WXSHINGON, Nov. 30—Attention
h called by the United States Geo
logical Survey to the fact that it does
not mafce analyses or assays of ores
or metals for private parties. Many
specimens and samples are received
by the Survey, accompanied by re-'1
quests for such treatment, with which
it is imppssible to comply.' ‘ The'
force of Chemists employed in the
Survey is small, and their time 1b
fuly occupied by their regular official
duties. The Geological Survey haB
no facilities at all for making gold
and silver assays. The most that can
be done is for the Survey geologist
to give an off-hand opinion based
on a simple examlnatioa of the speci
men. If an assay is desired, the
proper course is to employ a private
assayer or to send the specimen to
one of the government assay offices,
where a regular charge is made for
such work. When specimens are
sent to the Survey for examination,
applicants should be particular to
state whether they wish them return
ed, as otherwise they will be destroy
ed. Government assay offices are
located at Carson, Nev., Seattle,
Wash., Boise, Idaho; Helena, Mont.;
Salt liake City, Utah; and Charoltte.

SPOKANE, Nov. 29—During the
sessions of the American Mining Con
gress, attended by a great many
Alaskans, considerable thought and
discussion have been given to the
questions affecting Alaska. The coal
question has been thoroughly thrash
ed out, in the effort to devise methods
that would result in the early open
ing up of the rich deposits in the
Northern field. Action was finally
taken, endorsing a law which would
remove the determination of the vali
dity of the Alaska coal claims from
the hands of the Secretary of the
Interior department and place the
questions before federal courts for
decision.
A resolution was also adopted fav
oring the passage of a law by Con
gress which would permit the Alas
ka coal claimants, who filed on coal
lands prior to withdrawal order of
President Roosevelt in 1900, to bring
an action against the United States
in the efderal courts of Alaska, with
the right to appeal to the United
States Supreme ocurt, in order to
establish the validity of their claims.
While a leasing bill and other
methods of opening up the Aluska
coal fields were discussed, the general
belief prevailed that the quickest
action would result if some of the one
thousand claimants could secure
patent to their lands, under the ex
isting laws.. . There was not much
confldenece expressed in the Interior
department to grant any patents, for
under certain rulings that have been
made this will almost be impossible.
But it is maintaised that the de
partmental rulings are not in accord
with the law or its intent. And for
that reason it is believed that the
Federal courts, or the United States
Supreme court, will be more likely
to give justice to those claimants who
have complied with the law, so far
as it was possible for ordinary man to
interpret it. And if a numer of these
claimants secure patent they will at
once be able to open up mines and
secure railroad construction to bring
the fuel to tide water. In the mean
time Congress could wrestle with the
question as to what to do with claims
in which the government retains title
or expected to regain it.
SPOKANE, Nov. 29—The big ex

der luncheon in Industrial Union
hall. The Bunker Hill & Sullivan

word from Seattle office that here
after all sailings of passenger steam
ers for Southwestern Alaska will both

maintained during the summer has

geneally made by the merchants of
Ketchikan and Juneau. They had
become so accustomed to both the
freight and passenger service of the
Mariposa and the Alameda, that when
these steamers were recently routed
via the outside passage they realized
that they could not get along without
the visitation. So pressure was
brought to bear upon President Bax
ter and Traffic Manager Jones and
they determined to extend the ac
commodations asked for. The re
turn trip of the Northwestern will be
via Juneau. She will stop at Katalia
and take on the party of about thirty
government men who have been
working at the Bering river coal
fields. These men sacked several
hundred tons of coal, which will be
brought out and taken below for
testing purposes.
