NT NERAL PRODUCTION
 IN ALASKA IN 1926.

The Department of the h. terior announces, through ad vance statement prepared b the Alaskan branch of the Ge- oiogical Survey, that mines in Alaska produced minerals to he value of $17,490,000 in 1926, as against $18,22O, 692 in 1925. The total value of mineral output of Alaska since 1880 is over $570,0OO,O00. The figures for 1926, which are es- inmates and consequently sub- iect to revision, are taken from the Geological Surveys annual report on the mineral resources of Alaska, now in preparation. The source of this mineral wealth is approxi- mately as follows:
 Gold-1925: $6,36O,281; 1926; $6,62O,0O0.
 Copper-1925: $10,361, 1886; 1926; $9, 9,500,000.
 Silver-1925; $482, ,495; 19- 26; S42O,00O.
 Coal-1925: S4O4,617; 1926; $400,000.
 Other minerals (lead, petro-- leum, marble, tin, platinum, etc. )-1925: $611,963; 1926; $550,000.
 Total, 1925: $18,22O,692.
 Total 1926; $17,490,0O0.
 General Conditions
 Although, as shown by the preceding table, the Geologi- cal Survey estimates that the value of Alaska's mineral pro- duction was not so great in 1926 as in 1925, the decrease in value by no means indicates decrease in mining activity or even an equivalent de- crease in quantity of certain of the metals produced. Consid- erably more than half of the decrease in value is directly at tributable to the lower price of the product, which of course was condition in no way confined to the mining in- dustry in Alaska. For example, in 1926 the average price of silver was 7 cents an ounce less than in 1925, the price of copper was about four-tenths

PREMIER BONDS MORE
 MARMOT PROPERTIES

Further increasing its recent ly acquired inte'ests in the Marmot River section, tho Premier Gold M ing O.. op- orator of the famous prCnliel mine, has bonded a major in- terest in ten additional claims adjoining the Porter Idaho property according to an, nouncements made late last week by members of the own ing group.
 The properties embraced in the deal include the Prosperi- ty group, owned by the Jan cowski brothers, and Messrs. Eli Watland, G. D. Davis and Geo. Mehlfeld, and three ad- ditional claims owned by MessrS. Geo. Brown, of Van couver, and Owney McFadden and Eli Watland of Stewart. Under the terms Of the bond- ing agreement the Premier company acquires fifty twU per cent interest in the various properties, for which it has agreed to pay $125,000 in foul payments. The total purchase price is to be paid within a period of three years. The initial payment of $20,000 was made to the owning interests last Friday.
 The Premier company now controls a total of 15 proper ties bordering upon or close ly adjacent to the noted Porter Idaho group. It is reliably re. ported that the Premier com pany has also made unsuccess- full overtures looking to the purchase of the latter proper ty, which owing to recent spectacular production of high grade, has attained, a To- cal prominence second only tU that of the great Premier it. self.
 The Prosperity group, which comprises the chief unit of the Premier holdings, achieved marked prominence late last fall by shipping to the Trail shelter 632 sacks of ore which yielded returns of $6, ,499 .46, or slightly less than $225 per ton. The ore in question was extracted in a few weeks time by hand methods anu under great difficulties from one claim of the group which lies partially between two claims of the Porter Idaho group and carries extensions of the remarkably rich ore bodies found on the latter property.
 The deal is not only partic- ularly advantageous to the Marmot section but is also It, markable in the degree that the initial payment is consid- erably larger than is usual ill the case of slightly developed properties.

FIFTY CENTS A AKClTE

tHe price or coal le2Q ana pal- ladium was also less. The value of the yearly mine al production of Alaska. ,, V
 TT Is even more significant than appears at first glance, because the ratio between this value and the estimated pop ulation of the Territory is l about ten times the similar ratio for the rest of the Unit ed States. In other words, the productivity of mines plays a much more vital part in the economics of the average Alaskan than in that of the average resident of the States. Even the current reduced an- nual value of the mineral pro- duction from Alaska is practic- ally 212 times the price origin ally paid for the entire Terri tory.
 Viewed broadly, the mining conditions through the Terri tory are encouraging, not only for the continuation of pro- duction at the present rate but for a gradual increase.
 There are still large areas in Alaska that have not been ade- quately prospected, and many promising 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 re- suited because wages for com parable work are actually lower in Alaska than in the States. though expenses are higher.s As consequence Alaska does not attract or hold the the class of prospect ors it formerly did. The need of capital also grows more pressing as more extensive equipment becomes essential, but capital will not be attract ed to Alaska unless the returns on the investment are likely to be higher than in the States. for the greater distance of many parts of Alaska makes investments there less alluring. Gold Piaccrs
 1 In spite of the fact that In many parts of Alaska placer mining was badly hampered ] ny the shortage of rain during inc first half of the open sea son of 1926, the production of placer gold showed q marked increase. The most noteworthy increases were reported from Seward Peninsula, Fairbanks district, and the districts in the upper part of the Yukon basin. The increase in placer pro-
 3ction is attributable princi- pally to the increased product ion by the dredges. About 60 per cent of the placer gold produced was won by this method. According to pre- liminary estimates the 29 dredges in operation produced ~0ld voluod at chnv+ o.20n :. 900, which is somewhat more than $500,00O in excess of the amount that was recovered by this means in 1925. Among the new dredges built and operat. ed during the year, the Nome Creek dredge, in the Fan- banks district, was the largest. Several dredges. completed late in the preceding year. did not begin to be really pro- ductive until 1926. Few pro- iacts for hnildinu new dredReS

Hyder has seldom seen more varied array of COS. tunes and characters than ap- peared in the motley throng, swaying to the excellent mus1c provided by the Victor Durand orchestra. Fine ladies, gay gallants, darkies, clowns, cow boys, prospectors, Chinamen, baby dolls, and a host of other popular conceptions were represented, in addition to 6 number of decidedly mover characters. In fact there as such an unusually wide diver, sity of costumes that the i judges, Messrs. J. A. Hall, Dan Patterson and Sydney An erson, found it by no means an easy task to select the prize winners from the fan tastic and colorful array. Their awards, however, were we'll chosen and were as fol- lows:
 Best sustained lady character: Mrs. Edgar Provinse as Miss Coontown Flapperette oi 1927." The prize was a hand some painted bed lamp, donat- ed by the Hyder Drug Go.
 Most original lady character: Mrs. Thomas Barton, who ap- peared in the unique and fa- miliar character of the Olo Dutch Cleanser woman, who "chases dirt" The prize 'fol this was a fine electric iroh, donatd by the Hyder Mercan 1 tile Go.
 l The prize for the most coin ical lady character, a hand, some beaded handbag, donal ed by Edgar Provinse, was awarded to Mrs. Robert Nak- Xxi, whose unique costume was intended to represent Alaska spruce and cedar.
 Ernest Blue, representing as hardy a buccaneer as evel wrought deeds of terror on the Spanish Main, was chosel. as the best sustained gentle man character and was given q roll-up set of military brushes, donated by the Bank of Hyder. 1 The award for the most orig inal gentleman character, a scarf pin, made of Premier high grade ore surrounded by nuggets, was annexed by Alex. 1 Y. Mcdonald, who appeared as cowboy. The fine prize was donated by the Nuggel Shoppe.
 Ralph Young, dressed as an immigrant, easily captured the prize for the most comlc gentleman character. This was fine leather set, comprising a bill fold and cigarette case and was donated by the Cola en Gate Hotel.
 A specal prize, consisting of a collar case of soft leather, was given to Dan Canavan, who gave most faithful characterization of a pros pector.
 Additional donations included 2 table lamps, a hand pai,Ned lamp shade and a leather writ ing set, by the Hyder Drug Go; a half ton of coal by the Hyder Fuel Co.,; a large box of

The report also considers that the
wide extent of installment buying is a
factor in American prosperity.
Defects in British industry are only
limited at by inference in comparisons
with the different industrial spirit pre-.
vailing in the United states and the
fact that organized laprr in the United
States is adapting itself to changed
conditions.
The report says that any attempt at
comparison in general terms between
the efficiency of the British and Ameri-
can worker is almost impossible and
that individual efficiency is largely
question of confidence between the
management and it's workers.

An important general recommends

natural grade separated routes be de-

Mr.. Bibbins further declares there
