Chamber Hears About
Scientific Studies
In Chukchi Sea
William Dawson, biologist from
Harvard on the MS Brown Bear
of the University of Washington,
reported at the Chamber of Com
mrece luncheon on the successful
trip which the vessel has just
completed in the Chukchi Sea.
He showed the intense studies
made during the month by geol
ogists studying the ocean floor,
biologists studying and collecting
specimens of the animal and plant
life, and oceanographers studying
the water temperature and flow
of the sea.
One study of particular interest
was the 10,000 bottles tossed over
board with reward offered for
their return to see which way
the current flows. It is believed
by some scientists that the polar
waters flow through the straits j
south and the Chukchi water
flows north. To date 40 bottles
have been recovered. The results
of this study will help the Proj
ect Chariot determine where the
surface debris from the nuclear
blast will go.
Biologist Dawson also told
about the Brown University ar
cheologists who are studying the
beaches in the area of Cape Kru
zenstern to determine ages of the
buried villages. Dating each layer
at about 60 years they have al
ready uncovered 100 fossil stratas
or a period of 6,000 years.
Suit Filed Against Hungerfords
In State Superior suit has been
filed against Don and Charlotte
Hungerford to recover money
paid on a promissory note. The
plaintiffs are Fred Cavota, Larry
Galvin, M. B. Young and J. R.
Miller.

Federal Slump
Required By
Duck Hunters
James W. Brook, chief of the
Division of Game, Alaska Depart
ment of Fish and Game, reminded
all migratory bird hunters 16
years of age or older that they
are required to carry a validated
Federal Migratory Bird Hunting
Stamp as well as an Alaska state
hunting license, when hunting
ducks, geese, brant, coot or .iack
snipe. The waterfowl season
opens throughout Alaska tomor
row, Sept. 1.
A1 Bloomquist, Licensing Super
visor for the Department, re
ported that many people are send
ing money for these stamps to the
Department of Fish and Game of
fice, rather than purchasing them
at post offices. This is creating
quite a problem in his office,
Bloomquist said, as all the money
must be returned to the senders.
Only post offices are authorized
to sell the ‘Duck Stamps.’ These
stamps cost three dollars each and
must be validated by the hunter
after purchase, by signing his or
her name in ink across the face
of the stamp.

I Burand Relates Copper
Exploration Proceding
In Kobuk Region
Bill Burand, District Mining
i Engineer, has returned from the
Kobuk where he visited the Bear
Creek Mining Co. workings which
are in their third year of ex
ploration. At present they are
using five diamond drills which
go 3,000 feet into the copper de
posits with several million tons
already blocked out.
Burand said that this sounds
like a lot but much more will
have to be blocked out to make
a mine and mill venture possible
as it involves 30 to 40 million
dollars of investment before there
can be production.
