H 'I‘HF [)RILLS One current activity near Juneau which we feel may well be worth watching is the diamond drill- ing activity of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, about to get under way ‘on the Yakobi posit area ’ If the dnl‘ling tests of the party headed by John East show that the Yakobi Island area is high enough in nickel to be a profitable enterprise for some commercial operator, it's a cinch bet we will see rapid development of the island holdings. For such has been the history all over the coun- try of mining properties” where investigational work on the part of the U. S. Bureau of Mines has shown worthwhile ‘mineral deposits. Locations reached by a trail across the mountains when the Bureau of Mines men went there to make their tests have| bloomed into huge mining operations, on which com- | mercial operators have spent millions in develop- ! ment work and built towns and modern connecting highways from -the “diggings” to main highways Unbiased by politics or the desires of wildcat speculators, the report of investigations by the Bu- reau of Mines men stamps any ore deposit as good, bad or indifferent beyond question. Mining inter- ests with capital handy for development of promis- ing areas have learned that they may rely on the finding§ of these mineral sleuths. On the other hand, Bureau of Mines investiga- tions are not made -in the interest of any group of operators or claim holders, but are founded on the general needs of the nation. For instance, right now the Bureau of Mines is not especially interested in investigating potential gold and‘sflvea- deposits.

He has - been succeeded by R. M. Barrington-Ward, assistant editor of “The Thunderer” for 14 years. There was a time when a change in the editorship of The Times would have been an event of inter- | national importance. That it is not quite that to- |day is the result of several factors. One is that | The Times has become so much a British institu- tion that it is beyond the mutations which lesser | journals sometimes undergo when a new editor | takes over. Another factor is that other British | newspapers have risen to a place where they also more | :z-xpre,\.s accurately, and sometimes perhaps | authoritatively, the ideas of the average citizen of | the British Isles. Mr. Times, lived up to the best ideals of journalism. He was a man of strong opinions and strong convictions. That is why his tenure as editor was interrupted | during the period when the late Lord Northcliffe owned the controlling interest in The Times. Later, when the Northeliffe influence waned, Mr. Dawson returned to the editorship in 1923. He held it until | the present time. Through two wars and an un- easy peace, he guided the paper so that its pres- tige remained untarnished. His opinions and his | policies frequently were questioned and challenged; | his integrity never was. | It is a position of great power and responsibility to which his successor now falls heir, But in the 27 years that he has served The Times, Mr, Barrington-Ward has been so- steeped in the tradi- tion of that newspaper that he can be expected to | carry on in the same spirit as his predecessors. Now We Know | (Philadelphia Record) | Science has just come forward with a beautiful Justification for the “night owl” who claims he can’t work properly until late in the day. It's all a matter of body temperature, according to a report by Drs. N. Kleitman and A. Ramsaroop, of the University of Chicago, presented at a recent meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, It seems the “night owl” type of worker just can't get warmed up until late in the «day; this warming up rocess isn't a figure of speech, but something proved by thermometers. It's not only a justification, an excellent excuse for lying in bed of a morning. Anybody who wants an extra hour’s sleep can, of course, explain to his wife that he's the night owl type and gemng up will only waste time.
