hRl APPEAL FOR
 SPAGNUM MOSS
AIr. W. c. w eigle, K etchikan, Ala ska.
November 26, 1917

MT. W. G. Weigle,
 Ketchikan, Alaska
 November 26 1917 Fellow Patriot:-
 Sphagnum moss is greatly desired a the present time for surgical dress ings in war hospitals in France and England. This moss is very common in the Puget Sound region. It usual ly occurs in and around cranberry marshes (sphagnum bogsl but is oc. 2asionally found also in very wet places in the forests. The material desired is the young leafy stems con- monly found around the borders of the cranberry marshes, but sometimes ,orming hummocks in the middle of 0og. Exceptionally good moss is sometimes found growing over logs or oven on the ground in very wet shady places.
 The use of this moss in war hospit- als is growing rapidly and our allies are looking to us to furnish supplies or it on a scale hitherto undreamed of in this country.
 Sphagnum moss, when dry will ab- sorb twenty-times it's own weight with out dripping. Cotton absorbs much less. The pieces of moss are com monly placed in a fiat cloth sack six inches square. The pads thus made are sterilized at the hospital and are then used as dressings for wounds. They are much lighter and less heat ing than the cotton. They hold both water and pus better than cotton, and do not get foul so quickly. These sphagnum dressings are very useful in bad burns and as splnt pads for fractures.
 The Puget Sound region and Alas ka seem to be the only parts of the United States that can supply suitable moss in large quantities. The Puget Sound supply is so much more avail able that it will be drawn upon first. There is thus an opportunity for the people Of every community in which any of this moss is found to perform direct service to our country in this time of need.
 About three thousand dressings have already been shipped to France through the work of the committee op- erating at the University of Washing ton This has been accomplished wholly by voluntary labor in scouting for supplies of the moss, collecting, sorting and drying it, and putting it into the pads for dressings.
 As the first step in increasing the number of dressings produced the committee in charge wish to secure definite information in regard to the location, quantity, and accessibility of supplies of this moss. It will be Of great service if you will report to the undersigned in regard to any SUD- plies of this moss that you may know of or may be able to find, giving the distance and direction from the nearest town and an estimate of the quantity Of moss available. The estimate might be in the form of the number of acres Of good usable moss or of the num- Der Of potato sacks Of the fresh wet moss that could be obtained
 I hope that we may have an early report from you. This is an oppor- tunity for valuable patriotic service. The work has the approval Of the Red Crosg.
 Very truly yours.

$4OO,OOO,
Southwestern Alaska

Some developments were continued on the copper deposits of the lliamna region, but as yet there are no pro- ducing mines in this field. A small cyaniding plant was installed and op- erated to handle the old tailings of the Apollo mine, on Unga Island. A large body of low-grade auriferous quartz is said to have been found on the south side of Unga Island, about 3 miles from the Apollo mine. Some auriferous gravels were found in 1916 on the east side of the Alaska Peni- nsula. between Cold and Katmai bays. 1t appears that the placers were found on only one creek, and the out put was only few hundred dollars. The discovery, so far as known is of importance only in marking a new To- cality where auriferous mineraliza- tion has taken place. Beach placer mining was continued on Kodiak and Popof islands.

HOW AN OLDTIMER
 DIED UP AT NOME

The many friends of George Hal were surprised and saddened this morning to hear of his sudden death last night. Although he had been having some trouble with his stom
 ach for several months he seemed in fairly good health until yesterday forenoon when he felt pain in the reg
 ion of his heart and summoned his physician, Dr. Chace, who did all that could be done for him. He died at nine o'clock. George Hall went to Dawson in the early rush and engag- ed in mining. When Nome was still a young camp he came here and went into the saloon business in which he remained ever since. He was square, friendly and right in all his dealings with his fellows and as a result had a host of warm friends in this place. His home was Los Gates, Cal, where he still owned a residence up to his death. He was unmarried and is sur vived, it is stated, only by sister and neice. He was member of the Eagles and Moose.-Nome Nugget.

A statement from President Wilson was also introduced to the effect that the exact fact was that Tumulty knew nothing of th, note until it's publication. In ddoi- tion Co this TumuIty says all of the White House attaches were compete ly ignorant of it. Wilson wrote thc note on his own typewriter. The only attempt to prove anything against the witness was that he intro duced Gerard, the American ambaS- sador to Berlin, to the Hibbs Com pany, Washington brokers, but Yum ulty denied absolutely that he engag ed in the slightest stock transactions. Tumulty then severely chastised Con- gressman Woods for ever mentioning his name in the matter and said sig nifcantly that he is awaiting an apology.

MINING REPORT
 FOR THIS DIST.
U. s. GOVERNMENT GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SAYS SUSITNA
 BASIN OUTPUT $iOO,OOO.

The following is the report of the government geological survey on min ing development for this district for last year:
 Kenai Peninsula and Susitna Regions
 The rebuilding of the old Alaska Northern Railroad, now in Govern ment ownership, leading inland from Seward, stimulated mining develop ment in Kenai Peninsula. The pro duction from placer mining did not increase however, and there were no lode-mining operations except some small development work. On the other hand, in the Susitna basin, which is also served by the govern men railroad, there was marked ad- vance in mining. About 60 miles of railroad are now being operated from the town of Anchorage. Its immedi- ate tributary territory includes the Matanuska coal field and the Willow Creek lode district The coalmining developments have been noted above. In the Willow Creek district four lode mines were operated in 1916, compar- ed with three in 1915. A dredge was installed in the Yentna placer district, and hydraulic operations were contin- ued in the Valdez creek district. The value of the total mineral output of the Susitna basin in 1916 was about S4OO, ,OOO.
