TESTS OF ORE SPECIMENS
BY BUREAU OF MINES

The Bureau of Mines is prohibit
ed by act of Congress from making
assays" or tests to determine the
quantity or percentage of metal
present in specimens, and thus con-
flicting with the interests of licensed
assayers. The Bureau, however,
at the Fairbanks station will be glad
to make tests Of rocks for prospect
ors to determine the quality or kind
of metal present, in cases where it
is believed that such tests will be of
economic Importance in the develop
ment of deposits of useful minerals.
No charge is made for such determi-
nations, the only requirement being
that each specimen submitted be &C
companied by as much information
as possible as to the location from
which the specimen was taken, near
ness to transportation, and whether
"foat" or from prospect hole or
claim. If the latter, the approx
mate amount or extent of mining
operations, such as shafts, tunnels,
raises, ETC., the size and extent of
the vein, the approximate quantity
of ore, and any other useful infor-
nation of general character should
be furnished.
The size of the sample should be
approximately 4x21ax2 inches and
if more than one specimen is sub
mitted, each should be designated by
a number to which reference can
be made in the reply.
In return for this information the
Station, as stated above, will report
the kind of metal or metals present
in the specimens, together with such
information as to their economic
value as it may have on hand and
any other recommendations which
might be of use to the owner of the
specimens.

HOME PRODUCTS

Nenana must bestir herself and
make every possible effort to get her
farming lands, lying to the south,
settled by real farmers. 1t is high
time for a complete elimination of
the necessity of importing from the
Outside, horse and cattle feed, at
enormous freight rates. Every
man. woman and child in this COM
munity is affected and we all pay the
freight in the end.
1t is now demonstrated fact that
our lands will produce an abundance
of the very best feeding fodder of
all kinds. Get our lands settled up
on, not by miners and prospectors,
but by real farmers who understand
farming. And these we must get
from the States and from certain
sections of northern Europe. Col
onize these fertile lands. Let Ne
mana begin at once an agitation
a propaganda pointing the way to
the federal government and the next
legislature sitting at Juneau, for
suitable appropriations for coloniz-
alton and financial assistance to the
members thereof. Aid them to get
started by long time loans and low
rate of interest.
Here is an inviting big and inter-
esting field to engage the attention
of our Commercial club and thus
keep ahead of the procession. Let
the motto of Nenana be, go ahead"
What if we do, once in while meet
with shoals and breakers in our on
ward, progressive march of develop
ment. With the right kind of spirit
such obstacles can be passed without
difficulty,-but go ahead.
1t is not only shame but crime
to send annually to the States,
enormous sums of money to pay for
land and other products that we can
raise at our very doors. Think of
it! Taking all the money from our
business channels, and sending it to
other communities, where it is used
to build up great and prosperous
centers. This sending Outside for
the things we can produce in our
own district is eternally wrong and
a crime against a growing comn4un-
ity. Keep the money at home. If
the various lines of business in the
town are now small, they certainly
have no chance of enlargement under
system which requires the expendi-
ture of such large sums of money in
Outside districts. Not a dollar of
this money should leave the town.
e" sending the r.oret Outside. YOU
are building up the other fellow and
his business.

sons which l will endeavor to make
clear. As our patrons are well
aware, the war tax at present is be-
ing paid by the management of the
Coliseum, as a matter of conven-
fence to the public. We realize
that the people of Nenana will not
bes.l Judge the Tax which the gov
eminent has imposed upon theater-
goers and we know that the public
does not expect the management to
continue to shoulder this burden in
definitely. The government has
made it clear that the public must
pay this tax. The government is
not particular whether the admis-
sion charge to theaters is increased
or other methods adopted to collect
the tax. But it insists that the tax
must be paid by the public.
Mr.. Thorne, of Fairbanks, has in
formed me that most all the show
of admission. Both the Coliseum and
Liberty theaters, of Seattle, have ad
vanced their admission charge from
fifteen to twenty-five cents. The
theaters on the coast have raised
their admissions from quarter to
thirty-fve cents. They, of course
can add five or ten cents to their
regular charge without inconven-
fence to the public. But in the In
terror we do not use small coins
and we can continue to get along
very nicely without them. 1t would
be unwise, in my opinion, to attempt
to introduce nickles and dimes at
this time.
Mr. Thorne also informed me that
another war tax would be imposed,
not on the public, but on the the
aters direct The tax will amount
to 1855 year. He also stated
that still another tax might be i'm
posed at a later date, to be known
as the film war tax We call atten-
ton to these things in order that
the public may see that we are do
ing "our bit" without undertaking
to pay the first tax levied upon those
who attend theaters.
The few exi.a cents patr"ns are
raorira1 fo now for amusement 10
not in any sense a donation to the
theater. The tax was decided upon
by the government inorderthat the
general public might assist in that
way to win the mighty struggle in
which the country is involved. If
we are loyal to our flag, we will all
do our bit and consider it a privi-
lege to aid in that way.
To enable the public to pay the
tax the government intended that
they should pay, we will adopt a
plan similar to the one in use at
Mr.. Thorne's theater, in Fairbanks.
His is one which has worked out sat :.
isfactorily both to the theater' man.

NOT SO BAD

There is a lot of satisfaction in
the knowledge that, in this great
world of ours there are thousand
genuine acts for every fraud; for
every injustice, a thousand acts of
justice and kindness; for every deed
of dishonesty, a thousand acts of
honesty; that there is more good in
the world than evil, despite the truly
terrible conditions that confront Us;
that the trend of civilization and
liberty is upward, not downward,-is
forward, not backward; that the ties
of the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man are strengthen
ing and widening day by day; that
the Father of all reigns, and the
star of love is in the ascendency.
Great optimism this may be, but it
is one born of an abiding and all
embracing faith in humanity.

When the United States entered
the world war the need for wood for
airplane construction quickly created
a serious problem. For most of the
air seasoned wool available had been
purchased for the Allied nations.
Thorough air seasoning of such
stock requires from one to three
years, according to the size and kind
of wood. Kiln dried stock, under
the methods ordinarily, has frequent
ly proved unsatisfactory. For some
time, before we entered the war, the
forest products laboratory, of the
U. S. Forest service, at Madison,
Wis, had been making scientific
study of the drying of wood, and had
developed method of drying, which
has been very successful. ..-.-
Ash and spruce are the woods
most in demand for airplane con-
st, ;ction. Thes" woods were XIII,
dried without injury Later, thor
oughly green Sitka, Alaska, spruce,
white ash, white oak, Douglas fir,
Western white pine and mahogany
were secured in the log for testing.
The spruce and ash logs were cut up
and the green material from each
species divided into three matched
groups. One group of each species
was tested green, another set aside
to be tested when it has air dried,
and the third group was kiln dried
Only the results of tests on the
spruce have as yet been analysed.
Comparison with standard tests
shows that Alaska spruce can be
kiln dried from the green condition,
with no more-perhaps less injury to
its mechanical properties than by
air seasoning. .-: "...
Definite specifications have been
prepared for kiln drying spruce
green from the saw, for airplane
construction.

Teachers Examination.

The next state examination for
teachers will be held March 80
and 81.
As this is the last examination
until, the middle of July, it will
be necessary for all teachers who
expect to teach in this county,
to take this examination.
No teacher can legally receive
pay for teaching, who has no con-
tract with the County Board of
Education. The Board cannot
sign a contract with a teacher
who has no certificate. The law
fixes a fine for the violation of
these regulations.
All applicants taking the ex-
animation, to receive a certificate
must take the entire examination.
This includes the Reading Circle.
Holders of five years, of perman-
ent certificate, in lieu of the ex-
animation in the Reading Circle,
may attend a term at some ac-
credited school. In this work
at least one course in education
must be accreditably done. This
is the instruction of the state
