Illinois It sounds nearly blasphemous to regard Illinois as doubtful, but thus she stands. Had Frank L. Smith, the Republican candidate, not accepted campaign contributions from three public Utility heads while officiating as chairman of the Public Utility Con- mission the situation would be diff fcrcnt, or as usual. But such little things change the aspect. AS 1t now stands, George Brennan, the Democratic boss in Chicago, has a good chance Of being elected, but not on account of his own strength, but because Hugh Magill, running as an Independent Republican,, is like ly 10 subtract a large block of voters from the Smith prospects. While the Republicans are divided the Demo- crats are united.

Glancing over some of the doubt full states one finds local issues pre- dominating with national issues pos sessing little force to swing the cleo tions. Only Secretary of Commerce Hoover from the administration has been making political speeches and his efforts have scarcely caused a ripple so far as substituting nation al for state issues is concerned. The Republicans in the doubtful states are forced to go before the cleo torate upon issues that are not Identified with the Coolidge ad- ministration for the most part, and in many of the states they are weaker on local issues than on na- ionals'questions. The World Court issue, which threatened to become important in some states, has been almost forgotten in the face of more touchy home questions.
 Taking the states in order one comes upon the following analysis:

Oregon - The three -cornered contest in Oregon works to the dis advantage of the Republicans. Sena- tor Robert N. Stanfield, Republican, who was denied a renomination after his arrest on a liquor charge, is out with a rule or ruin policy, and is running as an independent candi- date. This makes it difficult for Frederick Steiwer, the Republican candidate, to defeat Bert E. Haney, the Democrat. The latter is the Haney who had the argument with President Coolidge during the Ship ping Board controversy, gaining much popular acclaim by refusing to permit himself to be busted be- fore the end of his term.

This year the situation is gravely doubt ful. In the first place, Wadsworth is not expected to run very well in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, and his strength upstate may be dis sipated by the independent dry candidacy of r. w. Cristman.

 These 13 doubtful states are: Arizona. Illinois, Indiana (two sena- tors being elected), Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Okla homa and Oregon.
 There are three additional states where the senatorial election ap- breaches the milieu of doubtfulness, namely Colorado, Idaho and Wash ington, particularly the latter.

BIG TIME LABOR
 DAY IN STEWART

Stewart residents are prepar- ing to celebrate Labor Day, Sept. 6, with a gala program of sporting anal entertainment events, tie proceeds of which will be devoted to the support of the Stewart General Hospi- tai.
 The program will include a big parade, a rock drilling contest, horse racing, wrest- ling on horseback, dancing and other interesting features. A unique feature of the festiv- ities will be a reproduction of a Klondyke mining camp of the early days.
 In an advertisement printed elsewhere in this issue, the committee in charge invites the residents of Hyder to participate in the fun and as- sures a good time and plenty of amusement for all attend ing. The hospital needs the support of every one in the district if it is to continue in operation and the entertain ment should receive generous support from this side of the line.

BIG MISSOURI
 MILL PLANS TAKE
 DEFINITE FORM

Plans of the Big Missouri Mining Go. for placing the Big Missouri property on a produc- tive basis are commencing to take definite form, according to the following, reprinted from the Engineering and Min ing Record, prominent Van couver mining journal, of which E. A. Hagen, well known mining engineer is pub fisher. The article follows:
 Duncan MacVichie, of Salt Lake City, has been retained by the Big Missouri Mining Go. to design and superintend the construction of a 20O-ton mill which will be erected on the company's property, at the head of Salmon River val ley. An effort will be made to separate the lead, zinc and copper sulphides. The present intention is to ship the copper concentrate to Anyox and the zinc concentrate to Belgium and to build a small stack to smeit the lead concentrate at the mine; the base bullion that is produced to be shipped.
 It is stated that the Big Mis- souri Co. hes 750,O00 tons of ore, which run around $15 per ton in precious metals apart from its base metal content, blocked out in the main ore deposit, besides which a num- Der of high-grade lodes have been developed"

REMARKABLE LEDGE
 ON OUTLAND BAR

Details of the recent strike on the Outland Silver Bar properties indicate that the discovery is one of immense potentialities. As stated in an earlier report the newly open ed vein is 12 feet wide and is almost solid ore throughout it's width.
 The ore is a fine grained steel galena, showing copper sulphide and carries very little quartz. Mir. Outland states that the outcrops of the vein were locaed on the face of a steep acclivity on the mountainside, with q sharp drop below the point of exposure. An open cut 12 feet wide was run on the vein and gradually extended tun- nelwise for a distance of Is feet with the entire face in ore throughout that distance. Samples taken during the first 10 feet gave average values of $44, with spot sam ples ranging from $27 to $67.07. At 15 feet the drift was narrowed down to more economical dimensions and had penetrated to a depth of 25 feet from the surface at the time MT. Outland came down. Samples taken acress the face of the drift at that point disclosed that the values carried almost doubled in the additional 15 feet penetrated, the assays giving returns of $86.15 per ton.
 MT. Outland states that the big ore body is located be- tween a series of paralling dykes 1855 feet apart and ex- tending up and down the mountainside on each side of the vein. The vein apparently does not belong to the same vein system as the fine ore bodies found last year, all of which are located farther up the mountain and contain a different character of ore.
 Mir. Outland says that the outlook for the property is now so encouraging that the company will probably install a compressor to facilitate future operations.

ALASKA MINERAL PRODUCTION SHOWS
 GAIN IN 1925

Mines in Alaska produced $18,220,692 worth of minerals in 1925, as against $17,457,- 333 worth produced in 1924, according to an announcement made by the Interior Depart ment through the Geological Survey. The total value of the mineral output of the Terri tory since 1880 is $553,3O4,- 968.
 In spite of the gradual ex- haustion of the richer gold placer deposits, the gold out put in 1925 was greater than in 1924, just as the output of 1924 was greater than that of 1923, according to the figures of the Geological Survey. Plac- CT mines produced less gold in 1925 than in 1924, but this decrease was more than made up by the increased product ion of the gold lodes, which now yield almost as much as the placers.
 The production of placer gold from the vicinity of Fair banks and from Seward Penin- sula was reduced to some ex- tent as a result of negotiations and preparation for more act i've future work by some of the principal operators. Extensive preparation for future mining is being made at Fairbanks and will not be completed for at least two years. As a result of economies and improve ments in mining in these two regions, it seems probable that the production of placer gold will be stabilized if not in- creased. It is of interest to note that the production from dredges in 1925 was greater than in 1924.
 Increase in the value of the mineral output of Alaska in 1925, as in 1924, resulted largely from the increae in the value of copper and took place in spite of the fact that less copper was produced in 1925 than in 1924.
 Gold production in 1925 amounted to 3O7,679 fine. ounces, valued at $6,360,281, as compared to a production of 3O4,O72 fine ounces, valued at S6,285,724, in 1924. Copper produced in 1925 aggregated 3,855,298 pounds and was valued at $1O,361,336.
 The copper production of 1924 amounted to 74,074,2O7 pounds, 218,909 pounds more than in 1925, and was valued at $9,7OS,721.
 1 A total of 698,259 fine ounces of silver, valued $428, 1885,. was produced in 1925, as compar- ed to 669,641 ounces valued at $448,659, in 1924.
 Coal production in 1925 was considerably less than in 1924, 82,868 short tons, valued at $404,617 being produced, as against 99,663 tons, valued at $559, ,98O, in 1924.
 Production of metallic tn was more than 100 per cent greater in value in 1925 than in 1924; when 2 short tolls valued at STOPS was produ,, ed. The 1925 production was 13.8 tons but owing to advanced prices, attained a

 REPORTS CONFIRMED

Reports of the progress or development on B. c. Silvel published by the Herald dur ing recent months are fully confirmed by a statement GOV ering the June operations. is- sued by the London office, which says:
 No. 5 level-Drift 336 on "D" ore body has been advanced 70 feet all in ore. The values have greatly improved, ana I judge that the whole of the ore exposed during the month would average around SEQ b ton. The ore exceeds the width of the drift and where We, cross cut it, it was 15 feet wide and contained three feet of $62 and five feet of $21 and showed native and ruby silver. In several places spot assays run over 100 ounces to a ton in gold. The length of this ore body to date Is 220 feet and there is still ore in both places.
 "Crosscut 322 was advanced a further 1855 feet in favor- able coutry and some low values were encountered,
 "Drife 3a4 was advanced 40 feet-the first 40 feet be- ing in phorphyry and the next 100 feet in granite-along the ore zone with the object of carrying No. 3 level through to the north side of the dyke.
 Intermediate level (50 fae, below No. 3 leveD A raise was driven 10 feet in the hign grade section of 70" ore body. The whole of the ore extract d ran approximately $70 a ton and the back of the raise averaged $90.
 "Ore shipments: During the month 200 tons of approxi- mately $60 ore was sacked fol shipment, without sorting, from development work in No. 3 intermediate level and No. 336 drift.
 General: The total develop ment during the month amounted to 395 feet of dritL- cross-cutting and raising. The new bunkhQuse for 60 men was practically completed"
 The ore bodies referred to in the report as "C" and ID" are located near the southwestern ly border of the Humboldt Fraction, which forms a DOT tion of the northern boundary of the B. c. Silver group. The two ore bodies strike north and south and are about 80 feet or so apart. Both have been crosscut by the main drift, No. 331, which extends northerly from a point near the southern border of the group. Drift 336, referred to in the first paragraph of the report, follows the ID" ore body northward and has ex- posed a body of ore several hundred feet in length
 Drift 334 runs parallel to drift 336 and follows the rich vein of ore composing the "C" ore body. The so-called "inter. mediate" level is reached through a winze sunk in a short drift off Drift S34
