SAYS KEEP OUT BOTH
 TRADERS AND MISSIONARIES

New York, Oct. 26-Yilhjaimur Stefausson, who discovered the blond Esquimaux in tho Cornation Gulf region, said yesterday that in an effort to save them from destruc- ton he would go to Ottawa soon. He plans to ask the Canadian Gov crnment to protect the millions of caribou which supply food aud cloth ing Go the blond EsQuimaux
 When a new people and new country are discovered" said stef- anssou, commercial interests im- mediately ask, How much money can we make out of themT The fur traders and hunters start at once. The missionaries race with the com mercial interests to be the first on the ground and save the strangers souls. Nobody seems to care about saving their bodies, in spite of the facts that scientists know that as soon as civilization reaches them they will be bughted. No one seems to care whether they are ex- terminated or not
 "Iu the South Pacific and in AL aska. notably, civilization has tend ed rapidly to destroy the aborigines. There is an American saying, you remember, that the only good n- dian is a dead one
 "The most deadly disease that ever struck the Esquimaux any. where was the measles. Fifty per cent Of an that have died in Alaska in the last twenty years have died Of this disease. The missionaries and the supply Chips that carry stuff to the missionaries are as likely to carry measles as are the fur traders. When measles attacks the blond EsQuimaux in Cornatiou Gulf, I should not be surprised il the disease carried off 80 per cent of them
 "The only intelligently governed Esquimaux country in the world is Greenland, where Denmark main tains a strict quarantine, no one be. ing permitted to land without in. yestigation. There the population is increasing. Such an agreement is feasible for the Cornatiou Gull country.
 And | want to shut out both the fur trader and the missionary. Th' blond Esqumaux don't need the ful trader and the things of civilization he carries and they have a religion of their own which answers thei purposes very well. At present the! have no contagious diseases an' their health Is very good. Alreadl | expect fur traders are heade' that way and at least one or tv' missionaries are penetrating thu country. Captain Amundsen sai, of the King William Land Esqu maux that his best wish for then was that civilization should not ge them ! feel the same way abou these"

=- COPPER PRODUCTION IN 1911 PASSES HTGHWATER MARK

The year 1911 was one of pros perity for the copper industry, both shelter and refinery outputs be- ing the largest in it's history
 The average price of copper for 1911 was 12.5 cents pound, slight ly below the price of 1910, but near the close of the year the price advanced, the average for December being 1871 cents To. Metal-market conditions continued to improve tm the average price had risen, in July, 1912, above 17 cents a pound, the highest price since the panic of 1907.
 The smelter production Of cop per in the United States In 1911 was 1,O97,232,74s pounds, or 56 per cent Of the worlds production, but while the production surpassed that of 1910 by S,995,317 pounds, the value of the 1911 output was but Sl3Il54,O92, compared with S13I1SO,257 for 1910.
 In 1911 twenty-one States and Territories contributed to the cop per production. but the three lead ing States Arizona, Montana, and Michigan) produced 70 per cent of the total output. Arizona pro- duced more than 27 per cent of the output for the year, Montana slight iy less than 20 per cent, and Mich igan nearly % per cent. Utah took fourth place, with an output of nearly IS per cent of the 1911 production. The six leading states in 1911 Arizona, Montana. Mich igan. Utah.

WHERE AND HOW THE
 COMMISSION SPENT MONEY

------
 Lieutenant Rdeertou Of the All aslxa road commission has given out the following account of the eN- pendItures for the year 1912:
 At the beginning of the year at a meeting Of the board 1t was expectea that Che St25,OOo asked from congress by the road commis- sion would be available shortly af- ter the return of Col. Richardson from his conference with the heads of the department at Washington, and on that basis our work was planned. But for the timely assist anee of Governor Clark, when he transferred from the accumulated money in Che school fund, about $SO.O0O we would have been com pelled to shut down the work on account of the failure of the appro- priatiou biu to pass during the ear ly part of the season. This money was transferred. S50,OOO in the ear ly spring and the balance in July
 The work of the commission was divided as follows
 First Division-About S4O,Ooo was spent in the first division on the wagon road up Sheep creek near Juneau and on the road from Haine to Pleasant Camp at the Canadian boundary.
 Second Divisiou--A considerable amount was spent in the construct ion of wagon road up the Solo mon river and on local roads around Nome; a wagon road was built up Candle creek, one from Deering to nmachuk. Small pieces of road were built in the new Squir- rel river mining district, and a road from Nome to Council
 Third Divislon-The commission spent the largest sum in the Third division, as it is of great impor- tauee that the work of past years be kept in repair, and also because of the rapid development of the dif- fereut mining camps in this di- vision. About Sll5,OOO was spent on the Fairbanks trail and the Willow creek cut off, the con struCtiou of the sled road from New Kuik to Willow creek. a sled road from the Alaska Northern railroad to the Moose Pass district. the completion of the Seward-Iditarod trail and the wagon road from the railroad to Hope and Sunrise.
 Fourth Division-The work in the Fourth division cost SSO,OO0 and consisted of work from Ruby to Long creek and from Iditarod to Flat creek, on the road around Ruby the keeping in repair of the upper end of the Valdez-Fairbanks wa gon road, the construction of the road from Circle Co Mammoth creek, road from Fairbanks to Hot Hot Springs, a sled road from Fair banks Co Fort Gibbon, and one from Fairbanks to Circle.
 Division of License Money law for the collection of license money in Alaska provides that % per cent shall go to the school fund, 8 per cent for the care of the i'm sane, and 70 per cent for the con- structiog of roads and trails as map ped out by the road commission.
 The commission consists Of Col. Richardson, chairman: Lieut. Edger- ton, engineer officer, and Lieut. Weeks, disbursing officer
