well in the early stages of develop ment.
 The year 1915 saw tremendous ex- pansion of copper production. Many new mines have become producers and the outlook for the coming year pro mises an even greater expansion in this industry.
 The Kennecott and Jumba mines in the Chitina valley have become world renowned as high grade producers, and are today classed among the worlds greatest copper mines. These mines have mainetained a steady out put of 50 per cent copper. Shipments during the last summer from these properties have run from Sl,0Oo,O00 to $1.5OO,OOO in value per month.
 The Mother Lode mine, located in the same locality, continued active development work, and during the winter season maintained steady ship ments. This property is of the same high grade tenor as the adjacent Ken necott and Jumbo mines, but is now handicapped by lack of transportation facilities, the ore having to be sledded distance of about ten miles to the Copper River & Northwestern rail- road.
 In southeastern Alaska the It, Mamie, Rush and Brown and Copper Mountain properties maintained steady and largely increased ship ments of ore. In the Prince William sound region the Latouche-Bonanza continued it's heavy shipments of cop per throughout the year. Among the other steady producers in this district were the Ellamar and Dickey mines. New producers that were developed during the past year are the Fidalgo and Midas properties. This list of producing copper mines promises to be materially increased during the year 1916, as the past year has wit messed most extensive development work in the three great copper pro ducing regions of Alaska.
 Tin mining has been placed on a permanent footing. with the probabil- ity of steady expansion, and antimony appears for the first time among the shipments of minor metals, to the eX- tent of several hundred tons.
 The fishing industry maintained it's position as Alaskas foremost industry in value of output, and will for 1915. probably equal, if not exceed, that of 1914, when the value of this industry was in excess of $21 100000.
 Railroad building and the increased mining activity have probably in creased the white population of Alas ka. estimated at 39,OO0 to the end of 1914, by fully 10 per cent, if not greater. No small part of which has been due to the influx of settlers on the public lands for agricultural pur- suits. These pioneers have spread through the Panama, Susitna, Mata- nuska and Chilcat valleys, and to many minor areas, among the islands of southeastern Alaska, until it is pro bable that between 600 and 800 famil- ies are now reaping part or all of their income from the soil. From every point of view the year 1915 has been for Alaska the most promising year in it's history. and the northland stands today on the threshold of a new era of development more far reaching than ever it's most optimistic friends have dared to predict.
 The wonderful development that is now beginning for Alaska means an expansion of business for Seattle, the magnitude of which few can grasp.

ALASKA BREAKS ALL BUSINESS
 RECORDS
By J. L. MCPHERSON, Manager of the Alaska Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce.

NidlilDtl LII NOlilUltICt. The year 1915 was for Alaska its banner year. The commerce for the past year, totaling $75,573,322, is s1I,- 898,21 greater than that of 1914. AL though the increase in copper produc- ton was proportionately greater than in other industries, all lines show the stimulus of a new and prosperous de velopment
 The beginning of actual construc- ton of the government railroad from Seward to Fairbanks, and the com mencement of operations on the nam moth Alaska Gastineau mine at Ju- neau. are the two events of greatest magnitude. In the construction of the government railroad it is reported that thirty-four miles of grade were completed from Anchorage to Cook inlet toward the Matanuska coal field and that about fourteen miles of track were laid.
 Plans for the year 1916 involve an expenditure Of $S,2OO.OOO, and contem- plate the completion of the railroad from Anchorage to the Matanuska coal fields, with extensive work in the Susitna and Panama valleys.
 The faith of capital in the perma hence of Alaskas mineral resources is most strikingly evidenced by the enormous operations in the Juneau gold belt.
 The Alaska-Gastineau mine during 1915 was developed to a producing stage and is today mining and milling about 4,0OO tons of ore daily, with ore reserves that are estimated to as sure an output of from 15,OOO to 20,- 900 tons daily for at least fifty years.
 The Alaska-Juneau mine, in the same belt has run it's test mills stead fly on ore recovered from development work. This company plans on an eX- penditure during the year 1916 of about $2.50O,OO0, which will make this property the third mammoth producer in the Juneau belt.
 The Treadwell mines, the great pio- neer in this field, have maintained their steady output. The total daily product of these groups today reaches about 9,0OO,O00 tons. or about 32,000,- 900 tons annually, which is over twice the production of 1914.
 Other large mines in southeastern Alaska are being developed and equip ped for large production. include the Kensington and Berners bay. to the north of Juneau, and the Chichagofi mine to the westward. Port Wells the Valdez and Willow creek districts all show increased activity over 1914 and promise greater returns for the coming year.
 Placer mining had a prosperous year and the outlook for the year 1916 promises even greater returns. The Tolovana field, fifty miles northwest of Fairbanks, discovered in 1914, has developed during the past year to a proven camp New discoveries on Dime creek, in the Koyuk region.

We trust our lawmakers will not
be in haste to pass a divorce law. We
feel sure that there is nothing to be
gained in the passage of such law.
The reeking divorce courts in many of
our States prove that there is moth
ing gained. The primary result of a
divorce law will not be the relief fur
nished people who have been unfor-
tunate in the matrimonial venture,
but in the loss of sanctity for the
marriage relation. Already there is a
lack of reverence for the institution
of marriage. The sanctity of the
marriage vows make for the safety of
our homes. Divorce laws strike at the
very foundations of our civilization
the home. Let the laws we have pun
ish the brutal husband, the unfaithful
wife, and you will do more for this
country than any divorce law could
do. We do not believe a divorce law
will be passed. We do not believe one
should pass. 1t is a move in the
wrong direction.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1916-01-14
TO MAKE THE LAW EFFECTIVE.

We most heartily commend Mayor
Wharton, the city aldermen and Chief
of Police Milo H. Evans for their de-
termination to enforce the prohibition
law. 1t is a move in the right direc-
ton. And there is no doubt of the
fact that the law can be enforced. 1t
is almost always true that half a
dozen or a dozen men, led on by the
desire for gain and also by mistaken
view of their rights, are the leaders in
the violation of the whiskey laws. The
great bulk of the people, ninety-nine
out of every hundred, would not en-
gage in a business that has been out
lawed. 1t is the small circle of ad-
yenturous and untamed individuals
that gives the trouble. We feel quite
sure that the city authorities can and
will handle the situation; and that the
blind tigers will be put out of bust
ness. The sure way to bring the pro-
hibition law to grief is to fail to en-
force it. The charge is then made by
the very men who broke down the
law, "prohibition does not prohibit" F"
Tt is like man poisoning spring
and then proclaiming that it's waters
are not good.
The public mind is today assuming
very different attitude upon the
whiskey question. More and more this
demon is being understood and it's
true character laid bare. We have
come to the point that our people, the
great majority of them are deter
mined to see the evil thing put down
and the law enforced.
We again commend our city author
tiles in the stand they have taken. Let
the law be enforced. Let the blind
tiger be put down. Let all good citi-
zens rally to the help of the city
authorities. And, it would be very
good thing if the good citizen, feeling
that he cannot afford to be without a
little whiskey, and must order his
gallon a month-it would be a good
thing, we say, if such good citizens
practice a bit of self-denial. Stop
drinking whiskey, stop ordering it,
stop using it. You can do without it;
many people now refuse to have a
drop in their homes. They get along
very we'll without it. You will find
that you can do likewise. Try it.,
brother.

A Deadly Combination.

Several fatal accidents. recorded within the
last week, serve to emphasize the danger OF the
combination Of the unprotected railroad crossing
and the inexperienced automobile driver. How
to divide the blame is not an easy question. 1t
is certain that some portion OF it rests on each
factor in the problem. Men who are not thor
oughly we'll equipped to handle self-propeed
pleasure cars set forth with family or friends,
and start carcering over the country, usually at
a much higher rate of speed than they would take
if they were better versed in the management OF
their machines. When the crisis comes they are
unable to control the car, lose their heads, or
blunder in some way that brings calamity, On
the other side the railroads have been so used to
sending their fast trains at high speed across the
country, with no care whatever for highway cross
ngs beyond the posting OF sgnboards, that they
have lost sight of the fact that some further de-
gree of responsibility rests on them, that they
should be required to make the crossings safe at
all times. The dissolution Of the deadly combi-
nation OF inexperienced driver and unprotected
road crossing depends on precautionary action on
both sides. The driver must learn to proceed
carefully, and the railroads must guard their
crossings more closely

A Great Leader Gone.

A great churehman and civic leader passed to
the final accounting with the death Of RI, Rev.
John Lancaster Spalding, former bishop Of the
Catholic diocese Of PEORIA, III. Sprinsns from
an American family with heritage Of $50 years,
Bishop Spalding possessed a breadth Of view a.
broad and deep as human liberty, and his SYM
pathies matched it. To great scholarship and rare
oratorieal ability he added administrative skill,
which found abundant room for demonstration In
his own diocese and beyond. He visioned ma
terial results as clearly as he bazed the way to
the life beyond As he saw things he did things,
and lived to see the full fruitage of his work. ma
terially as we'll as spiritually Nebraska is his
debtor in some measure. Bishop SpaldinE was
one of the four churchmen associated with the
late Bishop O'Connor OF Omaha in founding and
financing the American Catholic Colonization So
eiety OF thirty years ago. One of the colonies
was established in Greeley county, and the sue
cess which attended il became an inspiration for
other colonies that followed and helred to trans
form the once Great American desert" into a
beautiful garden spot. The city Of Spalding was
named in his honor. But his greatest memorial
rests in the hearts Of the families drawn from
crowded cities to the fruitful virgin soil Of Greeley
county Nebraska.
