Additional tin, however, was recovered by sluicing. The first important pro duction of Alaska tin was reported in 1902, when the output was 15 tons. Since 1912 the average has been over 100 tons annually.
 The recent discovery of placer tin has been reported in 1902, when the output was 15 tons. Since 1912 the average has been over 100 tons an- nually.
 The recent discovery of placer tin has been reported from Potato and Humboldt creeks, on Seward Penin- sula, and from Moran Creek, tribu- tary of Melozi River, where the gray els are said to contain 2 1-2 pounds Of tin and 10 cents worth of gold to the rcubic yard. | Six Million Dollars in Placer Gold.
 The value of the placer gold pro duced in. Alaska in 1918 was about S5, 100000. The production in l9t7 was $9S1O,OOO. The decrease in 1913 was general throughout the Territory except in the Copper River and Vent na districts and some of the smaller Yukon districts. The decrease was due mainly to curtailment of opera tions because of shortage of labor high cost of supplies, and uncertainty as to future conditions. Local de creases were due to unfavorable cli' l matic conditions and to the depletion of some of the richer placers.
 It is estimated by the U. $. Geo logical Survey, Department of the In
 terior, that about 574 placer mines were operated in the summer of 19ls
 and 153 during the previous winter but many for only part of the sea
 son. About 5000 men were engage' in productive placer mining in thu , summer and SIS in the winter. In ad dition several hundred men were en gagged in prospecting or other nonpro ductive work relating to placer min ing. <.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
 TO HELP ARIZONA STAMP
 OUT VENERfAL DISEASES

Arizona is to receive $2,25O of the $1OO, 100000 appropriated by the Fed eral Government to help in the fight for the suppression of venereal dis eases. This state appropriated sim liar amount. The fund of $4,5O0 thus made available for the year ending June 30, 1920, is only enough to al low of work being done in those com munities that are able and willing to help themselves.
 Dr. z. Causey is directing the ac- tivity for the State Board of Health. He is working in conjunction with the U. s. Public Health Service. It is hoped that satisfactory results can be secured in Kingman. |,
 The records of the U. s. Surgeon General showed that among the sec ond million draftees at the mobiliza- tion camps 45 out of every 1000 men from Arizona were infected with ven ereal diseases. The death statistics of the State Board of Health show that there were Il deaths from syphilis during the first six months of 1919. Of this number, six were females Venereal diseases do not often kill directly. They cause insanity, ster. ility, loathsome sores, locomotor at axia, and frequently make their vic tins long for death which would be g relief.
 The campaign against venereal dis. ease is based on the following facts 1st, venereal disease can be prevented End, they can be cured. All that ii needed, according to the State Boart of Health, is the desire of the com munity to be freed from the plague and the willingness to contribute thu money it will cost to maintain a clinic where indigents can be treated free and a detention home where womel who may be infected can be detained forcibly, when necessary, until the! can be discharged from quarantine.
 The state supplies the arsephena mine for treatment free of cost.

PARIS. France, January 2o.-Wlll
America be able to bring the knowl-
edge of her experts to bear on the
complicated problems at the confer
ence?
This question seems to have been
solved by the plan of rotation of
delegates, which was explained by
Premier Clemenceau when in the
chamber of deputies, replying to
deputies who had expressed a fear
that France would be improperly
represented. he declared that the
Same men need not act as commits
sioners throughout the conference.
and that the nations might put ex-
pertS on matters under discussion.
There is no question:" he said,
which cannot be treated by COM
petent men OF each nation.
This holds good for the league of
nations and for all political, economic
and commercial questions. Conse-
queRtly the representation of all inter-
ests is assured" Certainly this is ex-
tremely favorable to France England
and Italy, which are able to summon
experts at n days notice. England is
even able to bring men in a few
hours by aeroplane. America, how
ever. must either anticipate the is
sues and summon men to come or
have them on the ground during the
conference to avoid waste of time
There arc few American experts in
Paris, and some departments are
weakly represented. Bernard M
Raruch, Edward Hurley and Vance
C. Mccormick are the most prominent
of the experts here. The rotation plan
gives the President an opportunity to
call the best informed men on various
subjects to Paris.

New Awakened World.

There Is a new awakened world. It

light in this welcome, therefore, as if I
had brought the people of the United

THE sum of the whole matter is that
France has earned and has won the
brotherhood Of the world She has stood
at the chief post Of danger, and the
thoughts of mankind and her brothers
everywhere, her brothers in freedom,
turn to her and center upon her. If
this be true. as believe it to be, France
is fortunate to have suffered. She is
fortunate to have proved her mettIe as

has tied to herself, once and for all. all

Premier Lenin, apprehensive OF po-

ecutive committee OF the soviet con-

posal was defeated by a majority Of

such and who fear that intervention
might result IN a counter revolution
and the restoration of the monarchy

American experts are said to be-
lieve that babbitt metal for bearings,
lubricants, repair parts for IocoTno-
tives and -four mills and other ar
ticles fall in virtually the same cate
CORY as foodstuffs, since it IS OBJ
vious that enemy countries have no
adequate facilities for milling flour
and distributing food after it is i'm

Some American economic experts ad-
vocate for enemy countries, at least
Austria Hungary, and possibly Ger
many, Il further relaxation Of the
limited quantities of raw materials.

These imports, however, would not
be enough to permit the central pow
ers to resume international CONNER

handicap of the devastation of their

The manufacture of textiles, for e1-
ample, is urgently required to meet
the needs of enemy populations, and
the production of other materials is
held to be absolutely Indispensable.
This would, it is said, facilitate rehet

Foreigners Need Home Goods.
While proper safeguards will be

porting goods at the enormous prices

the pressure OF puUliC cpliiicAi az
enemy countries will be sufficient to
keen goods at home for MANY months.
The problem of trade restrictions on
neutrais as a part of the enemy
blockade is also under consideration.
There is Il disposition in American
quarters to permit expectation OF
most materials used in industries II
such quantities as are required to
meet the demands of home consump-
ton. This demand will, it is said,
largely prevent serious exports from
neutrals to adjacent enemy countries
