al deposits into highly pro- fitable enterprises.
 Thus it is not difficult to understand the rapid swing from other commercial and industrial pursuits to gold recovery. It is not a boom in the understood sense of the term but, like scientific and industrial progress marking the peak of American pros perity following the war, the only agency thru which the standard of value e of the world may be increased save by tricks of tra d e which swings the gold supply of the word from nation to nation.
 It is herein that Alaska cannot fail to come into its own. There is hardly a hill which does not contain some gold, however how small in quantity. There are regions S o constituted geologically that they promise large ccm- mercial deposits under pre- sent methods.
 Therefore any advance ment in metallurgical science which serves to lessen the cost of production will be welcomed by the world as no other achievement could se- cure.

Alchemic Gold

Despite the advance of science, including the recent experiments by En gli S h scientists with the atom, and the claim that by eliminating one electron from mercury that gold results, it appears to be a far-distant possibili- Jy of making gold from other metals.
 In contrast to this highly interesting research, w h a t might be termed the direct action technologist is devot- ing his research to evolving more economic processes for recovering m e t allie gold from the earth.
 These process range from the primary. that of washing gold from the gravels, am- algamating wit h mercury, concentration of the metal lics on separating tables, fro thing and recovery by flo- .ation, and conversions thru transmitting the metallics in to gases and reprecipitating chem with reagents.
 It is claimed by eminent -netallurgists that, were it possible to recover the gold existent in ordinary sands, gravels and rocks far remov- ed from the source of the gold, and from sea water, where it has become soluble in the chlorides, there would De sufficient to make the metal secondary to ct h e r rare substances.
 The fact that a Denver. Colorado man has perfected a mechonical process which, it is claimed, saves 96 3-4 per cent of the gold, marks a step in advance along purely mechanical lines as they ap- ply to recovering metallic gold.
 Out of the World War came a deluge of scientific advancements r e l a t i n g to| mans comfort. health a II al material wealth. Out of the| w rid War of Depression there should be promise of discoveries which will over- night convert what are now considered n o n-commercial gold and other precious met

 Alaska'S salmon pack to the ev- ,ening of August 5, for all districts laggregated 3,894,951 cases, accord ing to figures in the Juneau Elm Ipire. Of this figure red salmon pre-

 Juneau'S ambulance service is proving itself of great value in many emergency cases where there lis no time to be lost in getting peo- pie under medical care. During the month of July eight calls were answered, most of them to take patients from boats or airplane. Three were pneumonia cases, two were broken legs, and one was an arm torn off at the shoulder.

 The party of farmers and their wives who recently visited South east Alaska had their ardor some what dampened by the continuous rains since they left Seattle but most of them took in all the scenics without being daunted by the down. pour. The time honored conception of farmers in Overalls and their wives in SunbonnetS suffered cruel blow, for these men and wo- men appeared as substantial bus mess men and women, as many of them were The farmers in the party were for the most part re- tired, although some of them took time out from active participation in crop raising The farmers tour is sponsored every year by the Ohio Farmer, magazine edited by Ray T. Hickey, of Cleveland, who was in charge of the vacationists.
