of the precious metal taken from Alas kan mines since the early eighties has amounted to more than two hundred and eighty-five millions. A paltry seven million and a few hundred thou sands was grudged for the entire ter ritory only fifty years ago.
 Copper mined last year brought be- tween thirty-five and forty million dollars, and still comparatively little has been taken out. Broad fields re- main untouched.
 When Russia sold Alaska in 1867. she threw in the surrounding seas for good measure. Since then great masses of fish caught in Alaskan wat CTS have brought our people two hun dred and thirty million dollars. Each year sees the establishment of new centers and larger canneries. Fur bearing animals, too, have increased our mighty dividend by sixty-five mil lion dollars.

MOTHER LODE TO iNSTAL
 GENERATING PLANT MCCARTHY

The Mother Lode Mines Company has leased a tract of ground at Mo. Carthy from the Copper River rail way, and will install generating plant there. Crude oil will be used as fuel, this having been found cheaper than gasoline. Wires will be strung to the mine for operating the air drills and lighting the camp. Mccarthy is also to be furnished with electricity.
 The company has a force of carpen. ters at work constructing new ware houses and office buildings at the low CT terminal. Several cars of lumber have already been hauled to the mine, and there are still six cars to be sent from Cordova. The commissary sup plies and machinery will be freighted from Mccarthy before the winter trail breaks up.

MEXICO PLANS TO EXTEND |TS
 RAILROADS ,.
(By Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, April IS. - Rapid
 and immediate extension of railroads
 in Mexico is projected by the depart
 ment of communications and public
 works in conjunction with the yari- ous state governments. Arrangements
 have already been begun to complete
 the line from Santa Lucretia, on the
 isthmus of Tehuantepec line, to Me
 rida, Yucatan. This line when con- pleted will form the connecting link
 in the north and south route from
 Ciudad to Juarez, on the American
 border, to Merida. It will run through San Juan Bautista in Tabasco and Campeche. The state of Yucatan, one of the most prosperous in the republic, will finance the new line in coniunc- tion with various prosperous lines con- meeting with it. This right of way formerly was controlled by a conces- sion to foreign capital, but the con cession was declared forfeited because the holders failed to complete the work according to it's terms.
 Another projected line will connect the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mex ico, trayersing the country from east to west from Tampico, the main At lantc oil port, to San Bias, state of Nayrit formerly the territory of Tepic. This route will link up Aguas Calien. tes Zacatecas and other important cit ies with the line of the Southern Pa cific of Mexico, which now has ex- tended it's line from Nogales to Com postela, short distance south of the city of Topic
 Notice has been given by the de- partment of communications to the Pacific company that 1t must continue its line from Compostela to Guadalajara, according to it's conces- sion, and begin this work of construc- tion at once, or the concession under which the company operates in Mexi- co will be declared void. The dis tance involved is not great, but con struction involves several complicated engineering problems, including two long tunnels through the mountains. The original concession provides for bonus of 12,5O0 pesos per kilometer (about three-fifths of mile) from the government to the company for con- 'truction of this line. The department of communications in it's warning to the Southern Pacific company, de- ;lares the government will offer every aid in the building of the line, includ. ng financial assistance and expedit- ng of supplies.

BRITISH TAUGHT. THE ORIENTAL
 LANGUAGES
tBy Associated Press)

LONDON, April IS. When King George opened a school for the study of Oriental language here the other day, he placed official stamp of ap- proval on the revival of a movement that since the war has been gaining rapid headway in this country to study foreign languages. The school opened by the king is the first of it's kind in the British empire, which counts 320,- 0OO,000 citizens speaking Oriental languages.
 One of the lessons taught this coun- try by the war has been the need for wider knowledge of foreign langu- ages. The British people have learned through the war that the average Ger man knew more languages than the average Briton.

come in. A scant 65,000 people are living in that vast country ,onefifth as large as the United States. One hundred million dollars out of that three-quarters of billion formed their contribution for 1916. What it will be in 2016 no man can predict
 'The people who are going to Alas ka in these days are men with fami- lies, people who are going to stay and put their children in Alaskan schools, warm them with Alaskan coal, feed them with Alaskan meat and vege- tables, pay their bills with Alaskan gold. Normal industry is forcing the frontier. Alaskans have confidence in the legitimate resources of their great empire. They are convinced that Alaska's future will be an imposing one.
 "Inaccuracy and distortion of facts caused the faulty impressions that ex- isted in the past; but the handful of farsighted patriots who have poured their millions into American banks and business, the men who have lived the life and who know, are fast in forming the world. Few in number, as were the frontiersmen who opened up the forests of New York and Ohio, but as determined in spirit and reso- lute in purpose as were those early explorers, the sturdy pioners of Alas ka have opened up new fields of en- terprise and are today compelling at tention.
 Complaints are heard throughout the states that meat in Alaska is very scarce and high in price. Let those who so complain take comfort in the thought that soon Alaska reindeer meat will find its way to metropolitan tables, and when it does our staple beefs and muttons will find competi- tor worthy of their steel
 Tt is estimated that one hundred and fifty billion tons of coal lief in the virgin coal fields of Alaska. This coal is gradually appearing in the market Experts say some of the best coal in the world streaks the giant mountains of Alaska. With these mines opened with the new government railroad in active operation, the development of great and rich tracts, both mineral and agricultural, will follow inevitably. ''The great gold fields of the in, teriOr never have been worked ade. quately. Extended the advantages of railroad transportation, mine operat ors will soon be able to increase their output materially. Gold worth $l6, 000,0Q0 is mined each year in Alaska under present conditions. The value

ALASKA r N ] MAGN|F|CENTLY
 WORTHY

Fifty years ago today" said Secre- tary Lane in recent interview, Alaska became a part of the United States.
 We are only beginning to realize how tremendous the service was that William H. Seward performed when he secured for us that great source of wealth. When Seward was secretary of state, few men realized the great potential. value of Alaska. Popular impression held it a snow bound wild erness, land of ice and polar bears. Seward felt that the time would come when the wealth of Alaska would astound the world His judgment to- day is vindicated.
 Opposition to the taking of Alaska was as blind as it was virulent. But after fifty years, actual financial state ments show us, and prove conclusive ly, that to have neglected that oppor- tunity would have been collosal blunder, blunder future generations could never forgive.
 "A moral obligation was one Of the primary reasons that led to the pur- chase of Alaska. Russia had given us the passive support of two fleets of warships during our Civil war, and saved us from serious indignities that threatened from abroad. Russia need ed money We, of course, could not give it to her outright. but we could let her have it and take in exchange her barren North American provinces. In the face of a storm of protest the treaty was signed and fully ratified i; the Russian ambassador collected g.. 100000 from Uncle Sam; and Alaska edged her way into a protesting and inhospitable democracy.
 "Six hundred thousand square miles of territory, three hundred and eight, four million acres of land, were bought by our government in 1876 for little over seven million dollars. That lit tie flier in real estate, at two cents an acre, has brought something more than three-quarters of billion dol lars into the channels of American trade during the past bali century And the profits are just beginning to

RESTORATION IF WORTHLESS
 LAND
(By Associated Press)

BERKELEY, Cal, April IS. - T nat way to end the old warfare betw zen the smelters and the farmers has zen found is claimed by the University of California. That the solid wastes f om smelters are practically harmless to crops has now been proved by the mi that the shelter fumes, which are un- questionably harmful to crops, car be readily used up in the making of sul- phuric acid, and this by-product old profitably to the farmers to be sed for the reclamation of alkali la ds. Heretofore there has been no adeql ate market for such fume made sulph iric acid
 in many farming districts thro gh- out the west, the farmers have on tended that the solid wastes of the smelters tend to wash down into the courses of irrigation water for t rri- tory lying below the shelter pla nts. The university experimenters now state that under any circumstaI ces only very small area of agricultural land can be affected and that it s a very easy matter for shelter man age- | ments to impound the water wl,ich carries tailings or to pass stream wa ter through screens which will sapa- rate out the tailings. In land which has already been affected, the use of organic matter will cure all diff culties. or year or two of following will suffice,

MAYBERRY TO BE HAN GED ON
 RESERVATION
(By Associated Press)

SPOKANE, April IS. = Edward Mayberry, half negro and half Indian. was convicted in the United States district court at Spokane of having murdered Alice Vivian, an Indian wo- man, with whom he had lived on the Occur d'Alene and Colville indian res ervations. The killing took place near Colville. He was sentenced to be hanged.
 Because the death penalty has been abolished in Washington, the war de- partment granted permission to the United States marshal to hang May berry on the reservation at Fort George Wright, which adioins Spo- kane. President Wilson refused to commute the sentence to life impris- Onment.
 Mayberry attracted national atten- tion because the federal marshal asked permission to hang him on the roof of the federal budding here. This was refused.
