NEWS OF TOLOVANA STRIKE
 IS NOT ENCOURAGING

Late reports that have reached Fairbanks, coming from the Tolo- yapa district are not very encourag- ing. The miners have been working on their claims for several months and while they still occasionally run across a small pay streak, yet the amounts taken out arc so small they do not pay for the work.
 Many of the miners are returning to Fairbanks, but a few will re- main in the district and continue prospecting.

John F. Pugh, collector of GUS toms for Alaska, has jus. completed h's annual report for 1914, which in part is as follows:
 This report of the general trade relations of the territory shows satisfactory results and evidences q subtantial growth. The increase of business over the previous year indicates that had Alaska not been materially effected by the gen. eral commercial depression, which retarded some important develop ments, reduced the prize and pro duction of copper and certain fish products, this years transactions would have been the greatest In it's history"
 The report points out that the year 1914 witnessed 'the great est export of canned salmon and a marked increase in fish oils, prec- ious metals and marble" The val ue of fur shipments by mail amount eI to $1S2,OS4.
 An illustration of the great stride made in the development of Juneau and Thane Is shown In the stated value of merchandise shipped to those two points during the year. The figure is $4,O17,71O, and is one million dollars greater than the value of the mercaGLdise ship ped to the same points in 1913 and three millions greater thar in 1912.
 The value of merchandise shipped 10 Skagway in 1914 was SS90,561 as against $369,799 in 1915.
 Notable industrial progress is found in the quantity Of merchan- disc imported from the States. The imports of Southeastern Alaska were valued at S11,O75,5S2, showing an increase of two millions of dollars over the value of the imports Of 1911 and 1912, and six millions of dollars over the value of the im- ports in 1910 and 1911. Southeast ern Alaska is shown to have ad- vanced over all other divisions Of the territory.
 The report explains this feature 1T the following language:
 The divisions where the great gold placers are locate1 have met with the natural decline due to the exhaustion of the most easily ex- plotted deposits"
 Approximately three thousand more people came to Alaska from the United States and British Col umbia. in 1914 than in 1913, as compared to 1000 more departures from the territory than during the previous year. The cannery work CTS who comprise the "floating po- pulation," are not included in the report, which gives the figures sta bility.
 In the domestic trade SO5 yes sels, of a total tonnage of 515,2SS, entered Alaska during the year 1914, as compared with SIP yes sels and a tonnage of 493,O66 in 1913.
 In the foreign trade 37S vessels entered, with a tota l tonnage of l82,4OS. By comparison the do- mestic trade exceeds the foreign trade by 2S4 per cent.
 There are eighteen men in the Alaska customs service. In the Juneau office are Collector J. F. Pugh, Special Deputy c. D. Garfield and Deputy Collectors M. s. Whit tier and G. M. Simpkins. D. A. Meek is stenographer.
