ML MUSEUM
COSTING II MILLION
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., June 2. j
(A3)—To stimulate interest in nauti
cal lore a unique mariners’ museum
is being constructed here at a
cost of more than a million ujI- j
lars.
Reproduction of practically ev
ery kind of ship that has uiK.ni
men down to sea will be an at
traction of this museum, which is
to cover 800 acres. It is being
built under direction of Archer
M. Huntington of New York and
California.
Workshops, laboratories, libra
ries, exhibit salons and a huge
lake will be comprised in the proj
ect.
The fish-filled lake will provide
a test basin for models of ships
built at the big nearby shipyard.
Mr. Dan McCarty, brakeman on
the Copper River Railroad, recent
ly shot a bear from the window of
a mail car of the train enroute
to Chitina, says the Chitina
Weekly.
BOUNTY INCREASED
Attention of trappers and others
is called to the fact that the boun
ty on wolves and coyotes is now
$15 for each animal. The last
legislature passed a bill repealing
the 1929 act providing for a bounty
payment of $10 for wolves and
$5 for coyotes and restoring the
$15 bounty.
Always something new for your
bridge party—ALASKA SHOP.

J DEEPEST DRILLED HOLE
■ GOES DOWN 9.646 FELT
TAFT, Calif., June 2. (/Pi—'"The
world’s deepest drilled hole” is a
j title almost as transitory as that

I a time at least it rests in the
San Joaquin valley.
The Williams No. 1 well in the
Semitropie field is down more than
19,646 feet. The bit is in hard
I j gray sand with no oil showing at
jiithat depth.
The previous drilling record was
held by Mascot No. 1 in the Mid
way field with a bottom of 9.629
feet.
SELD01 ARRIVALS WIFE
HOMESTEAD IT HOMER
Headed for Homer, where they
intend to take up homesteads, Mr.
and Mrs. Alex Mathesen, of Seattle,
and Milo Kallman, of San Fran
cisco, arrived in Seldovia recently,
says the Seldovia Herald.
!
“Neighbors and friends in and
about Seattle, and others we know
in California, are much interested
in our move northward,” said Mr.
Mathesen. “They want to come
north, too if conditions are at all
inviting, it has been discussed a
great deal and while no exact plan
has been arranged the hope is to
establish a real colony at Homer.
“Neither I or my friends enter
tain the idea of making a lot of
money; but we do hope to create
comfortable homes, drawing down
a good living and enjoy life while
we are doing it.”
