ALASKA MINER SHOULD
 UNDERSTAND SIGNS OF

Ask the man who owns one" is a good sales slogan of one of the big automobile manufacturing con- panies. It indicates that the com pany has tried conscientiously to turn out a good product and that it takes pride in it's workmanship.
 During the past years the Alaska College has given mining short course training to about 150 men
 Many of these men have gone out and told their friends that this Short Course Training is worth the time and money spent. It is this word of mouth advertising that has drawn fresh supply of men for the mining short course each year. Not all of the men as a result of the training have been able to go out into the hills and in few weeks time discover valuable ore

There are no mystic secrets about the work rather just an honest attempt to make a man more effective in the hills and to train him to under stand the signs that nature has painted on the rocks. If, on the other hand, a discovery has been made and the man is developing small mine, there is much organ ized information available to him which will greatly increase his chances for success.
 There must be another 15O men in Alaska who have promised them selves that some year they were going to take this Short Course. Probably 20 will be at the College this year. They will act on the old but worthwhile slogan Do It now"
 This is to notify these men that the Short Course opens November 28 and also to assure them that a lack of previous education need not make feel them hesitant about starting the work. The Alaska Col

fessional operations for the decline were
relatively modest. Since the steel meet
ing, with its revelation of low earnings
for that corporation, the short account
has increased not only in the steel
stocks, but in the chemical, in the can,
agricultural and electrical issues.
One direction from which unexpected
improvement might come Is the steel
trade itself. The weekly trade reviews
were much more hopeful wednesday
than the market reflected. They even
took q more favorable view OF the &C
ton of the steel directors in maintain
ing wages, for the present, at least.
The rate Of operations for the industry,
as a whole, was reported per cent
higher, the first time there has been
an increase in months. Should this i'm
provement be extended next week, 1t
could hardly fail to have an effect mar
ketwise.
Breathing Spell Abroad.
It is rather futile to speculate about
the situation abroad. In Germany, so
far as can be seen from this side, the
main problem remains unsolved::
Whether the increase in the Bank Of
England rate will check the outflow Of
gold from London is still to be seen.
About the best that can be said Is that
there is q breathing spell and that the
stake is too large to permit OF anything
disastrous. At any rate, our markets
have been too busy with home affairs
this week to pay much attention to for
eign developments.
A phase Of the money situation de-
serves comment. According to figures
given out this week, total deposits in
the mutual savings banks as of July
were S9,e76,967, 98l, the largest on rec
ord. The average account is $75356.
against $745.2l q year ago. Some Of
this gain represents the increase Of saw
ings by depositors of small means, but
some alSo-how much 1t Is impossible to
say-represents large capital seeking
employment i'll the safest place possible
at time when the wages of capital
are meager in the extreme. The savings
banks do not want this business. They
we're not organized to take it. and they
make every tndeavor to avoid it, but 1t
comes by subterfuge. Deposits are made
in individual names, which are in
reality corporation funds. and by divid-
ing up the amount into many small lots
the object is gained. Reduction Of the
dividend rates by the savings banks IS
one method of hating this misuse Of
these institutions.
