SIX MILLION DOLLARS IN PLACER
 GOLD

The value of the placer gold pro- duced in Alaska in 1918 was about $5Is00000. The production in 1917, was $9,SlO,000. The decrease in 1918 was general throughout the Territory, except in the Copper River and
 Yentna districts and some of the smaller Yukon districts. The de- crease was due mainly to curtailment of operations because of shortage of labor. high cost of supplies, and un- certainty as to future conditions. Io- cal decreases were due also to un- favorable climatic conditions and to the depletion of some of the richer placers.
 It is estimated by the II. s. Geo. logical Survey. Department of the In- terior, that about 57i placer mines were operated in the summer of 1918 and 153 during the previous winter, but many for only a part of the sea- son. About 5000 men were enga ged in productive placer mining in the addition several hundred men were engaged in prospecting or other non productive work relating to placer mining.

Prediction estimates of Motter as

My final word has gone out to the

Scurrilous stories attacking the an
cestry of Senator Harding and charg-
ing that a strain of negro blood runs
thru his veins. have been circulated
broadcast in Kansas and in the United
states. The attack is anonymous and
no one has been found who will spon-
sor the campaign falsehoods which are
being used to prejudice voters-par
ticularly in close border states.
The scandal seems to have appeared
earlier in the campaign in Ohio where
the campaign is bitter. Reports of the
story were received here sometime
ago. D. w. Mulvane, national COM
mitteeman, confirmed the report that
the stories had been circulated. Then
he produced one of the unsigned type
written sheets and also a record of the
Harding ancestry covering a period of
400 years. He asked representative
of the State Journal not to dignity the
campaign lie with news column con-
sideration. However. the document
seems to have reached many Kansas
voters, while reports oe its contents
have been circulated by word of
mouth Now statement seems war
ranted.
