Zinc Found
On Sedanka
A Geological Survey party
beaded by George O. Gates,
supervisor of the U S. Geologi
cal Survey work in the Alaska
railroad belt has recently return
ed from the Aleutian islands
with samples and information
from a zinc deposit there. Ac
companying Gates were John E.
Ryan and Simeon Oliver, both
of Anchorage.
The prospect on Sedanka is
land adjacent to Unalaska is
favorably sii uated with respect
to a good harbor about 25 miles
by boat from Dutch Harbor, it
was reported.
Owners of the prospect are
Fred H. Johnstone of Unalaska
and W. C. Brown of Seattle.
Brown was formerly U. S. Mar
shal of the Aleutian island dis
trict.
Sphalerite (zinc sulphide) is
the principal ore mineral found,”
Gates said. ‘ Small amounts of
lead (galena) and copper (chal
copyrite) are also present. Al
though overburden prevented
determining the full extent of
the deposit, some of the ore un
covered was of a good grade.”
On his return to Washington,
D. C., Gates said a report on
the prospect with maps will be
prepared for distribution.
Information not generally
known on other metal prospects
in the Aleutians was reported
by residents of Unalaska and
other places, Gates said.
Infant Gerald Nelson, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson of Afog
nak, was admitted to the GM
hospital this week for surgery.

Gl Plans To
Stay In Isles
While most of his buddies talk
about their return to the States
to stay and when they will see
the last of the islands. Private
Parker is of the opinion that this
island has definite post-war pos
sibilities, and plans to return
some time.
Unlike almost all GI’s, when
Parker arrived at this forward
Aleutian Island it was not his
first visit. For in the summer of
1930, accompanied by his wife,
Parker sailed a 28-foot boat
named “Princess Ann” into this
harbor and took refuge in an old
trapper’s cabin that became
their home on the island.
Having six months supply of
provisions, which, incidentally,
included American liquor, the
Parkers proceeded to set out
traps and settle down to a per
iod of collecting fur bearing ani
mals.
During this time Parker and
his wife became acquainted with
the Japs on the island, as the
American liquor and cigarettes
they possessed and distributed
made their cabin a natural meet
ing place. Parker recalls that he
thought the Japs rather “shifty”
even in those times, and he par
ticularly recalls that their saki
was vile tasting, comparable to
wood alcohol.
This trapping enterprise prov
ed highly successful as the Park
ers returned to the States after
the six months period, and their
net profit was enough to allow
them to take things easy for
quite a while
The financial success of such a
trapping trip is the magnet
which will draw Parker back to
this island after the war, and the
reason lie is recommending that
l his buddies do likewise.
Ephen Alpack, Afognak, was
admitted to the GM hospital
this week.
In New Guinea
Max Peabody, former local
taxi driver, is now in the Army
and is stationed overseas at pre
sent in New Guinea, according
to word received here.
Jean Peabody, his wife, w'hc
formerly worked at the is and
fountain, is making her home in
Portland, Ore.
