Alchemic Gold
Despite the advance of
science, including the recent
experiments by English
scientists with the atom, and
;he claim that by eliminating
one electron from mercury
that gold results, it appears
to be a far-distant possibili
ty of making gold from other
metals.
In contrast to this highly
interesting research, w hat
might be termed the direct
action technologist is devot
ing his research to evolving
more economic processes for
recovering m e t a 11 i c gold
from the earth.
These process range from
the primary., that of washing
gold from the gravels, am
algamating w i t h mercury,
concentration of the metal
-ics on separating tables, fro
thing and recovery by flo
tation, and conversions thru
transmuting the metallics in
to gases and reprecipitating
them with reagents.
It is claimed by eminent
metallurgists that, were it
possible to recover the gold
existent in ordinary sands,
gravels and rocks far remov
ed from the source of the
gold, and from sea water,
where it has become soluble
in the chlorides, there would
be sufficient to make the
metal secondary to other
rare substances.
The fact that a Denver, j
Colorado man has perfected!
a mechanical process which,
it is claimed, saves 96 3-4 per
cent of the gold, marks a
step in advance along purely
mechanical lines as they ap
ply to recovering metallic
gold.
Out of the World War
came a deluge of scientific
advancements r e 1 a t i n g to
man’s comfort, health a n dl
material wealth. Out of the
World War of Depression
there should be promise of
discoveries which will over
night convert what are now
considered n o n-eommercial|
gold and other precious met-'
FR. MENAGER LEFT
FOR THE NORTH
The Rev. Francis Menager, S. J.
former Superior of the Alaska Je-|
suit missions, who has been in Sew
ard visiting with Fr. Merrill Sulz
man for several days, left today for i
Anchorage to join his brother, Rev.'
Gabriel Menager. The latter hasj
just been appointed to the Alaska 1
missions and will be pastor at Nome. I
Fr. F. Menager will be stationed at j
Kotzebue.
A farewell party was given at the |
rectory last evening by Fr. Sulz-!
man and 23 persons were present
to bid adieu to the churchman be- |
fore he left for his Northern Post.

al deposits into highly pro- .
fitable enterprises.
Thus it is not difficult to
understand the rapid swing j
from other commercial and!]
industrial pursuits to g old'
recovery. It is not a boom in (
.the understood sense of thei
term but, like scientific and :
industrial progress markingj<
the peak of American pros-!1
perity following the war, the;
only agency thru which the!
standard of value of the!
world may be increased save
by tricks of t ra d e which ;
swings the gold supply of the ]
word from nation to nation, j
It is herein that Alaska
cannot fail to come into its !
own. There is hardly a hill
which does not contain some !
gold, however how small in !
quantity. There are regions j
s o constituted geologically |
that they promise large com- j
mercial deposits under pre- ;
sent methods. j
Therefore any advance- J
ment in metallurgical science i
which serves to lessen the 1
cost of production will be ,
welcomed by the world as no j!
other achievement could se-j!
cure. !!

Alaska’s salmon pack to the ev- 1
ening of August 5, for all districts <
aggregated 3,894,951 cases, accord- j
ing to figures in the Juneau Em
pire. Of this figure red salmon pre
dominated with 2,133,177 cases re
ported. The pink salmon was con
siderably short aggregating only 1,
252,319 cases, .about 700,000 cases
less than had been packed on Aug
,gust 8, 1931, the nearest date for
which comparative figures are av
ailable.

Juneau’s ambulance service isi
proving itself of great value in |
many emergency cases where there :
is no time to be lost in getting peo
ple under medical care. During the
month of July eight calls were
answered, most of them to take!
patients from boats or airplane. ;
Three were pneumonia cases, two j
were broken legs, and one was an j
arm torn off at the shoulder.
The party of farmers and their
wives who recently visited South
east Alaska had their ardor some
what dampened by the continuous
rains since they left Seattle but!
most of them took in all the scenics ;
without being daunted by the down- |
pour. The time honored conception!
of farmers in overalls and their
wives in sunbonnets suffered* a
cruel blow, for these men and wo- i
men appeared as substantial bus- J
ine.ss men and women, as many of
them were. The farmers in the:
party were for the most part re
tired. although some of them took j
time out from active participation j
in crop raising. The farmers’ tour {
is sponsored every year by the Ohio J
Farmer, a magazine edited by Ray
T. Hickey, of Cleveland, who was
in charge of the vacationists.

Donald McLaughlin, professor of
mining engineering, at Harvard Un

ly to study the Alaska Juneau mine
operation. Prof. McLaughlin is also)
associated wit.h the Homestake j
Mine, at Lead, S. D„ which turns!
out $800,000 worth of gold each!
month.
