TO THE VOTERS OF NOME
AND THE SECOND DIVISION
Due to a death in the family, my presence
is required in California for the next several !
months. I will therefore be unable to return to
my home at Nome in time to actively participate |
in the Primary Election of April 30th.
As I again seek reelection to the House of
Representatives of the Alaska Legisllature, I
again ask your support at the polls. As in the past,
I have no axe to grind, am not beholden to any
special interests, and will continue, if reelected,
to serve the best interests of the majority of our
people.

Treasure Hunt Will
Be Most Thorough In
History of the U. S.
WASHINGTON—Uncle Sam is
conducting a treasure hunt—the
most thorough in the country’s
history.
It's scientfic search for seven
minerals essential in the making
of war weapons. They are: man
ganese, tin, nickel, chromium,
tungsten, antimony and mercury.
The Army and Navy Munitions
minerals”—that is, if this coun
minreals”—that is, if this coun
try went to war, all would have
to be obtained, in whole or in
part, from sources outside the
United States.
A four year investigation of
ore deposits is being made by ex
perts of the Geological Survey
and the Bureau of Mines. Ore
samples are being analyzed in
government laboratories and the
Buneauy of Mines is doing re
search on metallurgical methods.
What We Have—And Haven’t
Here’s the situation on the sev
en sought-for metals:
MANGANESE — Probably the
most critical mineral deficiency.
Little U. S. ore is of a type suit
able for making ferro-manganese
the alloy used in steel manufac
ture Needed for airplanes, other
weapons and precision machin
ery: Chief hope is future develop
merit of methods to improve the j
considerable quantity of low
grade manganese ores.
TIN—Second most serious min
eral shortage problem. Domestic
production less than 1-10 of 1 per
! cent of consumption. Some na
tive undeveloped resources. Most
of our supply comes from Asia.
Used in gun metals, solders, bear
ings and for protective coating
on steel “tin” cans.
NICKEL— Hardly any domes
tic resources but Canada has
about 90 per cent of world sup
I ply. Essential in toughening steel
j and manufacture of armor plate,
j Nickel steel used in large cal
j iber rifles, marine shaftings, au
| tos and bridge construction.
CHROMIUM—Current produc
| tion insignificant but consider
able undeveloped chromite ore
which could be used in emergen
cy, providing methods are work
ed out in advance. Essential for
rust-resisting steels. Used in ar
mor plate, projectiles, high speed ,
j cutting tools.
TUNGSTEN—Domestic produc
j tion, about half of nation’s con
| sumption, could be stepped up in
j an emergency. Ores widespread
| in U. S., but commercial produc
tion confined to 11 western states
'Essential in certain tool steels
| and incandescent lamps. Our big
gest imports from China and Brit
ish Malaya.
ANTIMONY—Most of our sup
plies come from a Texas smelter
which treats Mexican ores. U. S.
resources in this country very
limited, but proximity to Mexico
helps our strategic position. Used
in bullets and shrapnel, anl alloy
ed with lead for storage batter-\
ies.
MERCURY— ,U. S. imports
| about half of its required sup
plies. Self-sufficiency might be
j attained for a brief emergency
| period under stimulation of high
| prices. Used for detonating high
| explosives and for many indus
| trial activities. Several substitut
I es, but for military use mercury
j is considered safest and most re
liable.
