THE GOLD CONFERENCE


 The gold confrm.c to be held in con- ncctlon with the annual convention of the American Mining Congress at St. Louis it. a few days is one of great interest to Alas ka and especially 10 the interior districts. 1t is going 10 seek solution of the eco homie problems for inc producer and if it does so il may revive the mining industry of this country beyond all hopes and cx- pcctations.
 The purpose of the conference as set forth by the announcement sent broadcast .o.1acmhcrs of the American Mining (, gross is as follows:
 The American Mining Congress is con- vinccd that the nation must now be aroused to the serious meaning of the threatened failure of the gold supply, and that this is the psychological hour to secure the con- sideration of practical program of nation- al legislation which will rchabiIitate the gold mines of thc United States.
 The necessity of maiataining our gold reserve and at the same time meeting the demands of the trade. is apparent to both producers and finmcicrs but the imprac- ticabi1itT Of changing the present price of gold without ovcrtmung the present mono tary system and affecting international re latons is also apparent
 The trade demands for gold ill the United States during the present year, ac- cording to the best obtanablc statistics. will exceed tlg total production of gold in this country by S15,000,OO0, and next year, if the present ratio of decrease in produc- ton and increase in demand is maintained, the trade ohorta@c will be $2O,OOOOO0
 The fact that the trade can purchase gold from the treasury of the United States at the coinage value, thus allowing private profit from a product which is now losing money for the producer, furnishes us with food for serious thot.
 The distress of the producers is re- fIcctcd in all mining communities and this unsatisfactory condition pertains not only to the United States but to all other gold producing sections of the world.
 What is to be done about it?
 It is for you to decide.
 That conference should be informed of the actual conditions as they effect the gold mining industry as they exist in and thru out interior Alaska. The headquarters of the Alaska Chapter of the American Min ing Congress is in Fairbanks. It has data and can give all the necessary information as to the things which must be overcome before the industry can prosper here. It has members in the states, some of whom may be in attendance at the convention, or who might be induced to go there and put Alaskas case before the conference.
 "What is to be done about it?"
 Ut is for you to decide."

CHANGING BOUNDARIES WITHIN
 ALASKA
(Juneau Emplrc1


 People in the KuslollWim country are urging that all points along that stream should be in one Alaska judicial division. and are suggesting that those parts of that section which are included within Dho ~c.- ond division should be attached .o tl. Fourth division. That there k need for a reform in the line between the FourH and Second divisions there is no question. The Second division, with its hcadmarG.r- at Nome, should include all that country gLar is tributary to Bering sea in the ti.utv of Nome, which would iuoI8de St. Ni,l.al and country contiguous to ii and a. Aa.- tic ocean drainage
 And this suggests that those u.a aagc favored the division of Alaska. bI n.uI.u the First and Third divisions one toni.url. should probably ask that tlc First. Third and Fourth divisions be included ii one commonWoalth under full territorial form of government The Fourth division will soon be moro closely connected with the Third by the completion of the N.a~s. railroad than 1t is now. Already t.n. l- connection between the Fourth division and the coast thru the Richardson roa.. shs Broad Pass and the upper Yukon vare,- way. The Fourth division is much moro closely connected with the Third aual'lrst divisions than with the Second. The #g- ter division has its connection directly with the states thru the regular SoattIe-Nt. Michael-Nome line of steamers. and the trading and whaling vessels which run be- tween the northern part of Bcriug sea OF the Arctic ocean and Seattle. Ii has very slight connection with the rest of Alaska The Fourth division has its connection with the Outside world thru either the First or Third divisions or both and there will soon be many available routes of travel between them. It is conceded that the natural out- let for the Kuskokwim country is toward the Pacific.
 And so with the occupations of the people, The Second division is bccomuv more and more section for fur and rein deer producing and Siberian trade The First, Third and Fourth divisions are giy- en to mining, lumber and general aglicuI- ture, with fishing added for the First and Third.
 These matters are worthy of very scri- ous consideration.
 One of the measures to be voted on by the members of the Alaska Industrial Uu- ion the new name for the Alaska Labor Union, is one asking the United States to recognize the Russian soviet government. If any members of the Alaska Labor Union are in favor of the soviet government it is a good time for them to come out and say so, in order that they may be deportcd 10 place where the government suits them bet ter than that of the United States.
