In 1939, the National Geographic society's Yukon expedition photographed and mapped a vast area in northwest Canada, and last month an aviator reported sighting an unmapped chain of lofty peaks in the northern part of British Columbia.

Rumors that the ore veins of the pioneer mining region's hundreds of mines were fading out were disproved with the estimate that nearly $5,500,000 in gold ore was taken from the veins in 1938. Production estimates of 1938 coincided almost exactly with the 1937 production, showing no decrease in activity and no sign of a Blowup in 1939. New developments during the last year indicate a strong possibility that the region will increase rather than decrease production this year. New shafts are being dug and improvements carried on in the old mines, giving the entire region the appearance of the "boom days" of the eighties, when Colorado came state. into its own as a The average depth of the major Cripple Creek shafts is between 2,000 and 2,600 feet into the rocky sides of the mountains. Most important of the 1938 improvements was the sinking of the main shaft of the Ajax mine to the 2,600-fomark. Officials of the Golden Cycle corporation, operators of the mine, said a promising series of small veins had been opened in the lower diggings, indicating a long working period for the shaft. In addition to the large enterprises now under way, many smaller mines have undertaken improvements which are designed to increase their capacity. "Watered" or flooded mines are being pumped out and reconditioned. Several shafts, long abandoned because of a slump in metal prices, are being cleared for new operations, and owners hope to develop Cripple Creek and its surrounding towns into another bonan za district. A survey of the mines in the district showed that 1,558 miners are employed in mines, mills and of-gold-mini- ng ot 55 SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE Sugar House via 11th Please observe that above schedules give 170 round txips daily between Salt Lake and Line Town Cross 21st South on House the connecting Sugar East and 24 round trips daily through Sugar East Street Thus ' Fifteenth Street and State between the line on South and North system House with every 194 bus trips daily to and from Salt separate on the Utah Light & Traction System Sugar House is afforded 5:00 and 6:00 p. nv, or an between the hour in furnished Lake s business center.

Last Friday Premier Chamberlian of Great ISriton told in a speech broadcast over the world just what happened at the Munich conference when the republic of Cechoslavakia was dis membered and Sudcterland given to Hitler. At that time Hitler made an oral declaration then signed his name to a treaty that there would be no more seizure of territory by the German Reich. That the very limits of the territorial desire 6t Germany were appeased and that the German nation did not want any nationalty except Germans in its confines. He proved himself (Hitler, wc when he moved mean) to be nothing more than a common the German fences out to take under his rule various small coun- ries, which by the way, do not talk german, their banks, excises. and instruments of war.
