Development of the Cronin mine in the Bablne district out of Smithers is be;ng speeded up with the taking in of machinery and equipment by winter hauling. In connection with the industry in which potash is one of the prime requirements, E. A. Hag-gen M. E. points out that there are several feldspar rock occurring abundantly In British Columbia that contain a high per centage of potash. Such are (he Orthociases rocks associated with the pegmatite dykes at the Pais ley I'oint mine, on the coast south of Prince Rupert, and on the Skeena River. "While much research work ia being done on the recovery of potash from the rockit with which it is associated in nature, it cannot be said that an economical process has yet been developed. With the prog-reas of science, this difficulty will, no doubt, be overcome and. when it is, British Columbia will be in a ponition to compete with any purt of the world in" the production of all clamtes kttd grade of fertilizers."

J William C. Haines as meteor-; ologist will make surface observations of the air temperature at the base camp and will study cloud movements, visibility and uppsrj air conditions. The Byrd party is well equipped with aeroplanes, husky dogs, tractors, snowmobiles and ledges. Supplies to last two years at least have been taken ' and the party plans to remain that 1 long in Antarctica. After tre supplies have .been transferred from the shfp to the ice barrier i and the establishment of a permanent base, sub-bases will be , laid out along the proposed line of aeroplane flight towards the ' south pole. These are intended j to shelter the flyers in case they j are forced down when 'remote from the main base. j Commander By d when organiz-1 ing the trip felt that the aerial voyage to the pole would be th ' most hazardous as well as most spectacular of his projects. The plane chosen for this trip must1 carry a heavy load in men, fuel i and equipment through raritied' aiv. Whether the loader and the men he will take with him will be able lo land the plane at the pole is problematical . Even if they .tt8' succeed In this the task of Uking off again will provide another dangerous problem. There will be ii stretch of 400 miles from the' most southerly base to the pole; and a forced descent In this area I would be fraught with grave dan-gc to the members of the party. In the event of a mishap to the plane they would be forced to nt- ' tempt the long tramp back to camp or await the arrival of a relief party. The men who are likely to do 1 the piloting on the air jojrneys with Commander Byrd are Berti Balchen, Harold J. June and Dean' I Smith. Balchen returned to' the United States with Byrd after d.c norlh po!e trip and was relief pilot on the America's tran-Atlan-tn flight. June la a petty office- in tho navy and a pilot in mms.
