NOME CAMP
 SEES FUTURE
 IN BIG DREDCE

IA D2O OxkADOA
 The Hammond Consolidated Min ing Company, which has taken over large holdings in the Nome district has large force of men at work this season, preparing for the in stallation of several monster steel dredges which will begin operations on large scale as soon as they can be assembled. The company has more than 200 men at work now, says the Nenana News. | News of the invasion of the new company was brought to Nenana well known travelling man, who spent considerable part of the summer in the Nome district and along the lower Yukon.
 The city of Nome, MT. Mcdonald says, was quite lively while he was | there, with the ocean boats bring
 
 tion. And the coming of the Ham, mond company has filled the camp with new promise.
 The new dredges will burn oil, as the cost of coal in that district is prohibitive.
 | A number of oldtimers of the In- terior were met at Nome, promi- nent among them being Fred Har- rison, who is now United States at torney for the Third division, and self and his party. He is very well thought of by the people of Nome, among whom he is now quite an [ oldtimer
 The Snake river harbor is prov ing very popular among mariners and has saved more than one ves- sel from disaster this season, MT. Mcdonald says. Additional work is being done this summer by the Gov ernment
 Conditions are very unsettled on the Siberian coast, but several big trading concerns, including the Hud- son Bay Company, are preparing to risk an invasion of the field. Japan csc traders already have secured a firm footing In fact, it is said, a lot of Japanese money is now in circulation along the coast, and that and American money now form the only mediums of exchange. The various issues of Russian currency have been relegated to the discard
 Tax collectors are about the only remaining representatives of Russian authority, and they are very numer- ous, several groups visiting the coast settlements with provoking regularity. One trader, who arrived at Nome while MT. Mcdonald was there, told of having been visited by several collectors, who demanded and obtained from him several hundred dollars in the form of taxes on his furs. A short time later, another group called on him and endeavored to repeat the operation. He went be- hind his counter, as if to get the money demanded, but instead of producing the coin, leveled a gun out of the place. They beat a hasty retreat from the settlement and the trader left soon afterward flor Nome with his furs.
 Alex Smith, we'll known fur buyer, was met at Nome, where he was preparing to go to Siberia with a Hudson Bay outfit.
 Mining along the lower Yukon ap- pears to be on the decline, but all l the traders reported having had good season. Marshal has dwindled from a busy and rich mining camp to a sniping proposition and trad ing post. Ruby has developed into quite a trading center, with many furs coming in from up and down the river, There is also some min- ing in progress back of Ruby. New pay is reported to have been found on the old Mascot association on | Long creek where Chan Walker,

JUNEAU NOTES TELLING LATE
 HAPPENINGS

The Douglas Island Packing Con- pany has a pack of 5000 cases of salmon, chiefly reds, according to a statement made by J. H. Long, manager. The plant is winding up the pack at the present time and will cease operations the latter part of this month. MT. Long said. Miss Elizabeth Thompson, who taught in the Douglas high school for two years as domestic science teacher, is now superintendent of the home economics department of the University of Maryland, accord ing to word just received by friends of the young lady.
 Jack Holmes, employed at the AL aska-Juneau mine, was injured in the back when he fell down raise in the mine and struck machine. He was taken to St. Ann Hospital, where his injuries were attended by Dr. H. c. DeVighne. His condition is said to be not serious and he will be able to leave the hospital in a few days.
 Henry Kufer, Douglas only bar Der, has closed up his shop, stored his paraphernalia and left for his old home in Baltimore, Md. He is taking with him a supply of h. dian moccasins which he expects to markets in the Eastern town. He expects to return to Alaska by next summer.
 Frank F. Wood, brother of Richard Wood, who has been living in Cali fornia for several years and who came North last spring and was en- ployed all summer here and in the Interior with the Coastal Survey, has resigned from the government service and accepted a position in the First National Bank of Fair banks, of which his brother was re- gently manager.

MONTENEGRO OFFERS
PREMIUMS TO MOTHERS

CETTfNJE, Montenegro. July L.
There has been an alarming decrease
in the birthrate of Montenegro. due to
the loss during the war Of so many
of the BLACK Mountains" fighting men.
The Government is offering premiums
to mothers who bear male children. The
females now greatly outnumber the
males.
The incentives offered by the Govern
ment to mothers of male children have
resulted in pathetic appeals from the
untutored peasant women to the Ameri-
can Red Cross nurses to give them
some medicine to make boy"
In Montenegro boys are considered
much more valuable than girls. and the
constant prayer of the mountain dweller
is that she may be blessed with a male
child. This disparity in the sexes is
largely the outgrowth of the days when
Turkey held dominion over the Balkans
and when the liberty loving Monte
negrins had an ever-nresent need of men
to defend the homeland.
In Montenegro the women do all the
work. the men considering manual labor

Tin Plate Orders Expected.


Attractive bookings of tin plate are
expected before July Is. since many con-
suners must protect themselves on de-
liveries. At present only relatively
small tonnages are involved in pur-
chases, from one to five carloads at a
time being typical, although OCCASION
ally a. larger tonnage is noted. The
aggregate tonnage on books is sufi icient
10 keep plants operating from rs to 95
per cent. The leading interest has
dropped its operating rate below so per
cent owing to labor shortage, both
skilled and unskilled. 1t is committed
for at least sixty days, and with such
business as will accrue within the next
three weeks will ks able to operate at
approximately the same level for the ed
tire third quarter. An even higher scale
would be possible If sufficient steel, la
Dor, fuel and car supplies were obtain
able at all times.
Fairly good orders for hoops and
bands continue to be filed with manu-
facturers,, and because of the tightening
condition of labor, raw material and
fuel in the hoop and band mills. the
tendency among producers is to cut
them down as much as possible Not
withstanding this condition, however,
some third quarter contracts have been
in from time to time. Makers OF hot
rolled strip steel also are operating con-
tinuously on this character of business
Buyers are unable to develop anything
below 2.40c base Pittsburgh, and while
as high as 2.70c. has been reported that
is the extreme high level at present and
2.40c. TO 2.60c. is fairly representative of
the market. Several orders have been
placed recently at the assoc. levei. some
-. - II
ing higher figures
Sales of scrap are difficult to make.
the tendenscy of buyers being to hold off
and what sales nre made are in small
tonnage. The heavy melting steel
market continues more or less weak.
although the effect Of the movement of
scrap by river barges is konwn TO be
over-estimated. The Carnegie Steel
Company is moving scrap up the river
from Mingo Junction, Ohio. The weirton
Steel Company will buy machine shop
turnings and other forms Of light scrap
whenever offered.
There Is little change noted In the
pig iron market which is still stagnant.
There is more or less tentative inquiry,
though chiefly for small lots. and Il Is
only. rarely that a transaction really
goes through. Several merchant fur
naces are producing iron regularly, but
the output Is fairly well absorbed by old
sales. The market is quotable largely
nominal as follows: Bessemer. $25;
basic s25 foundry. $24 TO s25. These
prices. are 4 0. b. valley furnaces, freight
to Pittsburgh being sl.96 up 20 July /.
Offerings OF Connellsville coke in the
open market. which have been rela-
lively small for two. months past. be-
came. still smaller this week and there
is hardly enough coke to make the regu-
lar market.
