STEAMERS TO HANDLE
 MAYO SILVER CROP

The big 1922 silver crop of the Mayo camp soon will be on the way to the world markets by way of Dawson. The steamer Canadian, which arrived here recently, will take up a barge and will handle the shipments from Mayo to this point.
 The steamer Seattle No. 3. now at the West Dawson shipyards, will leave in a few days with two large barges for Mayo, to be used in bringing down the silver to come on later trips by the Canadian. The Seattle, not being built for backing. and therefore not adapted for swing ing heavy cargoes in a stream like the Stewart, will not bring down any of the ore. She or the Alaska, now at Whitehorse, will take the silver laden barges from here down river. The Seattle No. is on the West Dawson ways. where she has been undergoing the spring Overhaullng. She would have been launched by this time, but the jam early yester- day morning flooded the ways and damaged them some before the boat could be launched. She probably will take the water within a day or two, and then move over to the Daw. son side. Her crew is coming on the Canadian.-Dawson News.

ANCHOR POINT FOX FARM
 WILL BE ENLARGED SOON

The raising of foxes for their fur and for breeding stock is one of the oldest industries in Alaska. It is now only in its infancy. and the country is specially well adapted to the success of the industry.
 Fine fur is as staple in the mar kets as wool or wheat and there is no danger that 1t will ever become a drug.
 Anchor Point Silver Fox farm, of which J. L. Waller of Anchorage Is manager. was one of the pioneer fox farms In Alaska. It was establish ed In 1912 with nine pairs of foxes and in the succeeding six years pro duCed its owner a profit of over $50,- 900.
 The success was due to the loca- tiou the equipment and the superior strain of foxes on the farm. as well as 10 judiclous management.
 The present management of the farm has the same strain of foxes, the same equipment and experienced keepers to look after them. There are twelve pairs of breeders on the place at this time, all of the same breed that made the farm famous.
 MT. Waller and his associates have decided to incorporate their holdings and offer a limited amount of stock for sale, for the purpose of expansion and improyement.-An- chOrRge Times.

NEW STEAMER KLONDIKE
 IS SUNK AT MAYO

Arrivals yesterday from Mayo on the first small boats to get here this season report that Dave Fothering- hams new steamer Klondyke met with the misfortune of sinking on the Mayo waterfront just about the time the Ice was going out. They state that the steamer escaped the ice. but dropped down the stream toward Indian town, just below Mayo, to what was supposed to be q place of safety, out of reach of the ice, and in moving to that posi- ton struck a snag, which punctur- ed her hull and caused her 10 sink in several feet of water. It Is be- leved that the boat can be raised after the water drops and will not be much damaged. It Is said that practically a bOatload of passengers could have been secured from Mayo for Dawson by the boat had she not
 met with the accident Mir. Fother- iugham had spent much of the win ter getting out wood for his boat, and had several cords on the bow of the boat when she sank. The steamer was built in Dawson last fall and made her maiden trip to Mayo the last thing last fall, just before the freezeup.-Dawson News

STILL ROOM AT
STATES PRISON
State Penitentiary is Not
Crowded According to
Official Report.
JAILS ARE CROWDED

Of interest to Kenosha because OF
the fact that the grand jury probe here
has aroused attention to prison situa-
lions throughout the state, is the re-
port made by the statistician at the
safe prison, declaring that reports to
the effect that this institution is
crowded. to overlooking are false
This statement puts an end to rumors
that the state institution would be
unable to handle prisoners who might
be sent there for comparatively short
sentences.
The state penitentiary here, while
full is not overpopulated and expenses
have decreased in comparison with the
tate reforrnatory, the industrial
schools, or the county jails of northern
Wisconsin, which are overflowing with
moonshine cases, according to H. w
Williams, statistician of the State
Board of Control.
industrial depression and lack of
work is the cause of the increase in
jail population over and above that of
war times" said M. j. Tappin, secre-
tary of the State Board of Control.
The state reformatory at Green Bay
has waiting list of 25, but the capa-
city of the state penitentiary has in
creased from 1000 to 1900 by the ad-
dition of two new wings which will
soon be completed. The penitentiary
population for December, 1921, was
vie - III \
of 778. Expenses decreased from $780,
600 to $291,0 900 for the year of 1920.
About 81 in the penitentiary inmates
were serving life sentences, according
to the biennial bulletin.
at is idleness and no work that is
putting the men into the jails, whereas
the war kept all classes buoyed up,''
said Mr.. Tappin in illustrating the
difference in the average increase in
state institutions and the unusual in
crease in smaller jails.
That the county jails are bullying
with moonshine cases may be due to
the tightening of federal authority in
the opinion of the board immortality
previously ranked among the first
causes of overcrowded jails.
The industrial schools, both for boys
and girls, have decreased in numbers,
but still total daily occupation of
40 over the captcity of $50. The aver
age daily occupation was $50 for 1921,
according to January reports.
Ignorance, theft, assault and unman-
ageableness are the causes assigned to
the minor delinquents by the board.
Cottages have been added to all the
Industrial schools, but it is not likely
that much building will be under
taken" said Mr.. Tappin
