SLIGHT DECREASE
 IN PRODUCTION
Mineral Production in Alaska in 1917 Slightly Less Than
 in 1916

According Co thc report Of the Territorial mining inspector. the to- tal gold production for Che year .19t7 in the Territory was S15,45O,- l5O. as compared to S1T24O,OOO in .l9i6. The value Of the placer gold produced was S9,S5O.OOO in 1917 and In 1916 it was $1l,14O,OOO. The shortage was caused by the high cost Of material and the shortage Of labor. The lode mines produced S5,- .gl2.OOO in 1916 and decreased Co .S5.25O.OOO In 1917. due to the clos ing down Of the Treadwcll mines. Thirty-thrcc gold lode mines were operated in 1917 compared to go in .l9I6.
 The copper production in 1917 was about SS,2OO,OOO pounds. val- ucd at about S24.OOO.OOO. This Is less than the production in 1916, which was 119.GOO.OOO pounds, val- ucd at S29.4SAOOO. but is greater than the production of any other year. The reduction in output was due largely Co labor troubles at the Kenuccott- Bonanza mine. During thc year l7 copper mines were opor- atcd compared to IS in 1916; eight in Che Kctchikan district; six In Prince William Sound district and three In the Chitina dt let.
 About 232 tons Of stream tim was produced in Alaska in 1917. Most of this came from the York district, where two Gin drcdges were opcr- ated
 Approximately 61,OOO tons Of coal, valued at S3OO.OOO, were mined in Alaska during 1917. Tho largest production was derived from the Eska Creek mines in tho Matanuska field which were taken over by the Alaska Engineering Commission.
 Tho value or AlaSkah leaser nlU- erals in 1917 was about as follows: Silver. $l.O5O.OOO; coal, S3OO,OOO; tln. S16O.OOO; antimony. $4O,OOO; tungsten. chromium. petroleum, mar hle, gypsum, graphite, platinum, etc., SGOO.OOO.
 The total value of the mineral production in Alaska in 1917 from an sources and an sections is csti- mated at S41.76O,OOO. exceeding that of any previous year except 1916, when it was S4S.632,OOO. The total mineral production in Alaska in Che last 33 years has been $391.- OOO.OOO.

This morning they re- turned and gave out Che reason for their mysterious departure iu Che following.
 It had been reported that an en- emy alien was located at Hydor. a few miles below Stewart. B. C.. on Portland Canal Immediately the federal authorities proceeded Go in- vestlgate with Che result that they brought one Albert Linkc. a Ger man. quite we'll known hcreabouts.

In Linkc's place He found poison iu good quantity. caps. fuses. and other things. Hc win bc iutcrnod. says Deputy sharpe.
 Along on the trip with the local federal officials were a Canadian of- ficial who was also looking for slackers or other undesirable citi- zens. His trip was not In vain. how ever. as he found four slackcrs on the American side or the line. but a little diplomacy on Che part ot the American officials. Che men crossed the line and were nabbcd.
 Deputy Sharpe believes they arc we'll on their way Co the front by this time. Two ot them claimed ex- emptlon. giving as their reason that they were swcdcs. A few questions put In by the Canadian officials TO- vealed the fact that they had been in the country several years.

a kiss on the rosy cheek. Absolutely
I saw more love in those few moments

past my corner to the club.
A month or so later Danny burst
into my office like a human. cyclone.
His hair was touseled, his freckled
face fiery red. He stared and NUT
tered something I could not under

What is wrong, Danny?" I asked,
fearing he was i'll.

'"Tha baby. A bye, tin pounds, tina

After Danny left stared at the ink

his Mary more and more to him now.
The mail man came in with a spe-

Miss Ethel, the presidents daughter.
Than a flood IF Sunshine filled tho
