TO MINE FOR SULPHUR
 IN ALEUTIAN ISLANDS

For the first time in the history of Alaska the mining of sulphur on considerable scale will be started in a few months on one of the islands of the Aleutian group, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The Alaska Sul- phur Company, made up of Chicago capitalists, is launching the new un. dertaking and will ship steamer load of machinery north within a short time to begin operations. The prod uct will be shipped to Seattle and distributed from there to markets in various parts of the country.
 To carry the first shipment of tram cars, tracks, engines and machinery and marine agent has chartered the coast steamer Horace X. Baxter from the San Francisco firm of J. H. Bax- ter X Co.,, acting in behalf of the Alaska Sulphur Company. The steam ship arrived on the Sound recently and will make trip to San Pedro with a cargo of piling, after which she will return to Seattle to load for the North. She is chartered for one trip and the company plans later to charter or buy one or more steamers to take the output to Seattle.
 The sulphur deposit is located on Akun island, about ten miles from the whaling station on Akutan island. Ex- perts for the company have gone over the ground in the past few seasons and have blocked out a supply which will permit of capacity output for many years.
 Sulphur is used in the process of makinig paper, and the paper mills of the Pacific coast will consume large part of the shipments from the Aleu- tian island mine.
 On her return from the South the Horace K Baxter will go to Belling- ham to load lumber for the constrnc- tion of quarters and mine buildings, and will return to Seattle to take aboard shipment of tram cars, ca bles, rails, hoisting engines and other equipment
 She is to sail from Seattle in about month, carrying crew of work men who will get the property ready for mining operations. Additional crews will leave later on in the sea son, to start mining. The company has arranged to secure a nurnoer of scows at Unalaska and plans to op crate the mine all the year round

COOPERATIVE STORES
 OF ALASKA NATIVES

The Metlakahtla Commercial Com panay, a stock company composed of Indians on Annette island, Alaska, de- clared a dividend of 20 per cent cash on it's capital stock, 10 per cent cash dividend on purchases by stockhold- CTS, and a 15 per cent stock dividend for the twelve months ending Dec. 31, 1918, according to J. c. Helwig, as sistant to the superintendent of edu- cation of the natives of Alaska
 The Hydaburg Trading Company, composed oi Indians on Prince of Wales island, declared an per cent cash dividend on its capital stock, z per cent cash dividend on purchases to stockholders, and 4 per cent stock dividened on it's capital stock for the twelve months ending December 31, 1918, and the Klawock Commercial Company, on Prince of Wales island, also composed of Indians, declared 15 per cent cash dividend on it's cap ital stock and an per cent stock dividend, said MT. Helwig.
 With the exception of assistance that is given by the teachers of the Alaska bureau of education and the annual auditing of accounts by the three corporations is conducted en- tirely by Indians. Indians own vir- tually all the stock in the three con- cerns
 "A departure this year for the Met lakartla Commercial Company was the China contract, by which the company furnished Chinese labor to the Annette Island Packing Company" said MT. Helwig. "The results were very satisfactory to the Metlakahtla company, and it is not unlikely that this practice will be continued. Chi nese labor heretofore has been fur nished by special contractors
 Twenty-Five thousand dollars was needsd to finance the enterprisee At the end of the season the packing company paid the Metlakahtla con- pany at the rate of 47 cents a case, from which the company paid for the labor and was able to declare profit.
 "The Metlakahtla company was or ganized three years ago, the Hyda- h11ror copnnopv oovo, opd +1,o DJ,,r..1x company five years ago.
 "The board of directors of each of the companies is made up of Indians, who hold regular monthly meetings. The managers and clerks of the com panies are Indians. The school teach. CTS in the districts keep the books and give advicee. Once a year an auditor is sent North by the Alaska bureau of education to examine the accounts
 When the companies were organ ized the Indians specified that an an- nual government inspection must be made, the same as in the postoffice department"
 MT. Helwig's report shows that the Metlakahtla Commercial Company in the twelve months ending December 3l, 1918, made sales amounting to $4O,OOO, giving net profit of $9,6O2.39; capital invested, $21,14O.
 Hydaburg Trading Coompany- Sales, $31,5OO; net profit, $4,10472; capital invested, $19,577.50.
 Klawock Commercial Company Sales, $34,5O0; net profit, $3,130.5S; capital invested, $12,79O.

EXPLAINS HOW SOLDIERS CAN SECUREB0NUS

Explaining officially for the first time how to go about getting the $6O bonus which congress recently voted every discharged soldier, sailor or marine, the office of Major J. F.. Douglas, United States depot quarter master in Seattle, has prepared mem orandum which shows that simple letter will bring the extra compen- sation, provided it states the required facts as to service and is accompa- nied by the soldiers discharge papers.
 To make what is required abso- lutely clear sample form of letter was prepared in the office of Captain J. F. Hinton, finance assistant to the depot quartermaster in Seattle. Chief Clerk o. c. Cove, who has made a lonog study of army finance, worked out this form as one which every for mer service man can use, and be sure that he will not go wrong.
 Text of Form Letter
 The form letter and Chief Clerk Gove's remarks as to the papers to be attached or inclosed follows:
 From: Name and address.
 "To: Zone Finance Officer, Lemon Building, Washington, D. c.
 Subject: Bonus.
 Il. In accordance with Sec. 140G of the revenue act of 1918, I hereby make claim for $6O additional pay to discharged soldiers, and inclose here with the following papers, viz:

 Name
 "Remarks.-Officers 4nakinig claim for this $60 will submit their discharge certificate. If no discharge certificate was issued, the officer will submit the order for discharge or relief. If he has a discharge certificate and an or der for discharge or relief, he will submit both papers. The paper bear ing the notation of final payment is required in all cases. An enlisted man win submit his discharge certificate Both officers and enlisted men will submit statement showing all mili- tary service that they have had since April 6, 1917, showing particularly the place and date of reporting at first military station. All claimants should show the address to which they wish check to. be sent. Particular atten- tion should be paid to this matter of address and an effort should be made to give such address that there will be no necessity for making change If change of address is made the of- flee of the zone finance officer Lemon building, Washington, D. C., should be notified"
 Address Zone Prince Officer
 Chief Clerk Cove emphasized that the letter should be addressed to the zone finance officer, Washington, D. C., not to the depot quartermaster or to other quarteremasters or finance officers in different parts of the coun- try. The discharge papers forwarded must be the originals, not certified copies, and they should be registered at the postoffice and receipt requested. Great care should be taken in all let ters that all facts and dates cited are accurate.
 Soldiers now being discharged from the service are paid the s6O bonus at time of discharge, and 1t is not neces- sary for them to have any correspon- dence whatever. Soldiers already dis charged, however, and who have been paid in full on discharge, can get this bonus only by writing to the zone finance officer in Washington
 Those Entitled to Bonus
 Easing his opinions on long tele. gram received from the director of finance in Washington, D. C., Chief Clerk Cove has formulated the fol- lowing opinions with regard to who would and who would not be entitled to the bonus, emphasizing, however, that these opinions are not official, as they may be controverted by rul- ings of the war department or the comptroller of the treasury:
 Those who will get the bonus-All persons who have served in the mili- tary and naval forces of the United States, including officers, enlisted men and nurses, and who have resigned or been honorably discharged since April 6, 1917, or, in the case of reservists, who have been returned to inactive duty in the reserve, instead of being honorably discharged, as has been done in the navy.
