bles from the ocean beach about six miles from his mining claim and twelve miles from Lituya Bay. In order to get them out it will be nee essary to get a twelve-mile road built, and the proper authorities will be asked to construct the road.
 James P Burke, who has mining property in the Lituya Bay country, has offered his services to MT. Camp bell in getting out and delivering the pebbles. He says the Forestry Ser vice had already recommended the construction of the road when it was in search of aeroplane lumber. He says it is entirely practicable.
 The Alaska-Juneau mill uses grind ing pebbles as well as the Alaska Gastineau, and if the flint pebbles from Lituya Bay should prove sati5- factory there is likely to be a con- siderable business developed in fur nishing the material to those and other mines.
 These pebbles could be secured, delivered at Juneau and transported at any place along the coast, accord ing to estimates that have been made, in successful competition with the pebbles from other sections of the world.

 From Lituya Bay.

Jack Campbell, Juneau pioneer and mining operator in the Lituya Bay district. has undertaken to furnish the Alaska Gastineau Mining Com pany with 25 tons of grinding pebbles for it's mill at Thane. The terms oi the contract require the delivery o1 the pebbles at the Thane dock with out charge unless they prove satls' factory for the purposes desired. II they can be used to advantage, the contract calls for the payment to be based on the value of the service secured from them at the same rate the service rendered by the adament cubes furnished by the Jasper Quarry Company of Illinois now costs.
 The contract calls for pebbles not less than 2R inches in diameter, and not over four inches.
 The Lituya Bay pebbles have been used successfully at Chichagoff, and are believed to be capable of render ing the service required at the Thane mills.

IRISH BANKS SHOW INCREASE
 OF DEPOSITS

DUBLIN, Aug. 10 Correspondence of Associated Press) The Cork h. dustrial Development Association has decided to send commission to the United States to promote Irish trade interests there, and Irish manufac- turers and other buyers or sellers in the American market are showing keen interest in the enterprise.
 In this connection the reports of five Irish banks are made public. They show that the amounts they hold on deposit and credit accounts total 396,OOO,00O, beng an increase of nearly 325,O00,0O0 over last year. It is estimated that when the results of the Royal bank and of the three Belfast banks are known and added the total Irish bank deposits will be seen to be about 315O,000,O0O.
 The project of making Galway a great transatlantic port has been re- vived. The scheme proposed would cost G2,000,O00, of which parties in- terested would put up seven hundred thousand and ask the government to supply the balance. A deputation to the government has been arranged.
 Since the Irish housing bill has passed through parliament the local authorities have submitted for the approval of the local government board proposals for PA sites, com- prising more than 1,O34 acres. Of these, forty-one have been approved already, coving 789 acres, and suf- fcing for 5,586 houses. The chief housing activity so far is in Munster, which has put forward more than half of the projects.

NOBLE FAMILY
 WERE DIVIDED
 IN ALLEGIANCE

ELOIS, France, Aug. 30 (Corres- pondence of Associated Press) The domain of Chambord, one of the rich est and most interesting of the cha teau districts of Touraine, and which is included in the sequestered enemy property in France, will become the property of the state if a petition signed by practically the entire adult population of the department of the Loir-et- Cher is granted.
 Chambord, which for years has been visited annually by thousands of tourists, was hunting preserve in 1519, when Francois began to trans form it into a royal country seat. Since then it has served as resi- dence for Henry II, Charles TX, Louis XIII, Louis XIV, Stanislas and the last Count of Chambord, pretender to the throne of France under the title of Henry V.
 On the death of Henry V, the elder branch of the Bourbon family became extinct and the domain of Chambord, with it's magnificent Renaissance cha teau, passed into the hands of the Spanish Bourbons.
 The dozen or more princes who had an interest in the property at the outbreak of the war were divided III their sympathies. Two of the princes of Bourbon Parma, Sixte and Xavier, fought with the allies in the Belgian army, others fought against them with the Austrians. One of the prln- cesses of the family, who became en- press of Austria, was suspected Ill the Central Empires of lukewarmness to- ward their cause. The question now has arisen how to distinguish between friend and foe in such cases. On one point the people of Touraine are agreed, and that is that the occasion for the state to take possession of the property should not be missed.

OPIUM IS STRUGGLED THROUGH MEXICO
 TO UNITED STATES

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 12 (by maiD A shipment of crude opium con signed as Japanese "cigars'' was inn ported in Mexico through Salina Cruz on March 30, 1917, from Kobe, Japan, according to declarations made hy w. K, Hermann, described by the papers here as a "German banker" in a deposition made in court, follow ing a vigorous anti-Opium campaign by the press.
 Except for a raid made by police and health officials and the legal inquiry in which Hermann figured, the opium expose has not been pressed in the courts. Although Hermann, in his deposition, did not give the size of the shipment imported in 1917, the newspapers declare it tOtaled "5,0OO kilograms and that, at present prices. was valued at 3,5OO,000 pesos.' In the raid crude opium valued at 23,000 pesos was seized, it is said, and thOus- ands of tiny empty tins, supposedly used for retailing the prepared drug, were found.
 According to the newspapers, the profits of the opium trade on the one shipment referred to, ran into mil lions of pesos. It is said that an in volved system of smuggling resulted in most of the narcotic being sold in the United States. It was shipped as "cigars," sent over the line in auto mobiles equipped with double gaso- line tanks, and carried across in hand baggage by a band of Germans, ac- cording to the revelations here.
 Since the Mexican law does not pro- hibit importation of opium, the fed eral department of health being con- cerned only in it's sale, the drug deal CTS confined their operations to sales by devious methods ill the United States. Branches of the organization are said to have operated at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, New York and San Francisco
 During ther campagn aganst the traffic, the papers printed charges and names of personages as though libel laws did not exist.
