[The Empire cheerfully glves this space
 to the following from the Alaska College for
 it ought to be known in Alaska mining
 munitiesl
 The man who is idle this winter or the man who has some timeto spare turn this time into profit to himself by taking the Mining Short Course which opens at the Alaska College November 28 and ccntinUss for period of ten weeks. This work is so arranged that those who not give full time to the work can take subjects in which they particularly interested
 The man who completes the ten weeks course will have a good rudimentary knowledge of quartz mining An elementary in geology will teach him to identify the rocks and to be able understand the relationship of various types of ore deposits with the different formations The various gold mining districts in Alaska will be studied from the standpoint of the prospector and guides will be given which will aid the prospector to do more effective work in the hills.
 In mneralogy he will be taught to recognize at sight about fifty of the more common ore minerals and will be trained to the blowppe for the Identification of the difficult minerals
 In mining work he will be taught how to make a compass survey of tunnels and mining claims He will also be taught how in the absence of compass, to use ordinary powder box for running rough survey lines along a mine tunnel. Different methods of mining will be discussed and the man who has not had practical experience will be taken into the experimental mine on the campus and given opportunity to use under actual condi- tions air compressors rock drills and different types of explosives
 The dressing work will be practical laboratory training in such common problems cleaning black sands. stamp milling and amagamation of gold ores cyandation and fotat!on Of base ores; also gravity concentration with tables and jlgs. In this the student does the work with his hands. He is shown how to distinguish between free-millng and base ores and is guided in the selection of proper machinery for small mills.
 The who owns his property and desires to be able to assay for gold and silver will enjoy the work in fire assaying During the the student makes 20 or more asays for gold and silver in and is trained in the mining Of fluxes and the op eraton of the furnace.
 There is generally gasoline engine two forming part Of the equipment of every small mine Students who want to be able to handle balky engine are taken into the motors laboratory and introduced to the internal anatomy of gas engine Here they receive training in such practical things as adjusting the carburetor timing engine, grind ing valves etc
 The total cost for books and equipment used is about s25.
 Men living in the vicinity of Fairbanks are in with Dean Patty about this work Those from out of town who planning to take work should write n at once and make dormitory reservations. Board and room at the College Dormitory is s55 per month.
 Only one short course in mining will be given this year. This is interesting and worth the time

BLAZE DESTROYS
BUSINESS BLOCK
IN CALPATRlA

Fire Of undetermined origin COM
pletely destroyed an entire business
block in Calipatria shortly after
midnight last night, causing a loss
estimated to be between $4,000 and
$4,000, most of which is believed
covered by insurance.
Business places destroyed include
the Tate Mercantile company, Ware
apartments, the post office and the
SafeWay store.
The fire apparently started in the
space between the ceiling and the
roof in the rear of the Tate COM
pany, and had been burning long
time before it was discovered.
The flames spread swiftly and it
was apparent they were too much
for the Calipatria department to
handle alone. A call for help was
sent to Brawley and the equipment
from that city started for Calipat
ria. Enroute the engine burned out
a bearing and it was impossible for
it to reach the scene of the fire.
