EDITORIAL PAGE
It should always be remembered
'.hat the newspapers ci th<< territory
deserve all the support the people
cau afford to giv-j 'hem. Without
thoie newspapers Alaska would
never have reached the position
which i" now enjoys When a busi
ness nun Tefuses -o aid the paper
of bis community he is really re
fusing to do his duty to that com
munity. The Review in speaking
t.iis way dees not include Itself. It
speaks of 'he daily and weekly lo
cal newspapers which are struggling
along in tho effort to keep Uieir
several towns and districts before
the paltic eye. Au Alaska camp
without a newspaper is dumb and
partially blind.—All-Alaska Review.
I HE ORIGIN" Of
C.ULU .1X1) SILVER
Steamboat Spring, Nevada, h-T-s
figured prominently in discussions
Jt the origin of a»e -deposits. The
waters-- of these symgs contain the
precious metals in minute quanti
ties, and the sinter deposited by
them ccntain several minerals that
er$ couirou constituents of ores,
as well as small quantities of
many of the rarer metallic constitu
ents oi ore deposits, inducing gold
and silver. Such springs, there
fore, ..uggest that n;any and per
haps most ore-bearing veins have
been formed by hot waters risiug
from great deptlts, which, have
brcught their metal contents up
in solution and deposited them in
ooeu spaces or fis«ures in the rocks
through which tats waters passed,
the deposition of some ores being
influenced by chemical reaction with
the surrounding rock. Many ore
deposits are undoubtedly formed In
other ways, for sjme are unques- J
tionably of stdimsntary origin and j
the metal contents cf some others
bas been carried down, redeposited, j
and concentrated by rain water
tha» descended iaio the earth's
crust, but the "nydrothermal" or
igin—that is, their deposition from
ascending hot water—of many of
the more valuable ere deposits is
indicated by the clc?e relation ob
served at many places betwoeu
mineral veins and eruptive rocks.
Thermal waters are believed to be,
in part at least, given off by slow- j
ly cooling and solidifying masses,
of igneous rock (magma) deep '
•within the earth.—U. S. Geological
Survey.

vanced In anticipation of tie
enforcement of Germany's policy of
sinking armed merchant ships with
out warning. The quotation on
vessels bound for Mediterranean
ports was increased to 2 per cent
upcu the receipt of cables from
London say.isg that a similar rate
had been imposed there. Previous
ly the rate here had been about 1
per cent, but ranging upward to
1% oa specially valuable cargoes.
The war risk Quotation on ves
sels destined to English and French
ports also stiffened and ranged
from 1 to 1% oer cent. The high
est rate Quoted In recent weeks
on this business was 1V* per cent.
The reported presence of German
raiders off the coast of Brazil
caused the war rates on belligerent
merchant ships in the South Am
erican trade to stand firmly at 3
per cent.
