j helm syndicate will spend another mill
lion dollars in railroad extension in
Alaska to commence Immediately. Bax-
ter figures that the building OF the gov
ernment railroad will begin an era of
Alaskan development comparable to
that of the western states following the
building of the transcontinental roads.
Alaska produced the first copper in
1901. About 81 100000 worth was pro-
duced in 1911. The next year the
output increased 800 per cent, and
yet copper mining must have begun
long, before the advent of the white
man. Natives in many parts of Alaska
when first encountered by explorers,
were found to be using knives, spear
points and crude vessels made of vir-
gin copper.
Placer tin was discovered in Seward
peninsula in 1900 by members of the
United States geological survey. Lode
tin was found three years later. A

over one thousand dollars per day
since during the summer months.

The mining Of coal in Alaska dates

But high grade coal fields have also
been discovered and were beginning
to be worked on the Behring river.

MORAL OBLIGATION.
All That Holds Mathewson-Consid
Feds Offer.

New York. Feb. $3.50 much mis-
information has been said and written
about Christy Mathewson's status in
baseball that it is deemed proper to
print the facts. They are as follows:
Under the rules of organized base
ball his services are reserved by the
New York Giants. all requirements
having been met by the management.
His contract expired last fall but q
contract was rendered him this year
calling for a specific salary and he
acknowledged receipt. He Is not 2
free agent in the organized baseball
acceptance of that term.
The Federal League maintains that
the baseball reserve rule is not legal
ly binding and never has undergone
the test OF a decison by any court.
Therefore, Mathewson is not bound
legally to the Giants any more than
Russell Ford was bound to the Chance
men. Whatever his moral obligations
may be to the Giants and the New
York public. is a matter for him to
decide when he measures up the
money inducements from both sides
and the probable future in each.

Frederick Koenig tried out his cylin-
der press for the London Times, the
first printing press run by steam.
This press was first used in the Unit
ed States in 1927. The introduction
Of the cylinder press In the Times Of
fice caused great commotion and
the pressmen then employed went on
: strike, believing the new invention
meant the throwing OF many out Of
work. II was not until about three
months ago that this strike was set
tied and the London Times once more
became union office employing
printers and pressmen of the London
typographical Society and Press
mems Union. Manufacturing Of the
press was carried on secretly. One
night the pressmen OF the Times Of
flee waited In vain for the forms to
como down. They thought that
news of tremendous importance must
have delayed the paper. Suddenly
Mr.. Walter. the editor, appeared
among them and distributed the first
sheets ever printed upon cylinder
press. 1t could produce 1000 i'm
presions an hour.
Up To 1914 all newspapers were
printed on hand presses. George
Bruce. who came to America early In
the last century. described how they
got out the Philadelphia Chronicle.
There were three men to each hand
press. one to pull the lever. one to
Ink the forms. and one TO take away
the papers. They worked desper-
ately hard for twenty minutes. then
rested 90 minutes. The output was.
OF course. very limited-about $50
papers an hour. Today the rotary
press prints, folds and counts any
whore from $4,000 to 10000 copies
OF an s to 80 page newspaper per
hour. receiving great rolls Of white
paper and turning them out as neat
ly folded newspapers which appear
at the breakfast table exactly as they
leave the press.
Three great inventions have made
this achievement possible. In lsl8
Richard Hoe invented the lightning
press and solved the speed problem.
For the first time the type was set
around the cylinder by means Of the
turtle" The first typeseting ma
chine was Invented In 1899. but II
was not until 1885 that Otto Mer-
esnthaler produced a genuine labor
savhg composing machine which
ieain rcvoiutionixed the printing
world. Then in 1851 came the curv.
oil stersctyping machines.
