The German High command said its forces were fighting 62 miles

veloping against Moscow London sources said that the German,
drive toward Kharkov (2) still met with stubborn resistance. Ger

I
Oxygen Plan?
Tn Territory
Without question thn maio'"
industrial dcveloorrent in Fair
banks this year, the Alaska
Chemical Oxygen Company, is
, now virtually in full production
making oxygen for industrial and
| other uses.
Situated on lower Second Av
enue. the plant is not imposing
from ihe exterior, but on inter
ior inspection a id from the point
of view of service to the country
j it is most impressive.
Mining companies, machine
jshops and other heavy users of
: oxygen for industrial purposes
will quiek'y recognize the sav
i ings that are possible by having
the reduction plant so close to
the market. For years they have
been paying the transportation
costs to and from Seattle and
daily rental of the heavy iron bot
ties—costs that are now material
>y reduced because of the Fair
banks location of the plant and
the quicker turnover of bottles.
Convenience and Service
Another considerable conven
ience of the plant lies in the fact
that it will not be necessary for
a shop using oxygen to carry as
''great a supply.
! Of particular intere t to min
ers in the outlying camps who
1 use industrial oxygen in their
'shops is tiie fact that the metal
bottles used by the Alaska Chem
" ical Company are 30 pounds light
er than those shipped in from the
States. Th? freight savings from
Faubanks to the camps arid re
turn, usually by airplane, wili
run into many hundreds of dol
lars in a season, it is estimated.
Now capable of daily capacity
of 50 bottles the plant wi I soon
be stepped up to a figure that,
opn supply all the needs of the:
( area served. The oxyge now be
ing produced runs better than
9!) percent pure and is suitable
ff>r all industrial purposes.
Should the need arise it can also
be used for high altitude flying.
Comolicated Process
In explaining the workings of
the plant and the methods of re
ducing tiie product, Walter Buck
ow, manager, expressed gratifica
tion at striking unusually good
water—one of the necessary in
gredients for the opi ration of
J the plant. Otherwise, it is best
to report merely that the plant
j makes oxygen, rather than to at
tempt to explain the course that
i the air travels during the pro
; cess. The raw product goes thru
j so many pipes, compressors,
j cleansing tanks and other gad*
! gets that the layman is com
i pletely bewildered trying to ful
[ low it through from its entrance
( into the p'ant to its final stopping
place in one of the metal bottles.
At the pres nt time, the Alaska
Chemical Company, is supplying
j oxygen to the U. S. Smelting Co.
. and the Army. The product is dis
! tributed retail by the Northern
j Commercial Company and Glenn
Carrington & Company.
James S. Robbins is president
of the company and Waiter Buck
ow is manager.
