BALKANS APE AL n AMERICA

(By Associated Press)

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 29-American control or supervision of the Balkans is advocated by the Bulgarian Mir, in a long editorial which says in part:s
 "Of all the belligerents the Ameri-' cans alone are in position to form a true appreciation of the situation. in the Balkans. They are disinteres- ted and well acquainted with local conditions, and are in position to give everybody his due. Having such a knowledge of the Balkan peninsula they ought to have the moral will to exert their authority on their allies in the interests of justice and dem ocracy in the Balkans.
 We do not ask that America shall take our side and that she should pro tect us. We desire that she should take the defence of oppressed rights in our countries, and that she should become an impartial judge between us and her allies. We desire that she should create situation in the Bal kans that will be in agreement with the principle of national unification international justice, and true democ racy. We would like to see the Uni ted States exerting their moral influ ence not only where their materia, interests are affected but also where moral truth and sacred justice cal out to them. Devastated Macedonia cries for justice to all the world. Car America remain a silent witness wher other countries are endeavoring tC subjugate Macedonia"

ALASKA TIN '|S AN IMPORTANT !!'!|p|
 FACTOR

A recent bulletin from Washington has been received regarding the out put of tin from Alaska. It says
 ''The known tin deposits in the Uni ted States are few, but Alaska is some thing of a contributor to our much needed tin demand. Alaska lode tin was discovered, curiously enough, by a geologist of the geological survey, department of the interior, as he was helping two prospectors by crudely smelling in camp cup piece of pe- culiar looking ore which the prospect ors rightly suspected to be tin. Speci- mems of stream tin were also collect ed by survey geologists in Alaska in 1900. which was before this metal was known to occur in the territory. Soon after that time prospecting for stream tin became active, and since 1902 near ly 1000 tons of metallic tin had been produced.
 The survey has given special atten- tion to tin in Alaska. Last years out put was 139 tons, an increase of 37 tons over 1915, but 1t Is the hope of government officials that with the pre- | sent high prices the production for the present year may total as much as 300 tons. In the Seward peninsula, where placer tins was first mined the source of this stream tin has been discovered and lode mining is now being carried on. In the other known Alaskan tin locality - the Hot Springs placer tin region = geological survey men are this year searching for the source and are also urging the miners to save their stream tin.
 stream tin is rather widely distri- buted in the Hot Springs district but as yet few of the gold placer miners make any pretense of saving it. An effort is being made by the govern ment geologists now on the ground to induce the, miners to save and ship this stream tin, which should mater. ially increase the total output from the territory.
