Ancient City Site
Found in Canada
OTTAWA, Ont., UP)—Canadian
officials reported Friday the find
ing of an ancient “Grand Central
Station of the North," a point
where many groups of people
stopped in migrations centuries
ago.
The site is on the Firth River in
Yukon Territory a few miles from
the northeasternmost section of
Alaska.
Dr. Richard S. MacNeish, chief
archeologist of the National Mu
seum, said 8,000 impliments and
other articles give indications of
nine different civilizations—four
of them not previously known to
have existed in the North.
Many of the articles resemble
others found in eastern Asia, add
ing weight to the theory that mi
grants across the Bering Strait
first settled North America. The
implements will undergo radio
activity (Carbon 14) tests in an
effort to fix. their age.
Former Alaskan Ship
May Be Used Again
For Tropical Cruises
LOS ANGELES, Uft—Las Vegas
money may get the ill-starred
steamship Mazatlan out of dry
dock under a plan being consid
ered here.
B. L. Harmon, part owner of
Las Vegas gambling clubs, has
proposed his Southern Nevada De
velopment Co. help refinance the
ship and put her on the high seas
again. The steamer is now in a
San Pedro drydock in the custody
of the U.S. marshal.
Last summer the Mazatlan set
out from San Diego on what prom
ised to be a gala cruise to Acapul
co, but someone forgot that the
ship had plied northern waters
for 30 years as the SS Alaska—the
staterooms had been built around
the boilers for warmth.
Passengers sweltered and many
slept on deck.
Jary Taylor, attorney for Har
mon, said the Nevada man was
ready to supply money to reorgan
ize the ship concern, pending ap
proval of the creditors and the
court. The plan is expected to be
presented in federal court soon.
About $100,000 will be used to
refurbish the ship, including the
air conditioning needed for tropi
cal cruising. “Our present plan is
to ship out of San Diego for Aca
pulco and Mazatlan,” Taylor said.
