ALASKA EXPERIMENT STATION,
FAIRBANKS, ALASKA
The United States Bureau of Mines
maintains a station at Fairbanks,
where, among other activities, tests
of ore samples are made for prospec
tors and miners. This policy is not
generally pursued at the other expe
riment stations of the Bureau, but
has been adopted in Alaska because
of the great difficulty experienced by
prospectors in having assays and an
alytical tests performed. Two kinds
of tests are made:
In the- first kind, unknown minerals
are identified and the sample tested
for minerals of value. There is no
charge for this service and those
wishing such test should ask for an
identification test or a tes: for min
erals oi value. Ordinarily in making
free identification tests, only those
metals or minerals having a probable
commercial value are leported. Tests
lor other miners will be made onjy ii
it can be seen that they will serve
some useful purpose. The presence of
gold, silver or platinum is not re
ported on a free test unless they have
been detected by panning It is other
wise difficult and impracticable to
detect thos> mttals cxc-,i by lire as
say for which a fee is charged as
stated below*. If, however, the ap_ i
pearance of the sample indicates that
an> O- 11• * se me'-uls ar^ likely i', be
present, the sender will be so noti
fied. An amount of the sample suf
ficient ior such assay is always re
tained.
The second kind of test is that com
monly known as an assay, in this
kind of test the exact amount or per
centage ui to.ie meta. or substance
in the sample is determined. A
charge is made for this kind of test
at the rate of one doliar fer each me
tal or substance determined in each
sample. However, both gold and sil
ver are determined in any one sam
ple for one dollar.
In sending samples for test or as
say not less than three ounces or
more than tw*o pounds should be sent.
Each sample should have a separate
sack or secure wrapping. Each sam
ple should have a number on a slip qf
paper which has been tightly folded
to protect the markings and enclosed
with the sample. It is desirable also
to have a number on the outside of
the sack or package. Stud a separate
letter of instructions each time sam
ples arc sent. The instructions should
not be enclosed with the samples be_ ■
cause this is contrary to postal laws
and also because the writing is very
likely 10 become unreadable -from
wear and tear. The letter should
state the kind of test desired on each
sample and if an assay is requested,
the amount of fee should be enclosed.
All matter intended for this station
should be addressed, “United States
Bureau of Mines, Fairbanks, Alaska.”
Remittance should be made in the
same manner. Some confusion has
occurred because the Alaska .Agricul
tural College and School of Mines and
an Experiment Station of the Depart
ment of Agriculture are also located
at Fairbanks. The United Stales Bu
reau of Mines has no direct connection
with either of these institutions,
hence mail intended for it should not
be address “School of Mines,” or to
“Experiment Station.”
WILLOW CREEK MINER ON WAY
OoTSIDE AFTER BIG STRIKE
Jerome Drumheller, on-; of the prin
cipal owners of the Fern Mine on
Archangel Creek, Willow Creek Dis
trict, is returning to his home in
Spokane, having sailed on the last
trip of the steamship Alaska.
Fourteen inches of free gold ore
that, gauged by its external appear
ances, should cany values ol npprox_
imately $1,000 pci ton was cm recently
in the Fern mine in a 12-foot winze
being sunk on the vein from the main
working tunntl. The find was made
by T. S. Mcrougai, superintendent,
who is directing the work of explor
ing the vein to greater depths after
considerable pay ore has been taken
cut above. Jerome Diumi.t Her. who
together with Martin Wohldson. is
the principal owner of the property,
was present when the round of shots
broke into the bonanza.
The strike will no* aff;*t t:.e pro

Mr. Drumheller. This program calls

SEWARD YOUNGSTER MAKES
HIT WITH THE PRESIDENT
Louie Miller, the small son of Fred
Miller, a local barber, made a great
hit with the President, one day last
week. President Harding was stroll
ing about the streets, practically un
attended, and Louie came running by
with a pencil stuck over his ear. The
President stopped him and asked if
he intended writing. “Sure,” replied
the precocious lad.
“Would you like to have another
pencil to go over the other ear?” the
President asked.
“Sure,” replied the little fellow.
The President drew a long, nicely
sharpened pencil from his pocket and
placed it behind Louie’s ear. The lad
shook his head, dislodging the pencil,
and picking it up turned it over and
aver, comparing it with the one he al
ready had. Finally he handed it
back to the chief executive with the
remark, “It's too long for me; I
?uess I can’t use it.” ,
“Isn’t he a wonderful child,” said
Mr. Harding, as he replaced the pen
cil in his pocket and, shaking hands
vith the four-year-old urchin, pro
ceeded up the street.
The children of Seward greatly at
:racted Mr. Harding, who was seen
several times with one by the hand.
