DR. BROOKSON
 ORE BODIES
 WILLOW GREEK

Dr. Alfred Brooks, head of the geo. logical survey in Alaska, furnished the Anchorage Times with a state. mcnt to the effect that the Willow creek district has everything to sup pose the assumption that it will de velop into a deep mine region.
 Dr. Brooks supports his findings with the statement that the veins are prolific and apparently deepseated, this being very pronounced in the schists. which are often pockety in other regions
 It is Dr Brooks opinion that the deep mine development work should be inaugurated at once. without fear Of not having ore. Heretofore owing to many operators being compelled to make the mines pay their way, it has been necessary to confine development to the upper zones where the ore shoots are very rich, and where opera tions may be conducted in summer and closed down in winter.
 Dr Brooks announcement is the most important yet made in connec, tion with quartz mining in southwest. ern Alaska and should have tremen- dous effect in hastening full develop. ment of this industry.
 Speaking of the oil situation Dr. Brooks said that in the absence of ex- posures of the encasing rocks it was impossible to more than approximate the situation.
 There is no denying the evidence Of petroleum somewhere in the val ley" said Dr Brooks, but the depth of the structure and the nature of the rocks must be determined before any positive statement can be made. As will be observed. the Kenai formation extends considerable distance up the valley. and this of recent origin and therefore is not calculated to encase large pools unless 1t is supermposed upon a marine formation carrying the structure for oil pools. From the evi- dence gathered it would appear that the seepages have come from some re- zion either just below or in the Renal. In places the Kenai is very shallow. and in others it is known to be some 2.OO0 feet thick. Upthrusts through this formation have produced the coal,
The Cordova daily times., 1921-10-07

and it Is possible, while will not say probable, that a horizon below the coal may be found to contain oil. These matters must be determined by the drill had hoped to carry out further research both in the Willow creek district and in the valleey with view to gathering data on the oil question, but am called to Juneau and may not be able to do anything further nere this summer"
 Dr. Brooks takes the stand of all technical men in regard to the oil possibilities of the valley, namely that the evidence of oil is here, but like mining. the value of the pool or deposit must he determined by devei' opment. The fact that marine fossils have been found is most encouraging in that 1t shows that there is a possi blity of marine strata underlying the more recent Kenai but this must he proven by the oil drill.

A special service was held at the
First Baptist church in Gardiner sun
day evening when Evangelist II. L..
stephens Of Glens Falls, n. Y. adj
dressed a large gathering from the
various churches OF Gardiner and
vicinity. The Evangelist stated that
the great need of the churches today
was the presence of the Spirit of God.
He took his text from the book OF
Numbers, showing that when the Is
raelites fell into idolatry, God with
drew His presence from their midst.
God said He would send His angels
but His presence would not go with
them. The Evangelist stated that
many churches of today are going on
in the idolatry Of their high notioned
preachers. their vested choirs. their
otherwise fine equipment. but fail to
realize the lack of Gods presence
among them. At the close Of his COM
vincing address an altar call was Civ
en-, when many sought the Lord.

The third annual Armistice Day
ball was held at the Town hall, Fri
day evening, November II. under the
auspices of the American Legion
Post, No. 40. and was successful both
socially and financially. The hall
was beautifully decorated with flags
and bunting and presented most
attractive appearance. Bacon's or
chestra furnished excellent music.
Some little excitement was caused
by slight blaze which caught near
the furnace and filled the hall with
smoke. 1t was extinguished with
little difficulty, but served to empha :
size the fact that the hall is still
without fire protection. AS this IS
the second similar occurance within
few weeks and schools are still in
session in the hall, it furnishes food
for serious thought on the part of the
towns people.
