 The annual report of the mineral resources and production of Al&aks for 1911 is now in preparrtiou Gnder the direction of Alfred Fl. Brooks, ct the United States Geological Survey The more important features of this repeIt relating to the mining develop ment during the year are abstracted ID the following statement Com plets and accurate statistics of the mineral production of Alaska can not be col lected within less than four or hVs months after the close of the year, but meanwhile it seems desirable to give prompt publication to preliminary estimates, which, although not based on accurate statistics, are believed te be not over 70 per ceut in error. The value of the total mineral output ot Alaska in 1911 isestima1ed at S20,SIQOOGs compared with $l6,883,670 in 1910. The gold output iu 1911 is estimated to have value of ST, ,15Q,00Q; thet of 1913 was SIG, ,126,T49. It estimated that the Alaska mines produced 22,900,O0b pounds of copper in 1911, valued at about S2,S3O0OO; in 1910 their output was {, 4,244,689 pounds, valued at S53os 695. The silver production in 1911 Is estimated to have a value of S220,OOQ, compared with s85,236 for da10. The value of all other mineral products in 1911, including tin, marble, gypsum, and coal, was about S170,000, an in- crease over that of 1910. By using the above estimates for the output of l9ll, the total value of Alaska's mineral production since 1880, when mining first began, is found to be, in round numbers, S206,60Q,000, of which Sl25, s950,O00 is represented by the value G the gold output. The total production of copper in Alaska since a90l, @'hep systematic mining of this metal began is about 56,700,000 pounds, Naded dt' about $, ,l7Q,0OQ.

No; it will not be abused. Wher-
ever such measure has been
adopted and scientific investiga-
ton made it has been found that
only a very small per cent Of the
parents applying for work per
fnits for their children actually
needed their help.
Take my notes here for the
facts. Last year the juvenile
court investigated $50 appiica-
tions for child permits, OF these
is only were found worthy Of
examination. After the examina-
ton only 80 permits were issued.
Of this 80 only SIS were found
worthy of help by the students Of
Berkeley, who took the matter
up. So it appears that 10 par
entS only thought they needed the
work of the children and could |
get along without it if forced to
do so.
''In one of the Indiana glass
factories we found p boys under
IA. Investigation showed that |
the parents of all of them were

CATION resulted in law raising |
