l>r. Walter Lindsay, who recent
ly made a trip to Alaska, is writ
lug a series of articles lor the
Los Angeles Times ou this north
land, and makes the following re
commendations;
My glimpses o£ Alaska satisfied
me that it deserves and needs the
thoughtful fostering care ol our
national government, it is in the
same latitude as Norway, Sweden
and Finland, has a much better cli
maie, more arable land, and is a
much larger territory than all
thr>e of those European countries
combined; yet they have a popula
tion o1" 19,000,000, while Alaska has
a white population o>f less than
40.0t>u. The federal governmeut
should issue 1,000,000 copies of a
booklet, giving a comprehensive
statement of facts in regard to
this territory.
Where are its gold mines, its
coal mines and its copper mines?
What is the outlook for the pros
pector and the investor, and where
should he go?
Where are the agricultural lauds,
and what are probably the most
profitable crops?
What should a man of limited
meaug do to secure a quarter sec
tion or a section of agricultural
land?
Who £Jid where are the govern
ment officials with whom he must
confer in order to secure land?
What and where are the various
woods to be found in Alaska for
ests, and what are the laws govern
ing timber lands?
Where has oil-bearing land been
discoversd and what are the pros
peits?
What are the educational facili
ties?
Where axe schools of designated
grades?
How many teachers of various
grades are employed, and where?
Describe various trips that may
be made through and around A'.

Where and when may the mid
night sun be best seen?
Where are the most access bile

illuminating than it coa be at

POSSIBLE SOURCE OP POTASH
Following Secretary Lane"s in
structions to put 3pecial effort in
to its potash investigations, the
United States Geological survey is
publishing the suggestion that a
possible- source of potash may ex
ist in the tailings piled up at the
} concentrating mills of the big cop
I per mines in the AVest. The "por
I phyry" ores which are being mined
by the millions of tons annually con
tain several times as much potash,
as copper, and this remains in the
tailings at the mills, material al
ready finely ground and in condi
tion for treatment, as well as easily
accessible fcrr shipment. This pot
ash, however, is locked up in the
form of silicate minerals, and the
commercial extraction of potash
from silicates has been for sever
al years the subject of earnest study
by industrial chemists. If this prob
lem can be solved, it would ap
pear <hat a largo tonnage of potash
bearing material is available in the
Western States.
The brief report issued this week
by the Geological Burvey (Bulletin
S20-J) contains typical analyses of
these "porphyry" ores from the
la-rgest copper camps in a half-doz
en statpe, as well ag tonnage esti
mates of the ore reserves and ore
already mined and treated. A few
'check analyses of tailings are also
I published.
Suggestion of a possible potash
reserve in these tailings originated
with B. S. Butler, the geologist in
charge of the survey's statistical
study of copper, who has based this
shor* paper upon the published ana
lyses of specimens collected by the
government geologists in their in
vestigations of the mining districts.
The significant fact regarding
this possible source of potash la
that in quantity it is more tha«

adequate to meet all the needs of

by-product of tho copper industry
therefore becomes an attractive ono

mineral technologist.

ROCK CAVE-IX KILLS TWO
AT PERSEVERANCE
Junfrau, Dec. 2—George More, a
machine man, and Andrew Bel
castle, a helper ou another machine,
lost their lives in the Perseverance
mine Saturday night by a fall of
rock which crushed them to death
and buried them under three feet
of muck. The accident occurred at
No. 2 stope, east, in No. 9 level.
Mor's watch stopped at 10:22 p. m.
the exact time of the accident. The
bodies were brought to Young's yes
terday.
The machine bars had just been
set up tnd the drills were about
to be started when the cave-in oc
curred, on the foot-wall. The
rock came down without waraing,
otherwise the men would have es
caped, as they had plenty of room.
Another miner was slightly cut by
flying eolintere. The bodies were
dug ou* by the miners within a
few minutes, but death had oc
curred instantaneously, it woe In
dicated. The ground had been
thought safe, according to the
men working in the stope.
Mo-re was an Italian, 35 years
old. Belcastle was also an Italian,
and was 23. Both were single.
The Juneral was held in Douglas
Tuesday morning, the bodies leav
ing hire at 9 o'clock.
