STUDENTS BACK IN JUNEAU FOR
 XMAS HOLIDAYS

Christmas at home is the bright prospect for many Juneau students who have been away at school. They are arriving on steamers from the South and West, the largest group coming from school in Seattle.
 Those remaining in school are looking forward to happy times with classmates and relatives and will join in the gay festivities for the younger set similar to those at home
 Arriving on the steamer Yukon, Miss Helen Beistline, daughter of MT. and Mrs R. H. Beistline, will spend Christmas visiting in Juneau. She has been attending business college in Seattle and will leave for Washington State College after the holidays.
 Miss Vivian Gruber, who has been enrolled in business school in Seat tie, returned to Juneau on the Yu- kon to remain here with her par ents, MT. and Mrs. E. L. Gruber.
 Attending her first year at the University of Washington, Miss Olga Paul returned to the Capital City this morning on the steamer Yukon. She will spend the holiday season with her parents, MT and Mrs. Sam Paul, returning to the University early next month.
 Young Bob Phillips, son of Su- perintendent of Juneau Public Schools, A. B. Phillips, was another arrival on the Alaska Steamship boat. He has been attending school in Seattle.
 To spend the Yule season with friends and relatives here, Miss Katherine Torkelson arrived in Ju neau this morning on the Yukon. She has been attending business school in Portland.
 George Danner son of MT. and Mrs. George Danner, was passen- ger this morning on the North Coast. He has been studying aeronautical engineering in Los Angeles, and flew from that city to Seattle in a new Bellanca seaplane for Bob Ellis in Ketchikan.
 A student at the University of Washington Miss Jean Taylor came to Juneau this morning on the Yu- kon. She will spend. Christmas with her parents, MT. and Mrs. Ike P. Taylor.
 Miss Jeanette Stewart and Tom Stewart, son and daughter of MT. and Mrs B. D. Stewart, were ar rivals on the Yukon today. Students at the University of Washington, they were accompanied by class mate, Bob Van Rattshoven of The Netherlands, who will spend the Yule season in Juneau with them
 After an absence of several years, Charles Talmage, who has been working in Wenatchee, Wash, arr rived here on the steamer Yukon. He plans to spend the holidays with his parents, MT and Mrs. K. c. Tal- mage.
 Earl Beistline, last years graduate from the University of Alaska, ar rived last week from the Westward to spend the holidays in Juneau with his parents.

matical formulate The physical
properties of mineral. rock and ore
samples were, therefore, carefully
investigated and accurately measur-
ed At the same time countless
experiments were carried out on
small scale models in which diff
ferent geological conditions, and
combinations of conditions, were
duplicated, and the geophysical
phenomena, thus artificially repro
duced, were studied. Methods,
which functioned perfectly in these
experiments. were developed as we'll
as criteria for the Interpretation
of the results obtained by their use
However, when the scene of expert
mentation was transferred to the
field very perplexing results were
often obtained and considerable
experimental work on rocks and
ores in their natural states was
necessary before the reason for the
anomalous geophysical reactions
became apparent
THE highly accurate determine
ticn of the physical properties of
minerals and mineral ordinations,
carried out upon specimens in la
boratories, were discovered to be
misleading for the purpose of ap-
piled geophysics. Such measure
ments stress the physical contrasts
between various materials beyond
the limits actually occurring in the
field
I'm practice, the physical proper
ties of minerals and rock samples
are of considerably less Importance
than those of whole rock forma-
tions; the accuracy of individual
property determinations is less i'm
portant than a large number of APP
proximations which give good av-
erage values for rock masses as
they occur in nature. Until recent
times, the study of the physical
properties of large geological units,
in place, has been difficult to ac-
complish."

GOLD ON NINE NILE

MISUNDERSTANDING to Ken
meth Sanders. engineer of the
Nine Mile road project, six miles
east of here, evidences OF gold
were discovered in the test holes
dug to determine the cause of the
slide occurring there over a week
ago. On digging the 40-foot holes
a layer of clay was found which
covered gravel. This gravel rested
on bedrock The men brought out
some of the gravel and when
washed. small pieces of gold were
found. One man discovered a good
sized nugget.

Until recently prospecting for
ore deposits has mostly been car
ried out by magnetic and electrical
methods, but new improvements
have made it possible to adapt also
the principles of seismic and CRAWL
metric methods. Under favorable
conditions, it is now quite possible
to calculate the approximate mass
of an ore body and thus. particularly
# the body is partly developed,
known by a few test pits or drill
holes, an approximate idea of the
tonnage can be obtained.
Mr.. Lunrberg gave a comparison
Of the methods used by biologists
and geophysicists THE fields of
geophysics and geology overlap to
a considerable extent" he stated
THE former is primarily concerned
with the physical properties of
rocks and minerals and the study
of these phenomena also constitutes
a large part of the latter. How
ever, the geologist is concerned
only with the physical properties
of rocks and minerals which mani
fest themselves to his eyes: in this
respect he may be regarded as a
highly specialized type of geophy
sicist. The scope of his work is
confined to his range of vision, al
though he may extend it's limits by
means of the microscope and by such
extensive expedients as drilling,
test-pitting and stripping Among
the tools of his profession are the
hand lens, microscope, transit and
level, compass and plane-table.
THE geophysicists, on the other
hand, investigate the magnetic,
electrical and elastic properties of
rocks and minerals as well as their
densities. These properties have
no visible physical manifestations
but their characteristics may be
studied by means of suitable meth
DDS to varying, and often consider
able, depths beneath the land sur
face. The apparatus used in this
work consists of various types of
magnetometers, electrical instru-
ments, seismographs and gravime-
ters as well as devices to create or
induce artificial energy fields and
to propagate impulses within the
ground
"At first it was thought that, by
adequate experimentation, and the
amassing of sufficient information,
geophysics could be developed into
an exact science and as a conse-
quence, the correct Interpretation
of geophysical anomalies observed
in the field could be determined by
the application of suitable mathe-
