FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY NEW SYSTEM OF SIMPLIFYING

A concentrator is soon to be built at Latouch which it is claimed will result in revolut- ionizing the copper mining ln- dustry of Prince William Sound. A new system, inven- ted several years ago and which has been subject to the severest tests, using fuel oil Ill stead of coke will be installed. It is claimed that ores as low as two per cent copper can be handled at a profit by the new system. and as there are enor- nous bodies of low grade cop per ores on Latouche and other Prince William Sound islands much will depend on the sue cess of the enterprise. At pres ent no effort is made to mine copper ores which do not give returns of s or 10 per cent cop per in addition to the other minerals carried by the ores. The work of erecting the build ing and installirg the pant will be done by NJ. Norberg who erected the concentrator at Kennicott.

HOMESTEAD LAW
 OF ALASKA

In his annual report the com- missioner of the general land office says that the homestead laws as now applied to Alaska have been found to be unsuit- able to conditions in the ter ritory. The future development of the natural resources in AL aska depends great deal upon the development of the agri- culture lands. In order to en- courage the homesteader to go there, it is necessary that the laws be made as liberal as possible commensurate with proper protection to the pub lie from fraudulant acquisition of such lands, and the commis- sioner recommends that the following changes be made.
 The area of land subject to homestead entry should be re- duced to t60 acres.
 The area of required culti- vatiOn should be reduced to One-fortieth of the entire area the second year and one- -twen- +tieth the third year.
 An absence of six months each year should be permitted.
 Notice of homestead lOca- ton should be filed in the dis trict land office.
 The survey of homesteads should be made by the govern- ment after the expiration of three years from the date of entry and upon satisfactory proof of compliance with the law.
 The right to make a home stead entry in Alaska should exist notwithstanding the ap- plicant may have acquired title to a homestead outside of the territory.
 The act of June 22, 1910(36 Stat. 5S3), providing for the surface entries of lands con- taining coal should be extended to include homestead entries in Alaska.
 The suggestions follow House joint memorial No. 4, passed by the first Alaska Leg islature.

Charles Finzel, proprietor of the Ketchikan Drawing com

The car is of the latest style, 30 horse power, and should prove a money maker in the draying business of this town. Charley says he gave it a thorough trying out on the steepest hills in Seattle with a full capacity load, and it was there with the goods everv lime. So that long timber and material of that nature may be handled he has a trailer ordered 10 couple to the car which will enable the machine to handle onything that comes along. Be sides the automobile he brought a piano truck up, the only one in town which will simplify the handling of pianos and other heavy furniture.
