There has been considerable rivalry tfis year as to which cannery would ship the first canned salmon from Alaska, says recent issue of the Pacific Fisherman.
 For several years past the Carlisle Packing Company's plant at Cordova has been the earliest shipper. This year the first lot, including shipments of Alaska Reds from several can neries, all in the Cordova district, was sent out on the steamer Alameda, reaching Seattle during the first week of June. This included 5000 cases from the Carlisle Packing Company, wlich commenced canning May IF; 5000 cases from the Eyak River Packing Company, which started up May 22 consigned to the G.

FL PASO, Texas, Jan. 4.-American troops, veterans of the French frOn5, are expected to invade Mexico when they come home from Europe and have participated in welcome recep- tions and have visited their relatives. This will not mean a military inva- sion but will be a peaceful occupation by former soldiers seeking homes and fortunes in the rich mineralized and farming districts of the republic.
 Hardships incident to pioneering in Mexico are not expected to have any terrors for the American soldiers aft CT what they have experienced in France Neither will the incidental danger of bandit raids and robberIes frighten the men who went through Chateau Thierry. The love of adven- ture which was developed in the fight ing men in France will draw the Americans to Mexico.
 All of which is the opinion of An dres Garcia, Mexican consul general here.
 He says their smatterings of French will help them to learn Spanish better and their experience in the hospitable homes of France will make them more eager to become acquainted with the equally hospitable Mexican people and to learn their languages and ways.
 The consul general predicts heavy increase ill emmigration from the Uni ted States to Mexico after the soldiers return. He says this country offers little or no land to the returning sol diers as did Kansas. Nebraska and California to the soldiers returning from the civil war. But there is land enough for everyone seeking it in Mexico. he says, and MeXicans will welcome the hard working, energetic and ambitious American fighting men who wish to settle in Mexico and make fortunes for themselves.

GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION DROPS DURING PAST YEAR
cRr Review Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-Gold pro- duction in the United States in 1918 fell to S,S13,OOO fine ounces. worth S6S, ,49S,OOO, the lowest in 20 years, and silver production dropped to ST. S79,OOO fine ounces, worth S67,S79,0OO at the standard government price of Sl an ounce, the smallest recorded since 1913. according to the joint pre- liminary estimate of the director of the mint and the geological survey issued today. Rapid mounting of the cost of mining and refinement is as signed as the cause of the decline, which is shown by comparison with the 1917 production of $SS.750,OOO worth of gold and $71,74O,OOO of silver.
 California led as a gold producing state, the estimate showing S32,SS9 ounces valued at S17.207.000. while Colorado ranked second with 621,791 ounces, valued at $12.S5S.000. Texas is credited with producing five ounces, valued at s100.
 Montana with 15.S41, 900 ounces was the principal silver producing state.

INSP RATION HAS
 DECLARED USUAL DIVIDENED

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-InspiratiOn Consolidated Copper company de- clares unusual quarterly dividend of g per share, payable January 27 to holders of record January 10.
 Inspirations dividend record to date follows:
 19ls..............' '$2.OO 1s17..........-.-.Ss.OO 19IS...--'....- 500 1916........-... 525
 Current declaration.
 New York-In connection with the continuation of the Inspiration divi- dend an official of the company, after the directors meeting, pointed out that the company. was very strong in cash. having accumulated quite sur plus for the purpose Of paying divi- dends In addition, he said, that the company was a low cost producer. Because of the fact that the Inspira- ton does not smelt and refine its own ores it does not have as much money tied up as many other companies, like the Anaconda, and others.
 Arizona's 1918 copper production was 100,000,000 pounds over 1917, says the annual report of William B. Will son, secretary of labor.
 The situation in Arizona in 1917 was one of the chief causes leading to the appointment of the labor commission. About 2S per cent of the copper out pat of the United States is produced in four copper districts of that state In the early summer Of 1917 there were widespread strikes in those dis tricts, resulting in three months in a loss of output of 100,000,000 pounds. The commission arranged a settlement which provided for final adjustments Of all labor disputes and the fixing of wages.
 During this year wage advances ranging from 75 cents to $1 and over per day have been granted or award ed, partly as the result of increased cost of living or due to the necessity of readjusting the relative wages be, tween districts. These changes also were made without friction.
 Arizona works on the open shop principle, with grievance committees elected by all the employees recognized and dealt with by the managers in all local matters. The creation of this substitute for a trade-uniOn organiZa- Iion (which did not exist except in minor way) by the presidents media tion commission has materially help ed toward peace, because these com mittees have served as safety valves that relieved the tension, now that they can go direct to the managers for a full, free and frank discussion without fear or favor"

 Grand Island
 Within a very few weeks the shaft at this property will have reached a depth of 500 feet, and after allowing for two weeks in which to cut the sta- tion, lateral development will be initi- ated. During the past month there has been a steady buying of this stock and as high as 15 cents per share has been paid Local spectators are gambling on the possibilities of open ing up an Orebody when the large ledge which was cut on the 200 level is encountered at this greater depth, also the near certainty that the Shea vein will be found to extend across a part of the Grand Island ground.
 The Shea has recently broken into the shipping class and has already de- livered Co the United Verde Extension shelter at Verde little over IA tons of ore netting in the neighborhood of S2S00 for the entire shipment. A spirit of optimism seems to prevail regard ingthe future of Grand Island.
