VALUE OF GERMAN R. R.
Lines Proposed As Mortgage For Loan of Ten Billion Marks Are Worth About 25 Billion.

F" 1iie Associated rress.
 Paris, Feb. 20.-rhe German rail- ways. against winch the expert rep aration committees are expected to recommend q mortgage of 10000, 000,- o0U gold marks are estimated to be worth 25, 900, ,000,000 gold marks. This figure was reached through a study of the mass of technical information ac- cumulatcd by the committeeman dur ing their sittfngs in Berlin.
 The capital value has been deter mined largely by the present condi- tion of the railway system, which was found to. be excellent. Almost the whole of the new lines have been re- ballasted since the war and the rolling stock is in good condition, being suf- iicient in the view of the experts for five years.
 It would not be possible, according to engineers advice received by the committeeman, to replace the rail- ways as they stand for 25,000, ,000, ,000 gold marks, and yield a fair rate in- terest on that basis. The lowest esti- mate of any competent authority as to the value of the lines was a0,00O,- 900 marks and the highest 30,000,- 900, 900.

INDUSTRIAL DATA WANTED

The Bureau of the Census reports that up to January 3i it had received schedules from about S5 per cent Of the manufacturers who would be re quired to make returns for the census of 1928.
 The value Of these statistics de- bends largely upon the date Of their publication. Obviously the Census bureau can not compile the statistics until the reports are received.
 The director Of the census adyices that every effort Is being made 10 se- cure the returns and requests manu- lecturers in New Britain and vicinity who have not prepared the reports do so at the earliest moment and send them to Washington. This action will not only hasten the publication of the statistics but permit the bu- reau to effect substantial economies by avoiding the expense and salaries of special agents who have therefore been employed to collect the returns.

 MONTAGUE ISLAND
(From Juneau Empire)

Good progress is being made toward placing deer on islands in Prince Will liam Sound, according to Game War den E. M. Goddard, who arrived here yesterday on the Northwestern from Cordova. He has just placed ten deer on Montague Island where they will be protected for a number of years in order to insure unhampered propaga tion.
 The deer were taken on Baranof Island and shipped from Sitka re. gently on the freighter Cordova. FL even animals were shipped Owing to extremely rough weather in crossing the Gulf of Alaska, said MT. Goddard all of the animals were extremely sea sick and one of them died. The oth, CTS recovered and were landed safely
 Before spring it is expected to land four deer on Hinchinbrook island to give new stock to the herd that has been built up from the animals plac- Cu lllCl c e AuiliUCl VI yCdlo ctSO' Sh others will be shipped to Katchemak Bay and released on Kenai Peninsula where weather conditions are said to be favorable for their propagation. The Hinchinbrook island herd, he said has done we'll Recently deer, which had escaped to the mainland from the island have been seen as far as 20 miles out along the Copper River x Northwestern Railroad
 On his arrival here, MT. Goddard received cablegrams from Sitka tell ing of the arrival there of five noun tain goat from Sum Dunn Bay. They were captured by Tom Mitanain. Four more of these animals will be placed on Baranof island and nine on Chi chagof island. Funds for stocking both islands with mountain goats were ap- propriated by the 1923 legislature, which also provided for stocking isl ands adjoining Prince William Sound with deer.

QUARTZ ACTIVITY IN CHANDALAR DISTRICT
 SEEMS PROMISING
GOLD COMPANY FREE-MILLING PROPERTIES CONTEMPLATE
 EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT

"The quartz outlook for the Chan. dalar district is really promising" de- clares E. M. Ashelby, who with his father Maj. H. E. Ashelby of Chicago, pioneer business man of Dawson, is interested in extensive hard rock hol- dings in that district Mr. Ashlelby who has spent several months in the Chandalar in the interests of his or ganization, the Chandalar Gold com pany, arrived in Fairbanks a few days ago and will leave that place for the south en route to New York He will return to Fairbanks before the break up with machinery and supplies for summer activities.
 The Chandalar Gold Company has extensive holdings on Little Squaw and Tobin creeks. They are of free-milling nature, and, according to MT. Ashelby, will with the begin, ming of milling undoubtedly bring the camp into new life. The rock is said to average $160 to the ton, which is considered safe values in view of the high cost of operation there.
 The company now has a three-stamp mill on the holdings. This battery will be increased by the addition of four more stamps next summer. A crew ot twelve or fifteen men will be employ ed. Prospecting under the direction of Harry Patterson, is now being done in preparation for opening up the ore bodies, thus assuring sufficient quantity of ore when milling begins.
 Transportation is one of the great est difficulties to be overcome, and in order to move supplies with the greatest possible rapidity Holt trac- tor will be brought in with the open ing machinery and supplies will be hauled over the distance of one hun dred and twenty miles.
 An innovation in fuel is contemplat- ed by MT. Ashelby in the form of hy- dro-carbon gas, whic h would replace the more expensive gasoline. While Outside he will personally direct the fuel equipment of the tractor. The "gas" will be generated from char coal carried on the machine.
 MT. Ashelby reports that strike of good pay by Fred Smith on Little Squaw was the cause of excitement at Beaver at the time he left for Fair banks. The ground was reported to go $11 to the foot, but the extent of it had not as yet been learned.
 The trip from Beaver to Olness was made in seven days. Owing to lack of trails and recent snows the time required was greater than had been anticipated. MT. Ashelby accompan. J led Frank Yasuda, Beaver trader who was called to Fairbanks on business.

HOMES TRADERS ARE
 RELIEVED ANNOYANCE

Under recent instructions received at the Anchorage Land office, the system of submitting proof on homestead in the Territory has been changed. In the future when a home steader has complied with the law in regards to residence, cultivation and improvements, he may submit his proof by going before any notary pub lie, U. s. Commissioner or any Of ficers having seal and submit his own proof as we'll as that of two witnesses.
 The proof he submits to the land office, if found satisfactory, the re- gistrar will then issue notice that proof has been submitted five weeks of the time notice first appeared. If no protest is filed, final action will then be taken.
 The difference haween the new system and the for1ffer that under the former practice followed the regis trar asked the homesteader to sub init proof and the land office would then issue notice stating on such day, two months later, he would be requested to appear with two wit nesses and submit proof. In several cases the homesteader was unable 70 have witnesses at the land office on the day mentioned. It was then ne cessary to republish the notice which resulted in a further delay and add ed expense.
 This change of system now in ef- feet was made at the request of the local land office.
