 The total pack of Alaska salmon last season aggregated 2,821,317 cases, valued at about s14. .83O,932, or the sang- est pack recorded in the past ten years.
 Ira E. Tucker, Frank Howe and c. P Hilton, Montana ranchers, after spend. ing some time at Juneau, announce that Southeastern Alaska is only good to raise goats.
 Anyhow Alaska got-fourth place as gold producer in 1911. Given the right kind of government and Alaska will take first place every year for some time to come.-Ex.
 An output of .S5,OOO,eoo in placer gold and about S500OOO in quartz from the Fairbanks district next spring is the prediction made by Louis K. Pratt, an attorney from Fairbanks,
 E. 0. Hawkins, who for the past four years has been chief engineer in charge of construction of the Copper River & Northwestern By, says that no more work is planned in that section for at least four or five years.

c. M. Summers, former president R the First National Bank, of Juneau, as.indicted by the federal grand jury last week, on fftyfour counts, charg- ing him with fraud while at the head G the banks affairs. s. G. Holt, formelN ly cashier of the bank, was also in- dicted. Summers has been granted 1 change of venue, and his trial wiz come up in May at Ketchikan.
 "You may not have noticed it." sais Bert Collins, travelling passenger agent for the Canadian Pacific, ''but there is saying that when enc gets ito Seattle he has gone as far west es he can get in Uncle Sam's dominions and not wet his feet. There is nothing more ab' surd. As matter of fact, he has gons only gone half way across the United States territory in America. Take gour map of the United States and Alaska, and you will see that, measur- ing from the extreme portion of Maine to the outer edge of the Aleutian islands, Seattle is only halfway to the western limits of Alaska, or United States territoryT
 We now have before us the early pos sibiiity of an annual gold output for the world valued at S500,090,00Q; some- thing that could lhardly have been dreamed of fifteen er even ten years ago. The production for 1911 will probably approach SAGA ,000,0o0. Many are apt to wonder when tbe maximum will be reached, and the answer may be expected Go come from the Trans vaal, which is by long odds the chiG sponsor for the advance of the last few years. The United States shows no sign of any marked gain: its tprodue" ltion may be fairly uniform flor several years, in the light of present indica- tions. Other countries arein similar situation, although Canada, by reason of the discoveries in the Porcupins district, will probably begin within 6 year or two to add larger aoete to the worlds supply. And of course theee is the ever. present possibility that en- tirely new districts of the bonanzs order may be sfortheoming.-Mining Science.
 ". G. Stegmau, of the JuneaK inds- pendent assay office, is accredited with the report of discovery of platinum within this section of Alaska, says the Joneau Dispatch. Mr. Stegman and his associates have secured holdings on these placer grounds. The splatinuR shows in very appreciable quantities ia the pannings made by Mir. Stegma9, showing by the, pan tests as very con- vincing evidence of more than ordin- ary Valuntionin platinum and proba. bly, iridium, the latter element now !. being tested by him. MT. Stegman has not been hasty in announcing all this to the public. but rather on the quiets as until he felt quite sure of results. He verified his determinations by laboratory results and now feels free to admit his important discovery. Mr. Stegman does not state at what par ticular place the discovery was made only that the place is not less distant than fifty or sixty miles from Jnnae&, Alaska. A more complete statement will be given soon, which aay tee at additional interest to the .RaMisg .Rorld,

q believe the best solution of tbe Alaskan problem would be for the United States government te take hold of the transportation question itself and build trunk railroad in the dis trict of Alaska or back it's building."- Senator Wesley l.. Jones, of Washing ton.
 A small box of books was shipped from Whitehorse to Skagway two weeks ago, enroute to Cardiff, Wales. The freight over the White Pass rail way, distance of ll0 miles, was eighty cents more than from Skagway to Car diff, distance of 1000 miIes.-White horse Star.

Fisher Bros, mis- branded olive oil sent to Cordova; Kreilsheimers sent impure Jamaica ginger to Wrangell, aud Schwabacher shipped aduIerated vanilla to Cordova, so it is alleged
 "The American people have no con ception of the great wealth of Alaska. It is almost beyond human compre- hension and the country is so vast that even we who live there have only a vague idea of its greatness" This was the statement of J. 0. Brown, mil lionaire of Nome, who had the exper- fence of taking s865,oOo worth of gold out of his own mine near Nome in ten days.
 Advices were received by wire today from Stewart City to the effect that Jack McCrimmon found on Barker creek nugget weighing eighty-four ounces and three pennyweights. This would make the value of the nugget, in round numbers, if pure gold and if estimated at S16 an ounce, more than S1, 400. It is not stated whether or not there is any quartz in this nugget. The largest pure gold nugget ever found in this camp was the large flat specimen from No. 10, French gulch, it was held here for long time by J. L.

 The collie dog belonging to Warden Bailey has made the hit of his life. Yesterday, Mir. Bailey's little daughter, l Moya Bailey, was out cossting near her home. She was sliding on Sixth avenue in the neighborhood of Hays creek. All at once, the sled started to slide so fast that she lost control The collie was romping along enjoying Christmas in a most fervent fashion. The child on the whizzing sled was heading straight for place where the ground had a fall of about 20 feet possibly more. The collie scented danger-and possibly he didn't. At any rate, be seized the little ones dress between his teeth, and then backed Eup. The sled flew ahead, and vanished over the edge of the drop.

 The materials from which Portland cement is made contain calcium, silica and alumina; it's essential clements. The raw materials also contain small quantities of iron and magnesia in some form. The materials are crushed and ground, mixed in the proper pro- portions and burned at high tempera- ture to a hard clinker, which in turn is ground to fine powder. Usually dur ing Che grinding of the clinker small quantity of gypsum is added to retard the action of the cement and otherwise improve it's quality. Concrete is made by mixiug cement with sand, broken stone, gravel or slag and water. Rein- forced coneretei is that in which steel lin some shape is placed to withstand the stresses to which the body is sub- jected. The steel may be of rods possessing various shapes, frames or wire .mesh.-GIinipg Science.
