STATES AMAZING 70 DANGER
Additional Hospital Beds for the
treatment of Tuberculosis
Are Being Established.

Nearly 1000 additional hospital beds
for eonsumptives in 20 states were
provided during the year ending June
l, according to statement issued by
the National Association for the Study
and prevention of tuberculosis. This
makes total of over 10000 beds, but
only about one for every ten INDECENT
tuberculosis patients in this country
In the last five years. the hospital
provision for consumptives has in
creased from 14,42S in 1907, to over
10000 in 1912, or over 100 per cent.
New York state leads in the number
of beds, having $3.50 on June /; Mas
sachusetts comes next with $500; and
Pennsylvania, a close third, with 200.
Alabama showed the greatest percent
age of increase in the last year by add
ing 81 new beds to its 40 a year ago.
Georgia comes next with 100 beds add
ed to $40 a year ago. New York has
the greatest numerical increase. hav-

Not Until WOODEN Jobber Failed Did
His Creditors Get Wise to
His Trick.

Credit men in the wooden trade are
discussing an interesting bankruptcy
case that was recently compounded
out of court at a settlement of about
% cents on the dollar: and some OF
the credit men, autobiographically
reminiscent. are bewailing the fact
that. to avoid the slang OF other
trades. "a victim is born every min

credited.

$500, 600 in it. Some went to charity.

The .Fidalgo Bay Cop per Mining Co. has also arrived at the stage of shipment, an aer- ial tram having been completed
 from mine to wharf in 1911. The Scaltle-Alaska Copper Co. this year installed concentrating plant at it's mine on l.atOuche is-
 land, which has been developed by an adlt said to crOSScut the ore body 100 feet below the out crop. Some developments were also made on the, Barrack Gird- wood claims, located on Latouche island. The Knight Island- Cop per Co.,, at it's property near Dryer bay, has installed an air com- pressor and driven two tunnels in which an ore body said to be 12
 feet wide is exposed at a depth of 85 feet below the outcrop.
 The value of the total mineral output of Alaska in 1911 is csti- mated at $20,37O,OOO, compared with $i6,8S3,678 in 1910. The gold output in 1911 is estimated to have a value of $I7,15O,OOO; that of 1910 was $t6,i26,7i9. It is estimated that the Alaska mines produced 22,90O,O0O pounds of copper in 1911, valued at about S2.830, ,O00: in 1910 their output Was i,2i ,G89 pounds, valued at
 S53S.G95. The silver production m 1911 Is estimated tu have a value Of S220,000. compared with SS5.23G for 1910. The value of all other mineral products in l9l 1, including tin, marble. gyp- sum, and coal, was about Sl7O,- 900, an increase over that of19IO.

ALASKA'S MINERAL
 OUTPUT INCREASING
Annual Report of Prof. Brooks Notes Increase of Copper and
 Gold Shipments

The press bulletin of the an
 nual report on the mineral re- sources and production of Alaska for 1911, by Alfred II. Brooks, of
 the United Statcs Geological Sur vcy, contains the following report of the Valdez district:
 Gold lode prospecting and de- IrclOping were very active in the
 Prince William Sound region dur
 ing 1911. Interest centered on
 the Port Valdez district. though considerable was accomplished in the Mckinley lake region near CGrdOva, and some promising prospects are said io have been found near Port Wells and Gra- vina bay. The collaborating region nf Port Valdez, as defined by the prospecting already accomplish cd. stretches from Columbia gla- icIcr on the west to the east side ,Of the Valdez glacier on the east "a distance of about 20 mlies. It can be roughly blocked out on V" north by a line parallcling the ax- k of ilr inlet and 3 in , miles from lihrwaIrr and on the south by d similar line I tn , miles from tidcwatcr. Some gnli-bear- ing veins have. however. also been found To the east of the above described boundary, in the vicin- lty of the Ealdez-Fairbank trail. and the Port Wells prospects lie
 in what may he a western exten-
 sion of the same belt. Most of
 the important development work
 in the region has been confined
 to the region adjacent to Shoup bay, to Mineral creek, and 10 the west side of Valdez glacier.
 The bedrock consists of close
 ly folded and faultcd slates and graywackcs, with some quartz ties, cut by few porphyry dikes.
 Well defined Assures are not un- common in the district, and some of them carry the metalliferous
 quartz veins which furnish the ore bodies now being prospected. Fissuring seems 10 be especially well defined in the Shoup bay region, where two systems were noted. Besides the Assure veins there are a much larger number of stringcrs, some of which car ry high values in gold. The vein filling consists chiefly of quartz. The most abundant metallic min- erals arc pyrite, galcna and free gold. In most places there is marked surface enrichment in gold values, but this does not usually extend to a depth of more than a few feet. It seems improb- able that the values found below this very superficial zone will continue in depth.
 The Cliff is the only product i've mine yet developed in the dis trict, but score or more of oth- CT properties have produced some orc that has been milled at Val dz. A depth of 100 feet below tidewater has been reached in the Clif mine, with, as reported, no marked changes in values. IL will be impossible 10 enumerate here the many other properties in this district on which more or less de- velopment work has been done.
 Of the Prince William Sound copper properties the Beatson- Bonanza and Ellamar were op- erated on a productive basis throughout the year. Some ship ments were also made from tho
