 Make Personal Inspections
 MT Stewart, himself, will person ally make periodical inspections of all mines in the Territory, taking over the duties performed by B. W. Dyer. former Federal Mine Inspector. The latter was a presidential ap- pointment rather than a representa- tive of the Bureau of Mines and that position has been abolished and the duties put directly under the bureau.
 Norman L. Wimmler is the placer mining expert of the bureau, said Mr. Stewart. He is now in the Sew ard Peninsula district and later will cover the Marshall and Ruby dis trfcts. proceeding to Fairbanks about the close of navigation. He will study mining operations and methods in all districts of the Territory and when his work is completed com piete report will be issued from the data assembled He has a wide ex- perierce in placer mines. including tin placer workings on the Malay Peninsula
 At the Fairbanks Mining Experi- ment Station the same staff will be maintained. John A. Davis, head of the station for several years, will remain there as superintendent.
 First Aid instruction
 instruction in first aid work will be carried into all parts of the Ter ritory, said Mir. Stewart. J. J. Della hide will be in charge of this activ- ity. He arrived here last week from the South and was formerly attached to one of the service cars operating out of Reno. Nev. Mir Delahide will begin his work at the Willow Creek mines. Tt is our aim not only to give instruction in first aid at the larger mines and camps, but in the small ones" said Mir Stewart. "It is hoped to train miners in every dis trict in first aid work"

Through arrangements with the Navy Department, Capt. W. p. T.

Captain Hdll, as geologist for the Navy Al aska Coal Commission. said Mir. Stew. art, did particularly valuable work in connection with the complicated sruation at the Chickaloon mines and his services will be of great benefit to the private operators. Captain Hill is now convalescent in a Cordova hospital following an oper. afion for appendicitis. He was stricken while in the Boring River coal field aiding the Bering River Coal Company get out 500 tons of coal for Navy steaming test. His place there was taken by J. A. Davis from the Fairbanks station. The latter will return to Fairbanks when the work is finished and Captain Hill Will return to the Matanuska field.
