ENGLAND MAY HAVE CENTRAL
 MINE BUREAU

LONDON, Oct. GA suggestion is being made to establish a Central Department of Minerals and Metals under government auspices to col lect and impart information bearing on the sources of minerals and the production of metals, as being i'm peratively necessary in the public in terest. This is advanced in a letter sent to the chairman of the 'Advis- ory Council of Scientific and h. dustrial Research" by the presidents of the Institution of Mining En- gineers," Institute of Mining and Metallurgy" and institute of Metals"
 The letter points out that there is at present no connecting link be tween various organizations, that there is considerable overlapping and much waste and confusion. If a prop erly organized and efficiently con ducted department of minerals and metals had been in existence much valuable time, many lives and vast sums of money would have been saved to the nation in the conduct of the present war, and much of the cost and inconvenience to British in dustries depending largely for their raw material on mineral products would have been saved The fol lowing are some of the duties sug- gested by the new department:
 Arrangement for eXpediting the completion of mineral surveys of the United Kingdom and Crown Colonies and other British possessions. Sys- | tematic collection and coordination of information bearing on the occur | renee, uses and economical value of minerals and their products; special | attention being devoted to securing industrial applications for newly dis covered minerals or metallurgical pro | ducts and to finding mineral ma l terials required for new metallurgical

BRAIN OPERATION
 NOW SUCCESSFUL

Pat Hogan, the man who was ope- rated on for an injury to the skull, is now well and able to return to his home at Cinema. Some time ago a bale of hay fell upon Hegan's head while he was working in the ware house of the Dominion Commercial company at Hot Springs. He was brought to Fairbanks and placed in St. Josephs hospital.
 He kept getting worse, and finally two of the local surgeons decided that tumor was forming on the brain. They operated on the man and found that there was a pressure on the brain due to pus forming be- tween the skull and the coating of the brain. This was drained off. For time Hogan did not improve very rapidly. Now the fever is all gone and he is apparently well.

 On the witness stand today Mis- Strand testified that at one time she cooked for Malone at the seen" of his mining operations near Fair banks She says that it was then that they agreed to be welded, and that, upon the advice of Malone. she left Fairbanks for Seattle. She al leges that Malone was to have fol lowed her to the Outside, where they would have been welded, but that he failed to follow the plan agreed upon, putting her off from time to time when she communicated with him. In the meantime Malone mar ried in Fairbanks, according to the story told by the woman.
 Miss Strand returned from trip to Norway shortly before she filet her suit in court here. Asked upon cross examination why she went to Norway instead of to Alaska, she said: T didn't care to live; l was hoping all the way over and back that something would happen to the boat"
