WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 190, 1951 & THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE —JUNEAU, ALASKA PAGE THREE Saarela s Reporis On Mines With no markets tory, mining for strategic ba minerals is almost at a standst according to Leo Saarela, Commi: sioner of Mines for the Territor; who returned Monday from a fie! 1'1 trip to the Interior. At least or chrome property at Red Mounts Kanai Peninsula, is ready to go into immediate production but as there is no one interested in bu ing chrome +in Alaska, the mine| is not in operation. in the Te Other minerals high on the strr\—] tegic list found in the Interior in- clude ntimony, tungsten, copper, | zinc, mercury and tin but even development work on known prop-| erties has dropped off according to Saarela. During World War II, federal purchasing agents with authoriza- tion to buy certain strategic min- erals were stationed at Anchom:m Nome and Fairbanks. With a guar- anteed market, properties continued to operate during the war. The program ended in 1944 and in spite of the demand for critical metal government purchasing has ot been resumed. Mines Have Problems Mining, which ranked Alaska’” second largest industry in the war economy, is having a difficult, time according to Saarela. high wages paid on const jobs and the scarcity of exper help has combined to make an acute labor problem. Saarela reported that for the firs time this year, many Eskimos were hired by the placer producers. The Eskimos, ymany of whop have a natural mechanical ability, have been good workers in spite of their inexperience, Saarela reported. With the price of gold set at $35 per fine ounce, mine operators are caught in a spiral of rising labor and material costs. Mine employecs often have been “shanghied” from mining jobs by men hiring for n- struction jobs and offering higher | wages. An additional problem this sea- son according to Saarela was the shortage of mining equipment re- pair parts. During recent there has been an in e in Hw number of two and thrée man out- fits working placer bulldozer and sluice box. Thesz op- erations were seriously hampered this year because of the lack of essential parts. This Season’s Operations While in the Interior, Soarela and Wiley D. Robinson, assistant coal, engineer, visited coal mining prop- erties in the Nenana and Matanusk coal fields.

On the Radovan property at Glacier Creek, diamond drilling on copper deposits started this year. ‘The property is adjacent to the former claims of the Kennecott Corporation in the Copper River country. Cairo Mob Riols in Anti-Foreign Demonstration CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. -10—(P—A wild crowd armed with stones and clubs, surged through the downtown | streets of Cairo today, western business houses in a frenzy of anti-foreign rioting. The outbreak sprang from Prime Minister Mustapha El Nohas Pasha's denunciation of the Ango-Egyptian treaty and his bid to chase all Brit- ish troops off Egyptian soil. The Red of the Arab world meanwkile joined Egypt in full cupport behind his plans to drive British out of its Suez Canal en- campments and the Anglo-Egypt- ian Sudan. A British and a French firm and the trucks of Coca Cola and Pepsi- Cola distributors were first targets for attack by shouting mobs. They also stoned and ~tempted to storm the big Immobilia build- ings in the heart of Cairo. The two buildings, constructed around an open court, house a number of American and British business offices. “Down with Britain, up Wwith Egypt,” the rioters shouted. Police reinforcements rushed tc the scene of the riots and had some difficulty dispersing the crowds The mobs broke up into smal groups and went off shouting foi cancellation of the Anglo-Egyptia: alliance. Steel-helmeted police, wielding clubs, patrolled the main Cairc streets.
