ASSESSMENT WORK

Judge Thomas H. Lyons, formerly United States district judge at Juneau, says former Delegate James Wicker sham is wrong when he says the res olution passed by congress abrogat- ing for 1917 and 1918 the requirement that assessment work be done on un- perfected mining claims does not ap- ply to Alaska. A letter from Judge Hayden of Seward. who is manager Of company holding claims on kenai peninsula. says his company was alarmed by the declaration of Judge Wickorsham. and he asked Judge Ly- Ons for an opinion on the subject. He writes that Judge Lyons after look. ing up the facts and the law, gave it as his opinion that there is no ques- tion that Alaska claim holders do not have to do assessment work, and that they may rest in absolute assurance that their rights will be safe if they comply with the requirements of the resolution Nenana News.

THE BIOLOGIST VERSUS THE
 MINING ENGINEER

All throughout the history of min ing in Alaska the government geolo- gist has played very important part. Many of tn" big discoveries that have been made resulted directly from fol lowing the advice offered by govern m"nt men There ar" many who have been loath to give the technical men th .r'li'. but the great majority oi tn" leading mining men bacl, up th" records and credit such men as Dr. Alfred II. Brooks with having called the turn on most of the camps in the interior of Alaska. Such men have become exceedingly popular with the intelligent prospector, be- cause of the knowledge that they pos s"ss anl their willingness to pass on

their opinions to those who are work ing to find the minerals. The major ity of the present-day miners and pros peCtors wish that there might be more men of the same caliber placed in Alaska. that more discoveries might be made.
 They would help to locate the pay dirt. and in this way give invaluable service to the prospectors. But after the discoveries have been made the mining ground becomes an all-impor- tant part of the game. and how many have met with failure at this stage because of the excessive costs of their mining venture. They have found that mining in the best way that they still far exceeded the value of the products. In this way the need of q man who is well vcrscd in the modern and most efficient methods of mining has been borne in upon them. Tn" geOlOgist may have told them of the formation, but they also need the ad- vice of the expert in mining methods before they are ready to carry on pay ing operations At this point the min ing engineer would come in and would prove his worth. Not only is he as well trained in practical field geology as the regular member of the United States Geological Survey, but further, he is trained in the various methods of mining. the best ways of treating various kinds of ground. and COnsc- quently would be of much greater ma tcrial aid to the prospector and would be miner than is the plain gcologist. There is a field for both. but the min ing engineer is eminently well fitted for this particular country at this time.
 The geologist usually works for either universities or the government. but the great majority Of the gradu ates of the mining engineering schools go to work for private corporations at salaries much in excess of those paid by the government or the universities. This very fact demonstrates their practical value in mining districts. but il shows that it would cost the gov ernment more to send them here than it would to send the geologist. If the government can be induced to send expert mining engineers to Alaska, with all the assistance that they may need. the people of Alaska may well feel that one of the greatest possible aids has been rendered to tn" terri tory by the United States government. And the hopeful part of it all is that there is every reason to think that they will be sent, and in the not far distant future. too

Spring improvements.

The difference between a bright
cheerful looking town, and discour-
aged, seedy appearing one, is largely
house paint. A town may be built of
expensive houses and business struc-
lures. But if the paint becomes worn
and dirty, the town has an air of de-
caycd and has-been elegance. Where
buildings are kept painted, the town
looks like place where confidence
and enterprise exist.
Of course many people feel that the
cost of labor and materials for paint
ing is 50 high that they can't afford
it. But many good authorities say
that prices of all kinds have moved
permanently to higher level, includ-
ing cf course painting materials and
labor. The man who postpones a
needed painting job on the hope of get
ting lower price, is likely to wait
some time. And while he is waiting.
he Is encouraging his neighbors and
the community to give a constant i'm
preston of shabbiness and dilapida-
ton. Also buildings deteriorate fast
when worn paint fails to give protec-
ton from weather.
A good many people, in these days

paint their own buildings. They may

With the generous cooperation
of the edit 0rs the campaign has
already succeeded and it's contin-

greater prosperity-of better
herds, better farms better homes

Citizens Of the state will new

much they owe the editors Of its

Development of its industries.
Without their generous support

never have developed into the

center which she is today.
