The Perth Amboy Lincoln Chap
ter of the DeMolay did not make
much Roadway in the first annual
DeMolay field and track meet held
at East Orange on Saturday after
the leading high and prep school
athletes of the state competed I'M
noon. The competition was keen as
der the colors of some chapter.
The Newark chapter of the order
won the meet with a total of Il
potnts while the Asbury Park chap
ter was a close second with Is. At
lantic City was third with seventeen
points and the other contesting
chapters followed close behind. AL
though Amboy was represented IN
nearly every event they were COM
pletely o~utclassed by the other rep
resentatives. The only thing AM
boy made a favorable showing in was
the junior relay event in which the
locals came in fourth. Several men
placed in the trials and semi-hnals
but were beaten in the finals by some
of the leading schoolboy performers
in the state.

p Petroleum

In August, 1922, two steamers land ed equipment for drilling at Portage Bay, in the Cold Bay oil field, on Alaska Peninsula. The town of Kan atak, at the head of Portage Bay, was changed in a short time from settle ment of from 10 to 15 whites to a boom town with tents, cabins, and frame buildings numbering a hundred or more, and with a population of 15O to 200, which has been augmented by still others arriving on every boat. Several months before the oil rigs were landed all the ground for sev- eral miles from the town had been staked. Drilling is to be done on the Pearl Creek dome, seventeen and one half miles northeast of Kanatak, by the Associated Oil Company and the Standard Oil Company of California. The Associated Oil Company is equipped with two portable Star rigs and intends to use local petroleum residue as fuel. The Standard Oil Company is equipped with standard rig and the equipment needed for drill ing to depth of 4,000 feet. Power is to be furnished by a 75 horsepower gasoline engine,
 Immediately after the arrival of the steamers work was started on a wag- on road that must cross two 1,00O-

foot divides, and by the middle of October this road was a little more than half completed. All hauling will be done by tractors. 1t is doubtful whether drilling can be started before the spring of 1923.
 This preparation for drilling in the Cold Bay district is by far the most important event in the history of the Alaska petroleum lands since their withdrawal from entry in 1910 and their being thrown open to leasing in 1921. Though this preparation was the only definite action taken in 1922 for drilling in the prospected though undeveloped Alaska oil lands. plans for such development in other parts of the Territory are under way, and applications for oil permits are still being filed. Test drilling in other regions will quickly follow. if it does not precede. the discovery of an oil pool in the Cold Bay field. Meanwhile, the only oil actually produced Tn Alas ka in 1922 was that obtained from the eleven small wells on the single pat ented tract in the Katalla field These wells are owned by the Chilkat Oil Company. which finds d ready local market for it's product in the form of gasoline produced at it's own refinery.

Silver-Lead Deposits

No marked advances were made in 1922 in the development of deposits of gaIena. The Moonshinc property, in the Kotchtkan district, long idle, was again opened up. Work on the lodes of the Salmon River district Cortland CanaD, which carry high content of silver, has already been noted. In ~Kantishma district the prospecting of galena ores continued with encouraging results, but syste- matic underground exploration must await the construction already begun, of wagon loads to the Alaska Rail road. So far as now known, no galena deposits were mined in 1922 except at the Perseverance claim, in the Ruby district. The output from this property and the by-products from the Juneau mines appear to have been the source of the entire production of lead in Alaska in 1922. The silver produced in 1922, estimated at 73O,- 900 ounces, was in part derived from this galena deposit and was in part a by-product of gold and copper min ing.

Copper Mining

The production of a large output of copper in Alaska began with the open ing of the Kennecott mines in 1911. Tn the succeeding four years the an- nual output averaged 25,000,O00 lbs. By 1917, under the stimulus of war prices, the output had been increased
 to 119 9,S540OO pounds. In consequence of the slump in the copper market, the annual output of the metal in Alaska has gradually decreased, reach ing it's lowest point in 1921, when it was 57O00,OOO pounds. In spite of the continued low price of copper, the output in 1922 was about 6S,OOO,OOO pounds. Alaska has now produced a

the Alaska Juneau increased it's out put in 1922 over that of 1921. In 1917 the disaster at the Treadwell proper ties-the caving and flooding of two of the three large mines caused the abandonment of three of the five large mines in the Juneau district, and reduced the value of the annual output of gold from $4.57O,000 in 1916 t0 Sl 500, ,00 in 1922. The most en- couraging fact about the Alaska lode mining industry is that the loss of output from the large Juneau gold mines has already been made up in part by the output of smaller mines in by the total output of lode gold i'll Alaska, which in 1916 had a value of sk,90O 900 and in 1922 a value of about $3.60O, 900. The reduction of output ill 1922 in all Alaska was there fore only 40 per cent. whereas the re asction in the Juneau district was s5 per cent.
 The above facts are cited because many believe that the closing of some of the Juneau mines means the end Of any considerable quartz mining in Alaska. but in 1922 development and prospecting of hard rock gold depos- it's were active in every Alaska lode district accessible from railroad or tideWater.
 Though the quicksilver deposits of the Salmon River district are still un- productive, the outlook for profitable the Juneau district are being more actively developed now than they have been for several years. On ChiChagOf Island, in the Sitka district, one additional mine, the Hirst, ChiCha- eral other properties are being devel Oped. The small gold mines on Prince William Sound will probably soon profit by the cheap coal furnished from the Matanuska field. The Willow Creek district. now accessible by railroad and by good roads, is making excellent progress in lode mining Tn 1922 the value of the output from the seven small mines of the district was about $275O00; in 1921 it was $118,0O0, but more important is the fact that at last systematic underground eXplora- ation has begun. In the Fairbanks dis trict the completion of the Alaska Railroad and the assurance of con- paratively cheap fuel from Nenana coal field has stimulated lode devel- opment Five mines and prospects produced gold to the value of about $50,000 in 1922, as compared with $3S,000 in 1921 In the Fairbanks dis trict there are at least a score of lode properties which under present con- ditions are worthy of further explora- tion The facts stated show clearly that gold quartz mining in Alaska is now increasing. It's development will be slow, for in all the districts much systematic underground work must be done before reduction plants can be profitably installed, and then only in districts that are accessible at least by wagon roads.

Mining in Alaska
 During Past Year

Most of the copper mined ill 1922 was obtained from the three large mines of the Kennecott group. in the Chitina Valley, and from the Beatson- Bonanza mine. on Prince William Sound In 1922. as in many other years. copper was produced also at the Rush & Brown mine, in the ket- chikan district. A small output of copper was also made from mines in the Upper Kuskokwim Valley and in some other places. Though only about of the metal has prevented the owners of many small mines from renewing operations, but there was some re- newal of interest in prospecting cop per lodes in 1922. notably in the Chit ina Valley The advance in the price of copper will undoubtedly yivify cop per mining activities in Alaska.
 The mining of Alaska coal for the local market was continued m the Matanusks, Nenana and Cook Inlet fields, and in very small way ill some othe rplaces. Though only about 60 900 tons were mined, even this amount has been a great boon to some communities and mining districts. For many years the Alaska metal mining industry was handicapped by being forced to pay heavily for it's fuel, no local coal being available. It is now certain that metal mining in the dis trirts near the Alaska Railroad. as well as those of Prince William Sound, will be directly benefited by the opening of the coal fields.
 Most of the coal produced was talk en from the Evan Jones mine, in the Matanuska field, and from the Healy mine, in the Nenana field. At the Evan Jones mine work was temper arily suspended in November on ac- count of d fire, which was afterWard reported to be under control, Some mining was done also at the Baxter mine. in the same field. The Healy mine was worked until August, when work was suspended because the com Danv decided to transfer it's operations to property on the east side of the Nenana. with which rail connections were made late in the fall by three mile spur from the Alaska Railroad Some coal was also mined in this field by the Broad Pass Development Co.,
 The Naval Coal Commission in l92& discontinued it's exploratory work in the Matanuska field. Several thou sand tons of coal was cleaned at the Government washery and shipped from thie field in 1922 for use in a Naval steaming test. This will be the first washed coal from this field to be thus tested A small shipment for a similar test was also made from the Carbon Creek mine, in the Bering River field. The most important event of the year in the Boring River field was the extension of the tracks of the narrow guagc railroad which is intended to connect several of the leaseholds of coal land with Control Ter Bay Pending the completion of this railroad development work in these coal tracts has been slight.
 The coal mining done during the year has achieved the most urgent need for cheaper fuel in central Alas ka and has shown the great value of the coal for local use, The question when Alaska high grade coal can be mined for export has not yet been settled. Much more underground eX- ploration will have to be done to de- velop sufficient coal 10 justify the hope for an export market

GIRL DUEL SPECTATOR IS INSTANTLY KILLED
Negro. Man Will Probably Die
 From Pistol Shots

Georgia Martin, S-year-old negro girl spectator. was shot and Instantly killed, and Hudson McGinnis, negro was probably fatally wounded at 8 o'clock Tuesday night at 300 South Pearl street, West End, when Me Ginnis and James Blanton, negro, staged a pistol duel on the front porch of the negro apartment house.
 According to statement to. police officers late Tuesday night by Mo Ginnis, he heard a noise in the woods in front of the house and went to fired three shots into a thicket and returned to the house. Presently Blanton came out of the woods and up to the house. McGinnis told him what had happened and informed him that he had come very near shooting him, as he didn't know that he was in the woods.
 The statement made Blanton an gry, 1t is said, and he went home and got his pistol and, returning, opened fire on McGinnis on the porch of the apartment. One bullet pierced the partition separating them from the other apartment and struck the girl in the forehead. McGinnis was shot twice in the body and once in the finger.
 Both negroes fled after the shoot ing and Blanton made good his es- cape. McGinnis was found at 9:45 o'clock Tuesday night in a section house on the Alabama Great South ern railroad where it crosses Poplar street. He was carried to the Hill man hospital, where Nils condition was pronounced serious.
 Coroner Russum began investiga- = tions immediately and ordered the body of the girl turned over to Dav- export x Harris for interment.
