WASHINGTON Nov. 22-Dr. Alfred H. Brooks Chief of the Alaska Bureau of the United States Geological Survey for the past twenty years, died here today. He had been i'll for months. He was e4 years old.
 Some years ago in speech, Dr. Brooks said that he had never been given a degree of doctor by institution of learning, that the title conferred upon him by the University of Rough necks' of Alaska. And he added that he appre- ciated it more than any college degree that migh. be rendered him.
 Although he might have been promoted to be chief of the whole geological survey years ago. Dr. Brooks preferred to remain with the Alaska work He felt that he knew Alaska. and he loved it and therefore preferred to work with his friends "the roughnecks than to occupy a swivel chair in Wash. ington It has been said by eminent engineers that Dr.. Brooks knew more of the mineral resources of Alaska than any living man.
 During the World War, pr. Brooks chief geologst of the American Expedtionary forces in France. He was first commissioned Captain in 1917 and in October 1918 he promoted to be a Lieutenant Colonel. Also he was chief geolo- gist of the American delegation which went to the Peace Conference with President Harding.
 Dr. Brooks born at Ann Arbor, Michigan, July IS. 1871. He studied in Germany and later at Harvard University. Since 1898. he has been assistant geologist of the Federal Bureau Since 1909 he has been in charge of the Alaska division and in that time prospector miner rich poor. ever failed to receive helpful suggestions from Dr. Brooks. He always pleased to have Alaskans consult him about their mining and geo. logical problems and they had entire confidence fin his judgment.-Exchange
