en the “green light” to conduct

Dept, of Mines E. A. participation.

POINTERS TO PROSPECTORS
Investment capital, both United
States and Canadian, is now ac
tively engaged in the search for
mineral deposits in Alaska. The
following types of deposits are of
major importance based on ^cur
rent metal prices and demand:
Copper, nickel, cobalt, asbestos,
tin, tungsten, manganese, molyb
denum and titanium.
The efforts of present-day pros
pectors should be concentrated in
the search for these types of de
posits.
Another important point to con
sider is this. When investment
capital becomes interested in a
claim or a group of claims, their
first move is to check title.
It behooves all people holding
valuable mining claims to be ab
solutely sure that their title to the
mineral contained is undisputable.
The claims must be properly
staked and annual assessment
work accomplished.
This department has printed a
brief two-page circular entitled
“Proper Claim Staking in Alaska”
which is well worth any prospec
tor’s of claim holder’s time to
read.

Hong Kong includes 147,000 fish
ermen who live on boats.

Mixed Reactions
Greet Naming of
Judge McGuire
JUNEAU, Un—News of the ap
pointment of A. T. McGuire of
Coqnecticut as district judge in
Alaska’s Second Division met with
mixed reactions in political cir
cles here Wednesday.
Democrats were openly amused,
and many Republicans expressed
disappointment at the appoint
ment of what was termed a “rank
outsider.”
Democrats said that the first
important Alaska appointment
since the governorship, one long
awaited by Republicans, went to
a man they said admittedly has
gleaned his knowledge of the ter
ritory from Coast Guard Cmdr.
Edward Chester, former aide to
ex-Governor Gruening.
Ray Beach, secretary of the
Republican Central Committee,
called the appointment “an addi
tional administration disservice
and indignity to all Alaskans as
well as the Republican Party of
Alaska.
“It seemingly indicates the ad
ministration regards Alaska as a
fertile field for liquidation of pol
itical obligations to outside Re
publicans.
“Obviously,” he said, “dollars
wooed so assiduously from Alas
kans in the 1952 campaign have
been forgotten.”

There are four other Traxcavator
profit-makers, with bucket capac
ities of V2 to 4 cubic yards, to match
the work-ability of "Caterpillar"
Diesel D2, D4, D6 and D7 Tractors,
y Geared-to-the-ground traction of a
“Caterpillar” Diesel D4 Tractor crowds
heaped loads into the bucket of a hy
draulically-operated HT4 Traxcavator
every time—and every load is a heaping
load of profit!
The team is designed and built to do
an unlimited variety of tasks at low-cost
—excavating, loading, dozing, backfill
ing and others—with maximum visibil
ity of work being done.
Engine power is converted into big
digging effort... a choice of five speeds
enables the unit to meet every ground
condition in loading, hauling or dump
ing. Hydraulic control is sure, fast and
accurate—permits controlled dumping
at any level.
You, too, can get in on these loads of
profit. Our sales engineers can tell—and
show—you how and where the team can
work for you. Call us—now!
