The final refusal of the board of fire underwriters of the Pacific coast to lower the insurance rates of Fair banks came in a letter received substantiates the wire received here during the last part of July from the underwriters. The Fairbanks Commercial club, which received the communications, however intends to keep up the fight against high rates until the underwriters reconsider their decision. The letter received was as follows:

 All frame towns with ranges not cut off by brick or stone walls take heavy rates, and it is just as true of California and the Pacific coas: States as of Alaska My advice generally would be to cut up your frame ranges with brick walls, and we can then under our tariff elimi- nate many of the exposure charges l do not know if there is much that 1 can add to MT Mohrhardt's telegram, but I will be glad to ad wise and certainly on the next visit of surveyor to Alaska, I strongly recommend that he go to Fairbanks

TUNGSTEN TERMINATION

 powder; introduce into test tube with small quantity of water, then add a quantity of hydrochloric acid in amount equal to the water in the test tube, then add one or two drops of nitric acid. Boil over a spirit lamp for a half-hour If the mixture shows a tendency to boil dry add enough water to keep up evaporation. The residue in the bottom of the tube will turn yellow Then add a small amount of pure tin and boil a few minutes longer. when it will turn blue. With pro longed boiling it will eventually turn brown, but If the operation is stop ped when it is blue and a little cold water is added it will remain blue. If it remains blue it will be tungstic trioxide, if not it will be something else.
 Pulverize the ore to dust and mix thoroughly with six times it's weight of soda; fuse at a bright red heat for one hour and a half; when cold pulyerize finely and boil in pure water until everything is dissolved that will dissolve. Then let the lime settle to the bottom and pour off the solution into another vessel. Add a small quantity of water to the residue and shake well for a few minutes; let settle and pour solution previously drawn off Be careful that none of the mineral residue passes into the solution This solution will contain all the tungsten content of the ore in liquid state in the form of sodium tung state. Now add the hydrochlorit acid until the yellow tungstic tri oxide precipitates. (The addition of metallic tin and a short period of boiling will cause the precipitate to turn blue as before.) Having caused precipitation, pour off the clear solution in the tube or yes

 Unreliable as doctors eXamina- tions are at such times, they are often responsible, however, for lot of excitement, as the doctor mans opinion is generally taken as certain proof of the referees judgment, or makes that official a "bonehead' and the laughing stock of all who think the physicians nasty examination is beyond ques- tion.
 The referee may be wrong in his rests upon him, and no doctors opinion should sway him from ren- dering a decision at once, unless it has been previously agreed that in case of foul being claimed the officials opinion shall be held in abeyance.

 A referee may err, as may any one else; but, if he is an eXperi enced man on the job, the chances are he will not be deceived in what he sees.

 When that happens he is entitled to the decision. When he is not hurt at all, the low blow may b. overlooked, even though it is tech nically foul, because a spirit of sportsmanship does not contemplate the winning or losing of a contest on mere technicality, where no damage has been done.
