COPPER QUEEN MINE
 HOLDS SAFETY RECORD

BISBEE, Ariz. - Copper Queen Mining company officials have di- rected attention to what the com pany considers a record in the op- eration of a big mine-a whole year without a fatal accident, and almost 16 months without fatal accident underground to any of the more than 2,5OO men employed.
 The company operates a number of mines under varying conditions, in addition to great open cuts for steam shovel mining in Sacramento hill.
 Freedom from fatalities is con- sidered due to safety first" or ganization drawing on the co-opera- tion of foremen, shift bosses, and the miners themselves.

COAST SALT COMPANY
 HAS BIG YEARLY YIELD

SAN FRANCISCO.-On an arm of San Francisco bay ''salt farm" is being operated successfully. the annual harvest being approximately 5O,OO0 tons.
 The farm includes 4,S00 acres, divided into evaporating ponds into which water from the bay is run during September of year year. In varying degrees of concentration it is pumped from one pond to an other until it reaches the final stage in ponds near the refinery. At one stage the water turns decided pink, making striking contrast with the white crystal deposits along the edge.
 A travelling belt conveyor and electric train carry the raw or solar salt in crystal form to the refinery, where it is dissolved, purified, and dried in a centrifugal wringer.

OWNER OF PAPER AT NOME DENIES
 PAPER HAS QUIT

The News is in receipt of a tele- gram from George Maynard, owner of the Nome Nugget, in which wig orous denial is made of the report, circulated throughout Alaska, that the Nugget has quit publication.
 "As several Alaska papers have printed misleading statements re garding the Nome Nugget suspend ing publication for winter" says the publisher of the paper, ''would appreciate retraction. The Nugget never ceased and has no intention of suspending. Instead of issuing a tri-weekly, We are now publishing a daily telegraph bulletin and an eight-page weekly newspaper, at less expense and with greater sat isfaction all around"
 The News, not being in touch with the Nugget, was under the impression that that publication had suspended. Stories to that effect appeared in nearly all the Alaska papers, as stated by MT. Maynard, and there was every reason to be lieve the report was authentic, par ticularly in view of the fact that it was generally known that an un- usually large number of people had left Nome for the winter. @..
 The Nugget is the only paper left in Nome. \ few years ago there were two dailies, the Nugget and the Industrial Worker, the lat ter being the official organ of the Seward peninsula labor union. Both papers were compelled. by declin- ing population. to quit the daily field, and the Worker finally sus- pended publication altogether Nearly every Alaska town of con sequence has newspaper, but only a few can boast of daily publica tons, the war and subsequent back ward conditions having forced sev- eral of the publishers to go into the weekly class or suspend alto
 gether, The towns now having daily papers are: Nenana, Fair banks, Anchorage, Juneau, ketchi- kan, Cordova. Skagway, and Seward. Fairbanks and Ketchikan are the only towns in Alaska in which two papers are published,

UNPOPULAR LAW CAUSE OF SLUMP
 IN PENSION AID

The revised territorial pension law, conceived and put into opera ton by the last legislature, has had the effect of cutting down the pen sion roll of the Territory to very considerable extent, many of the oldtimers who received territorial assistance under the old law having refused to continue to accept pen sions under the new conditions inn posed. The new law provides that all pensioners shall deed their prop erty to the Territory, the object of the objectionable provision being to eliminate impostors from the pension roll
 As a matter of fact, and many members of the legislature are now willing to admit it, the provision excludes many worthy oldtimers, en- titled to pensions, but who object to deeding away property which some day may make them inde- pendently rich. Nearly every old timer owns more or less mining ground of improved value, and the majority of them are reluctant to part with it, confident that some day they will locate the pay or be able to dispose of the ground to advantage. They need the pension money, but they prefer to do with out it rather than surrender claims upon which they have expended years of labor in assessment worl and prospecting.
 Some idea of the effect the laH is having may be gathered from { statement issued by Commissionel Reed Heilig, of Fairbanks. He re ports that the pension checks re ceived by him for the Januar! quarter number only II, just hal as many as were issued for distri button in the Fairbanks district be for the new law was passed. Ant it is reasonable to assume that sim liar conditions prevail in other sec tions of the Territory.
 Senator Dan Sutherland explained the situation when he was in Ne mana recently. and expressed tn belief that the next legislatur would eliminate the objectionabl provision from the law.

which the railroad supposedly is be- ing constructed.
 The letter is now being prepared and probably will be read at a regular meeting of the club to be held tomorrow evening, at which both Engineer in Charge Fred'k D. Browne and Examiner of Accounts B. H. Barndollar will be invited to be present.
 Another matter discussed by the club at last nights meeting was the proposed curtailment of telephone service This matter, 1t is under stood, has not been definitely de- cided upon by the Alaskan Engi- neering commission, but it is known to be under consideration, and the members of the club gave their unanimous approval to motion Of protest against such step. This matter will be taken up directly with Engineer Browne and Mir. 1 Barndollar at Fridays meeting and
 a further effort made to discour- tage the suggested curtailment.

EIGHT MILLION IS REQUESTED
 TO RUSH ALASKA RAILROAD

The appropriation of the money at this time, the secretary points out, will enable the Alaskan Engi- neering commission to complete it's plans for the remainder of the railway construction, to make nee essary purchases of supplies and materials and proceed with the work without fear of further delay thru inability to get appropriations thru Congress when needed.
The Nenana daily news., 1920-01-15

Attention also will be called to the inadequacy of the present mail service to Interior Alaska points, and to the fact that the routing of the mail by way of road Pass next winter will eliminate much of the trail haul which is causing so much trouble and delay at present. The distance between ends of the Gov ernment railroad next winter prob ably will not exceed 75 miles.
 Mir. McPherson also will be asked to assist the chairman of the Alaska Road commission to secure the funds he has requested of Congress to build and repair roads in Alaska next year. Chairman Waugh esti- mates that he will need nearly three-quarters of d million dollars to carry out his program, and he will need all the assistance he can get to secure it.
 The letter will ask the aid of Mr. McPherson in closing the Yukon river and it's delta to cannery oper ations, there being sufficient evi- dence at hand now to prove con clusively that the operation of the Carlisle cannery during the past summer has caused great hardship this winter among Interior Alaska natives.
 Another suggested means of aid ing Alaska relates to funds for edu- : cational purposes. The Government ! has voted large sums for such use 1 in the States, but has not yet seen l fit to include Alaska in any of the special grants, which could be used to much advantage in this country.
 Still another request concerns the construction of proposed bridges over the Nenana and Panama rivers. The letter will point out that the use of an aerial tram at Nenana crossing will greatly interfere with traffic over the completed portion of the railroad, and probably cause a suspension of coal mining activi. ties south, of Nenana. Mir. McPher
 son will be requested to urge the immediate construction of a perma
 nent bridge over the Nenana river
 and at least commencement oi
 preparations for similar structure
 to span the Panama. Unless sucf action is taken now, the letter wil
 remind Mir. McPherson, severa ; years probably will elapse, after thu road has been completed, before thu bridges are finished, thereby need

CLUB TO ENDEAVOR
 TO ADVANCE WAGES

After having had the matter up for discussion number of times during the past year, the Nenana Commercial club has placed itself squarely on record as favoring an immediate and substantial increase in wages paid to employees of the Alaskan Engineering commission in the Northern division. The senti- ments of the members were freely expressed at a meeting of the or ganization held last night. and there was not one present who opposed the plan to take up the wage ques- ton.
 The meeting of the club was called for the purpose of drafting letter to J. L. McPherson, man ager of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial club, advising him, at his request. of the more urgent needs of the Nenana district, in order that he may take the matters up with Congress and the heads of the various departments upon his arrival at Washington within the next few weeks MT. McPherson rendered valuable assistance to the Territory during his stay at the
 national capital last year, and he
 is going back soon to continue his good work. A copy of the letter to
 the bureau manager also will be
 sent to Delegate Grigsby.
 1 The letter will inform MT. Me Pherson of wage and general con ditions now prevailing in Central
 Alaska; of the fact that oldtimers are leaving the Interior in large , numbers because of the low wages
 paid by the Alaskan Engineering
 commission and the uncertainty of employment; of the fact that there has been no increase in the wage
 scale for considerably more than g
 year, notwithstanding the fact that living costs in Alaska have mounted steadily during that time. The let ter also will advise Mr. McPhersor
 that the wage scale is such as tt
 work an actual hardship on em
 ployes with families, thus discour
 aging, instead of encouraging, thu employment of home builders. ,. The letter will seek the aid O, . Mir. McPherson in securing for Ne . mana, and other towns along thu . Government railroad, the refund O , moneys paid to the Government fo . town lots, known as the 50 percen refund.
