Assisting him was Leonard Bender, whom Sorensen des- (!1b'~. as “an old and trusted em- e of the company.” Mrs. Thunes Helps Aiding these two men in their oyal care of the mine during the three years was Thunes' wife, ast known along Kimsham Cove as Thuney, the lady with the boat.” Mr. and Mrs. Thunes acted to- gother in piloting their little New England dory on missions of mercy. While Mr. Thunes handled the heavier demands of emergency and “missionary” work, his wife, ac- cording to Sorensen did a “man- sized job” in nursing illnesses, car- ing for children, encouraging the men in emergencies and ‘‘always ing a hot cup of coffee or some=- thing to eat ready for those who were hungry.” If labor anda material costs can with production ex- pectations the ‘mine will reopen, Sorensen said, and there will be no need of shipping in new equip- ment to take care of deterioration Constant upkeep and care during the shut-down has eliminated such a sthp. Before the war chagof mine be reconciled the Hirst-Chi- s known for its extremely effective safety program.; joh.ny Juneauites remember it as the “first mine in Alaska to equip its miners) with cap lanterns” With 75 per-| cent of its production going out in! dollar production, or bullion to the U. S. Mint, the mine dealt in only high grade production. Ongmallyr lccated in 1806, it started produc-) tion in 1927 under the manager-| ship of Dan Willlams. Since 1932‘ Sorensen has supervising all operation. Approximately 100 men were em-! ployed at the mine during its pre-| war functioning. - With the A-J! mine closed and no indications ap- parent of its opening in the near future, the reopening of the Hirst-, Chichagof mine is a subject of keen interest to nearby Juneau. Sor- ensen’s report of the mine's readi-| ness for postwar opening was re-;~ ceived with great approval by bu: ness men and mining interest§ in this city. i §1.25 41539 C Pound 3 Q¢ 35 2 a@ns - - §5¢ CLOSES 10 A.
