Alaskan Talk Given Geologists
An outline of his travels in Alaska the past summer was presented to geology club members, recently by Earl Nixon, geologist for the state geological survey.
Mr. Nixon spent a three-month leave of absence from his duties with the geological survey. He re-examined and evaluated iron and limestone deposits in the southern Yukon district and southeastern Alaska.
Mr. Nixon also noted that many industrial movements have started in the Alaskan area. He said that hydroelectric power possibilities in southeastern Alaska were excellent, but that development hinges on the market for the product.
"The Aluminum Company of America is making surveys near Skagway, Alaska for a 200 million dollar hydroelectric development, presumably for the reduction of aluminum ores," Mr. Nixon said. "However, the project, which has the hearty approval of the U.S. department of interior and the Canadian government, is only in the thinking stage as yet."
"My trip was in line with the trend among the larger mining companies to scrutinize mineral deposits all over the world." Mr. Nixon said. "This is due to the changing world politics and mineral economics."
A common feeling in Alaska is that the lumber industry has a great future, but there is some doubt. Mr. Nixon added, "Quality of the lumber is not as good as that in Oregon and Washington and it's a long way from the market."
Mr. Nixon spent two months in southeastern Alaska living on a chartered boat. He moved from island to island in his examination of more than 30 deposits.
"The annual precipitation in Alaska is 156 inches." Mr. Nixon said. "You don't worry whether of not it's going to rain if you have something planned, you know it's going to. We had three sunny days in June, three in July, and eight in August. That sunny period in August was considered 'unusual' by the natives.
"Travel in the interior of the islands is difficult because of the heavy undergrowth. Forest fires have not cleaned out the dead trees and brush and everything is moss-covered, wet and slimy."
The economics of the coastal region of Alaska are "geared to the fishermen," Mr. Nixon said.
No "accidents or incidents" happened to Mr. Nixon or his party while on the research expedition.

November 1, 1949 To The Students of the University of Kansas:
Through the means of this open letter, the Society of Pachacamac wishes to print the truth about recent disturbances over A.S.C. salaries.
Salaries for A.S.C. members were first brought up two years ago by that council but no action was taken.
They were brought up a second time by Robert Bennett, the last presidential nominee of the old Independent Men's party, when he left office as ASC treasurer last spring.
The highly-disputed bill for salaries was introduced by the same Robert Bennett. In the regular two-week waiting period between first reading and final voting on ASC bills there was no comment made by students to ASC members. This occurred despite the fact that proportional representation allows everyone, even minority students, representation on the council; and the bill was printed in the Kansan two weeks before final vote. At the second meeting the bill met with normal pro and con discussion and was passed. Ernie Friesen, the target of much criticism, did not vote on the bill nor did he have anything to do with its introduction.
The above is true and can be verified by the minutes of the meeting which are in the possession of Wilma Shore, ASC secretary, who lives at Corbin Hall.
The Society of Pachacamac respects the wishes of the student body, and reminds the "discontented few" that the present council is in office by virtue of the mandate of commanding majorities in the last general election. These representatives continue to represent the wishes of those who originally elected them. The ASC salaries bill is the contribution of one who is not affiliated with the society but, regardless of that, the Society takes a stand in this freshman election in order to find true student opinion.
When Pachacamac discovers the majority trend and feeling, it shall, as in the past, act accordingly. We say, "Competency deserves compensation."
The Society of Pachacamac
