Writes New Book For
Alaskan Prospectors
Professor Albert Wilkerson,
instructor in geology and min
eralogy at the Alaska College
and School of Mines; has writ
ten a new booklet designed to
aid Alaskan prospectors in the
identification of unknown min
erals encou.r srcl in the hills of
the Territory. The title is “De
terminative Mineralogy for the
Alaskan Prospector.”
It is written in simple, non
technical language and gives
tests for 75 different minerals.
These include practically all
the important minerals that
have been found or might be
found in Alaska. To avoid con
fusion, no attempt has been
made to include the very rare
and uncommon minerals. To
make full use of the booklet
the prospector needs only a
blowpipe and a few chemicals.
The publication is on sale at
the College Bookstore at $1 50
a copy, plus 15 cents postage.

t.ndorjl.jiv Townsend Plan
Petitions endorsing: the Town
plan are being signed by many
people in Juneau, according to
Albert White, who has the pe
titions in charge.
The petitions are to be pre
sented to Congress during the.
coming session and urge that
body to enact an old-age pen
sion law providing for all per
sons over 60 years of age.
The Townsend plan proposes
a monthly pension of $200, all
of which must be spent in the
month of receipt, conditional
upon the withdrawal of the
pensioner from all gainful em
ployment.
The plan is reported receiv
ing wide endorsement in the
States.
I
Administration Frowns
At Townsend Pension Plan
Federal Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins has referred to
the Townsend ‘old-age revolv
ing pension plan as “cock
eyed;” President Roosevelt has
derided it as “fantastic, and
Mrs. Roosevelt has found oc
casion to declare it “impractic
tical” over the radio. Also it,
appears that most 'of the class
coming under Mr. Hoover’s,
characterization of “rugged
individualists” and some Con
gressmen are very much op
posed to it, judging by what.
we read.
But Dr. Townsend, father of
the plan, fold Washington re
porters a few days ago that
the forces behind his proposals
will “lick the hide off Congress
and send them home for good”
if the plan is not adopted.
Whatever the outcome, the
apparently impending battle
should be both interesting and
illuminating to the public.
