REAL PIONEER SPIRIT . . .
Mr. and Mrs. William Cameron
exemplify the real pioneering
spirit when they make their an
nual trek to the Casa de Paga
to do their assessment work on
their mining claims. Some years
they travel by car and boat, some
time they fly part of the way and
this year they made the trip with
their trusty weasel, over hill and
over niggerheads. Due to the rains
the rivers are high, they report,
so the trip was made over high
country.

“Hauling Direct from the Springs”
Discoveries Indicate
Antarctica Is Divided
In Two Land Masses
HONOLULU Iff) — France’s
leading explorer says recent dis
coveries in Antarctica indicate
the vast frozen area is divided
into two distinct land massess.
Dr. Paul-Emile Victor, a dele
gate to the 10th Pacific Science
Congress, said scientists have dis
covered a tremendous channel be
tween the Ross Sea and Amundson
Sea.
Scientists previously believed
the Ross ice shelf and the Wed
dell Sea were linked by an under
sea channel. “We now know this
is not so, but a great channel con
nects the Ross and Amundson
Seas,” Victor said, “soundings at
certain places show 7,500 feet be
low sea level.”
Victor and 1,500 other scientists
from as far away as Finland
worked into their third day of
the Congress, studying scientific
