When the mines were shut down by a War Production Board order, some machinery was transferred to other types of mines. In Alaska, gold dredgers have been able to get surplus equipment, such as bulldozers, from the Army, but the winter will scon close down their k. Dredges in California can work the year round and Need- ham said they should be able to get in operation “fairly quickly.” Owners of a number of the major lcde mines, such as the Homestake in South Dakota, spent money keep their properties in repair dur- ing the shutdown, but many othe: deteriorated. This also is hamper- ing the industry’s return. “I doubt if anyonz knows just what has happened to the mines, T doubt if the owners know them- sclves,” Needham said Several Western Congressmen have have indicated they will sponsor legislation to recompense gold mine owners for losses suffered during the shutdown. ® ‘The shutdown order was meant to divert manpower and equipment to more critical industries. The gold men claim that it failed almost en- tirely in its purpose.

C. Arnold re- ported, adding that several mat- ters were not cléar in the order, The chief bone of contention, said Arnold, was the P. E. Harris Cannery at Kake, located on a patented site. He said the depart- ment order would make Kake a reservation and interpret the word “land” to include that uncovered at low tide. This would jeopardize the cannery's use of the adjacent beaches to work on fish traps and nets and also would affect its shore installations, said Arncld. -> MRS. BLANTON RETURNS Mrs. W. P.
