THE BOWEN BUILDING
There are no Pennsylvania Dutch,
yet we often use the phrase. The i
foreigners who in 1682 came to i
Pennsylvania with William Penn’s
expedition were Germans. The
word “Deutsch” became Anglicized
as Dutch. But all were Germans.
There was not a man from the
Netherlands among the settlers.
A man named Borghe.se, more
than three-score years ago, made
himself notorious by drawing bills
on fictitious banks. His name was
pronounced Bogus; hence bogus
currency!

BUREAU OF MIS
WILL MAKE TESIS
FOR NOMINAL FEE
The Bureau of Mines at the min
, ing experimental station in Fair
banks, has been recently authorized
! to make regular assays and quan
; titative tests or analyses of sam
i pies submitted by prospectors and
mining men.
i Hitherto it had been customary
for the bureau to make identifica-'
tion tests only, free of charge,
showing that the ore sample sub
mitted for such test, contained
copper, for instance; and under
favorable circumstances might also
give a rough estimate, at best, of
the values carried.
I Under the authority granted re-;
cently, and on payment of a nom
inal charge of one dollar for each
metal in the sample submitted, a
quantitative analysis or assay will
be made. The charge made for the
analysis is payable in advance and,
based on one dollar for each metal
contained in the sample, will largely
depend on the sample itself. For
instance, if a sample contains gold,
silver and other mineral, and if
gold alone, or any other metal, is
i required, the charge would be one
dollar. If both gold and silver;
, (or any two other metals) arc re-;
quested, the charge would be two
dollars. Any three metals, three
dollars, etc.
This work will not in any way
interfere with the service previously
furnished by the Burau of Mines,!
of making free identification tests
of samples submitted. There will'
be no charge for such tests in the
future, as in the past.
Ordinarily, in making free identi
fication tests, only such metals or
, minerals as have a present or prob
j able future economic value are
sought for and reported. If, how
lever, identification tests for other
metal: . ,d minerals are desired,'
and it it can be shown that such
I tests for other minerals would
: serve any useful purpose, commen-,
surate with the extra work required
they will gladly be made, free of
;cost.
Persons mailing samples for:
| quantitative analysis or assay or
specimens for identification tests
j tii this station should be governed
i by the following instructions:
The quantity of each sample or
j specimen should not be less than j
I one-quarter of a pound, and more
than two pounds is an unecessary'
excess.
j Each different sample of speci
, men should be wrapped separately1
or placed in a separate sack or |
container, and each sample or
speciment should be numbered in
two places. First, on a slip of j
paper carefully folded anil en- j
closed with the sample or specimen,!
because the placing of first class
mail matter, that is to say, writing >
or description of any kind, in par-!
cel post mail matter is against the!
law and subject to severe penalties,!
unless first class postage is paid!
on the entire package. Further
more, if descriptions and instruc
tions are enclosed with the speci
mens it is nearly always practically
impossible to read them by the
time they reach this station. )
i neretore send the letter sep-1
arately. This letter should state I
just what it is desired to have done
with the samples or specimens, re- ■
ferring them by number, and should
also give as much information as
possible concerning the location
from which the sample or specimen
was secured, and the amount of de
velopment work done there, the ap
proximate quantity of ore in
sight, etc.
If a quantitative analysis is de
sired the amount of the fee should
be enclosed, in the form of a post
office or express company money
order, or by check or draft payable
in Fairbanks funds. Postage stamps
cannot be accepted.
Charles David, of Chickaloon,
alone and unaided, saved 24 natives
from death from flu at that place
by nursing them and providing food

ARRIVAL TELLS
OF QUARANTINE
ON THE COAST
John Barker, who arrived in Ne
nana recently from Seattle via the
Broad Pass trail, told a News repre
sentative that, although the epi
demic had not been altogether got
under in Seattle, the ban had been
removed, and places of entertain
ment, schools, churches, etc. were
again open to the public.
Mr. Barker left Seattle on Dec
ember 22 on the steamer North
western, and arrived at Cordova
on the 27th of the same month.
At Cordova, he says, he was told
that there were over one hundred
cases of the flu and there had
been several deaths. Those who
were bound for the Interior had to
isolate themselves in their rooms
and procure a certificate from the
health officers of the town prior
to leaving it.
Chitina has established a very
stringent quarantine against Cor
dova, and the managers of the
Kennicott mines did not want any
men from Cordova.
Mr. Barker left Cordova on the
steamer Admiral Watson on Dec
ember 31, arriving at Seward on
January 3, and remained there for
four days, going to Anchorage on
January 8th.
There were no cases of influenza
at either Seward or Anchorage, and
he says that he was told that there
had been no cases for some time.
From Anchorage he took the
train to the end of steel, near
Talkeetna, arriving at 43-mile (Ne
nana Crossing) a few days ago.
BUTLER IN VIA THE
RIGHT OF WAY TRAIL’
Billy Butler pulled in late yes
terday afternoon vfith Mrs. F. D.
Browne, who has been visiting in
Fairbanks for a few days, and Miss
Ferretti as passengers. The jour
new was begun from the end of

afternoon of Tuesday, the night
being spent at Standard creek.
The team left this afternoon on
the return trip, with J. H. Russell
as a passenger for Fairbanks.
