well as the county commissioners with
reference to full cash value. As it is
the peculiar province of the state board
to adjust these matters as between the
counties, we are forced to take into
consideration both under and over val
uation and we could not makeNin all
things an upward raise, therefore,
when we came to investigate the re-
suits of our labors we found that we
have reached about IS per cent of the
full cash value of the taxable property
of the state.
.'The total value of all the assessed
property of the state as equalized by
the state board is $41S,420, 7SO.O5 as
against $329,7S4, 7S1.11 in 1911. 1t

1t is a we'll known fact that here

could be wider of the mark. 1t is the
prime function and chief aim and
|object! or the bureau Of fisheries to
aid the fishing interests and iraug ar
ate exploration along lines which will
result, eventually, in the further ek-
pansion Of the industry. The conseri
yation and outstanding tof the! fish
cries is believed in to the extent of
permitting a, sufficient number of fish
to reacn the spawning grounds to
prevent decrease in the future sup
ply, Let the fisherman OF today nave
the surplus. This is believed to be
a wise application of the principles
of conservation But, to attain, this
end it is necessary to have the CO.
operation of the fishing interests and
the careful observance at all times
of the fisheries laws and regulations.
Sit is. probable that this winter
congress will make certain additions
to the present Alaska fisheries laws.
Among, the more important features
under consideration Is the licensing
and regulation of fish trap sites. The
present law is quite deficient on this
point. Among other additions it is
proposed that the government shall
operate all hateheries. The ufesent
private Ibatehefies under this ar
rangement would be taken over at a
fair valuation. Another provision is
that at the end of a certain term of
years. the manufacture of OIL from
edible fish shall be unlawful. Tn re

COPPER PROPERTIES
SHOWING UP WELL

Stephen Birch, general manager of
the Kennecott Mines Company, has
just returned to Kennecott from a
trip through the Kuskalina district
He states there is large amount
of development work going on. and
tnat number of the prospects have
excellent showings. A lot OF work.
however, is held back this year on ac-
count of the shortage of labor, prac-
tically every camp he visited being
short of men.
The Great Northern Development
at Copper Mountain has over 40 men
employed. At this plant they are u.s.
ing electric drills. and the tunnels are
electric lighted. There is a good sys-
tenn of fans; work is progressing at a
rapid rate.
The same company has 20 men
working on the Kotsina, where the
same kind of equipment is used.
The Alaska Consolidated has a
force of men under Engineer lies

Mr.. W. J. Holden, who organized

attorney, George Love, of Valdez,
have just made trip to the property
and claim to be we'll satisfied with
the showing and state that they have
arranged to furnish Mr.. Berg with a
compressor and air drills. These, in
addition to the boiler will be freight
ed in as soon as the snow puts the
trail in good condition. A new trail
is being constructed from this prop
erty to the railroad at Mile 1853,
which shortens the distance from Is
to 8 miles, besides furnishing a bet
ter grade. The old route went from
Mile 146, to the foot of Clear creek
canyon and across the Kuskalina
river in front of the glacier. And not
alone was it nearly double the dis
lance, but at certain times of the
year, was really dangerous on &C

Skagway's famous Castle Kern,
celebrated as the only Swiss chalet in
Alaska, is no more. The historic old
landmark which was built during

by forest fire that also consumed
hundreds of cords of wood and did
other irreparable damage in the Lynn

MINING DEAL AT PORT WELLS

Another Port Wells mining deal
has been consummated by which the
Mammoth group often claims, sta
ated on BEETLES bay and owned by
Husky King, Jack, Riley, L.. Me-
Clair and George Herman. to British
Columbia capitalists whom a mining
engineer, Mr.. Davis, represents.
The deal made is very similar to
that entered into between Herman
and Eaton with Mr.. Everman. by
by which the parties receiving the
bond are within 35 days to begin
work developing the property by
sinking and drifting. The work must
be continued uninterruptedly9 and
such machinery as may be necessary
from time to time in the course of
opening up the properties must be
emplaced upon the ground capable
of handling 30 tons of ore per day.
