Alfred Brooks Report
 on Fairbanks Quartz

A United States Geological Sur vey Press Bulletin. arriving in re- cent mail. contains preliminary statement by Alfred II. Brooks as to mining in Alaska during 1910. Com pl6te and accurate statistics of the min ral production of the country are a. yet unavailable. bu- the de partmont has considered il desirable tp give prompt publication 10 the preliminary estimates. Following are some clippings from Mir. Brooks report:
 Lode Mining.
 The marked advancement in lode mining in many parts of Alaska dur ing 1910 is the most encouraging feature If the industry. This is in part reflected by an increase from 19D9 in the production from gold Iodes estimated at value of about s300. 900, and an increase in the cop per output of nearly a million and a half pounds. More important to the future of the lOIemining industry, however, is the amount Of dead work and prospecting accomplished in the various regions. Notable advances were made in the golden lode dis tricts of Juneau. Prince William Sound, Kenai Peninsula, Willow Creek of the Susitna Basin, and Fairbanks, and in tha experiencing districts of Prince William Sound, and the Chitina Valley The only important advances in lode prospecting in the inland lode re. giCn were made in the Fairbanks district. Here the work of 1910 in dicates rathar wider distribution of gold than had previously been known The work Cf the lode pros pector has been much helped by the erection of a GUS om mill of h stamps at Cinema. This. with the g. stamp mill at Fairbanks, makes it possible to test the Crcs. As practi- cally all the prospects are located near the railroad which runs to Cinema and Fairbanks, the Cres can easily be sent to the mills.
 The upper part of Cleary creek and the region Immediately adjacent constitute the center of most active quartzmining development. Promis- ing finds are reported, however, from Fairbanks, Dome, Vault, Moose and Ester creeks. Tn SC finds inii- cate a wide distribution of aurifer ous mineralizaticn. which is support cd by the occurrence of the placers that have been so productive in the past. Tha work done on the pros poets appears to be sufficient to in- dicate that some of the veins are persistent. Less inf rmation is avail able regarding the probable value at dep-h, as tho deepest openings are reported 10 be only about loo feet below the outcrop. The values in the surface prospects leave little to be desir q.
 Some advance was male in quartz mining in other parts of the Yukon district. Little appears to have been

So He Could Not Join the

Although it had been his LIES am
bition to join the army, and after pass
ing all the tests prescribed, George
Tubbs, Of Peru, Ind, was refused ad-
mission to Uncle Sans service yester-
day at the local recruiting station be-
cause he is "Web-footed."
Tubbs came from Peru several days
ago, and had spent some time search
ing for a job. Yesterday he learned
there was recruiting office here, so
he visited it and told Corporal Hern
that he had wanted to don blue uni
form ever since he was small lad.
The corporal started to put him
through the prescribed examination,
and found him unusually proficient.
He had passed nearly all the of the
physical test when Corporal Hern Or
dered him to 'wiggle his toes" as a
part of the examination. Tubb disap-
pointedly answered that he could not,
as he was web-footed. so the recruit
ing officer had to refuse him, because
of the rules of the service.
Corporal Hern has just received an
official order from headquarters of the
recruiting service to the effect that he
may no accept colored men for either
cavalry or infantry, regardless of
whether they have served in the past.
