course take account of possible new discoveries and it must include only Chose areas of aurlferOus gravels that have been more or less prospected. Fine colors of gold are likely to be found in most Alaska streams, but only a few of these streams contain workable placers. A rough estimate, which includes only the auriferOus gravels whose gold content is large enough to be profitably exploited by methods now used, shows that there is still about $350,000,000 worth of placer gold in the ground in Alaska. This estimate is based on very in- complete data, and it's value should therefore not be overrated, but it at least indicates the magnitude of the true figures, and it certainly shows that the Alaska placers are by no means approaching exhaustion.

 B, 500, ,00O. The most encouraging fac. about the Alaska lode-mining indus try is that the loss of output from the closing of some large Juneau god mines has already been made up In part by the output of smaller mines in other districts. These 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 develop ment and prospecting of hard rock gold deposits were active in every Alaska lode district accessible from railroad or tidewater.
 Most of the copper mined in 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. The low price of copper has prevented as yet the reopening of small mines
 For many years the Alaska metal mining industry was handicapped by being forced to pay heavily for it's fuel, because the use of local coal was not permitted. The coal mining done during the year has supplied the most urgent need for cheaper fuel along the Alaska Railroad 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.

mining projects that can succeed only by large investments and after years of preparation. Some enormously as sume that the revival of mining in Alaska can be assured only by the dis covery of great mineral deposit, such as a large oil pool or rich placer field, and no doubt only such dis covery could revive quickly the for mer prosperity of the Territory. Alas ka mines have produced nearly half billion dollars worth of minerals, and 97 per cent of this amount has came from her deposits of gold silver and copper. The estimated reserves of these metals alone, without regard to future discoveries or other miner als, such as oil and coal, are sufficient to assure prosperous future.
 In spite of all depair or doubt the Alaska mining industry is advancing, not retrodrading. In fact, though the value of it's present product is small compared with that of the past, the industry is now on more substantial basis than ever before. MT. Brooks. during his annual visit to Alaska in 1922. noted the following important de- yelopments: Preparations for drilll- ing were sufficiently advanced to as- sure the beginning of underground testing in 1923 of at least one of the Alaska petroleum fields; the installa- tion of large placer-mining plants has continued, and the work on some is so we'll advanced as to assure their operation in 1923; the activity in gold lode development already noted for 1921 was continued in 1922; the cop per production was about 20 per cent larger than in 1921, and there was a revival in the prospecting of copper deposits. Alaska's mining needs cap ital for it's further development, and during the year there were encourag- ing signs that large mining compan- ies were turning their attention to Alaska as a prospective field for in- vestment.
 Everyone who is interested in the prosperity of Alaska, which in the past has been so largely built upon the re- turns from placer mining, will na' turally ask the question whether the gold placer reserves are sufficient to support again large industry. Such an estimate of reserve should not Of

ALASKA MINING INDUSTRY

Over eighteen millios dollars worth of minerals was tkaen from Alaska mines in 1922, which brings the out put back to figures of almost the pre- war magnitude.

 zled by the quick fortunes made dur. ing the prosperous days of bonanza mining the public has failed to mark the steady advance of other ana more permanent kinds of mining, which were not only continued during the war but which have been greatly ac. celerated during the last two years. Even Alaskans. many of whom are survivors of the days of bonanza min' ing, are by no means hopeful of the future. Those who have seen miners without capital grow suddenly wealthy from placer gold dug out with their own hands and who have beheld pros porous communities spring up almost over night are often impatient with

Her Fourth Husband
Is FuII-BIooded Indian

New York, N. Y.-When Irving
Couse, New York artist, went to Taos,
N. NJ, to paint aboriglnes it possibly
did not occur to him his depletion Of
the Pueblos might affect the career Of
a society leader and bring a love ro-
nance into the life of an Indian.
But it did.
Mrs. Mable Dodge Sterne queen Of
New York's artistic and literary Bo-
hemia, was so affected by the pictures
she closed her salon here, leased her
famous villa at Florence. Italy, and
caught the next train for Taos.
When she got eff the Pullman in
Taos she saw the pictures had not ex-
aggerated the beauty Of the country,
SO she decided to stay. She built
a home and began entertaining with
lavish and unconventional abandon
But she was always more interest
ed In Indian life than in the patter
and chatter of the artists that fre-
ouented her home. So when Antonio
Lujan, full-blooded Pueblo, very cop
pery of skin and long of hair fell IN
love with her. she consented to lei
him become. her fourth husband.
Antonio already had wife. But
the Indian woman generously consent
ed TO remove herself, and recent dis
matches record the divorce and the sub
seauent marriage OF Antonio ana the
former Mrs Sterne.

Thirty per cent of the total popula-

farms. All of the southern states,
save four, have more than one-half OF
their population residing on the
farms. Texas, Virginia, Louisiana and
Florida have less than one-half of
their population residing on the farm.
The south as whole has nearly
twothirds of its population living on
farms, while slightly less than one
third of the entire population of the
United States live on farms. From
these figures it is self evident that
agriculture has tremendous impor-
