. Placer tin has been found with the placer gold in the yravels of Sullivan creek, in the Rampant district. The tin is in smoothly rounded pebbles Of cassiterite, or oxide of tin and the area i'll which tin is found is less than a mile long. In the ricest spots as much as half a pound of tin to the pan is reported, which at the pres ent value of the ore, would give the ground value of SIS. to $2O per yard. The gold and tin have travelled together, as where one is found in gre attest quantity the other is in like proportion. The tin is regarded as a nuisance by the miners, as it is difficult to separate from the gold. With cheaper trans pOtration the miners would realize as much from the tin as from the gold.-Cordova Alas kan.

 That ground going as high as $tO to the square foot of bed rock has been found on the Hanson association claim at the mouth of First Chance creek, on Goldstream, is the report brought to Fairbanks recently. The big strike was made by Nerland, Larson and Christian son, laymen on the ground, but they said nothing about it un- til they discivered that they had a paystreak which, although narrow, is wide enough to work to advantage. The ground on which the big find was made is owned by Peter Hanson and A. R. Heilig. lease on the entire claim was given last fall to p. q. Hofstad and Sam Christian son, who sublet a part of the ground, 330 feet square, to T. A. Nerland, Carl Larson and M. P. Christianson. The eXtrcame ly rich paystreak is known to be only If feet wide. However, the ground will pay to work 35 feet in width, and the lay men are therefore preparing to open up on a large scale.

REINDEER IN ALASKA

Officials of the Alaska Div ision of Education, give emphat ic denial to a recently publish ed statement that the reindee' in Alaska are "deteriorating and diminishing" They de- clare that, on the contrary, th: Alaskan reindeer are constant. ly increasing in number an 1: that there has been no deter. ioration.
 The recently completed tab. ulation of the returns contained in the annual reports of the superintendents of the herds shows that there were, June. 30, 1913, 7,286 reindeer in the 62 Alaskan herds or a net in- crease of 23 per cent during the fiscal year. This is consid- cred a fair rate of increase, es- pecially since nearly 5000 of the reindeer were killed for food and skins during the year. Only 3,S53 of the reindeer are owned by the Government; D. 047 are owned by EskimOs and Indians, who's income from the reindeer industry during the fiscal year was $66,OOO. The reindeer belonging to these natives have an estimate value of $763,30O. The Government is blaming to go out of the rein deer business as fast as it can train dependence and initiative among the native population. Distribution of reindeer is in charge of the United State school teachers, and it is ex- pected that the Government will dispose of all its reindeer with in the next four years.
 Discussing the statement that the Alaskan reindeer are growing smaller because of in- breeding, Mir. w. T. LoFp. Chief of the Alaska Divisiun maintains that the reindeer now in Alaska are larger animals than those which comprised the original stock imported from Siberia. Mir. Lopp states: ".A,- aska affords a better range than Siberia. The climate is better. The herds average more than 700 reindeer each, so that the danger of inbreeding can not be serious. Necessarily there is more inbreding among the scattered bands of wild caribou. On the other hand. since the caribou are larger than the reindeer, their mixture with a number of reindeer herds seems to have improved the size. At the same time it has been noticed that the introduc ton of wild blood makes herd ing more difficult.
 "Pasturage is good in most parts of Western and Northern Alaska, but few reindeer herds are kept in the windswept re- gions along the northwest coast, where the winter moss frequently becomes coated with ice from alternate freezing and thawing. This prevents the herd from securing proper food. and results in undersized deer. Mosquitoes are also a cause of stunted growth. Herds at some distance from the coast need to be kept well up in the moun- tain slopes to avoid the mos. quito pests.
 The greatest immediate men, ace to the welfare of the rein deer lies in the tundra fires, started in the region of the mining camps. There is plenty of grass and foliage for the deer in summer, but in winter its the tundra moss that furn- ishes forage, and to destroy it is to deal a body blow 10 one
