EQUIPPING OF SMALL
MILL. FREE COURSE.
AT ALASKA COLLEGE
DEAN PATTY STATES FAILURE
MANY SMALL MINES TRACED
TO POOR MACHINERY
(Special to The Gateway)
FAIRBANKS, Oct. 14. (/P)—Accord
ing to Dean Patty of the Alaska Col
lege, one of the common causes of
failure of small gold-quartz mines in
Alaska can be directly traced to the
installation of “freak” or unproven
mill machinery.
Often the miner uses exceptionally
good judgment in developing his prop
erty to a point where the installation
of milling machinery is warranted. He
and his associates feel assured that
a good profit is in sight and they set
out to equip the property with a mill,
j Too often they meet up with the
'salesman or with advertisements
j boosting a new type of mill guaran
teed to secure unusual results. Ex
. travagent claims often convince the
| *
inexperienced with the result that the
mill proves a disappointment and of
ten disastrous to the success of their
venture. It should be the firm rule
of the small operator to stick to stand
ard equipment for his mill. He should
jbuy machines that have stood up un
der the gruelling test of time and
have become recognized as standard
through out the industry. The small
company cannot afford to experiment
jwith unproven equipment.
This year at the Alaska College the
! Mining Short Course men will give
special attention to the problem of
.equipping the small mill. The labora
tory at the School of Mines is equip
ped with standard milling devices and
these will be studied and their limita
tions discussed. This work will be in
charge of Professor Scoles who has
'had much practical experience in mill
testing work.
The men who take this work will
have the opportunity of conducting
test runs in the college ore testing
plant to gain practice in amalgama
tion, cyanidation, flotation and gravity
concentration of ores. Men who have
some particular problem should ship
in 400 to 500 pounds of their ore and
use it for their tests.
This is only one of the many fea
tures offered by the mining short
' course which opens at the college
November 1st and continues to Janu
ary 22nd. Tuition is free. The abil
ity to read and write is the only edu
cation requirement. Board and room
can be secured at the college dormi
tory for $55.00 per month. This short
; course offers exceptional opportunity
to use the Alaska College as an aid
I to the solution of their mining prob
lems.
