NEW ALASKA
GOLD MINE
. DUE TO OPEN
FAIRBANKS—The Hogatza
<Hog> River fountry 250 miles
northwest of here may be giving
up its first gold by the end of the
1956 mining season.
A seven-man crew of veteran
Alaska miners already is heading
into the area to commence prelim
inary operations for the United
States Smelting, Refining and
Mining Company.
Company officials say they hope
at least to begin test dredging op
erations by August and that they
are certain to be in production
within two years.
The big job ahead is hauling
I, 200 tons of dismanteled dredge
overland to the mine site from
the Hog River landing. Some 20
miles of road was built last sum
mer, and the dredge was taken up
the Chena, Tanana, Yukon and
Koyukuk Rivers to the Hogatza
tributary.
J. C. Boswell, manager of the
Fairbanks office of the mining
firm, says the crew will begin re
assembling the dredge as soon as
it is brought to the mine site.
When the dredge does go into
operation, he said, it will mean
seasonal jobs for at least 15 Indi
an workers, principally from the
villages of Hughes and Huslia.
In the advance crew are Ralph
Norris, general superintendent of
the operation, Carl Johnson, John
Dalton, Ansgar Clausen, Ed Snow,
J. R. Johnson, Ralph Harlan, and
Malachi Donoghue.

are drawn on the record of his
(Eisenhower’s) administration for
which he must now at least take
full responsibility.”
In Kansas City, former Presi
dent Harry S. Truman said Eisen
hower’s decision to seek a second
term will mean no change in his
party’s plans. Truman said:
"We can beat anybody.”
Former President Herbert Hoov
er said he was glad Eisenhower
had decided to run again and add
ed, “I am sure the majority of
American people are grateful for
his declaration.”
Sen. William F. Knowland of
California, who had been prepar
ing to make his own bid for the
GOP nomination if Eisenhower
did not run, predicted that Eisen
hower will be renominated by ac
clamation at the San Francisco
Convention.

Dies, Bequeaths Eyes
To Two Blind Children
MILANO, Italy, (0)—Italy’s
“Priest of the Maimed,’’ died to
day and one of his eyes was trans
planted to a 12-year-old protege.
The 54-vear-old priest, Father

life after World War II to rehab
ilitation of children crippled in
the conflict.

requesting that his eyes be used
to save the sight of maimed chil
dren.
Surgeons said the first trans
plant operation was performed
successfully on Angelo Colagran
de, eighth child of a poor farm
family. The other eye will go" to
an 18-year-old blind girl.

tune of 55 to 52. The Jets blasted

to the final whistle. Parris worked
the backboards with the able help
