 Owing to the near conformity of the judicial with the geographical di- visions of the Territory and consid- ering that the former are more defi- Eiteiy described and fixed in the pub lie mind, it has been deemed advis- able to subdivde the shipments from the United States accordingly. This has been done in the tables for the present as we'll as the previous years

 important gains will be noted in .lauy products, largely due to condi- tions heretofore stated. Losses in copper production were occasioned by labor troubles in the principal district, and in gold by the greatly curtaiIed output due to insufficient labor and other causes. Returns of furs from the Pribioff Islands and mail shipments of the same not hay ing been received, account for the discrepancy of that item.
 In order to arrive at the full value of fish products the following ex- ports, foreign should be added to the amounts shown:

literally not feel pain?
The pain was there, OF course, but YOU
had no time TO think about it and soon it
was forgotten, and meantime the con
