Irrcpullrity continued TO tho end
OF The gosaiuu. Tho bulk Of tho changes,
however. being In the upward dircc-
ton.
Speculation In the stock market In
expected 10 continue at fever heat
throughout thls week ut least An
othor string of million share days IL
anticipated. Public interest seems To
bo expanding rather Than decrcas'n ng
ana speculative Optimism apparently
ia ns strong as at any previous time.
Factors influencing price move
mcnts have turned more favorable.
For instance, there appears to be eN-
ccllcnt prospects, that the views OF
Italy and the other members OF the
Big -Four regarding the disposition OF
Fiume Will be reconciled. The bugn-
boo OF threatened japanese opposi-
ton 20 certain peace treaty terms
exists no longer.
Much satisfaction is being derived
from official intimations that PrcSl-
dent Wilson will cali COngress into
cxtrn session by June ], II not before.
This explains the new life ana
strength exhibited by railroad shares
during tho latter part Of last week.
ono OF the first acts Of the new Con-
Crcaa Will be- to enact financial legis-
Iation which will put railroads In
much stronger position. And there is
now only n minimum OF doubt as to
whether tho new Congress Will ratlty
tho amended League OF Nations
covenant and the Peace Treaty.
Furthermore. there has been I'm
portant Improvement In most lines OF
business, excepting steel and copper.
Bank clearings are expanding, crop
prospects are supcrlativcly good and
exports continue at record breaking
figures. And not the least OF the
favorable factors is that money con-
tlnucs In plentiful supply both for
commercial purposes and market
speculation IN spite OF the Victory
Loan campaign.
No uncaancss Is felt IN market
circles at the fact that the Victory
Loan Is only about 40 per cent sub
scribed although the campaign Is two
thirds over. while 1t Is recognized
that heroic measures are needed 10
put tho loan over tho top. 1t Is not
doubted but that when next Satur-
day night comes It will be found that
there has been an oversubscription.
Another effort will be made this
week To settle the dispute regarding
| steel prices. Officials Of the Railroad
Administration will meet steel manu-
fac turcrs In this city on Thursday. Ii

GOOD OUTLOOK AMONG QUARTZ
 MEN THIS YEAR

The year 1919 bids fair to witness considerable progress in the quartz activities of this camp. in mining, developing and prospecting, with consequent increase in tine produc. tion of the yellow metal, every ounce of which means so much to the country in the after war conditions.
 Especially so does this years promising outlook apply to the Ester district, from which several satis- factory hundred-ton mill run tests were made at the Eva mill from some of the well-known promising properties of that locality. AS q re. suit of these mill tests at least two more mills will be shipped in from the outside upon the opening of navi. gation.
 On the Smith property systematic development work is being carried on. new buildings. including a shaft house. have been erected this winter and a gasoline hoist installed. A shaft. which at the present time is down to depth of over one hundred feet on the ledge. is being develop ed and it is the intention of the owners to add to their force in the near future. AS soon as the force Is enlarged drifting work will be com. menced on the ledge. where the own CTS expect to find an increase of values. They also expect to have several hundred tons of good ore on the dump ready for milling by the time the water runs as the result of their development work
 On the Mohawk claim, thru which is supposed to run the same ledge as that on the Smith-McGlone prop erty. Tyndall & Finn are sinking another shaft. These two, with Pat Mclaughlin, have run tunnel in for a distance of more than a thousand feet on one of their properties at the head Of St. Patrick creek.
 On the well known properties of Thomas, Hagel 6 Michely. on Eva creek, for which mill was shipped in from the outside two seasons ego. stoping has been in progress for the past few months and about two hundred tons of good ore is on the dump, ready for the mill. It will be run thru as soon as the water runs in the spring.
 A very optimistic atmosphere pro vails all over this massive. minera. bearing hill. It is expected that as the short days now prevailing begin to lengthen many more outfits will be at work on this big hill locatinA or extracting ore

ORPHANS FUND
 GROWS LARGER

The fund for the fatherless child. ren of France is starting of with 8 rush for the month of February, probably because 1t is the shortest month of the year and the absence of days must be made up by the donors.
 Yesterday another contributor add ed his mite, which brot the fund up to $14300. which is good news to those in charge. This month should see one of the largest of the year. as the far off places will be report ing in. Other localities will also be reporting. as nothing has been heard from them for the past two months, all of which will make for a big month.
 It is worth while to have French orphan just to receive the letters of thanks from the mothers of the little one, whose expressions of gratitude are heart.reaching. If you want an orphan for the coming year all you have to do Is to call up the custo- dian of the orphan fund and the required information will be forth. coming.

KEYS BOYS IN FRANCE; READY.
 TO COME HOME

In the last mail a letter was re- ceived by Arthur Williams from George Keys, written under the date of December 18th at Bordeaux. France. The letter stated that the boys were in the best of health and were ready to come home any time now as the war was ended. George seemed to be well pleased over the fact that he had not been in a hos. pital for over four months.
 During their sojourn from Fair banks the boys have done considers ble travelling. First to Kelly Field. then to the Atlantic coast, thence to England and finally to France. where they are now stationed with their squadron.
 The "Yanks" have made an i'm pression on the young ladies of France, at least that is the impres. sion conveyed by Georges letter. for he predicts that many of the boys will not return to America when they are discharged. On the other hand he predicts a great rush to Alaska when the boys are mustered out of service. most of his spare time being devoted to handing out all he knows about the north to the men from the eastern part of the states, all of whom express 8 desire to visit the north. Should all come that he mentions there will never be a shortage of young men in Alaska.
 Ralph and George are In a foot ball team representing their squad. ron. and according to the letter they have cleaned up all opponents.
 Inquiry Is made regarding the cur rent events, but he is too far away to receive them by wireless. so he must wait until he comes home be- fore finding out all the late news Both the boys were shocked consid erably by the receipt of the news oi the loss of the Sophia. as they had many friends on board. The letter closes with the extending of theil kindest regards to their friends ir the north.

SOLDIERS MAY
 SECURE WORK
fThe Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Secretary of War Baker today declared that every discharged soldier who desires employment can secure 1t. To start a campaign for putting the discharg- ed men to work the secretary has is- sued request to every employer in the United States to fill all exist ing vacancies with the soldiers in preference to others who have re. mained idle all winter when the chance for work was offered.
 The labor problem, 1t appears. will not be as great one as was first thot. Several thousand positions will be open within the next few weeks. and it will probably be that time before the soldiers are ready to work as they wish to see the sights before taking up daily labor.
