Territorial Department of Mines here is the headquarters for uran- ium-hunting in Alaska. But the Department doesnt encourage stampedes. For that reason, news ;ummum finds in Alaska | fidential. But the interest of prospectors in the new treasure-hunt is great, ac- cording to B. D. Stewart, Depart-| of all e con- | ment of Mines Chief. | Being a new treasure, prospectors are not acquainted with the meth- ods of searching for it. The Atomic | Energy Commission and the Geo- | logical Survey realized that, and a|{ | little book has been published for | prospectors. The Territorial Department of | Mines—offices here, in Ketchikan. | Anchorage, Fairbanks and Nome—| i has the books for sale for 30 cents. It's an interesting little book, pocket-size co prospectors can carry ! |it with_ them. | Although the main purpose of | the book is to instruct miners who are searching for the metal, it is an anti-stampede measure, For it takes the mystery out of the new element and brings 3t down to the prospectors’ earth. It gives simple instructions on how to search for uranium; tells} {what are uranium kearing min- | erals and where to look for them; | how to test them; and if they prove | | to be worth while, how to sell the | minerals. | It makes uranium just another | element which a prospector may | run onto in his search for precious {and useful metal | | When prospectors ghave followed | | instructions and found what they think to be a valuable deposit of | uranium-bearing ore, they can send | their samples to offices of the | Territorial Department of Mines, where the ore will be tested with Ia highly. sensitive Geiger counter | | —one much more able to determine the actual amount of radioactive material than the field-type (-umvri used by prospectors. | And the Department will |out such ores as seem to deserve it i to the Atomic Energy Commlmmnl |to get full information on their' | nature and value. And added together all this amounts to what Department Chief | Stewart terms, “greatest service to| | both public and prospector through | accurate appraisal of the value of ( a deposit . being encouraging ! while keeping everyone's feet on the ground.” FOOD SALE Martha Society at Sears Order | office, Friday, Sept. 23, 11 a. m. 32t | freighter Edmond Mallet | George vorce 1 I send PAGE THREE BIG CARGO CANNED FISH BOUND SOUTH SEATTLE, Sept. 21.—#- Th 1'l will ar- Southeast one of the| hauls | rive here Friday from Alaska after making largest fish pack ever | undertaken by an Alaska Stm\m-i ship Company vessel, company of- ficials reported.
