SALCHA OLDTIMER HAS
 CONFIDENCE IN CREEK

C. Branstetter, who has consider able ground on Caribou creek, in the Salcha district, which he is pre- pairing to operate on large scale. arrived in Fairbanks yesterday to lay in a stock of fresh supplies.
 The oldtimer has been at work on Caribou for three years, cutting a bedrock drain with which he plans to drain his ground so that he may take out the gold without inter ence from water. The ground pros poets well and Branstetter is con- fdent that the ultimate returns will amply repay him for the labor he is now expending. Branstetter and his wife are among the few oldtim- CTS left in the Salcha country.

THE COAL INDUSTRY.

The inventory of the nations re- sources that the war made neces- sary brought to light many new facts about coal mining which will be of lasting value to the industry and to the public. announces a press bulletin of the United States Geological Survey. As long as the war lasted these incidental lessons were lost sight of under the pres sure of meeting the emergency ere .ated by the shortage of fuels, but with the return of peace the ex- perience gained during the war is being gathered together in a series of reports on the industry, the first of which, Coal in 1917." by c. E. Lesher, has just been published by the United States Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior.

THE PIONEER.

The old pioneer is passing away and the younger generation is step ping into his shoes. says the Valdez Weekly Miner. Every paper one picks up nowadays records the death of an old pioneer. Many of them have been in Alaska for decades i; all came here optimistic and full of the strength and vigor that was the only asset of the true pioneer. Their hopes and fears have fructi- fled, disastrously to many. Others have acquired a modest competency and are taking life easy in their declining years.
 With the passing of these great men will go much of the history of Alaska. The old sourdough is too modest or difident to blow his own horn, and the little information ob- tained as to his deeds and experi- ences must be priod out of him piecemeal and the fragments pieced together by word-artist to bring the worth of these early residents to the notice of the rising genera tion.
 They came to this country when the latchstrings hung from every door; when the milk of human kindness flowed unceasingly and neighbor helped neghbor, with no thought of pecuniary compensation. They have builded mighty empire and have looked upon their work and pronounced it good, Towns have sprung up where their pac- shod feet trod the wilderness; great cities have grown around the small camps of the early days. Happy children romp and play about the scenes of their early privations.
 The only history preserved of the deeds of these empire builders rests in the archives of human brains, or in the scanty-kept records of the organization. 4 hundred years from now the memory of these trail builders will be perpetuated by his torical writers: but facts vii! be hard to obtain and inaccurate.
 4 fund should be set aside by the Territorial legislature for per petuating the history of the early camps and the men who founded them. But little is known of the antecedents of most of the pioneers. They came and they conquered the country They opened trails through the wilderness and prospected the creeks of the hinterland

be regarded as a distinct epoch in
 the coal industry, of which the year 1917 represented only one sec tion, but a section which, if not the most remarkable for its achieve Iments, was at once the most chaotic and the most momentous in the his tory of the industry.
 It is not difficult to marshal the events and factors that mark 1917 as unusual An extraordinary de- mand, increasing after April, when this country entered the war, and unsatished throughout the year high prices and speculation in free" coal; the first effort at regulation of prices through the Committee on Coal Production; the Pomerene amendment to the Lever Act and : the fixing of prices and appoint rlent of the Fuel Administrator by the President; labor troubles; pri- ority orders; car shortage and other difficulties in transportation; severe storms in December that blocked the railroads; the withdrawal of ships from the coastwise trade to New England; unequal distribution of coal and constant fear of a fuel famine in many sections; reluctance of many producers and distributors of coal to accept governmental reg iulations in general and the program Of the Fuel Administration as it was developed in particular.
 In response to the unprecedented demand the bituminous mines pro- .duced 551,790,563 net tons, or near ly 10 percent more than the out put of the year before. The an- thracite output was 66,911,S11 net tons. an increase over 1916 of 13.7 percent. The total output of both hard and soft coal was thus over $50. 100000 tons.
 This record output was accom- plished by labor force of sos, ,143 men in the bituminous and 154,l74 in the anthracite mines. In spite of the draft, the number of work CTS in the bituminous industry was greater in 1917 than in 1916.
 Material progress was made dur ing the year in the introduction of the eight-hour day Whereas in
 1916 about Il percent of the bi- luminous workers were employed in mines where the standard working day was longer than eight hours. in
 1917 the number in such mines had fallen to T percent The change was largely the result of reduction in working hours in Kentucky,
 Maryland, Pennsylvania (bitumin- ous), Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, particularly in the larger nonunion fields. In response to numerous inquiries statistics were collected regarding the thickness of vein which it Is profitable to mine Many people will be surprised to learn that in
 1917 more than 2O,OOO,OO0 tons of soft coal was mined from beds less than three feet thick. The per centages drawn from each thickness of seam are shown in the following table:

Confscation List Nearly
Doubled After Debts of
Peace Treaty Are Made
Known; Assembly to Act
Excess Profits Hit Hard
High Protective Duty Pro-
posed to Help Home In
dustries Recover From
War

BERLIN, June % (By The Associated
Press).-The new budget is the subject
Of long conferences and discussions be-
tween government leaders. 1t Is ex-
pected that the programme will be
ready for the National Assembly early
next month.
AS originally planned, the budget
was to make confiscations Of between
10000, 100000 and $4,000, 100000 marks
($1O,O0O 1000 and $12,50O,O0 ,OOO).
AS more money is needed, however,
the conferrees decided to extend the
confiscation list to bring in 100000 00,-
100000 to $22,500, 000.000). Payments
will be made as easy as possible, but
those who do not pay promptly will
be taxed.
Since DR.. Schiller, former Minister
of Finance, promulgated his original
budget plan the peace treaty has been
framed, necessitating the raising of
12,O0OOOO,OO0 marks more than orig
inally estimated, so that a basic re
vision is necessary. Three of the bills
to be submitted do not have a per-
manent money-raising character, but
are emergency measures.
War Profits Taxes
Under the new budget the tax on wal
profits falls into two classes and hits
individuals and corporations. Excess
profits over peace earnings would be
taxed, in the case of individuals, on
everything over 5000 marks up to TO-
600 marks at s per cent. Above 10000
marks the rate would increase proper
tionately as the profits increase until
1t reaches 80 per cent. Excess profits
earned by corporations in 1919 will
be taxed up to 80 per cent, instead OF
60, as in 1913
A "war surrender Of excess income
would be resorted to in the work OF
collecting from individuals all income
increases above 5000 marks in 1919
No decision has been reached as to
where actual confscation begins, the
government maintaining that all above
