YACKSON SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, F‘eb P o An American-Canadian company's ittempt to fly men and equipment over the jungles of New Guinea to work a remote gold deposit has prov- ed so successful that the stockhold- ers have voted to spend $2,000,000 |lo enlarge operations. The action was taken by Bulolo Gold Dredging, Ltd., at its head of- fice in Vancouver, B .C., following reports showing that for the twelve months ending May 31, 1835, the 'company made a clear profit of $3,368,997. Thus was fulfilled the ‘wild dream’ of C, J. Levien, an Australian gov- ernment surveyor, who backed the first aerial gold mine development with his own funds in 1924. He died n 1930.

The Mayor ordered all city departments to arrange deputization of all per- sons needed to provide building service as required by health and safety standards. When he took action the only buildings in which a walkout had not been ordered were the skyscrap- ers in the financial district. Elevator men and janitors are out in most places. i Some apartment houses got the men back to work by promising two doliars a week wage increase, a clos- » ed shop and a 48-hour week. | GAY THRONG AT 2] RAINBOW CRLS' once with the possibility that air- planes, heretofore,used only on pros- | pecting trips. and sparingly, might 5‘;0‘“5}] be the means: of opening up. the new ! field.

The choice is difficult because the most available man within the party for the job is Mr. Roosevelt himself.
