Silver Production to
 Be Resumed in Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 30.-Steps have been taken with government sanction to form syndicate of sil- yer producers in Mexico to prev ent the depreciation of this metal or at least on sudden unct1atione which during the past year have made sill yer mining in the republic a for saken industry. It is pointed out that Mexico produces more than 60 per cent of the worlds supply of silver and that it is only logical that mine owners in the republic should exercise stablizing influence on the market price of the metal.

INFORMATION ON
 LIGHTS DESIRED
 BY W. C. D|BRELL
Supt. of Lighthouses Wants Data on Proposal to Put
 Lights Over Bar.

Reformation relative to the prac. fllcability of placing lights across Mendenhall bar has been asked from Mayor R. E. Robertson by w. C. Dibrell, Superintendent of Light houses, with headquarters at Ketchi kan. This matter was recently taken up by Mayor Robertson at a meeting of the Juneau Commercial Associa. tion and later by him with Superin tendent Dibrell.
 Mayer Robertson desires that per sons familiar with the channel across
 he bar give him assistance in mark.
 Hg ch7rt submitted iby Superintend- ont D.iwell so that favorable locations Or f9ie lights may be indicated to the latter.
 In fss letter to Mayor Robertson,
 he Superintendent of Lighthouses said:
 Referring to your letter of De- cember IT, 1921. requesting that liehts be established to mark the channel over Mendenfall bar between the north end of Douglas Island and the mainland. for the use of gas boats. am enclosing herewith a portion of Chart No. 8235, and 1t is requested that you take up this mat ter further with interested parties who are thoroughly familiar with the channel and request that they indi- cate on this chart the most suitable locations for the proposed lights.
 "k any of the lights can be located on the shore the cost of establishing and maintaining them will, of course. be much less than if they are located in the water. If necessary, however. that they be located in the water, it will be necessary to drive dolphins for supporting the lights.
 "Fqoat lights are not considered feasible for the reason that owing to shoal water our lighthouse tenders would be unable to place and tend the floats
 Upon return of the chart showing the number and locations of the lights desired for marking the pass age, the matter will be given further careful consideration"
