Adequate transportation facilities is
the chief problem which eonfronts
Alaska today, says Warren G. Fenton
IL years a mining engineer in Alaska,
and recently from Chickaloon, 2O2
miles north of Seward Mr.. Fenton
was connected with the government
coal mines there, which were operated
until May by the United States navy,
at which time they were ordered clos
ed, says the Boise Statesman.
Immense coal deposits lie untapped
in the vicinity of Chickaloon, Mr. Fen
ton said, but the cost of production
makes the fuel too expensive for COM
mercial use. The geological survey
estimates that Alaska could supply the
world with fuel, he added.
U. S. Railroad Completed.
The government railroad, stretching
500 miles from Seward to Fairbanks
has recently been completed, he said
This line, with a 125-mile line from
Cordova to Kennecott, forms the main
lines of Alaska. At Kennecott is To-
Gated the richest copper mine in the
world, a property of the Guggenheims.
he explained. Not only is It extensive
in area, but its ore tests the highest
known in mining circles.
With these two main lines as start
ers. the country now needs feeder
lines, trails and wagon roads to fur
Their develop the interior. The country
is covered with low grade placer
creeks, Mr.. Fenton declared, which
can not be made to pay as long as
transportation facilities are so sketchy
and expensive. Most of these low
grade ores lie many miles from a rail-
road and cost of freighting them to
the lines is prohibitive, the engineer
added. It's the small properties that
turn out the money, he said, but pres

During the first months of 1922 the

which is nearly 1000 ounces more
than the imports during the whole of
1921. Colombia supplied about half
the crude platinum that reached the
United States, and some Russian plat
mum came in through England and
other countries. AS the domestic sup
ply of platinum and related metals is
now almost completely dependent on
imports it is reasonable to expect a
considerable increase in the quantity
of new metals recovered by refners.

Corn, tobacco, beans, potatoes and
persimmons are Americas great gifts
to the world, and only the persimmon
has failed to receive due appreciation.
Although there were no persimmon
trees in Africa, when the black people
were transplanted to this continent
they ate this new fruit and We're con-

sum growing on the trees and the
sweet potatoes in the ground beneath

-arge Increase in Production-oPera-
tons in Arkansas.
The domestic production of bauxite
in 1922 was at least twice as large as
in 1921, and may reach a total of not
less than 100000 long tons, according
to James NJ. Hill of the U. S. geologi-
cal survey. This quantity is about
half of that normally consumed, yet
the increase in output is encouraging,
for it reflects a larger demand by all
the consuming industrise, particularly
the abrasives industry. The opera
tons in the Arkansas and the eastern
fields were larger, though in Arkansas
car shortage in the fall limited to
some extent the production.
During the first six months of 1922
the imports of bauxite averaged about
1900 long tons a month, but since June
they have been more than 5000 tons a
month The prices of domestic dried
bauxite ranged from Sc to $40 ton
but were lower in the last half of the
year. The prices of pulverized and
dried bauxite have ranged from $12 to
SIS q ton, and of calcined from $40 to
s25 a ton. The effect of a shortage of
coal is reflected in an increase in the
price of calcined bauxite during the
alter part of 1922. Under the new
tariff the duty on bauxite is 81 a ton,
whereas under the old tariff it was on
the free list.

TARIFF AND EXPORTS.
National Republican,

(National Republican,
During the last campaign the chief
argument of those attacking the new
tariff law was that through the impo-
sition of higher rates on imports Am
erican export trade would be destroy
ed. The department of commerce has
just made public statistics showing
that on November the value of COM
modities exported from the United
States was $3.50, 100000, which is s12,
10000 more than for October and
100000 more than for November,
1918. There never was anything to
the contention that the protective pol
icy destroys or restricts export trade,
as experience has demonstrated to
everybody but the partisan and theor-
etical free traders.

Miss Efficiency

is 24.2 comparing with 1871 in 1913. Sir
Frederick argues that if Europe really
disarmed, more than billion dollars
would be released for debt paying.
In effect Senator Borah says the
same thing over and over again. The
contention is correct in theory and
right in principle, and it could be
adopted in practice. With a red army
in Russia, revolution threatening in
Germany, and Balkan countries eye
ing one another suspiciously, how
could the economy be effected right
now?

The Jordan-Ivers Motor Company is
planning to move into new and more
adequate quarters in a new building
a;aich will be constructed at once at
the corner of South Alamo, Presa and
Garden streets. A total of $4,000
square feet of floo rspace will be oc-
cupied in the new building by this
company. The old structures that
have been standing on this excellent
business site for a number of years
have been razed. Mrs. Johanne Stoves
will construct one of the finest one
story permanent buildings in San An
tonic there.
The Jordan-Ivers Motor Company is
the fifth Ford and Lincoln, agency to
be established in San Antonio. 1t has
been selling Fords and Lincolns for
only a short time here but is already
finding difficulty in supplying the de-
mand of a large trade which is ap-
parent in other local Ford agencies
that have been in business for a num-
Der of years.

Growth Is Rapid.
This firm, although it is a COMPARE
lively new one. is enjoying a healthy
business. At the present time a small
building at 732 South Alamo street Is
being occupied by the Jordan-Ivers Mo-
tor Company but it was announced
when the company was organized that
those quarters were only temporary
and that during the next several
months q new building would be occu-

Fords as we'll as Lincolns are being
sold by San Antonio's fifth Ford
agency in large numbers. The COM
pany is among others in San Antonio
who are reportins that they are find
ing difficulty in supplying the demand.
The present quarters occupied by
the Jordan-Ivers Motor Company are
entirely too small with the rapid in
crease in business. Owners are anx-
iously awaitin- the day when they will
move to the more adequate quarters.
The new building will be constructed
within the next 90 working days, ac-
cording to Architect Will Noonan. 1t
