Mining Industry.

The committee finds that there are large undeveloped mineral re- sources in Alaska; that the advance of the mining industry is dependent chiefly on CD cheaper transporta- tion and @ construction of wagon roads and trails, but that there is also need of investigations and re- ports on certain of its features. The committee recommends that: 1. The Bureau of Mines make a report on the feasibility of smelt- ing Alaska copper ores within the Territory. This work to be done in with the Geological Sur yer so far as may be necessary; ?. The Bureau of Mines make an investigation and report on meth ods and costs of placer mining in Alaska. This to be specially direct. ed toward the development of meth ods of exploiting the large bodies of auriferous gravels of low gold content.
 The committee finds that the de- velopment of coal and oil fields Is of first importance to the Territory. It therefore recommends that:
 1. Every encouragement be given to coal and oil development, espe- cially by making the terms of leases as liberal as the law allows;
The Nenana daily news., 1920-07-15

7. The necessary underground ex- plorations in the Matanuska coal field be prosecuted with vigor by the Government;
 3. The companies engaged in pros pectng the Boring River coal field be given every encouragement to develop coal and to the building of railroads necessary to it's marketing;
 4. The nter-Departmental Com mittee give immediate and earnest consideration to the desirability of the establishment of coaling sta ton for commercial and naval uses at a port in the Aleutian islands most suitably located to serve trans Pacific shipping and if possible the ,cannery industry of Southwestern Alaska
 The committee furthermore recom- mends that Congress be asked:
 1. To increase the appropriation for the investigation of the mineral resources of Alaska, as being one of the most important steps to further mining development in the Terri tory and the development of ton mage for the railroad;
 2. To modify the Alaska coal leas- ing law allowing a prospecting peri cd of four years before a lease is signed.

Report of the Alaska
 Advisory Con1rnittee APPOINTED BY HON. JOHN BARTON PAYNE, SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, APRIL SUBMITTED JUNE II,

| ment of game laws is shared by the Governor of Alaska and the depart ments of commerce and agriculture To improve these conditions the com mittee recommends:
 l. The passage of an act provid- ing for an Alaska Development Board, located in Alaska, and au- thorized to administer the federal laws relating to public lands, leases, water powers, fisheries, timber, railroad construction and operation, and wagon-road construction.
 ?. That the Alaska Development Board should not take over the pure ly investigative work in Alaska form ing part of the activities of the large federal scientific organizations. This, because such investigations as, for example, those of the Geological Survey, Coast Survey, Weather Bu- reau and of other scientific bureaus, can best and most economically be carried on by the existing agencies.
 MT. Sherman, representing the De- partment of Agriculture, refrained from joining in the above two rec concentrations. On May 24 the sec retary of agriculture addressed a letter to the Departments of War, Interior, Labor, and Commerce, sug- gesting that any comprehensive leg islation for the reorganization of the administration of national prop erty and interests in Alaska should be based upon a joint considera- tion of the departments concerned. Since the matter is therefore under inter-departmental consideration at the request of the Department of Agriculture, Mir. Sherman did not feel authorized or qualified to give advice in the premises.
 Pending the congressional author ization for an Alaska Development Board and as a temporary expedi- ent, the committee further recom- mends:
 1. That an Inter-Departmental AL aska Committee be organized, to be composed of representatives of all Government departments concerned in Alaska affairs. Also that the Governor of Alaska be made a mem- Der ex-officio of this committee.
 ?. That an additional assistant sec retary of the Interior Department be appointed, who shall be chairman of the committee and shall devote all his time to Alaska affairs.
 3. That the chairman of the com mittee shall spend a large part of his time in Alaska and thus by per sonal contact become intimately ac- quainted with Alaska conditions.
 Wagon Roads and Trails.
 The committee finds that the con- struction of wagon roads and trails is one of the most important and urgent needs of Alaska. Without the construction of large mileage of wagon roads and trails the re-
The Nenana daily news., 1920-07-15

sources of the Territory cannot be made available. Nothing will con tribute more to development of ton mage for the Government railroad than a system of tributary wagon roads

Continued from Yesterday.)

5. That, if one line be substituted for the two existing American lines, the vessel routes and sailings be en- tirely rearranged, by and with the cooperation of the shipping board and the postoffice department, to the end that all sections of Alaska may receive reasonable transportation and mail service.
 6. That in case a substitution of one line for the two existing Ameri- can lines be accomplished, the ship ping board allocate vessels for linn j ited periods to the residual line to enable it to meet the peak traffic loads and to preclude the mainten- ance throughout the year of ar ex- cess tonnage.
 1 7. That in case the substitution of one line be made, as above out lined, strict supervision of all rates and rate increases shall at all times be maintained by the United States Shipping board, that all benefits from such consolidation shall at all times be secured to the people of Alaska through reduced freight rates and the maintenance of reasonable service.
 8. That, pending the establishment of an improved service, the cannery and other private vessels operating to ports off the main routes of trav- el be authorized and encouraged to carry passengers and freight for the public to such ports not regularly served by common carrier; also that upon the establishment of com mon carrier service to any port the authority of the cannery vessels to carry passengers or freight other than their own to such ports shall be terminated. 9. That any action looking to a readustment of the Interior water ways service (Yukon river, etc.) be postponed until the completion of the Government railroad to Nenana, when a revision of such services will be imperative. Transportation charges on the Yukon and Panama rivers are high and the service on the lower Yukon inadequate, but no temporary measures of relief pre- sent themselves.
 Concentration and Coordination of Federal Control.
 Nearly all of Alaskas resources are directly or indirectly controlled by the Federal Government. About 99 percent of the land is still in Government ownership. The devel- opment of coal and oil deposits is under Government leases. Water powers and fisheries are under Fed eral control, and nearly all Alaska timber is in Government ownership. The federal control of Alaska s resources is vested in number of bureaus and departments. Rules and regulations relating to Alaska affairs, under the existing statutes, must be made by Washington au- thorities, who are 6 also in large measure directly charged with their execution. This long-distance aa- ministration has been a serious ham dicap to the development of Alaska. In many instances regulations have been made which did not meet the local requirements, and unjust deci- sions rendered because those making them were not familiar with local iconditions. This situation has work ed a particular hardship on the op- orator with small capital who could not afford to make the long journey to present his argument in person to the Washington authorities.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.


An unexpectedly heavy loss of gold
through the operation of the gold settle
ment fund was disclosed by the state
ment of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York for last week. The net fall
ing off In gold reserves amounted to
$S6.000,000 approximately, and the re-
suit was startling shrinkage In re-
serve ratios. the ratio of reserves to net
deposits. after deducting 40 per cent.
for gold reserves against reserve notes
in circulation. falling from 41.9 per cent
to 85 per cent. and the ratio of total
reserves to deposit and note liabilities
combined dropping from 40.S per cent
to 37.8 per cent. Gross deposits in
creased s60.000,0 900. offset only partially
by an increase of $4,000, 900 in the
float. The notes in circulation contrac-
ton was only 100000. Thus re-
quired reserve gained while total re-
serves fell ss5,oO0,000 Member bank
deposits increased sS6.oo0.0 900. but that
gain was achieved only by a net increase
of nearly s60,oo0.O00 in member bank
borrowings from the Reserve Bank. The
local Reserve Bank paid Off $3,450, 900
of its borrowings from other reserve
banks.

prices advanced. Sales of print cloths

many weeks. Sheetings were in mod

were made at the lowest prices touched.
Small orders for combed yarn goods
were reported. The movement was
looked on as important from the fact
that some large printers and handlers
of bleached goods were active buyers
after having shown no interest in prices
for a long time.

Expect Lower Rediscount Rate.

will announce soon a reduction in the
rediscount rate. w. p. G.. Harding. gov
ernor of the Reserve Board. has ex-
pressed to bankers his satisfaction with
the progress of the general scheme of
deflation. Those who have talked with
him on the subject have the impression
that the board is about ready to con-
slider the reduction on the theory that
the high rate has accomplished the pur-
pose for which 1t was put into effect.

Professional Market Opinions.

Advances recorded during the latter
part of last week have strengthened the
belief of most big Wall Street houses
that the liquidation of stocks and bonds
has run its course and that improved
prices may be anticipated Carpenter,
Caffry & Co. say that "values must
count in the long run, and few months
hence current prices will appear ridicu-
lously low" Brumley, Chamberlin & Co.
declare that stocks are a sale on any
good rally" Wade. Templeton & Co.
believe that stocks are a purchase on
weak spots for a turn" Goodbody g. Co
think that strictly investment securi-
ties should be bought till it hurts" Will

structive market position Is justified for
the long pull" H. f. Mcconnell expresses
the belief that discriminating purchases
of dividend paying steel stocks, equip
ments and rails will prove profitable ere
long.

and in some quarters is not credited.
Independent manufacturers say that
