CHARGE OF DISCRIMINATION NOT DISSEMINATED IN ALASKA PULP
 RATE CASE IS BOARDS OPINION

In making public it's findings in the Alaska pulp rate case, hearings on which were held in Washington on May 8, last, the United States Shipping Board recommends that the $5 rate established by the companies be given a trial and declares that the evidence produced indicates plainly "a need of well directed co operation between the parties in in terest" The action of the board in the pulp case, it is stated, "in no way forecloses such further consid eration of Alaskan rates as may be found eXpedient"
 Findings In Full
 The findings of the board are as follows:
 Under dates of April and IA, 1921, respectively, Honorable James Wickersham and Delegate Dan A Sutherland, of Alaska, transmitted to the Shipping Board communications complaining of certain quoted rates of the Alaska Steamship Company and the Pacific Steamship Company on wood pulp from Port Snettisham. Alaska, to Seattle, Wash, as unrea sonable and unduly discriminatory, and charging a conspiracy on the part of those carriers to foster a monopoly in the manufacture of wood pulp in Alaska.
 A conference in the premises was held at the office of the board ill Washington on May G. 1921, and from the record thereof it appears that three rates were quoted by the carriers to the Alaska Puly & Paper Company at different periods, name ly, $9 per ton, weight or measure ment, $10 per weight ton, and $5 per weight ton. Pulp is not now pro duced at any point in Alaska other than Port Snettisham, and no ship ments of other commodities move from that port Rates on commodi ties from and to various points Of origin and destination were offered for comparison with those assailed, as follows:

STAMPS TO DROP SOON AT HIRST-
 CH|CHACOF MINE
Mine Will Be Producing Within Four Months Ac-
 cording to Officials.

Stamps will be dropping on Hirst- Chichagof ore within four months, according to a statement made by A. W. Castleton, president of the company. who returned from a toul of inspection of the property yester day on the company's tender, Iris, and who will be in the city until the sailing of the steamer. Spokane for the South, when he will go to his home at Seattle. Mr. Castleton was accompanied on his trip by Lew G.. Kay. secretary of the company, who will also leave on the Spokane.
 Both men are enthusiastic over the showing made at the property where they say the No. 3 or mill level tun nel is showing up exceedingly well with values that will, they say, eventually make the Hirst-Chicha gof a good producer This tunnel will be used as a tramming tunnel. Raises will be driven and stoping done above it and it is contemplat- cd also to sink below it.
 It will be remembered that min ms lllcH Ol Lulo ScCllOH pl CulCICu successful future for the Hirst-Chich- agof when the ore was found at the No. 3 tunnel several hundred feet down the mountainside from tun- nels 1 and 2. Values, it was said. assayed exceedingly high when the vein was struck and the assurance was given that there was plenty of it between the various levels to make it feasible to go ahead with development work.
 A 10-stamp mill was moved from Windham Bay to the property last year; water power has now been developed and the mill is almost completed Fifteen men, working three shifts, are doing outside work and mine development. The whole operations are under the general SUI perintendence of Dan J. Williams, with Earl Thompson in active charge. A. Sholin is foreman for the company.
 The trip was made to Juneau to bring the two officials here and to buy some machinery for the mine. While in the city the two men have been in conference with c. w. Fries, ] director and one of the heavy stockholders, who has been taking an active interest in the mines de- velopment for several years.
 The Hirst-Chichagof Company. it is said, is quite close corporation with not more than S5 stockholders. Besides Mr Fries, Seattle capitalists have recently come into the com pany and it was upon reorganization that MT. Castleton, formerly much in the mining business, and Lew G. Kay became officers.
 Being in the same vicinity as the famous Chichagof mine, it is claimed that the same formation is encoun- tered at the two mines and that ore from the two properties placed side by side could not be distinguished from each other.
 Mir. Castleton and MT. Kay visited the Chichagof workings on their trip and were much impressed with that great mine.
