Alaska mourns, as never before, the
loss of the hand that was guiding, with
a calm, unswerving purpose, the nation
to prosperity. We feel the loss—oh so
keenly—because it is bnt a few days
ago since we felt his sympathetic hand
clasp and looked into his kindly face,
as we learned to love him as a man —a
friend.
Our hearts bleed for his wife, who
in her virit with us, endeared herself,
for all time, to Alaskans.
It is bitterly hard, at such a time,
to become reconciled to the Great Plan
of the Universe that calls for the snatch
ing from our midst, of one so human>
so modest, so kindly and, withal, so cap
able and So sorely needed as Warren
G. H arding, pur beloved president.
Within the past two years the De
partment of the Interior has instituted
thru the Bureau of Mines, a service
which will prove of inestimable value
to the miner in the isolated districts of
Alaska. This is the first aid seryice giv
en by trained first aid miner with head
quarters at Anchorage. His duties con
sist of visiting all mining camps to give
lessons in first aid to the injured and
instructions in mine rescue and recovery
work where conditions warrant. Infor

mation concerning this work will be
sent to a nyone connected in any capa
city with the raining industry of the ter
ritory.
Since its inauguration, instructions
have been g'ven in many districts; the
following figures, from an exchange, in
dicating that the larger companies as
as well as the smaller operators are ta
king advantage of this free service to
prevent loss of life from accidents
bound to occur in any mining region.
41 men were trained at Kennecott; 27
at Latouche. 41 in the Juneau district
20 in the Willow creek distridt, 31 in
the Kantishna district, 29 at Fairbanks
6 at Jonesville, the Evan Jones coal
camp in the Matanuska field; 42 at
Eska, the Alaska Engineering Commis
sion's camp in the Matanuska coal field.
Of this number abont half have recei
ved First-aid Certificates, the rest hav
ing taken partial training. In addition,
the Boy Scouts and firemen at Juneau
and airbanks are qualifiied to give effi
cient first aid service.
Mine inspection in the territory can
not be as adequte as it is in the states
for obvious reasons, and medical service
except, at the copper mines, is miles
away; hence the work of the Bureau of
Mines along this line cannot be too
strongly emphasized.
