be open wide. If the ashpit damper
on your furnace is in back, open
it and also the ashpit door in
front. This assures maximum
draft and quick ignition.
When the kindling is burning
well, add fresh coal gradually. In
this way you get deep fire in
little time-the kindling burning
the coal beneath it, and the fire,
in turn, igniting the coal above it.
From time to time, add additional
fuel until you have a solid, deep
fire. When this is done, check
your hampers and close the ash
pit door.

FAIRBANKS, Nov. IT, - Sov- jet pilot Graciansky and crew of four, took off from here about nine am. today, or 8 am. Nome time, for Providence Bay, on the Siberian coast opposite Nome, with the Soviet giant Sikorsky amphibian plane, enroute to Mos COW.
 They expect to make the flight from Fairbanks to Providence Bay in six and half hours.
 The plane will sit down at Nome if the weather is unfavorable across the Boring Straits.
 The big Soviet plane came here two weeks ago for recondition- ing, after eight polar flights made out of Point Barrow in search of the missing Levanefsky plane.

SEES PLATINUM MARKET
 UPSET BY ALASKA'S OUTPUT

The platinum production from Alaska in 1889 stands fair chan ce of upsetting the world market, E. A. Rasmussen, president of the Bank of Alaska, said recently in Anchorage, in commenting on the activity in the Goodnews Bay sec tion.
 ,'The production this year will be much larger than last" MT. Rasmuson said: Late this fall the Goodnews Bay Mining Com pany will have its huge dredge ready for operation. It will pro- bably be too late in the season for production this year. Tn 1888 the platinum taken out from Alaska will increase greatly over the current year when the large dredge is operated. In l939 when the dredge is operating at UOP NdpdSltS dlld Pl mounts still further, the tremen- dous volume of platinum coming from Alaska may upset the world market
 Platinum mining is one of the younger industries of Alaska Starting a few years ago on a small scale,the production attract ed little attenton outside of the Territory.
 In the past most of the platinum of the world came from the Ural mountains in Russia. Later de- posits were found in South Amer ica and Borneo.
 Indications are that Alaska will rank high on the list of the plati- mum producers once operations are operating at scheduled speed in the Goodnews Bay district.
