C. Kennell. Many Juneau residents are now asking for Pirst Aid Classes and it is necessary to train more work- ers to take over positions in Civil- jan Defense, Larson said. In order to outline the work for the year and to plan the num- bér of classes which may be given, the First Aid chairmen hope to |get a complete list of all instruc- tors who are willing to teach this { winter, on Friday night. During the meeting, plans also will be made for a short refresher session for the instructors, Mrs. Anna Leak Here | Mrs. Anna Leak arrived in Ju- neat from the Interior yesterday and is visiting her sister, Mrs. M. J. Haas for a short time before continuing to the States. Mrs. Leak’s home fs in Gulkana and she expects to spend the greater part of the winter visit- ' ing on the Pacific Coast. On Her Way to States| Shortly after receipt of the | Washington dispatch, the Empire| | received the following from An- chorage: “Anchorage Chamber of Com-| | merce studying contemplated order By WPB to elose all gold mines at | an early date. Walter W. Stoll,| | manager of the Independence Mine, |said that hé has been advised by the American Mining Congress that the order may be issued.” Local Viewpoint Locally, until definite word 1is Teceived that Alaska will be ex- empt on the halting of gold min- |ing, the concensus is that gold mining will continue in the north- {land. Dismantling of any part of |plants in Alaska would entail a tremendous cost and shipment of |néeded equipment to the states ‘would necessarily involve shipping difficulties in view of the already lack of cargo space. There is plenty of equipment in the states that could be turned over for the min- ing of nonferrous metals, it is stated. Machinery used in hydrau- llc mining would not be useful mq} nonferrous metal mining. In Alaska about the only non- ferrous metal required would be tin and this is known to exist only on the Seward Peninsula and tin is now being mined there with all equipment necessary. Gopper min- ing was stopped when the Kenne- cott mine’s ore was exhausted. Miners released from gold min- ing would probably engage in other war production. Merry-Go-Round In a Washington Merry-Go- Round release for October 1, re- ceived by the Empire, it is re- vealed that a backstage battle pre- ceded the Nelson plan to close gold mines and that Secretary of In- terior Harold L. Ickes has long fought to swing production from gold to tin and copper mining. Under the sub-head of “Battle of Gold Mines,” Drew Pearson, author of the Washington Merry-Go- Round, writes: Behind Donald Nelson’s plans to close the gold mines of the na- tion was & backstage argument ‘with Secretary Ickes who long as- serted that it was foolish to mine more gold only to bury it in the ground at Fort Knox. Ickes and his Bureau of Mines proposed early last summer to use gold mining labor and machinery for the production of much need- ed tin and copper. Among other things he proposed that the Homestake Mine in the Black Hills of South Dakota, one of the largest in the United States, be closed and its machinery moved 20 miles to an important tin de- posit. While the United States does not have tin deposits of highgradé ore, it does have tin which can be mined profitably” in wartime. And with cargoes of Bolivian tin being sunk ‘in the Caribbean, it was vi- tal to open tin production inside the United States. However, when this was proposed fo E. Vogelsang, chief of WPB's Tin and Lead branch, he acted .| just as leisurely as he did before Pearl Harbor, when he stalled for months before okaying an Ameri- can tin smelter in the United Stafes.
