MINE STATION 1
TO ASSAY FOR
PROSPECTORS
The Fairbanks mining experiment
station has been authorized to make
assays and quantitative analyses , !
of samples submitted by prospectors t
and mining men. A quantitative analy v
I sis or assay is one that determines i
and reports the exact amount of given <
metal, or metals, that may be present .
in a sample, as distinguished from an -
identification test, in which the pres (
once or absence, but not the quantity, j
of minerals or metals is determined
An identification test might show j
i that an ore contains copper, for in T|
stance, and under favorable cireum r
stances might give a rough estimate j
of the amount, but in order to find (
the exact amount a quantitative an
alysis or assay must be made.
A nominal charge is made of $1 for j ^
each metal in a sample determined
by a quantitative analysis or assay. ^
That is. if gold alone (or any one *
other metal) is required, the charge '
■ would be $1 If both gold and silver (
(or any two other metals) are re- *
quested the charge would be $2. Any s
three metals. etc. These charg* (
1 are payable in advance. 1
j This work will not interfere i ' any r
j way with the service previously fur
I nished by the station, that of making
free identification tests of specimens. ••
There will be no charge for such tests
in the future, as in the past.
Ordinarily, in making free identifl
cation tests, only such metals or min
erals as have a present or a probable •:
future economic value are sought for v
and reported. If. however, identifica
tion tests for other metals and min j:
* erals are desired, and if it can lie •:
shown that such tests for other min-'lj:
erals would serve any useful purpn-^e j:
commensurate with the extra work re j:
quired. they will gladb* be made free
of cost. :•
| In the case of gold, silver and plat-jij
intim in specimens submitted for free :•
identfiication tests no report is made •:
unless they have been detected by :j
panning, because these ratals invari- •:
ably occur in rocks and specimens in
such small quantities, when compared :j
with the quantity of the rest of the :•
specimen, that it is impossible to *:
identify them by the chemical methods *•
. used In making the identfiication j?
, tests. The only way in which they :j
can be determined is by making an
assay, for which a foe is charged as •:
stated above. If, however, the char- ::
actor and appearance of the specimen j:
indicate the probability that gold, sil- ■:
vor or platinum may be present in f
sufficient quantity to justify the ex- :!
ftense of an assay, the person sub- •:
mitt lug the specimen will tie notified •!
so that he can say whether he wishes
an assay to lie made. :
Persons mailing samples for quan- •
titalive analysis or assay or sped :
mens for identification tests to this j
■ station should lie governed by the fol
lowing instructions ;
The quantity of such sample or :j
specimen should not hi* less than one- *:
J quarter of a pound, and more than f
two pounds Is an unnecessary excess. f
Kach different sample or specimen •:
should he wrapped separately or f:
placed in separate sacks or contain if
ers, and each sample or specimen •>
should be numbered in two places : I §
First, on a slip of paper carefully I £
folded and inclosed with the sample i
or specimen, and second, on the out-1 f:
side of the wrapper containing the i £
sample. I
All writing or descriptive matter
and instructions should be sent in a i f
letter, which must not be inclosed in
the package containing the sample or ,
specimen, because the placing of tin ff
first c lass mall matter, that Is (o sav. re
writing or description of any kind. In
parcel post mail matter Is against
the law and subject to severe penal-; :•:•
ties, unless first-class postage is paid jf:
on the entire package. Furthermore.
if descriptions ami instructions arc*
inclosed with the specimens it is £•
nearly always practically impossible
to read them by the time they reach
this station.
Therefore send the letter sepa- ijl
rately. This letter should state just
what It is desired to huve done with
the samples or specimens, referring :$
to them by number, and should also
give as much information as possible
concerning the location from which
the sample or specimen was secured, ji;i
and the amount of development work £:
done there, the approximate quantity
of ore in sight, etc.
If a quantitative analysis is desired g:
the amount of the fee should be in
closed. In the form of a postofflce or |:j:
express company money order, or by
check or draft payable In Fairbanks :j:
funds. Postage stamps can not be £:
accepted. S

•XPERT ADVICE
ON EPIDEMIC
OF INFLUENZA
(Continued from I’age Two)
ilicatlons, and it is probable that
auch may be done to mitigate the se
erity of the affection and to dirn'nish
Ls mortality by raising the resistance
f the body against the chief second-1
ry infecting agents. No vaccines
hould be adminlsterd except under
ompetent medical advice. No drug
as as yet been proved to have any
peclfic influence as a preventive of
nfluenza. At the first feeling of ill
ess or rise of temperature the patient
hould go to bed at once and summon
du medical attendant. Relapses and
omplications aro much less likely to
ccur if the patient goes to bed at
nee and remains there till all fover
as gone for two or throe days; much
larm may be done by getting about
oo early. Chill and overexertion dur
ng convalescence are fruitful of evil
onsequences. The virus of influenza
s very easily destroyed, and exten
Ive measures of disinfection are not
ailed for. Expectoration should be
eceived, when possible, in a glazed
eccptacle in which is a solution of
chlorid of lime. Discarded handker
chiefs should he immediately placed
in disinfectant, or, if of paper,
burned.
"The liability of the immediate at j
lerdanls to infection may be mater
ially diminished by avoiding inhala
tion of the patient's breath, and par
ticularly when ho is coughing, sneez- j
ing, or talking. A handkerchief should >
he held before llie mouth, and Hi''
head turned aside during coughing;
or sneezing. The risk of conveyance
of Infection by the lingers must be
constantly remembered, and the j
hands should lie washed at once after
contact with the patient or with mu
cun from the nose or throat. Each
case must be treated, as occasion de
mands, under the direction of the
medical attendant. No drug lias as
yet been proved to have any specific
curative effect on influenza, though
many are useful in guiding its course ,
and mitigating its symptoms, in the
uncertainty of our present knowledge |
considerable hestRation must lie felt
in advising vaccine treatment as a
curative measure.
"A period of enfeeblcment follow
ing an attack of inflounza should nev-!
er be disregarded, as it it apt to mask , (
(lie presence of other morbid eondi- »■
tions.”
