POOR WINTER WHEAT CROP

Smallest Yield Since 1904 Indicated.
Other Conditions Favorable.
In the face Of a threatened world
food shortage the American winter
wheat crop shows the lowest condition
recorded since 1888.
1t promises a smaller yield than any
other since 1904.
The forecast of the department Of
agriculture indicates q production Of
30G,116,O00 bushels. The area to be
harvested is 27,G53,O00 acres. The con-
dition was 1872 per cent Of normal on
May I.
In commenting on the showing the
department said:
although prospects for win: err
wheat are very poor 1t should be OBJ
served that in other respects agricul.
tural conditions are favorable. The
extent Of blowing and planting done
by May 1 was above the average.
"In 1912 the winter wheat crop fell
below 400,000,000 bushels, the lowest
since 1904, but Notwithstanding this
low production Of winter wheat, the
spring wheat crop and total production
of all crops in that year were the
largest on record.
1.-THE abandonment Of acreage plant.
cd Is the heaviest ever recorded, near.
ly thirty-one per cent of the acreage

with a production of 4S2,0OO,000 last
year. G74,O00.000 in 1915 and 1876.

CHROME DEPOSITS OF ALASKA

(By w. P Lass in Mining and Scientific Press)
 The deposits of chrome in Alaska have, until recently been rather overlooked by the industrial com panes of our country and 1t was not until the rise in the price of chromite that local operators have undertaken to market the The more important known deposits the extreme far point of Kenai traced eight miles inland. Although sys- temac prospecting has been done to any great dis tance from the edge of salt water, there neverthe less several where important deposits of chrom te have been explored. Notable among these are the deposits at Red Mountain, described in the U. S.. Geological Survey Bulletin 587
 I called upon examine these deposits in the fall of 1916 and although shown several expos ures containing from a few hundred to thousand tons of hghgrade ore, they not deemed worthy of development by local capitalists who in turn, had to depend upon selling their in very unstable market. Should the present demand for chrome ore continue, however, throughout the coming more thorough prospecting and development of this belt will take place.
 Although the conditions for marketing have not justified large expenditure in this region there deposits nevertheless so close to salt water as to accompanying photograph shows workmen removing the top, quarry fashion from highgrade deposit of chromee. Approximately 1000 tons of ore, contain ing from 46 to 59 cent. chromium oxide, was re- No development work done to determine the ex- tent of this deposit, and there remains approximately 1000 tons of ore in sight above the line of high tide The between high and low tide is IS to 20 feet wide and contains from 48 to 52 per cent chromium oxide No development plans for the working of this deposit below the line of high tide have been made. Some shipments of this were made by barges to the docks at Port Graham and Seldovia and thence by freighters to Seattle but the greater part of the shipments lightered direct from the beach to steamers anchored about 300 yards off shore. The present freight 100-ton shipments to Seattle is $350 per ton. From Seattle to Atlantic Coast points the railroad rate is SIP ton As this ma teral is essentially product, difficulty has arisen in obtaining and satisfactory deliveries to Eastern points have accordingly been made.

The sinking of five German submarines in one day and the great Italian victory at the Pave river make pretty good day of warfare for the Allies, and they both significant. The indications are that Italy will again become a potent force in the Her people enthused, and they will re- double their efforts to punish the Austrian and Ger man invaders. While the extent of the Italian victory cannot yet be determined, it has at least put heart in Italy.
 And the destruction of five German submarines in one day Is significant. Coming the of it does, after the of the British Ad- miralty that from 40 to 50 per cent of the German submarines which have been used in the have been destroyed captured. it emphasizes the convic- tion that successful methods of fighting the undersea craft have been worked out

FRIGHTFUL LOSSES

The loss of the Mariposa's cargo, one of the most valuable to be sent of Alaska this year. eb- most valuable to be sent out of Alaska this year, valued in the neighborhood of half million dol frghtfu loss of foodstuffs gold and copper m1to at a time when 1t is needed To this great loss must be added the ship herself of the useful in the Alaska service, and it, too, a time when the need for bottoms greatest in the history of the country and of Alaska
 This marine disaster, and the loss by fire of about a half million dollars worth of canned salmon through fire and the loss of the AlKi make an ap paling sacrifice to the elements this year The loss will, of course fall heaviest upon insurance com panies but the loss is minimized by that as ar as the country at large is concerned.
 There is comfort in the circumstance that these calamities were not attended by the loss of human life but at time when the country is so greatly ir need of foodstuffs and metal and gold and ships il has been of very hard luck
