The Mining Industry in the Territory of Alaska: During the Calendar Year 1916 (open access)

The Mining Industry in the Territory of Alaska: During the Calendar Year 1916

From Introduction: "The year 1916 broke all previous records of mineral production in the Territory. As a consequence, there has been a noteworthy increase in the number of mines in active operation or under development, though the greater part of the increased output is the result of greater activity at mines already producing rather than of opening new mines.The Territorial inspector covered the districts from Fairbanks to Nome and the Federal Inspector covered those of southeastern and southwestern Alaska."

Pat-Ike

An inscription at the bottom of the photograph reads "Pat--Ike." The "Ike" presumably refers to Ike Zablosky, who came from Russia to Philadelphia in 1890. He and his wife, Fanny Jaffee, later moved to Mineral Wells for health reasons where he became involved in the fur-and-hide business. Zablosky once described the northwest part of Palo Pinto County as a "'Possum kingdom"; hence the first flood-control lake on the Brazos River was named Possum Kingdom Lake. (The story is that it was named that by president Franklin Roosevelt himself.) Zabloski sponsored a local baseball team. He bought a Texas League franchise when it became available after he moved to Dallas. It was to become Dallas' first professional baseball team. He pioneered the founding of city farm teams and acted as umpire and coach. The man on the left side is Pat Moran, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Moran managed the Reds from 1919-1923.

The Wet Thiogen Process for Recovering Sulphur from Sulphur Dioxide in Smelter Gases: A Critical Study (open access)

The Wet Thiogen Process for Recovering Sulphur from Sulphur Dioxide in Smelter Gases: A Critical Study

From Introduction: "A critical study of the wet Thiogen process for extracting sulphur from smoke of smelters is one of several investigations related to the general smelter-smoke problem that are being conducted under direction of the Bureau of Mines. Work on the Thiogen process was started again in January, 1916, in the laboratories of the new mining experiment station at Berkeley, Cal., and was continued during the spring of 2016 until a point was reached where it was felt that the essential parts of the process had been carefully covered, and that some definite statements concerning the technical features and possibilities of the process, as given in this report, were warranted."
