Activity in the government's free
issay office at Whitehorse indlcaie3
ncreased interest in quartz pros

UK ia greatly increased over that

Odd of the most interesting and
)usy industries in Whitehorse Is

\ssayer W. C. Sime Is at work al

leterminiug values of every kind
lud description of quartz found In
tfukon and northern British Col
imbia. All summer the samples
?ut through the assaying process
lave averaged upward of two hun
lred every month and have reached
:hree hundred at times. On Wed
lesday of this week Mr. Sime made
.wenty-two separate tests, and month
y records show the business to be J
ncreasing every year. This year
he business of the office will be:
loublo what it was the first year
Ur. Sime was in charge.
The increase in the business of
issayirg is due to various
:auses. In the first place the
equipment since the nejv building
was constructed and modern ma
chinery installed is ouch that the
work is greatly facilitated over
what it was in the old building and
returns are much more readily ob
tained, and In the second place the
constant discovery of new quartz
deposits, or what is supposed to be
quartz, result in many more samples

barren rock is treated, but until
it is treated and found to be bar

prospector that he has not a for

The Stewart river is one source
whence many samples come to the
assay office, and, In fact, practically
every nook and corner lu the terri

lines. In the winter season, how
