MOOSE ORDER EXTENDS
MOOSEHEART BENEFITS
TO MOOSE HOMES
The local Moose lodge is pre
paring to take an active part
in what is characterized as
one of the greatest organized
j humanitarian movements in
history, the Mooseheart-Moose
j haven extension program; the
object of which is to extend
the benefits of the two great
. Moose institutions, Mooseheart
and Moosehaven (Florida),
to the homes of deceas
ed Moose. To complete
this great work, a fund of
$1,000,000 is being raised by
means of an annual contribut
: ion of $1 from each member
of the order, to which local
lodge members will be asked
to contribute. As is known to a
majority of readers, Moose-1
i heart is the great educational j
institution established by the
Moose for the children of de
ceased Moose, while the ob
ject of Moosehaven is to pro
vide a home for aged mem
bers of the order.
Time and trial have proved
that it is unwise to admit phys
ically or mental subnormal
children to Mooseheart; also
that the admision of normal
children of a family which in
cludes defective members fre
quently tends to the dis
! ruption of the home through
I separation. It has also been

found necessary to refuse ad
mision to the Moosehaven in
stitution because of disease. It
is to overcome situations of
this character that the Exten
sion fund is being raised. Un
der the beneficent operation
of this program the atmos
phere and training of Moose
heart and the benefits of
Moosehaven will be available
to all, if not in the great Moose
centers, then in their homes.
As an evidence of what the
plan will provide, it is stated
that when the figures were
compiled to meet the first
Extension case presented, the
Mooseheart governors raised
the figures submitted at their
request by the Associated
Charities, by 20 per cent, the
increase being based upon the
desire of the Moose that the
family should live at least 20
per cent better than any scien
tific deductions as to costs
might indicate. This was in
line with the policy which has
made the Moose order’s care of
dependent children frequently
much better than the parents
were able to give.
As there is no other protect
ion for the future of the av
erage workingman’s family
equal to that afforded by
Mooseheart, “the school that
trains for life,” the Moose
have decided to tell the world
what Moose membership
means thru a great publicity
campaign which will employ
the radio, motion pictures and
the newspapers, in order that
the 40 million potential Moose
of the United Stated and Cana
da may not be forced to suffer
because they do not know of
the beneficent protection the
order extends to its members
i Mid their families.
According to membei-s of the
local lodge, efforts are now
being made to secure for local
display one of the Mooseheart
motion pictures, showing the
remarkable institution and its
activities. This picture should
be of considerable interest ow
ing to the fact that a local boy,
Leonard R. (Dick) Traversy is
an inmate of Mooseheart
where he is happy and is get
ting on well with his school
ing, according to reports to the
lodge.
Canadian government engin
eers are investigating the
possibility of establishing a
townsits at the head of Glac
ier Bay, B. C., where receding
glaciers are reported to have
i brought tidewater to the inter
national boundary,, according
to Mining Truth.
When the Alaska “pan
handle” boundary was delim
ited it ran across a number of
| glaciers west of Lfnn Canal,
and it was never determined
whether these glaciers cover
ed land or water. They have
melted and revealed a long
arm of Glacier pay extending
across the line into Canada,
to the west and north of Muir
Glacier.
If it is found practicable to
construct a port on Canadian
territory on Glacier Bay it is
proposed to build 'a railroad
around Chilkat pass connect
! ing with the White-Pass &
! Yukon somewhere near Car
; cross. This will give a Can
adian outlet to the Klondike,
Mayo, Atlin and other mining
districts.
Four rare old Indian baskets
were recently received by the
Alaska Territorial Museum at
Juneau. The baskets were sold
in a Juneau store more than
forty years ago and taken
south to California. The four
baskets, according to curator
Kashevaroff, are of the oldest
known weave and belong to a
basket architecture unknown
j among the Indians of the pres
ent day. The baskets were
sent to the museum by Esther
Martin, whose brother David
Martin, went to Juneau from
Wrangell, where his father
hhd a store, in the 70’s, and
engaged in business there for
a short time until he died.
Esther Martin has previously
contributed several valuable
articles to the museum, among
them being several early-day
pictures of Juneau.
Chief of Police McDei’mott,
of Fairbanks, was recently sus
pended from duty by Mayor
De la Vergne. At a meeting
of the city council the mayor
stated that he had suspend
ed the chief for being intoxi
cated and disobeying orders.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE
VALUAELE MINERALS
The following means o i
identification of valuable min
orals are based on the easily
recognizable properties oi
luster, color, weight, etc., and
are only approximate methods
Any mineral having a metal
lie luster is likely to be a val
uable mineral.
Minerals which are valuable
and which have- non-metallic
luster with a light color in
clude :
Lead carbonate and sulphate.
Zinc carbonate, Zinc silicate
(calamine), Antimony Oxide
Barium sulphate (Barite)
Sheelite (Tungsten) Celcstite
(Stronium),
Magnesite, aluminum oxide
t (Bauxite). Alunite (potash
j alumina), fire clay, fullers
'earth, phosphate rock, gyp
sum, infusorial earth.
Of these the first seven arc
heavy while last are light in
weight. Barite and scheelite
generally occur in crystalline
forms, while the others may
be either crystalline or earthy.
Valuable minerals with a
non-metallic luster, which arc
dark or black in color, are
iron ores, chromite, manga
nese ores, pitchblende (radi
uni), tin ore, (easseritc), wolf
ramite (iron tungstate), fire
clay, phosphate rock, graph
ite.
Fne first six are heavy. The
last three are light in weight.
Iron ores, chromite, casserite
and wolframite are hard.
Manganese ores are generally
soft and earthy.
Minerals with resinous luster
are zinc blende, sulphur, some
verities of chromite.
Practically any- heavy min
eral may be valuable.
The following are distinctive
colors which generally always
indicate cne of the minerals
following them.
A green stain in an ore indi
cates cither copper, nickel or
vanadium. Some silver, lead
vanadium, tungsten and zinc
minerals arc green.
Copper minerals.
The common rod minerals
are cuprite (copper) cinnabar
(mercury), realgar (arsenic),
zincite (zinc), ruby shvcr,
• ead oxide, hematite, (iron),
VII of these are heavy.
A soft yellow mineral may
be molybdic oxide, carnotite
{uranium and radium), coic
iin vanadium minerals, or it
nay be only an iron salt. Mm
arals which are yellow and
crystalline are sulphur, so.uj
lead and cadmium ores.
Some lead, chromium and
molydenum ores are orange
n color.
A pink stain in rock general
(y indicates cobalt. Mangane^
carbonate and silicate and
lithium minerals are pmk.
A mineral which maker a
streak on paper like a bad
oencil may be either gra^hHo
or rnolydenite, or some tellu
•ide minerals. Black so?f mm
orals which soil the firv*«rg
'eadily may be either dioxide
>f manganese or black oxi >
l of cooper. A mineral wbrnh
| cuts like wax is silver chloride.
Magnetite (oxide of iron) and
j native iron are the only min
i orals possessing well defined
magnetic properties. Platinum
| •? often magnetic because of
he metallic iron that it con
i cains. Pyrrhotite (sulphide of
ron) is feebly magnetic as is
I sometimes chromite.
Any natural compound that
! ’5 soluble in water should be
; investigated to see whether it
might be one of the following:
Potash, Soda, Nitrates, Borax,
Epsom Salts.
In serpentine areas the fol
lowing should especially be
locked for:
Nickel, chromite, platinum,
asbestos, bagnesite.
The mineral pyrrhotite often
contains nickel.
1 Dykes containing large quant
ities of white mica and fluorl4"1
1 rhould be searched for tin and
tunsten.
Oxidized iron capping sho-’H
be tested for copper and goj-l.
