EAKIN HERE TO EXAMINE MINE ATFUNTERBAY Huronian Belt Company Representative to Spend Weeks Making . Study M. Eakin, geolo and civil engineer, repre senting the Huronian Belt Com pany of Ontario, arrived Sunday from his home in Sedro Woolley Wash., to make an extensive ex amination of the Admiralty Alas- ka Gold Mining property at Fun ter Bay. He left late this after- noon for the mine. It will take two or three months to complete his study, Mr. Eakin said today. There are 135 claims held by the company and both general and detailed geologic studies will be made. Formerly with the logical Survey, Mr. Eak'n has made several studies of the ge- ology of several Southeastorn Al aska areas. Twenty-one years ago he burned coal in Kootzna hoo Inlet that is now being mined by the Admiralty Island Coal Company. This is the fourteenth trip he has made to Alaska. His last trip was made here in 1921 with the late Dr. Alfred E Brooks, then Chief Alaskan CGe ologist. At that time he made some geologic investigations in the Alaska Juneau mine. Prior to that time he had studied and reported on the geology of the Juneau gold belt, the Porcupine district and the region around Funter Bay and Hawk Inle About 12 years ago he spent tw weeks making a general study of the geology on the properties that are now to be examined by him. “Practical aid by scientists and engineers is one of the biggest needs of Alaska, or any mining country for that matter,” de- clared Mr. Bakin in discussing the general mining situation. “One of the best ways to promote mineral development in the Ter- ritory would be to have an of cial geologist-engineer of the Ge logical Survey or Bureau of Mines to whom prospectors could send for analysis samples of rock with a general description of the lo- cality in which it is found. Such an official could then make a brief personal examination of the prospect if in his judgment it was warranted This would be sufficient for him to advise the prospector if further expenditure of time, labor and money were desirable. In this manner good prospects could be developed and efficient prospectors saved from wasting their time and work on poor ones from which there is little or no hope of returns.” GEORGE B. GRIGSBY | VISITING IN JUNEAU George B. Grigsby, prominent Ketchikan attorney, and candidate | on the Democratic ticket tor Dele gate to Congress, arrived in Ju- neau yesterday morning on the Admiral Evans, and will be here for several days in connection with a case in the U. S. District Court. Mr. Grigsby represents the defendant in an admiralty case arising from the wreck of the boat Monroe near Sitka, after which the owners of the Monroe libeled the motorboat Gladstone, which they claimed was respon- sible for the wreck. —_————- Fada Radio Sets and accessor- fes, Columbia Phonographs and records.

BOARD AGREES ONALLOTMENT Recommends Division of Three Companies Be- tween Coast, Interior Recommendations for the for- mation of the 549th Infantry Bat talion, Organized Reserves, allo- cated to Alaska by the War De partment, were adopted here last Saturday at a meeting of an offi- cial board composed of Capt. H. J. Brooks, Seventh Infantry, sta- tioned at Chilkoot Barracks, and Lieuts. F. A. Metcalf and M. H Sides, Officers Reserve Corps. The recommendations will be sub- mitted at once by the board to the Commanding General of the Ninth Corps Area. Three rifle companies and one machine gun outfit make up a battalion of the organized re serves. The commissioned per- sonnel is identical with that of a battalion of the regular Army at war strength, 25 or 26 officers. The enlisted strength is fixed by War Department regulation from time to time. The board recommended headquarters of the battalion be established here owing to its proximity to Chilkoot Barracks, the only regular army post in that OF BATTALION the Territory, Other recommen- dations included allotment of rifle companies to both coastal and ju- terior Alaska and a division of the' machine gun outfit, which is made up of two platoons, between western and southeastern Alaska communities.
