PRODUCTION OF

Solution to Present Dilemma
Advanced by Corpora
ton President.

BISBEE, Ariz. Jan Walter
Douglas. President of the Phelps,
Dodge Corporation, said that the
lessen ng of production may be n
solution Wf the dilemma fac ing
copper producers in the United
States. because OF the low prices
offered them.
Douglas said that although cop
per prices averaged Ia cents a pound
during 1925, the price it commands
is still far below the price obtained
for other non-ferrous metals. with
zine and lead selling at prices 100
per cent more than before the
war"
Douglas said cheap labor in South
America might bring further re-
duction in prices to a point where
the average mine in the United
States could not compete and clos
ing down of domestic mines would
be the only alternative to pro-
tectiye tariff.

General Conditions.


ION the whole, the condition of
1898 showed improvement over the
preceding year. 1t is true that
there was a decrease in the pro-
duction of gold and coal. but these
decreases are believed to have been
OF only temporary significance and
decline. In fact, throughout the
Territory there were unmistakable
signs that many Of the operators
were putting their properties in a
more efficient condition and that
people with capital were seeking
operations OF stability rather than
in projects that would be quickly
worked out or in speculative mining
ventures. The influence Of improved
mining methods and larger-scale
operations have already begun to
yield results at some OF the mines,
and further effects are to be ex-
pected in 1925, though it may still
be several years before all the pro-
jects now under way will be signifi-
cantly reflected by a notable in
crease of production.
There are still large areas in
Alaska that have not been ade-
quately prospected. and many prom
Using properties are now lying idle,
because OF lack Of capital for the
necessary equipment. The shortage
of enterprising prOspectors is a
serious drawback that has resulted
because wages for comparable work
are actually lower in Alaska than
in the States, though expenses are
higher. AS result Alaska can not
attract or hold the class Of pros
pectors it formerly. did. The need
of capital grows more pressing as
more extensive equipment becomes
essential. Capital, however, will!
not be attracted to Alaska unless
the extremely high prices now asked
for relatively little developed pros
poets are materially abated.
Gold and Silver Lodes.
THE most notable development
at any of the gold lode mines during
the year was the enormous amount
Of ore handled by the Alaska Ju-
neau Co. in the Juneau district, in
Southeastern Alaska. which during

addition to this company's mill has
proceeded throughout the year and
is now more than two-thirds fin
ished. Increased production was
also reported by the three gold
mines on Chichagof Island. In the
Hyder district, several of the mines
or prospects made test shipments
ranging from l to 10 tons or more
the amounts Of gold and silver
from which have been encouraging.
In Kenai Peninsula and adjacent
regions some gold has been obtained
from the lodes at Nuka Bay and
south of Hope. The mines in the
Willow Creek district have con-
tinued to be productive, and the
greatest increase was made at the
Fern mine. on Archangel Creek. In
the Fairbanks region the Mohawk
mine, on Ester Dome, and the Critics
Feldman property, on tributary
of Fairbanks Creek, yielded the
greatest amount of gold, but interest
in prospecting for lodes in several
other places has been stimulated.
A small mill was completed at The
Wyoming mine, on Bedrock Creek.
In addition to the slver-lead
properties in the. Hyder and Kan
tishna districts, silver lode pros
poets have been reported in the
vicinity of Skagway. near the in
ternational boundary. and develop
ment work has continued on the
silver-lead vein east Of Wrangell.
Considerable silver is also reported
from the copper ores-in fact, these
ores still continue to be the largest
source OF silver produced in the
Territory.
Gold Placers Decline.
There was decided falling of

from the Alaska placers during

 Surgeon General. United States
 Public Health Service 1 The symptoms of tetanus are varied. The disease usually develops in from six to Is days.
 When lockJaw develops within six days in man the disease is almost Invariably fatal The milder cases 1 Of tetanus usually require a longel period for development and such 1 patients may recover.
 There are a number of cases of slow development on record where recovery has taken place even with out the use Of antitoxin now so generally administered in tetanus infection.
 Stiffness
 One of the most noticeable synnp- toms of tetanus is marked stiffness of the neck and the lower jaw. This is why the disease is called lockjaw. When a person has received a .lacerated wound which has been much soiled by dirt or dust; or a .puncture wound from a nail or gar den instrument or household utensil. he should be taken to a doctor to determine whether he should receive an injection of antitetanic serum.
 These injections should be repeat ed at intervals Of week until three doses have been given.
 Wounds, however insignificant may be contaminated and should aI- ways be thoroughly cleansed. Pune ture wounds or lacerated wounds should he opened and care should be taken to remove every piece Of foreign matter.
 If gun waddine or other foreign material has been driven into the wound don't attempt to clean the wound yourself. take the patient at once to a doctor. Prompt cleaning of a wound is almost as important as thorough cleaning, so don't de- lay.
 You should also know that tet- anus antitoxin is a reliable and trustworthy preventive. If any doubts existed on this score prior to 1920, the experience of the armies during the war has demonstrated the eff .-ctiveness Of this treatment.
 Antitoxin should be administered before the sym ptoms of lockjaw oc- cur. The reason for this is that after tetanus toxin has combined with the motor nerve cells in the central nervous system 1t cannot be displaced with antitoxin.
 Antitoxin should. however be ad- if the patient has shown sympt ms Of the disease, 10 prevent further danger. The most import ant fact for you to remember is that 1 tetauus antitoxin should be admin istered just as soon as possible,
