For the Prospector
Can you make an accurate compass survey of your
claim?
The strange minerals you find in the hills—can you
determine what they are with the blow-pipe?
Do you know how to test your ore for various meth
ods of concentration such as amalgamation, cyani
dation, jigging, table concentration and flotation?
Do you know how ore bodies form and their habits?
If you do you can pick favorable areas for prospect
ing and eliminate much dead work.
Would you like to be able to assay your ore for gold
and silver?
Will not these aids better your chances of putting a
new mine on the map in Alaska?
TUITION IS FREE
This is the nature of the work the prospector takes up
in the Mining Short Course at the Alaska Agricultural
College and School of Mines.
The first short course of 10 weeks duration begins No
