BIG F FAIR

Many Attractions.
DIRECTORS PLEASED
Opening Night Crowd
Much Larger Than that
of Last Year.

From its humble beginning five
wears ago. the MidWintcr fair at
Brawlcv has grown until it now oe
cupies more than 100000 feet of
show space. aside from side show
attractions, according tn figures
furnished by H. +. Patterson. prcsi
dent of the association. That there
is an Improvement in the quality OF
exhibits, is a comment that is heard
quite generally among the throngs
that attended the show yesterday,
the opening day.
Probably no better example Of
the remarkable growth of the fair
as well as interest manifested in 1t
among the residents Of the valley
can be found than the school ex
hibit. which alone has almost 1000
square feet of show space and II
booths under the supervision of 6.

, Union high school. :
Last year this part of the show
was confined to one lone booth.
: Other striking examples of the
fairs almost phenomenal growth
are found in the live stock and the
poultry exhibits. Last year both
were under one tent. This wear the
, former is under Il shed about $50
by l5c, and according to Secretary
W. W. Van Pelt is 80 per cent big
ger than last year. while the poui-
; try exhibit. outside Of certain space
devoted to tractors, has q tent OF
it's own and is easily 90 per cent
iargcs than i'll 1925, according to the
same authority.
That the fair is becoming rccog.
nizcd as an important annual insti
tuition in the state, is further cys
dcnced, states Van Pclt, by the in
crease in the number of commercials
cNhibitors and the space rented b.
them. The attendance last night
was estimated to be about % per
cent greater than ii was on the
opening night last wear. according
, to fair officials. The Brawley

The smoker included a "big feed" at which the old bean pot, filled with Alaska strawbe1- ries," was the piece de resist ance and was overlooked by none.

Albert A. White, newly nom- mated marshal for the First Division, is almost a native son of the Territory, according to a series of biographical sketches in various Territorial newspapers. Some minor diff ferences appear in the various accounts of his antecedents, although a majority agree that he was born in San Francisco and came to Alaska with his parents when a mere babe. He attended the public school in Valdez and is married and has a family. He is said to have been at one time engaged in the saloon businss in Valdez but later disposed of his saloon connections and left for Idaho. During the past five years he has served as prohibition of ficer in that state, where it is said he has made an excellent record.

B. C. SILVER IS MAKING
 EXCELLENT SHOWING

Continuing the excellent pro duction record inaugurated last month, the B. c. Silver is sending down an average of about ten tons of high grade per day and has an abundance of the same grade ore in sight for future shipments.
 The ore, according to reliable information, is now being ex- tracted in quantities consider ably greater than can be handled under the existing haulage contract, held by the Crawford Transfer Company, which at present is having a difficult time to keep up with it's daily quota owing to the bad state of the roads.
 A 100-ton shipment was sent south to the smelter a few days ago and a large part of succeeding shipment is al- ready at the dock.

The first new year meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held in Chamber of Com merce Hall Tuesday evening. The bulk of the evenings busi- ness consisted of routine mat ters and developed nothing of general interest.
 New business considered in- cluded a proposal looking to the installation of more street lights. The matter was dis cussed at considerable length but no definite action was talk en. The trend of discussion in- dicated that about 15 lights are considered necessary to place the camp in a we'll light ed condition.
 The Chamber also decided to hold the first membership luncheon of the year next Tuesday at the Silver Grill.

LOCAL WOMAN FOUND
 DEAD ON STEWART ROAD

Margaret Lobley, widely known pioneer woman of this section, was found dead on the Hyder-Stewart road late Tues day night, apparently from the effects of an apoplectic stroke or heart attack.
 Members of the crew engag- ed in repairing the Premier oil tank near the wharf dis covered the remains of the un- fortunate woman when going off shift about 11.30 D. m. Tine body was lying face down along the western edge of the first bridge on the Stewart road, a short distance beyond the Premier ore bunkers. There were no signs of d struggle or other evidence that she had died from vio-. fence. A small hand bag con- taining a pair of shoes and a few article of clothing were found in close proximity to the body. That death had oc- cured only a short time be- fore the finding of the remains is made certain by the fact that she was seen passing along Main Street in the dl- rection of Volunteer Drive and the international boundary line scarcely more than all hour before her lifeless body was found lying in the snow.
 The authorities at Stewart were notified by J. E. Dou- vile, who happened to pass the spot in a sleigh shortly after the remains were discov- cred. Constable Islip and Cor oner Whillans returned with MT. Douville and the body was taken to Stewart.
 Friends of the deceased woman say she had not been we'll for some days but was apparently not in a serious state, although she had talk talked of going to the Stewart hospital for treatment. It is be- ieved by them that she had suddenly decided to go to that institution and was on her way there when death intervened.

Despite decreases in both gold and coal production dur ing the year, production of Alaska metals during 1925 exceeded that of 1924 by a substantial margin, according to Department of the Interior reports on the conditions of mining in the Territory during the past year,
 Departmental estimates place the total mineral production for the year at $17,850,000, an increase of $392,600 over that of 1924.
 The value of gold taken from the Territory was $6,150,00O, compared with $6,285,0 ,000 in the preceding year.
 Copper production showed a gain of $646,000 over 1924, the output totaling $10,35O,- 900.
 The silver produced was val ued at $473.OO0. compared with S448,0O0 in 1924. Coal production amounted to $500,- 900, compared with $375, 1000 last year.
 All other mineral produced, including lead, tin, platinum, petroleum, marble and gyp- sum, yielded an estimated $500,000, compared to $45g,- 249 during the preceding year.
 The total value of the mineral output of Alaska since 1880 is placed in the report at $553,- 900, 900.

PREMIER MAINTAINS
 DIVIDEND PACE

Further confirming the well known appellation of Won der Minc," the Premier mine last week turned into the pockets of it's stockholders an additional S400,000. This is the fourth dividend of a simi- lar amount declared during the past year and brings the grand total of dividends paid by the famous property since production commenced in De- cember 1921 to S8,740,000. As the company is capitalized for S5,000,000 this represents tot al dividend payments amount ing to nearly 175 per cent. This is a record equaled by few mines in history and few CT still have paid anywhere near that amount in the same space of time.
 In addition to paying out this huge sum to it's stockholders, during the five years of op- eration, the Premier Company has also built up a large re- serve fund and expended large sums for mining and transport ation equipment. Although no definite information can be obtained on the actual amount dug from the ground, it is probable that the mine has produced somewhere in the neighborhood of $30,000,000.
