The object of tue visit was making of a general reconna of the geology ang potential min- eral deposits of the region incident to the opening of the area to pros~ pecting. In addition to the general survey ofithe region Mr. Reed vis- ited several prospects and exami several properties on which work had been:done in the past. For gurpuw» of - comparative study and to collect information on currect activities in the general region some of the mines and pros- pects at Hawk Inlet, Punter Bay, Lisianski Inlet, Port Althorp, and Berners Bay were visited. To Make Report The report of Mr. Reed’s observa- tions on economic mineral possi- bilities of 'the Glacial Bay area will of course, be made to the Director of the United States Geological Survey at, Washington, D.

(Roy, by the way, on, Compaj 1 team). ¥ irds won't be able to make 15 runs if you stay out there all winter,” he continued. “Why, we got a knuckle ball artist. . . .” “Pig knuckles!"” snorted the Chief. *“You haven't got.a ball player on your whole team.

A Great Double-Pley Ticam As a team, the Yangs are at or near the top in nearly every depart- ment of defensive play. Their field-| average is about .972. They| worked 100 double plays 103 zames. The pitching wasn't so bright from | a Yankee standpoint up to mxd-‘ season, but since then, the New York | hurling staff has improved consid- erably. As a result two of the hur- lers, Bump Hadley and Pat Ma- lone, just about tep the league, while Monte Pearson and Charley Ruffling aren’t far behind. Johnny Broaca, a disappointment in the, early months, has come around and is one of the mainstays now. The! job is being handled top-flight manner by .Old Malone; who has paid heavy dividends for Manager Joe' Mc- Carthy's faith in him, by saving games--every week. - | NOTICE: If you want to go hunt- | ing or fishing Phone 626.
