ELEVEN PATIENTS ARE
 NOW IN SITKA HOME

Juneau,-Superintendent A. G Shoup, of the Pioneers Home at Sit ka, writes the Governors office that there are now eleven inmates at the home. MT. Shoup says some of the men are in bad shape, one, nam- ed Miller, being bedridden, and some others are not much better off, they require a good deal of personal care and help. It has been found necessary, says the superin tendent, to employ three men, be- sides a cook, but lot of their work So far has been in connection with setting the institution started. All of these men seem delighted with the place and their treatment. MT Shoup adds;
 'I am sure that we can make the home a great success, unless we run out of funds. It would be an awful thing to have to turn these poor old fellows adrift for lack of money and I hope things will come out all right"

THE SCHOONER ARCTIC
 ARRIVES IN NOME

Nome, Sept. 27-Fears for the safety of the steamer Arctic, which left Seattle August 9th, for Boring seaports, were relieved today by the arrival of the little craft at this port.
 The Arctic, Capt. Barnhard Otte- son had aboard Ira Rank, her own CT, and Mrs. Rank, and crew of eight men. H. I. Haskins, broth CT of Mrs. Rank, received a letter from his sister from Chignik, where the vessel put in September 6, stating that the Arctic had been de- layed by boiler trouble. Nothing was heard from the vessel after she left Chignik until today.
 After leaving Chignik, the vessel was to put in at Scammon bay with supplies for a trading post owned by Frank Waskey. The Arctic went north by way of Ketchikan and the inside passage, and into Boring sea through False pass, instead of going to the westward to Unimak pass.
 The steamer, which is only sixty four feet six inches long, was de- layed by shortage of fuel.

$. F.. DEVELOPMENT
 INCREASES COMMERCE

Speaking of the increase in Alas ka traffic for the year that is now nearing it's last quarter to the Se- attle Times, Special Deputy Col lector of Customs Charles D. Gar field said:
 The biggest increase this year will be in the inbound commerce that is the merchandise sent from the United States to Alaska. This is due to the unusual development m mining Centers in Southeastern Alaska. The greatest increase in outbound commerce will be in salt ed, mild-cured, and fresh fish, com mercial ores and tin. The ship rent of the latter metal last year was about $S5,OOO. This year it is expected to reach about S25o,oo0.
 The shipments of canned sal mon will be smaller than last year and the amount of aquatic products and furs will be greater than last year. The increase in furs is due 10 the establishment of fox farms ir the Territory. This is becoming a business of considerable proDor tious. Jim York, who has a fox farm on Sumdum Island, with be tween 500 and 500 blue foxes, has refused an offer of $5o,O0O for his plant.
 The gold yield will not be as great as last year. This is not be- e, use of an exhaustion of the fields but because of a dry season at Nom and Fairbanks. The Iditarod yjel will be more than last year. Tn volume of copper ore will be great CT, but much of it will be of lower grade than was sent out in 1912 The shipments of marble and gyp sum will be about the same as last scar
 Notwithstanding dull season in Northwestern Alaska and the in rerior, the freight shipped to Der ing Sea points already totalled near ly 3O,0OO tons, which is a slight ad

'S7ILL PLENTY IF GROUND IN
 CHISANA" SAYS OLD PROSPECTOR

Cordova, Sept. 26-Bob Adams was a returning stampeder from Chisana this morning. He is an experienced miner who made a small fortune after several years of hard labor in the Nome country, and is competent to pass an intelligent opinion on the placer fields of Chis ana, which he has no hesitancy in doing. He says:
 q believe that from the present showing on Bonanza and Eldorado lreeks that it is a conservative es- innate to say that a million dollars will be taken from those streams, and the Lord only knows how much more. There is every evidence of bed rock concentration I could not say as much for Gold Hill and some other streams, which impress me as being too close to the glacial period and much like old glacial moraine.
 While the present diggings have not yet been sufficiently developed to demonstrate their real value enough work has been done to
