A substitute air gas, that will take the place and can be used for the same purposes as gasoline, dis tiuate, cooking gas, Illuminating gus or heating gas, has been invent ed by Charles Warner, of Juneau and a member of the local ElkS ledge, says the Empire of January 3. Mr. Warner is 8 mechanic and inventor and has been working on his invention for the past two years. He has now brought it to a point where he is making practical tests and is demonstrating the production to his friends.
 The gas is produced by blowing air through tanks containing a dry powdered chemical and is ab- solutely dry when produced. Water thrown into the tank, or even heavy oils dc not interfere with the pro ductiCn of the gas. It has already been used to run 8 gasoline engine under tests made by MT. Warner.
 A small cylinder, ten inches long hy five inches in diameter, will hold enough chemical to produce 1500 cubic feet of the gas. The storage space needed to hold 200 gallons of gasoline, which will run the or dinar gasoline boat for two days, will hold enough chemical to run the beat for six months. The cost of th4 compound is said to be about hal' the present cost of gasoline.
 Most gases of this kind will not explode from an electric spark when confined, but no such trouble is

Wash. D. c. Jan. 9.-The value of the total mineral production of Alaska in 1916 is estimated to have hen $5O,9OO,OOO; that of 1915 was $32,S54,OOO and was itself greater than in any previous year. Tbe increase in 1916 was therefore over $1S,OOO,OOO,, or more than 54 per cent. Although this enormous increase in output was in large meas urc due to the large tonnage and high Urlce of copper, yet nearly all other minerals were produced iH greater quantities than in the pre- vious year. During 32 years of min ing Alaska has produced over $351 900 ,ooo worth of gold, silver, copper aud other minerals.
 It can not be expected that Alas ka will continue to produce so much mineral wealth each year, yet the

JUNEAU MAN MAKES A NEW GAS

fcun with Mr. Warmers discovery whic; has been used to operate a gasoline engine and worked per fec'ly. A small tank of the chemi- cal could be sst UL in a house with an attached air tank, with a 2 pCun weight, and would generate sufficient gas tc furnish light, heat and cooking facilities fer the ordi- nary family for months.
 Air can be delivered through the chemical at any pressure from two to 11O pounds and the gas gener- ated will correspond in pressure to tLa- f the air. MT. Warner is not giving his find much publicity as ye', but claims that it will reyolu- tionize the entire gasoline engine industry, from marne engines to auto and aeropIanes. One of the big drawbacks of the aeroplane in dustry at the present time is the inability to carry enough fuel for loug voyages. Mir.

ASK LONGER TENNIS SEASON
Only Trifle Over Three Months of Com
petition Out of Doors-Players
Want More Time.

Lawn tennis has gradually attracted
such an army of devotees that there
has followed the real desires ON the
part of the players to prolong the sea :
son out of doors.
So far as the records of several
years show for anything, there is at
best only trifle more than three
months of competition on turf and clay
surfaces before the changeable wealth
err causes the wielders Of the racquet
to seek the enjoyment of the indoor
game on the board courts of the arm
cries. This Immediately limits the
amount of playing time and the num-
Der of players. 1t has not been the
most satisfactory arrangement for
those ardently devoted to the sport, so
that gradually there has been some ex-
perimenting as to ways and means by
which the outdoor season might be
heightened so as to offer fair sport for
the followers of the courts.
1t has been realized for some time
that earth courts, even when in perfect
condition, do not solve the problem.
The frost and the rains of the autumn
soon cause the clay surfaces to be I'M
satisfactory. What the frost and rain
leave undOne the brisk autumnal
breezes accomplish, especially when
the playing surfaces have been liber-
ally sanded. The result has been to
turn the attention of some of the play
ers to court playing surfaces of boards
and of concrete.

His prediction is based On the vastly
improved form of American players
which, to Ward, was the feature of the
1916 golf season. If this improve
ment in playing form continues, says
the veteran, American golfers as a
class should at least be the equal, if
not the superiors, of the English and
Scotch players.
what surprised me most" said
Ward, was the improved playing style
of the majority of golfers. 1t was only
a short time ago that about one golfer
in ten played in correct form. This
season / would say that seven out of
ten knew the proper way to play their
clubs. Those showing the best form
were the young fellows.
"This means that most of the pres
ent stars who helped to make the sport
so popular will be compelled to stand
aside. With the proper instruction of
our young players l should say that
within ten years our golfers will be
the best in the world"
