Charley Harris, of Fort Worth,
Texas, a friend of Mr. Nubbiners
in the printing business, got slightly
peeved at a letterhead from a doctor
who wanted bids on several thou
sand letterheads, different sizes, dif
ferent grades and different colors,
and wanted the printing form held
standing. So Charley took his type
writer in hand and wrote:

STATION IS IHHNC;
[ An interesting report on the work
i of ttoe Alaska station of the United
States Bureau of Mines has been
prepared by .Lohn A. Davis, super
intendent. The station :it the pres
ent time is conducting Investigations
mainly along two lines, the recovery
of gold from black sands and the
study of milling methods. These
of interest among Alaska placer
miners who have bwen called there
by to effect a saving of gold in their
Ordinarily the Bureau of Mines
does no ore-testing work for the
benefit of private companies or in
dividuals. However, such work is
done by the Bureau where there
are no private agencies sufficiently
equipped and where the work re
quired is of sufficient public inter
est to justify governmental expendi
tures. This, condition prevails in
Alaska. While the station has not
developed any process new to the
metallurgical industry, it has. be |
the application of methods used else
where, devised means of treating ore
which cannot be treated profitably
by methods ordinarily employed in
the district. Mr. Davis makes the
statement that while the results in
some investigations by the Alaska
station have been negative from a
metallurgical point of view on ac
count of the low grade of ore and
hiuh cost of machinery, fuel, and
labor, they have been of positive
benefit in preventing the erection of
concentrating plants which would
have been unsuccessful.
The station is also making qualit
ative determinations and assays for
prospectors and mining men. This
part of the work has been especially
favorably commented upon The
station is also making fuel investi
gations. and in this connection is
looking into the feasibility of using
lignite in a central plant for the gen
eration of electricity to be transmit
ted to the metal mining district.
