Paul Hopkins, Analytical Chemist
for the United States Bureau of
Mines, working in cooperation with
the Alaska Agricultural College and
School of Mines reports the following
assays and mineralogical determina
tions for a six months period from
JuJly 1, 1927 to December 31, 1927:
Number of custom assays made: 515
Official assays and analyses: 88
Duplicates and miscellaneus: 171
Identification tests: 134
The following determinations were
made in connection with the above:
Aluminum, 2; Antimony, 13; Arse
nic, 10: Calcium, 6; Coal, 7; Copper,
16; Gold and Silver, 639; requiring
794 fusions or scorifications and 684
cupellations; Iron, 10; Lead, 20; Mag
nesium, 4; Manganese, 2; Nickel, 2;
Platinum, 20; Silica, 2; Sulphur, 4;
Tin, 5; Water, 3; Zinc, 10.
These results serve as a good bar
ometer for the interest being taken
by various parties along the belt of
the Alaska Railrad.
This assay work is done at the Col
lege cooperatively by the Bureau of
Mines and the College as one means
of aiding in the mineral development
of Alaska. There is not sufficient
work of this nature to make commer
cial assaying 'profitable at ordinary
prices, hence Mr. Hopkins is assigned
to this work which is actually car
ried on at a loss. The cliaige foi
combined gold and silver assayss is
$1. and 31 for each additional mineral.
Ordinarly mineral determinations are
made free of charge. The prospec
tors of Alaska are urged to take ad
vantage of this service.
