OUR BARGAIN IN ALASKA

When Seward bought seven million dollars worth of alleged cebergs in Alaska, the purchase almost de- feated the ground that the country would be good only for it's urs That has proved true The fur trade has much more than paid the cost of the whole territory.
 But before we had owned the country very long, we found that the fish were worth more than the furs
 It IS said that the statements of fishermen must be judged by special code of ethics which aymen not supposed to have opno We shall not venture to say therefore, whether the assertion that Alaska rivers cannot be nagated because the prOpeers of steamers will not turn in the of salmon that fill them, is to be taken literally in WaltOnian sense. Anyway we know that the Alaska fisheries enormously valuable
 But after we learned that lesson began to discover that the gold of Alaska worth than the fisher ies The mines already yield more every year than paid Russia for the whole territory, and likely that before long they will prove richer than the Rand for which Eng land poured out her blood in South Africa.
 And even that is not all: It is said that Alaska is going to be good agricultural country and that it will easily accommodate million people, That seems unnatural but study Of the climatic conditions will show you that 1t is not absurd after a The average January tempera
 re of Stka Is about the that of Southern Iowa Central Illinois, and Mason and DiXOns line The southern part of the mainland of Alaska has the temperature Tn January northern Minnesota Wisconsin and Michi gan Central Alaska from St. Michael to the British line near Fort Sekirk has January temperature correspond ing to that of Northern Manitoba and Northern Ontario and Quebec.
 The winter isothernas dip downward so sharply that the Alaskan climate throughout is mild that in Can adlan regions several degrees farther south.
 On the map, Alaska to correspond to the Brit sh Northwest territories bordering the Arctic and Hud sons bay, but cmaticay in winter it corresponds to Athabasca British Columbia, Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and our Northern Central States.
 Considering that the territory is nearly three times as large as France the German enpre it looks as if Seward got pretty fair bargain for his seven million two hundred thousand dollars

BEAN FEED LAST NIGHT
 WAS \ GREAT SUCCESS
 GOOD SUM REALIZED

A good size sum was realized by the Woman's Athletic Association as a result of the hearty support on the part of the public in attending the Bean Feed last evening at the s. A. c. hall. It is quite possible, it is be- lieved by members of the organiza- tion, that the money will be sufficient to carry the club through it's entire winter program.
 From o'clock to o'clock the 12 tables were kept more or less full. Each table was presided over person ally by a member of the club which assured the guests prompt service. A Victrola, kindly loaned for the occa- sion by the Seward Drug store, added much to the pleasure of the affair.
 The "Three Jazz Bo" string orches- tra which played intermittently was

also appreciated. While the diners dined and the music waxed merry, little Patsy Hannon and Billy She'll horn passed about selling beautiful bouquets of flowers, and cigarettes.
 Mrs. Chas. Sheldon, president of the organization, in behalf of the members, wishes to thank Flowers Grocery and Bakery for the dona. tion of Boston brown bread, and to those others, as we'll as the public for their cooperation in making the affair the success it was.

Weekly Copper
Review
By Charles F. willis, Editor,

BY, Cndrl6S r. Willis CuiCOA,
The Mining Journal, Phoenix, -Ariz.
The dullness in the metal market,
which always characterizes the holi-
day season, has again been apparent
this year. While a fair volume of
business has been transacted, the
quantity has not equaled that OF the
previous week and the price has been
shaded to IA Is cents. Heavy busi-
ness is not expected until after the
first of January; in fact most of the
sales of recent days have been for
February, or the first quarter. 1t
is expected that foreign business will
show considerable improvement in
January over December.
During the year just closed it is
estimated that the production of
copper mines of the United States
will show an increase of $4,000
tons. Against this increase of $4,000
tons domestic deliveries have in
creased 5000 tons and exports have
increased 10000 tons. Refined copper
stocks have been reduced to less
than one months supply for domestic
consumption.
According to Walter Douglas
president of the Phelps Dodge cor
poration, there is only one answer
to the low average price of copper
and that is over production. Because
the consumption of copper, both in
the United States and abroad, has
shown such healthy increases there
is little other explanation.
Mr.. Douglas states that the mines
of the United States have not in
creased their output anything like
the ratio of the increase in con-
sumption, but that this does not
apply to the producers of South
America or Africa, the large COM
petitors of American copper pro-
ducers. He said that it might be
assumed that there will be in the
future decrease in the output of
copper from the mines of this coun-
try due to exhaustion or to the dim
inishing in the grade of the ores,
and that is was equally probable that
there will be marked increase
in copper production of Chile, Peru
and African mines. This to him sug-
gests the possibility of the necessity
for protective tariff, when the pro-
QuCLlOn Oh the country SQudlS' VI
is less than it's consumptive ca
pacity.
The new year opens with copper
in the strongest statistical position
of any year since the war, and of
some years prior to the war. 1t is
estimated that the surplus stock
of copper is $4,000 tons. This is less
than half the surplus with which the
year opened The fact that produc-
tion has been kept below consump
tion is responsible for this reduc-
ton.
There is every promise that 1926
will show even greater consump-
tion for the factors which have
to do with the use of the red metal,
such as electrical developments, gen.
eral industrial activity, construction,
and ship building, are all on the in
crease throughout the world, with
activities taking place in
new fields
The market is still a producers
market and will continue so as long
as the program of stabilization is
adhered to. This will event
ually bring better prices for the
metal, which will bring increased
production. Thus we may expect
steady copper market
