QUESTIONS ON pR0SpECTING
 ARE ANSWERED
Department of Mines Is- sues Report 10 Guide
 Future Mineral Hunters

In answer to numerous questions on prospecting in Alaska from per sons unfamiliar with conditions that would be met in carrying on q search for mineral deposits in the Territory. the Department of Mines has just issued a paper, Prospecting in Alaska" written and compiled by R. L. Stewart.
 The report, according to B. D. Stewart, Commissioner of Mines, is designed to answer as briefly and completely as possible the questions common to those unfamiliar with mining conditions in Alaska.
 Prospecting is alluring to the type of individual who loves the rugged life of the open and the gamble at long odds for possible
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-01-03

high stakes, the report tells the questioner. There are instances on record where the discovery of one commercial mineral deposit has resulted in it's owner becoming fin ancially independent for life.
 Prospecting Tough Game
 But, warns Stewart, a person who is unwilling to accept hard ships, arduous toll and disappoint ments should choose some occupa- ton other than prospecting.
 One of the prerequisites of the potential prospector is a knowledge of geology and mineralogy. A number of important discoveries have seemingly been the result of pure luck, but knowledge of mining is desirable This can be found in a number of good non-technical books or through courses at some 
 With 5988 men employed in the mining industry of Alaska during 194l, mineral production was esti- mated at S26 79l 900. Other than gold, production included silver, platinum, coal, lead, tin, antimony, tungsten, copper and limestone.
 Free assaying service on these is available to prospectors at assay offices located at Ketchi- kan, Anchorage, College and Nome.

NAVAL COMMANDER
 OF WESTERN FRONT IS KILLED IN CRASH

PARIS, Jan. 3--Adm. Sir Bert ram Ramsey, 6l. Allied Naval Com rlander in Chief on the Western Front was killed "in an accident" while, flying to a conference in Bel sium, Supreme Headquarters said.
 Sir Bertram, who planned the naval phases of the landings in Western France, as well as those in the North African and Mediterran- can operations, was the second AL lied commander lost in an air crash. Two months ago Air Chief, Marshal Leigh Mallory, head of the Allied aerial forces, was reported missingI while enroute to a new station in the Southeast Asia Command.
 Sir Bertram engineered the Dun kerque rescue of 385 OOO British and French soldiers in l940.

hAzI CASUALTY
 FIGURES TOLD
By ROGER D. GREENE Associated Press Correspondent

ON THE WESTERN FRONT, Jan. 3.-German casualties of the winter offensive are estimated unofficially tonight at 60,000. The official esti- mate put the number of German prisoners at 10000 Four hundred tanks are believed to have been knocked out.
 The estimate of prisoners is for the first 16 days of yon Rundstedt's attack, while the total casualty fig ures is for the whole operation to date. The counter offensive began December 16.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-01-03

Financing another big ques tion--iS treated early in the re- port. Pro b ably the minimum amount required for ordinary pick shovel and pan method of pros lpecting in the more accessible re- gions would be from $750 to $l,000 which would include transportation and supplies for a period of ap- Iproximately six months
 Reserve Fund Needed
 A reserve fund should be avail able from which to draw in case no employment is available at the close of the mining season. For tunate indeed would be the pros- pector, says Stewart, who could in one season, locate deposit suf- ficiently rich in yield returns to finance future work.
 Transportation alone into the more remote and isolated sections of the Territory might reach near the amounts mentioned above
 No Governmental or Territorial financial assistance is at present available for prospecting in Alaska. REC loans may be obtained under certain conditions for developing prospects already located, but the requirements are difficult to full fill.
 Grub stalking Discouraged
 Grub-staking, whereby a group of persons or an individual fur nishes funds for the venture usual ly for a 50 per cent interest, is discouraged by Stewart. Many chances for sale or lease of prop erty under favorable terms have been lost on account of disagree ment among partners or stock holders
 Stewart is enthusiastic in relat- ing present opportunities for find ing of minerals as compared with early days. The prospector who roamed Alaska in the early days knew his business and prob ably discovered most of the surface or easilyfound deposits in the areas prospected. On the other hand, most of those old-timers were interested primarily in gold and may have overlooked deposits of equally as important and as valu- able.
 There is also the possibility that recent recession of glaciers, snow and land slides, floods and other agents of erosion have disclosed outcroppings previously undiscov- cred. Modern air transportation, too, is playing it's part in making heretofore practically inaccessible areas available to the prospector
 Locating
 The law, briefly, requires the dis covery of a vein or lode in place prior to locating a lode claim, the discovery of mineral within it's borders before locating a placer claim. The dimensions of a lode claim are 1,50O feet by 600 feet, and there is no limit to the number of lode claims that may be To- cated. Placer claims may be 1920 feet by 660 feet. The limit on placer claims is two per person per calendar month.
 Stewart also gives a brief out line of some of the noteworthy features of the various sections of Alaska Best procedure for choice of district for prospecting is to spend some time in the Territory meeting and obtaining suggestions from as many mining men and prospectors as possible, according to Stewart.
