CARNEGIE LETTER TELLS
SECRET OF SUCESS
•
ITHACA. N. Y. (U.P.>—The late
Andrew Carnegie, millionaire
steel manufacturer, attributed his
rise partly to an ability to use
other men’s brains.
Cornell University has acquired
a letter written by Carnegie to
a college professor in 1888.
"I could not be of any use talk
ing to the young men upon either
of the two subjects you mention,”
the letter reads. "I am neither
mechanic nor engineer, nor am I
scientific. 1 seem to have had a
knack of utilizing those that do
know more than myself.”
FOWLER APPOINTED
ASSOCIATE MINING ENGINEER
ft
Howard M. Fowler, mining eng
incer, who during the past year
has been in charge of develop
ment work at the Lucky Nell pro
perty near Hollis, Prince of Wales
Island, in the Tchian mining dis
trict, has accepted an appoint
ment as Associate Mining Engin
eer with the Territorial Depart
ment of Mini's, according to an
announcement made by B. D.
Stewart, Commissioner of Mines.
He succeeds J. C. Roehm, who
has been granted indefinite leave
of absence and who will remain
in Arkansas during the coming
year because of illness in his
family.
Mr. Fowler left Juneau recent
ly enroute to Petersburg where
he will initiate in Southeastern
Alaska for the Department of
Mines the seasons program of
field examinations of mineral pro
perties, the surey of mining de
velopment and rendering when
requested technical assistance to
prospectors and small mining op
erators. Special attention will be
given properties carrying base
ores, such as copper, lead, zinc
and antimony, which metals are
now in great demand and which
are bringing exceptionally high
prices. Special efforts will also be
made to encourage the search for
ores of uranium and related min
erals for which high premiums
are now being offered by the
Atomic Energy Commission.
From Petersburg Mr. Fowler
will proceed to Ketchikan, which
will be his temporary headquarter
for several weeks. Later he will
visit the Hvder and Wrangell
districts and other localities Where
prospecting and mining develop
ment may be in progress or con
templated.
Now that a speed of 1,000 miles
per hour for passenger carrying
stratoliners may soon be a pos
sibility, we may presently anti
cipate a dialogue such as this:
“What was that row of cathed
rals we just passed over?"
“That wasn’t a row of cathed
rals. That was the Empire State
building, the Taj Mahal, Westmin
ister Abbey and the Kremlin!”
•
Boy, do we have a dumb ice
man! A housewife overslept this
morning and was awakened by
that iceman looking for the ice
box in the bedroom
•
The strong man at the fair had
Squeezed the juice out of a lemon
Holding it up before the crowd
he shouted. 'Til give $5 to any
one who can squeeze another drop
of juice out of this lemon
Up stepped a little man. He
gripped the lemon, and to the
j surprise of the crowd, squeezed
out several drops.
"It’s easy,” he murmured. "I'm
a tax collector.”
•
African hunter: “While wand
ering around a native village 1
spotted a leopard.”
Sweet girl: “Don't be silly.
They grow that way.
•
The husban eyed his wife over
the hotel dinner table in puzzled
surpise.
“That's a beautiful necklace you
are wearing my dear.” he said.
“Yes, isn't it darling?" replied
wifie. “I found it in the back of
your car."
•
Wife tto husband): “Haven.t you
anything nice to say about my
mother?”
Husband: “Yes. she objected to
our marriage.”
