KENfEcoTr COPPER COMPANY EARNS
 ef.ooo,0oo MONTHLY

NEW YORK Oct 5.-Whne the earnings oi the Kennocott Copper Go. for the four months ended Sept 30 amounted to SS.5OO.OOO, the actual profits for this period will probably be Increased to sf.000,00O, due to the fact that the earnings of $3.500 900 Include the unsold copper which was inventorled at i5 cents This cop per win be sold to Q higher figure. since the copper market is now l6 cents or better.
 Kennecotts mine production for tho four months ended on Sept 30 was S10OO,0OO pounds, or at the rate of moro than 90,OOo,oOO pounds Q year. The production in September was approximately 8.O0O,OOO ponnds.
 The Alaska Steamship Company has bought two steamers. which will be used to carry the Kenneoott orc to the shelter on the Puget Sound.
 Kennecott's orc is bcing shipped to tho Tacoma plant Of the American Smelling & Refining Co., and to Gar field Utah, for treatment the Tacoma plant being unable Go handle the en- tire output of Che mine. The ore that is smelted at Garfield is sent to Perth Amboy for refining. - (Wall Street Journal)

placer mining in Alaska Between 5000 and 6.000 men arc engaged in placer mining and prospecting the placers. and nearly third of the white population of the Territory is directly or indirectly supported by the placer mining industry.
 The question of its future is there fore to them most important one. Wm it continue to decline. or are the known auriferous gravels sufficient to justify tho belief chat Che industry win hold It's own or wnl increasef
 It is believed that the future of tho industry must depend, SO far as now can be determined. on the exploita- tion of auriferous grayels of lower grade value than those which in the past have yielded most of the gold, although there is, of course. always the hope of finding new bonanza de- posits. such as have in thea last de cade yielded large returns.
 No Systematic Prospecting
 No one can deny there are exten- sive deposits Of auriferous gravels in Alaska. but because of the lack of systematic prospecting ot grayels car rying small amounts of gold it is dif ficuit to reach any definite eonclus ions about the extent of deposits that can be profitabiy exploited when cheap CT fuel and transportation have re duced tho costs of mining.
 Tn view of the importance Of the subject the Survey has published ir this report @ summary of tho data relating to it. The general conclus ion is drawn that with cheaper fue and transportation there is no reason to believe that placer mining will con tinue to decline.

RAY CONSOLIDATED
 TO EARN S5.0oo,ooo
 DURING PRESENT YEAR

NEW YORK. Oct 5.- President Sherwood Aldrlch. Of tho Ray Consoii- dated Copper Company says: "on the basis of the present metal mar ket. the earnings of the Ray Consoli- dated Copper Company for 1915 are likely to be at least $5OO.0OO In excess of the estimate Of S4,l677OO made in the Wall Street Journal last week.
 "The earnings for 1915 will reflect only in a small degree the improved metal recoveries at tho company's milling plant for The reason that these improvements have only recently been perfected and while they are being installed and put in operation as rap- idly as possible yet the installation upon an the sections will not be com pleted for some time Co come.
 ''It is from these additional recov- cries of copper metal that the com pany's great gain of additional profits will be made, for through them we recover, smelt, refine and market an extra six or seven pounds Of copper at a total cost of three cents per pound for every ton of ore treated At the present price of the metal and at the present rate Of 100000 tons being treated each month, these ex- tra recoveries alone represent addi- tional profits equal to nearly 1k times the amount required to pay the pres ent rate of dividends
 "As the earnings for the present year should be nearly two and one half times the amount disbursed in dividends. the prospects for much greater earnings following the com plete installation which will give these additional recoveries on all the ore treated are certainly very bright." !" -(Wal Street Journai.)

WILSON WOULD NOT
 CHANGE SUGAR TARIFF

WASHINGTON Oct. S.-President Wilson approves tho decision of Sec retary McAdoo to recommend that Congress retain tho present duty on sugar until normal conditions are re-. stored and that the war tax meas ure which expires automatically De- cember S1, be extended untn the end Of the war.
 It was stated aulhoritatively last night that before Secretary McAdoo made his views known he discussed the subject with the president and that letters passed between them.
 The president is known to believe that the European war has had such an effect on industrial conditions that both measures will loo necessary to' help build up the revenues of the gov ernment.
 Some political leaders thinl, that by proposing that the provision of the low tariff law putting sugar on the free list May 1, 19l6 be repealed, the administration win inevitably open the ! entire tariff question. So far as can bo learned however such a step is not not contemplated by the admin istration.

COAL AND THE
 RAILWAY TO
 HELP ALASKA

WASHINGTON. Oct. 7.-The cer- tainity of railroad connection with the Yukon basin and the probability of an early development Of the coal fields greatly stimulated the search for min eral deposits in Alaska during lSlf, according to Alfred F. Brooks. geol- ogist ln charge of the division of AL aska mineral resources. in a report recently Issued by the geological sur v0y.
 The mining industry in Alaska as a industry In 1914 was the great mum ber of explorations made on behalf of capitalists looking for properties that would warrant development on 9 large scale. This research was most notable in the south-eentral region, which win be directly benefited by the building of the government rail- road. although the new railroad un- doubiodly win directly or indirectly benefit an parts of Che Territory.

ASIATICS ARE
 CANNING SALMON

SEATTLE. Oct. 9.-Kamchatka sal mon canneries have this season put up 150.OOO cases of fish, of which out put humpbacks accounted for l2O,0OO eases. Red salmon were few In num- ber, the totai pack of these fish only amounting to SO.OOO cases. Russia has proven Q gold mine of market for the pack, and humpback salmon bought at two kopecks or one cent each have been delivered to tho Rus sian war department for @ lump price Of $6 case.
 Oscar B. Morning, an American cannery expert returned to Seattle yesterday on the Nippon Yusen Kai- she lines Ald Maru after Q years la- bor on the KamchatlSa coast, and in speaking of the seasons fishing on tho northeast coast of Asia said on the whole the season had been Q prof ltable one for cannerymen and fish packers.
 'I went out to put in O canning plant for Q Russian company" he said. "and while we were handicapped for hedp. VIC put up so.OOO cases Of humpbacks and 5000 eases of red sal mon.
 Japaneoe Operate Successfully.
 Most of the sea fishing is done by Japanese fishermen who were grant ed the privilege of fishing in Kam- chatka waters after the Russia-Jap- anese war. They arc not permitted to fish in the rivers, and there Is where the Russians chiefly operate. This is tho first season the Japanese have operated their canneries with out foreign assistance. and they man. aged them very successfully.
 "These cannerles put up codflsh In Gins as well as salmon trout and an varieties of salmon found there.
 "The run Of humpbacks was very heavy this fall although there were but few red salmon to what was an- ticipated. The Japanese also saited about 50.00O tons of salmon for the Japanese market.
 Japanese Supply Drink.
 "The people of the village where our plant is located all made money this season. the average profit of the men being 800 roubles and tho women 400 roubles. They are. however. a hard lot to deal with. being chiefly of the Russian criminal class. Since the stopping Of tue sale of vodka. Jap anese have taken advantage of the booze shortage. Small Japanese yes sels bring alcohol all along the coast, and this finds ready sale among the Russians who have been deprived of their accustomed yadlSa.- Seattle Times)

FATALITIES OF
THE HEAT WAVE.

The power of the heat wave which
spread over a large portion OF the
Atlantic States during the past week
is still felt, and the Weather Bureau
is holding out but little hope OF an
immediate break. Heavy rains ac-
companied by thunder and lightning
and in some instances hail have visi-
ted nearby sections, but the torrld
conditions show no material change
At times, when showers were ap-
preaching, cooling winds, have at
forded temporary relief, but within a
few hours the atmosphere became as
depressing as ever.
There has been nothing to class
with storms in this city during the
prevalence of the present heat wave,
although there have been showers.
In neighboring states, however, high
winds and lightning have caused
damage, especially in Richmond last
Sunday. Severe storms have also
visited places in Maryland and Penn
sylfania.
Nineteen persons succumbed to the
heat in Philadelphia and nine others
in nearby cities. Probably could sta
tistics be gathered it would be found
that the torrid conditions have caused
hundred deaths AS is generally
the case during depressingly hot
weather. some persons have been
driven to suicide, while others have
been crazed by the power of the
sun.
While Alexandria has suffered
from the fierce suns rays and the
humid conditions, no deaths have
been caused, nor have there been any
prostrations from the heat.

UNITED STATES WILL
BE THE BENEFICIARY.

That Europe by prolonging the
world war is committing suicide and
making the United States the great
est world power is the view taken by
Prof. George Simmel, authority OIL
international politics, in an article
in the Berlin Tageblatt. "America
stands nearby as the waiting heir a;
the deathbed of rich testator," he
wrote and he put this question to- the
belligerents, as Europe insane that
it commits this hara kiri?
Prof. Simmel concluded with the
declaration that the world still held
plenty of room for both England and
Germany. He suggested that Eng
land and Germany, working in mar.
mony could not only keep the peace
of Europe, but retain for Europe "a
place in front of the growing powers
of America and East Asia. "
H. C. Wells, prominent English
author writing on the same lines
says:
II will assume the war regimen
will continue for Europe at least
another year. Neither side will or
can give in until decisively beaten
and there is far less appearance no"
of any such decisive ending than
there was a year ago, when the Ger
mans marched upon Paris and hao
Calais for the taking.

PRIMARY
ELECTION

A primary election for the purpose
of nominating candidates for the
State Senate and House OF Dele
gates is being held today in most
cities and counties in, the State Oh
Virginia. In some districts the peo-
ple are perfectly satisfied with their
present representatives and the de-
mocratic committees have declared
them the standard bearers OF the
party: hence no election will be held
IN some cities and counties. 1t IS SO
in Alexandria. The members of the
democratic party in this city and the
surrounding counties are perfectly
satisfied with the report Of the stew
ardship of Senator Thornton and De-
legate Birrell, and these popular rep
resentatives will have walkover.
The community naturally enjoys
relief when it is realized that the
city is to be exempted from a spirited
contest in the democratic party. Such
battles generally cause wounds hard
to heal, as they are often seen to
break out afrcsh after many years.
In this connection it is in order to
call attention to- the fact that Alex
andria has proceeded quietly along
for some time without any inclination
to change it's officeholders, Those fill
ing the respective Offices of trust have
been weighed lin the balances and
have not been found wanting. They
have for years succeeded themselves,
the community having no inclination
to engage in the risky procedure of
breaking in others.
The same spirit seems to pcrvadc
the entire Congressional District.
The present Representative in Con-
gress, Hon. C. C. Carlin, has, so
far, no competitor in the democratic
party for the nomination next year,
although several names have been
suggested by some who desire to see
other candidates in the field. One of
the most prominent and able men In
the district was recently suggested by
e writer as prospective candidate
for Mr.. Carlin's position, but the
movement died aborning, as the gen
tleman who was named paid no at
tention whatever to the writer who
attempted to get him to enter he
field.
