NEW YORK FIRM
 MON0PO[Izrs PLATINUM
tBy United Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-An Am erican firm-Adolf Lewisohn ard Son of 61 Broadway, New York. has the valuable concession tan absolute monopoly)-of mining Colombian plat mum.
 Platinum-a war metal more cost ly than gold, is today selling for SIC an ounce. the Council of National De. fense statees, although the govern ment is filling all it's needs at s65 an ounce.
 Before the war platinum was worth only $40 an ounce. Stopping the Rus. sian supply to America-before Am erica entered the war; and the urgent demand for platinum for making the sparkers in spark plugs. boosted the price.
 Today, prospectors are scoring the far corners of the earth for platinum deposits. The rich placer platinum de. posits in the San Juan and Condote rivers in Colombia are being drawn on heavily to fill the need.
 While there is no national short. age in America for war platinum, the Council of National Defense has cau- toned against lavish use of the pre- cious metal for making watch or cig- arette cases.
 Its use in smaller and more intri- cate jewelry is permitted, however.

ENGLAND LIKELY
 TAKE SHIPS AUSTRALIA
(By the Associated Press)

MELBOURNE, Nov. 13-The Bri tish government has been in communi cation with the Australian government with view of requisitioning all the available shipping in Australian wat CTS for the transporting of cargos for overseas service. Already the Inter. state and the coastal trade has con. tributed over 9O,OOO tons of shipping but considera ole additional amount is said to be forthcoming.
 Among other things it is proposed that the large lighters employed at the principal Australian ports should be loaded with wheat and other commod- ities and lowed to South Africa, where the cargos could be discharged into steamers for England, thus saving ton mage and time.
 As regards shipbuilding in Austral- ia. the outlook is now more satisfac. tory, largely as a result of a series of conferences between the representa- tives of the governmnt and the men. An effort is being made to guarantee vontinuity of employment, so that a large number of ships may be laid down and completed on the standard ized system.

HIS FAITH TO THE ANCHORAGE
 SECTIONS

Jas. E. O'Reilly, president of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce. is visiting his old time friends in Cordo- va during the time the steamer Mar iposa is in port. Mir. ORenly is on his way to the states where he will spend the next three months on bus. mess connected with the various en. terprises in which he is interested. In speaking of the conditions in Anchor age Mir. OReilly was all optimism re- garding the future of the government town and said that the development of the Matanuska farming commun- ity, Chicaloon coal fields and the Vii low creek quartz district would more, than offset the lack of railroad con. struction. ..~
 The merchants of Anchorage, he re- marked, were all carrying B large stock of merchandise and were we'll prepared to handle the winter trade, The opening of Unit F in the Chfca- loon coal fields and the Baxter mine at Moose creek he says have solved the fuel problem. While the people of the town realize that the Mariposa is probably the last steamer they will see for several months they are re- signed to their fate, especially as they have every confidence that the work of the new government dredge will make Anchorage an open port next winter and that winter sports will play an important part in the town calender this winter
 Preparations have been made for a series of basket ball games in which four teams will participate, also an ice rink has been constructed on the Municipal block.
 MT. O'Reilly was impressed with the growth of Cordova and is of the firm opinion that the towns of Alaska should work in harmony for their mu. tual advantage. He expects to return to Anchorage about the middle of February and will devote the most of his time to the Willow creek quartz property in which he is largely int crested.

BISHOP RETURNS FROM ARCTIC
 EXPERIENCES
tBy the Associated Press)

DAWSON, Y. T., Nov. 13-Bishop Stringer and Archdeacon Whitaker, of the Anglican church, returned from visit along the Arctic coast, cover ing thousands of miles on foot, in canoes and in large vessels within the Arctic circle. They have written an interesting account of their voy- age from Fort McPherson to Hers chel Island and thence to Cape Bat hurst and elsewhere. of which the ex. tracts follow;
 We started along the Arctic coast on July 19 in little schooner to visit the Eskimos. Beating headwinds for six days, we met large group of Eskimos at Pnlage Point, the place where Frank had such an unpleasant encounter with Eskimos nearly nine. ty years ago. and had so narrow an escape at their hands. But our exper- fence was altogether different. Though it was at the height of the whaling season. all hunting stopped during our three days stay and they gave all their attention to instruction and service.
 We reached Herchel Island about July 2S. It was twenty years since Bishop Stringer, then the Rev. J. o. Stringer, with his wife and infant daughter first went into residence at Herschel Island and began systematic teaching of the Eskimos. This was a score of years ago and since then many changes have taken place in the region of the islands The whal- ing fleet of '97 comprising over 29 vessels. had dwindled to five Twenty years ago the island was wide open and the arrival of a ship was the sig nal for a great debauch which affected almost the whole population. Drink and disease were destroying the peo- pie
 Fifteen years ago there was but one Canadian trading post north of the Arctic, McPher, I and but one trader, John Firth. Since that time there have been added the following Arctic Red River; Rampant House; Old Crow; Mackenzie Delta; Ei;iga, girt; Baillie Islands; Anderson liver; Fort Bacon. and the Hudson Bay head quarters and the depot at Herschel Island. This year a new post has been estableshed at Shingle Pc One | or two small schooners are trading there on their own account
 "On account of the blokade of the 1 ice none of Stefansson's vessels had returned when the party left the coast, though they were expected and | should conditions permit they may get out. It they do they should have a tale of interest to tell
