The old reécord fell recently when Ken, a forward, counted 27 points against Salem. That was seven points more than necessary to tie the record of 1596 set by Hank Luisetti of Stanford. Kenny's mark was 1603 points, with 11 games still on the Battler schedule — so the six-foot-two Grif- fith probably will far outdistance the California star Ken, a farm boy, made the Wells- burg, W.

He knows without look- ing where Ken will be, feeds him the ball. and bingo! So well has Dunham carried out this role that he’s known as “Mark the feeder.” Mark is an accurate shot himself, third high in the team scoring to date. Ken, a “B” average student, is a non-smoker, non-drinker and “holy fright” is his strongest expression. “He has onlv one fault,” Dunham s seriously. “He's in love.” Ken admits he will probably marry after his graduation in June. He met Helen Shaffer at Alderson Broad- dus. She was graduated last year and now teaches music in a small Ohio high school.

J. Sommers Construction building in Juneau. This machine, known to most min- ers, can be seen cn the floor at the local concern or in demonstration there, everyday. It is one of the newest and most compact of its kind ever built. One Man Operator This mechanical geld pan, oper- ated by gas motor and easily moved about by one man, will handle placer sands, mill tailings, mine dumps, de- velopment ore, and is successful as an amalgamator following stamp batteries Burr Johnson, manager of the lo- cal retail company. reports the unit will handle from 1%: to 2 yards of bank run per hour, and is also ideal for recovery of gold from beacn sands. It is of interest to note that the machine has proven itself most wor- thy throughout the states where it has been in use in recent years. In 1833 a mechanical gcld pan was| taken to one of the oldest mining claims in Colorado, not worked since 1859 and set up where a recovery of $10 per hour was made in a claim thought used up for many years To Bring High Wage In many places in Alaska this ma- chine would bring a very high wage to any miner who could see fit to use it. Little water is used, and. if L]wi plant happens to be located where there is no water, the same waier can be re-used and reclaimed, thus placing wntcr-hs\mng at a mini- mum. The Denver Mfl'hamca] Gold Pan duplicates the hand panning motion by means of a steel yoke and saddle connected to an enclosed rotating, ball-bearing eccentric which gives a | positive vibrating motion of 240 os- | cillaticns per minute. Power by a 4- | cycle gas engine drives the pump for washing gravel and sands. The amount of water required is at a minimum of any placer machine de- velcped in the past.
