ANTIMONY
DEPOSITS IN
ALASKA
The considerable demand tor anti
mony during the last year has stimu
lated the development of certain Alas • '
kan deposits of ore of that metal, from
which ore to the value of about J74- .
000 was mined and shipped during
1915. Stibnlte, the sulphide of anti
mony, haB been noted at 57 localities
in Alaska, but only a few of these have
produced and marketed ore. In 1915
the production of antimony ores was
begun at four mines in the Jb'airbanks
and at two in the Nome district. All
thp ope.aliens were 3mall and most of
them consisted of digging out the rich
ore near the surface by open cuts and
ot breaking and hand sorting it.
These deposits form the subject of
a repel t recently published by the
United States Geological Survey, De
partment of the Interior, as Bulletin
649, a volume of nearly 70 pages, en
titled "Antimony Deposits of Alaska,"
l.y A. H. Brooks.
According to this report, the Alaskan
antimony deposiU may be devtded In
to three principle groups—siliceous
goldbearing stibnlte lodes, stibnlte -
cinnabar lodes, and stibnlte—galena
lodes. Each of the first two of these
groups Is further divided, according
to strucure, into Assure vein3, shear
vein deposiU, and stockworks. These
deposits seem to have been formed in <
a rather recent geologic age, probably |
at the time of the intrusion of certain
Tertiary igneous rocks, _ though no
metalliferous lodes have been found In
the Tertiary sedimentary rocks.
A free copy of this report may be ob- ■

EXHAU8TE0 TURKISH TR00P8.
An interesting light on the con- !
dliloa and morale of the Turkish j
troops sent to tho Russian front Is
furnished by the Petrograd Retch, ac
cording to Cartoons Magazine. Thl3
newspaper contrasts the appearance
of the sultan's forces with that of
Russians "shedding their blood on the
fields of heroic Prance." We read:
“Exhausted, poorly clad, and uuder-|
fed, the urkish soldiers brought to i
relieve General Pflantzer, were soon!
removed to another part of the front
for the reason that Pflanter’s armies
had become so demoralized that no
amount of new troops could have,
helped them. The Turkish prisoners
whom we have captured are a con
temptible looking lot who can hardly
explain what they are here for. Be
sides our climate and our marshy dis
tricts are responsible for hundreds of
deaths among them. One will not find
even a semblance of enthusiasm In
their divisions. They distrust their
German allies, and refuse even to eat
their food."
,.A WORTHY thought ehould never
he stifled thru fear of ridicule. The
u^ly v*eed of today Is the beautiful
dower of teiuorrow
.machinery which will be installed at
| aa early date.
