WHY THEY WANT HIM.
(ValdeZ Prospector.)

The Juneau Dispatch tries to make it's readers believe that Governor Strong is great man because he turned against his party. If Republican has occupied the gubernatoria chair and had committed the crime against his party that the DemOcratic incumbent has done the Dispatch would emit like steam siren. Which goes to show that it is simply question of the Dispatch running both parties instead of laying down until its in office. Benedict Arnold and several other old time American citizens also achieved considerable notoriety along these lines, but we have recollection of boQuets being bestowed upon them The victors have generally divided the political spells in Aasak since the good old days of Secretary Seward and there is that the opposition of the Dispatch should change this honored custom. Were the Governor loyal Demo- the Dispatch would have believe his ment would be less conspicuous and of benefit O the recipient.

PINEAPPLE CROP
FOR 1917 Brings
100000 HERE

While complete ssures on the crops
and valuation have not yet been COM
piled by the various pineapple Gamer
les, data available shows a banner
shipment this season. While only a
few canneries were unable to exceed
last years exports, the majority of the
packers predict that their shipments at
the end of the fiscal year will greatly
exceed the 1916 crops. Numerous can
neries are still in operation, and it is
expected that they viii be running for
six or seven weeks before the supply
of pines is exhausted.
The Matson boaJs have been taking
out, on the average, $4,000 to 10000
cases of pines each week. Estimates
place the cases on hand, waiting TO be
shipped TO the mainland, at 100000.
Conservative estimates on the total
amount of cases that will have been
shipped by the local canneries at the
end of the fiscal year, place the total
at 2,500, 900 cases. The San Francisco
market quotes a case of Hawaiian
pines at little above So, but allowing
the minimum of So per case, this
years valuation should easily reach
$500, 900. The Hawaiian Pineapple
company alone has SO far shipped APP
proximately $4,000 cases, and expects
to export nearly 10000 more before
the season enGs.
Complete data will not be available
before another month, according to
officials of the various companies, as
the canneries have large supply of
pines on hand t. be packed and ship

ENGELS COPPER
RAILROAD OPENS
Up RICH SECTION

The Inauguration Of the new Indian
Valley railroad extension from Paxton.
on the Western Pacific system, to the
Engels Copper mines, in the Sierras,
has opened up one OF the most valu-
able sections of country in the state,
according to testomony brought out at
a recent meeting Of the interstate
commerce commission. The new In
dian Valley extension was built by the
Engels Copper company to tap their
mining districts, with the result that
other mining companies are Consid-
ering locating in the vicinity of the
Engels mine.
Some very rich deposits Of copper
have been found in the vicinity of the
Engels property, and several eastern
firms have already started operations
on the adjoining territory. Since the
road has been built a manganese depo-
sit, apparently OF considerable value,
has been opened Up at the Crescent
mills, and the output Of gold mine
has been materially increased since
the railroad has been put in opera
ton.
The United States Smelling COM
pany, the Walker Mine and the Inter.
national Smelling company, a consti-
tuent of the Anaconda Mining com
pany, have been encouraged to start
operations entirely through the build
ing of the small railroad.
An application has been made to
the commission to sell $150,00O Of the
capital stock of the Indian Valley rail-
road without permission from the En-
gels Copper CompanE. a hotel, round

has shown a little moro activity. Sales
of moderate amounts have been max
ing almost daily to local Tefiners and
also to Canadian refiners. The great
err part of the business to local refin-
ers has been to cover export sugars to
our Allies and U. S. government needs.
The Atlantic ports receipts are g.
$50 tons, with MEETINGS at 81 900 tons,
reducing stocks to 56,02S tons. We es-
innate that there are about 10000
tens of Cubas abloat to Atlantic ports
which, with Hawaiians on the way.
gives a total supply owned by Eastern
refiners of 10000 tons. There are
about $4,000 tons of Cubas unsold III
Cuba. If the $4,000 tons OF unsold
Cubas are secured by our refiners,
there is a sufficient supply of sugars
to last Tefiners about for weeks at
present rate of MEETINGS.
If the Cuban holders of unsold sugar
decline to reduce their views, these
sugars will remain in Cuba indefinite
ly. as it is not likely that the food
administration will allow local refin'
ers to pay their asking prices or com.
pete for these sugars. thus causing all
advance in prices. If these 50,o09
tons are not secured by our refiners
their supply is correspondingly reduc-
ed.
