The battleship Colorado's searching planes, shooting into the air at 11:30 & m., (C8T), were directed to sweep over Enderbury, Phoenix, Birnie and Sydney islands. Shore patrols from the minesweeper Swan were ordered to comb Canton, largest of the Phoenix islands, while the planes scout other possible refu- ges of Miss Eathart and Fred Noonan, navigator of her round-the-world plane, missing eight days. ‘ If these ‘searchers do not reveal trace of the missing aviators, naval officers said there was scant hope of their being found in the projected search by 62 planes from the aircraft carrier Lexington, now speeding to- ward tropic waters from Hawail. “Colorado Steams North The Colorado steamed north Satur- continued pasillel to the equator in a methodical search southward. ‘Three vessels and three planes al- ready in the search have covered an atea estimated at more than 140,000 since the aviatrix van- lowland island, July 2, on from New Guinea. ine from the Colorado in at Hull island, ie Phoenix group, asked inhabitants if heard a plane about the hart broadcast her fuel gone The could He : t i u gees es He 2 = d = i handful of whites give no help.

Poof! Smoke of black powder and prairie dust puffs skyward (lower left) as a geophysical crew sets off a miniature earthquake in the glacial drift covering the prairie by exploding dynamite.

Thi sound is relayed from the seismometer to a graphing machine that automatically photographs the sound waves and reveals to geologists the depths of the various strata and the angles or levels at which they lie. Monument to pioneer oil exploration of the Nesson valley field is this derrick of the Big Viking Oil company that drilled 4,700 feet, passed thréugh a natural gas reservoir, then suspended operations for lack of money to drill deeper.
