10 to 20 persons per
airplane.
We have noticed for some time
that the safety problems in air
plane operations in Alaska have
many comparative features with
the five ranking states in airplane
utilization per population. Minor
accident rates are high in these
areas because the advantage or
necessity of the airplane requires
it to be used in and out of im
provised landing strips. Show-off
type accidents are more rare be
cause the airplane is used for
definite purposes. Where “every
body” flies, there is no point in
showing off that a person can
fly

U.S. Expells Two
Russian Delegates
To UN in New York
WASHINGTON, 1.4PI — The
United States has expelled two
Russian diplomats at the United
Nations on the ground they ex
ceeded their authority in helping
five seamen leave U.S. sanctuary
19 days ago.
The State Department late Wed
nesday handed a protesting So
viet ambassador Georgi Zarubin
a note ordering out of this coun
try Aleksandr K. Guryanov and
Nikolai Turkin, members of the
Russian United Nations delega
tion. The note also criticized the
head of the delegation, Arkady
Sobolev.
The note said Guryanov and
Turkin were guilty of “exceeding
the scope of their official capa
city” as members of the Soviet
U.N. delegation’s staff.
Under the U. N. headquarters
i agreement, the United States re
serves the right to take action
against any foreign official ac
credited to his government’s U.N.
delegation in New York City who
engages in “activities outside of
his official capacity.”
While the U. S. note chided
Sobolev, it did not demand his
recall. It went no further than
to request Moscow to tell Sobolev
and his staff to mind their U.N.
business henceforth.
Officials said Guryanov and
Turkin were guilty of improper
action because their U.N. status
did not permit them to go to the
Idlewild Airport, as they did with
the seamen, and shepherd them
through an immigration hearing
as they left the country. If per
formed by a duly accredited con
sular official, such things are all
right.
