LITTLE PEP IS SHOWNBY TEAMS AT CASABA MEET The ‘future looked dark Tuesday for the City Basketball League when only two teams, the Firemen and the DeMolays showed up at a meet- ing at the High School. At present, only four teams are definitely in the league, the Fire- men, DeMolays, the Haida and the High School. Officials of the League warn that if players and teams expecting the tournament do not show a spark of enthusiasm shortly there will be no league this year. Players are asked to get in touch with President Jack Fowler at the Bergnlann Hotel, or white to Box 957. At a future meeting, playing schedules and = practice schedules will be drawn up. JUNEAU MINING MAN BACK FROM COODNEWS AREA Art Thane, representative for the International Nickel Co., returned to Juneau on the Yukon after 10 days spent in the Goodneys Bay mining region. “The country looks good and the next few years will see a lot of de- velopment there,’ said Thane. “The big future lies in gold, however, rather than in platinum.” While in the section, Thane saw Joe Hill, Juneau man who is pros- pecting there, and reports that Hill has put down a lot of woles and covered a lot of ground with some fairly good results. o A story came out of Goodnews Bay recently, about prospectors get- ting swamped with proposals from women who think the region one of runnning wealth, but' Thane, who has been getting the blame for the story, says he had nothing to do with it. 7 Lapwing Is Due This_Aflemunn ‘The mine sweeper Lapwing, ten- der at the Sitka Air Base, is due in Juneau during this afternoon for fuel, oil and water, according to advices received by Simpson Mac- Kinnon. ‘The Lapwing has been at the Sitkd base for several weeks and will remain there until another N.

George McKnight and Butch Fortunato. McKnight has’ plenty of experience and if hell only learn not to gamble at the wrong time, he may do. He is a fair blocker and passer—no Palau —but fair.

Wurts, 21-year-old soldier from Chilkoot Barracks, who has been lost on the Duffield Peninsula since October 21. As a result of the discovery, of- ficers who have been searching for Waurts for the past several days to- day announced their belief that he has been rescued by a fishing boat since the fire was discovered near the shore. No word would have been received yet in the event of such discovery, since the nearest radio siation is at Sitka, many miles dis- tant from where the camp fire was found. Six soldlers are continuing the search on Duffield Peninsul® The Fornance, Chilkoot Barracks ten- der, which left Juneau ior Haines this morning, is expected to return to Duffield Peninsula tomorrow with additional men to aid in the search. Private Wurts, accompanied by Corporal Albert McGilbra, left other members of a small Chilkoot hunt- ing party on October 21 to take a short walk back in the woods. When IMcGilbra decided to return to camp, Wurts said: “I think I'll walk to the end of the ridge, and then come back in a few minutes.” Wurts has not been seen since then. With high winds preventing safe air travel, no plane was scheduled to attempt search for Wurts today, but both Marine Airways and Al- aska Air Transport will be on the look-out when weather conditions improve. | The Fornance, commanded by Major Kirby Green and Lieuten- ant D, A.
