MINE PROPERTY AT
HAWK INLET TAKING
ON NEW LIFE NOW
A new mining enterprise close to
Juneau seems now to be assured.
The Alaska Empire Gold Mining
Co., with properties in Hawk Inlet,
'for a number of years has been de
veloping and working its properties
with a fair degree of success.
W. S. Pekovich, who has been its
manager since 1932 when the Com
pany was organized, is now going
back to Hawk Inlet and make pre
parations for the installation of a
power plant of sufficient capacity
to insure a year-round operation
with a daily output of not less than
an estimated 50 tons. Almost a
quarter of a million dollars has
been extracted from these proper
ties, says Pekovich and this has
been accomplished under difficul
ties due to the lack of adequate
power necessary to carry on the
mining and milling operation^ dur
ing parts of the year when the
available water supply is poor.
As 'With most mining ventures,
this one has had its troubles and
tribulations. It became involved in
litigation all of which has been dis
posed of to the satisfaction of all
concerned, says Pekovich.
In 1941, Harry Townsend, a well
known mining engineer in Alaska
and who represents the Anaconda
Copper Corporation in the Terri
tory, made a geological examination
of the company’s properties and in
his report expressed the view that
with adequate development a suc
cessful mine could be developed.
Recently an internationally known
engineer and successful mine oper
ator after visiting the company's
holdings made a report in which
he states that a valuable small
mine has been developed with every
indication of it becoming a possible
big producer.
During the time Mr. Pekovich
has been in charge and up to 1941,
the ore extracted showed an aver
age of more than $9 per ton actu
ally recovered. In 1941 a shaft was
sunk and ore through it has yield
ed $21 per ton, actual recovery. A
quarter of a million dollars is said
to have been extracted from the
property by what is termed “hit
and miss operations" due to the
lack of sufficient power. Up to the
present the company has used a
limited supply of water for power
purposes but with the • installation
of an adequate power plant on the
beach at Hawk Inlet sufficient wa
ter for power purposes to make it
possible to handle the tonnage of
ore, already developed.
Mr. Pekovich states that a per
mit has been secured from the gov
ernment, allowing the company to
operate on a limited scale.
The present workings are about
1,000 feet above sea level and are
reached by a road about one and
one-quarter miles long.
It is the intention of the Com
pany to handle approximately 50
tons of ore daily.

BIG POPPY SALE
EXPECTED HERE
NEXT SATURDAY
The biggest poppy sale in the his
tory of the American Legion Aux
iliary is predicted by Mrs. Bert
Lybeck, President of the local unit,
who said she would not be surprised
if more than double the usual num
ber were sold.
As few people know what the ar
rangements are for making these
Memorial Day flowers, Mrs. Lybeck
! explained that the materials are
furnished free to the veterans by
I the American Legion Auxiliary. Vol
: unteer workers teach the disabled
men to make the poppies. The entire
| program, from the supplying of the
poppy materials to the distribution
of the finished flowers to the Am*
, erican public, is under the manage
ment of the Auxiliary.
“The veterans and their dejfcnd
ents are the ones who benefit from
1 our poppy sale," she said, “not only
1 from the money that results from
selling poppies, but also from having
I something tangible to do instead of
■ having to rest, read or talk. These
men in the government hospitals are
' delighted to keep their fingers busy
| and their minds occupied with the
■ intricacies of fashioning tlfe poppies,
i Needy wives and children also reap
1 benefits from the sale of the flowers.
I “We have been selling these Mem
orial Day flowers for 24 years and
each year the poppy becomes more
closely identified with the American
! Legion Auxiliary and with out dis
abled men. We hope the service
will continue indefinitely."
Poppy Day in Juneau is next Sat
urday.

Arctic Hotel; B. A. Klesinger, liquor
dealer, and Frank Link, property
owner, were defendants In three
OPA cases brought up in the Dis
trict Court in Fairbanks before
Judge Harry E. Pratt.
Judge Pratt granted an injunction
against Sinatikas on the OPA com
plaint that he had failed to reduce
his rates to those fixed in November
by the OPA Rent Division, had fail
ed to post the OUA rates and had
failed to keep detailed records re
quired by OPA regulations.
Klesinger appeared on a warrant

The complaint accused Klesinger of
selling a fifth of whiskey to Max
Clayton at a price higher than the
ceiling price, and of failing to post
ceiling prices for his merchandise
as required by OPA regulations.
Link also appeared on a warrant
and arraignment. He was charged
on three counts, namely, illegal at
tempt to remove a tenant from a
defense area housing accommoda
tion, illegal refusal to renew the
lease of said tenant, and unlawful
reduction of essential equipment in
the house.
The affidavit in support of the
OPA complain charged Link ordered
the tenants to vacate the property

sewage facilities had resulted in an
OPA order reducing the legal rent.
The affidavit declared that Link
thereafter refused to accept money
for tbe next month’s rent and later
removed the water pump from the
basement.

DESERT DRAMA
OPENS TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
In John Brophy's "Immortal
Sergeant," which arrives at the 20th j
Century Theatre, 20th Century-Pox,
brings to the screen the tirst stir
ring drama to come out of the |
blazing desert warfare which led i
to a British victory in Libya.
Starring Henry Fonda and Mnu-I
reen O’Hara, the action-packed
film was translated to the screen
from Brophy's popular novel which,
besides being the first to dramatize
the adventure and courage of the
embattled African scene, in effect
set an exciting new story pattern1
for these unforgettable times.
Brophy has written more than a
story of action in the desert or an
account of an heroic incident. With
tense suspense, he constructed in
sharp detail a story of average men
growing to the stature of heroes
under an incredible strain which, as
brought to the screen, becomes an
epic of men under fire. I
All in all, reports from previews
indicate that 20th Century-Pox,
which made "How Green Was My
Valley,” “This Above All” and "The
Pied Piper,” once again has un-,
covered the key to translating a
thrilling novel into an even more
thrilling film. |
A strong supporting cast features
Thomas Mitchell, Allyn Joslyn and
Reginald Gardiner.
