DR.p. S. SMITH IS SpEA R
 AT CHAMBER
Importance of Mineral Re- sources of NorthIand Is
 Stressed by GeoIogist

Importance of the mineral re- sources of Alaska during the pres ent times of stress throughout the country was emphasized by Dr. Philip Sidney Smith, Chief Alaskan Geologist for the United States Geological Survey, in brief talk to the Juneau Chamber of Com merce at noon today.
 He outlined in a broad manner the strategic mineral exploratory work being done throughout the Territory this year by the U.S.G.S and the United States Bureau of Mines and explained that the re- suits will be more detailed and spe cific information regarding t th e mineral resources of the country than has ever before existed.
 Practically all of the earth's pro- ducts are now of military impor- tance, even sand and gravel" Dr Smith said. The 25-odd parties that have been scattered through various areas where previous ex- ploration has indicated the presence of minerals are now obtaining qpantitative figures so as to pro- vide specific information regarding all mineral resources of Alaska. Fol lowing the investigative work of the Geological Survey the Bureau oi Mines performs the next step by proving up quantitatively on in formation obtained by our men There is little duplication in the work done by the two organizations as the Geological Survey explora- tion is investigative and that of the Bureau of Mines is a step toward putting deposits into production, he stated.
 In picking areas for this mineral exploration an effort has been made to use practical values, such as east of development, cost of production and transportation, Dr. Smith said For these reasons the accessible de. posits are given preference. Tn this respect Southeast Alaska is favor. ably located because of the protect

ed water transportation available, and the abundance of water power for development purposes. There also exists in Southeast Alaska a wide variety of minerals of strate- gic importance to our government and you will be seeing a great deal of our men.
 Residents of the Territory also have an obligation in this regard which is to furnish all possible in- formation regarding mineral de- posits to the Geological Survey so that we may obtain an inventory of all resources that might come into the national picture during these times of stress" Dr. Smith con- cluded.
 Other Guests
 Other guests introduced at the well attended meeting today were Dr. Langdon White, Dr. George Hays. Sam Cavanaugh, R. R. Rea- gan, and Hartman deMers. All &C., knowledged their introduction with brief comments.
