NEW YORK, Feb 23 R.-Establsh-
ment of new high records for all time
by u S. Steel common at 162 and Bald
win Locomotive at 201A featured the
resumption of the upward movement in
today's stock market. Speculative in
terest again centered largely in the in
dustrials, with easy call money rates
and expanding mill operations furnish
ing the background for the advance.
Total sales crossed the two million
mark for the sixth consecutive full
session, the years total to date run
ming above the corresponding periods
of both 1926 and 1925.
The average of 20 leading industrials
shares advanced early, two points to
the highest level on record, but the
average of 20 leading rails was still
week, which was the highest since
1910.
Ease in money was emphasized by
the reduction in the official rates from
to 81 per cent and the shading of
the latter figure in the "outside mar
ket," where loans were reported as low
as 3A per cent. The Boston federal
reserve bank announced no change in
the 4~ per cent rediscount rate. Di-
rectors of the local institution meet
after the close of the market tomorrow
but less talk is heard of possible re-
duction.
U. s. Steel common showed a net
gain of more than 5 points on the day,
touching it's top price in the last few
minutes of trading. Baldwin, on the
other hand, reached it's peak in the
first hour and then sold down to 1919,
where it was up 2k points on the day.
General Motors closed 3 points higher
at 159.
Firmness of the oils in the face of
several crude oil price cuts was one of
the most significant developments of
the session. Barnsdall A, which is
expected to increase it's annual divi-
dend to SO next month, closed point
higher at "a, duplicating the high of
the year and the highest since 1928,
and General Asphalt jumped nearly six
points to SS%. Coppers gathered
strength on the announcement of
further stiffening of red metal prices,
American Smelling leading the way.
Rails, which sustained sharp break
last Monday as the result of erroneous
conclusions drawn from a bulletin on
the U. S. supreme court decision in the
Los Angeles-Salt Lake situation case,

ct allowance OF the highway main
tenance division from $l,032,00O to
$923,825 was recalled by the state
highway commission at meeting
today.
Final action on the 1928 budget,

yesterday, was postponed until De-
cembcr 80. Additional data cover
ing some Of the problems facing the

adjourned today, approximately ST.
100000 in cash will be available for
new contracts for construction work
next year. The commission ex-
poets, however, to let contracts to-
falling $3,O00,000 or more, since It
has proved good policy to carry over
q small percentage of contracts
from one year to the next. In that
manner, it is explained, contractors
are enabled to 60 to work early in
the spring, thus keeping their equip
nent busy throughout the working
season and enabling them to cut
overhead costs. This reduction In
the. overhead OF contracts, Chief En-
gineer H. G. Frahm said, is felt in
lower bids submitted by contractors
during the year.

Murray was carried down the mountain and flung into a deep canyon crossing the mountainside 150O feet below. What occurred during his de- scent, although he was evil dently under the snow for three or four minutes. His most vivid impression is of bat ting for breath against the smothering particles which filled his nose and mouth with suffocating persistency. He was also cognizant of when he fell over the canyon brink and retained enough presence of mind to try to turn his body in mid-air to avoid falling on his head. Save at the moment of plunging over the precipice, Murray was entirely covered by the snow during the entire course of his descent. The brief glimpse of daylight afforded him at that moment was blot ted out few seconds later as he struck the deep snow on the canyon floor, several hundred feet from the rim. Finding his progress stayed at the bottom of the snow-filled gash in the mountain, Murray struggled fiercely to escape from the snow covering his body and at last freed himself, bruised and battered but providenaial- ly able to walk after a brief rest. Seeing no sign of Filler he decided to make his way back to the beach, where he ar rived several hours later.
 Following the receipt of Mur- rays report of the accident,

EASTERN OPERATORS :.
 TAKE OVER BUSH CON- .. SOLIDATED HOLDINGS

Still aonther local mining property has passed into the hands of big eastern Canada mining operators, according tc recent Victoria press reports
 In this instance the property involved in the alleged deal is the Bush Consolidated, the largest group of mining prop. critics in the Portland Cana district and combining large blocks of ground on both the Alaskan and Canadian sides ot the international boundary line. The American properties adjoin the Premier and Wood. bine holdings on the west, while the Canadian grouno borders on the Sebakwe and other we'll known properties. lying north of the Premier.
 The reports state that the Consolidated holdings have been taken over and will be developed by the Whitney in- terests, which recently ac- quired control of the Fin Flon property in Manitoba. The lat ter deal is said to have been one of the greatest mining un- dertakings in Canada in re- cent years and involves an ex- penditure of more than fifty million dollars.

BOUNTY LAW MUST BE
 STRICTLY OBSERVED

Trappers and hunters of pred atory animals are warned that they cannot collect Territor- ial bounties for wolves and coyotes unless the law is fol- lowed in exact detail.
 Many are reported losing con- siderable sums of bounty mon- ey through not realizing that simply, presenting a pelt will not entitle them to the bounty.
 The session laws of Alaska provide that the radius and ulna" of the left forearm of the animal must be attached to the pelt when presented to 6 U. s. Commissioner for bounty payment. The sum of $15 is paid for each pelt, with the indicated bones attached, when the hunter makes affidavit as to the time and place where the animal was taken.

CHICKAMIN ROAD
 SURVEY COMPLETED

The survey crew of the Bu- reau of Public Roads working on the Chickamin River during the past summer, completed its task of surveying a route for a future wagon road from tide water to the lower end of the Chickamin glacier several weeks ago, according to re- cent reports from Juneau.
 The party, headed by Walter J. Sisson, chief engineer and inspector-superintendent, took the field early in July.
 The purpose of the survey was to provide cost estimates for construction of a low type of development road into the Chickamin district should the mineral prospects justify.

MOUNTAINVIEW STRIKE
 SHOWING UP VERY WELL

Recent development work on the Mountainview Gold Min ing Company's Gray Copper vein has revealed what is de- scribed by Arthur Moa, gener- al manager, as a very good grade of milling ore running both ways from the main tun- nel, which intersects the vein 1922 from the portal and 400 feet below the outerops.
 Before leaving for the out side recently, MT. Moa inform ed the Herald that the west drift had penetrated the vein for distance of 55 feet, while he east drift had been driven on the ore 30 feet, with both drifts showing a full face of ore all the way.
 The vein lies in a quartz-por- phyry zone an d the ore is strongly mineralized with chal- copyrite and gray copper. Ga lena is also showing up strong y and promises to become one of the main clements.
 The fact that the vein is show ing up so we'll at depth of 100 feet is considered a very favorable indication that some very good ore will be found near the upper end, where the pest valdes are k.4own to be
 A new tunnel, started recent ly and running in a northeast arly direction from the main tunnel, is being extended along she quartZ-porphyry zone and has as it's objectives the cross cutting of the very promising Marsh, Gold and .uby Silver veins, all of which carry good surface values and promise to develop large and valuable ore resources if they go down to the same depth as the Gray Copper vein.
 Supplies sufficient to carry on through the winter were saken to the camp recently and the company expects to employ a crew of ten men throughout the winter.

NEW DREDGES OPERATE
 IN FAIRBANKS DISTRICT

The operation of several dred- ges in the Fairbanks district during the past season has filled the camp with new opti- mism and Fairbanks is said to be taking on the appearance of a permanent city. Two new dredges began operations this year, one on Fish creek and an- other on American creek in the Hot Springs district. It is said to be the intention of the Fair banks Exploration Company to begin assembling the first of it's giant dredges shortly after the first of the year and it is expected that at least two of the big gold diggers will be in operation next summer. The company employed about 900 men during the season and a considerable number will be retained on the payroll thru out the year.

ANOTHER BEAR RIVER
 GROUP REPORTED SOLD

Sale of the Mountain Boy group in the upper Bear River section, about 16 miles north of Stewart, is reported in recent Vancouver press announce ments and discloses an increas- ing interest on the part of big eastern mining concerns in this district.
 The group, according to the reports, has been taken over by a big but unnamed operat- ing company, which is also said to be acquiring all the ad- joining claims from individual owners to form a larger con- solidated property for econom- ical operation.
 The Mountain Bay property is one of the earliest locations locations in the district and ad- joins the noted Red Cliff prop erty, once owned and operated by Sir Donald Mann. The reg istered owners of the group in clude Robert, James and Johr Stewart, of Dunwell fame, John Conway, of Courtenay, B C., and Frank P. Stewart, of Seattle.

a search party of ten men was organized in; Hyder and Stew art by Provincial Constable Potterton and Oren F. Hill. dir ector of the Porter-Idaho com pany, and left for the scene Saturday evening, with the in tention of proceeding up the mountain Sunday morning.
 The party was provisioned for several days and prepared to make a thorough search for Fillier's remains. Among the searchers were E. E. Charle- ton, Constable Potterton, Wm. Hoble, Homer Ficklin, Gus. Erickson, J. Reed and Jack Storey. The names of the oth- CTS could not be learned up to the time of writing.
 Despite his battered state, Murray, who is almost a ner- vous wreck as a result of his terrible experience, insisted on accompanying the searcherS to the scene. Murray is said by friends to have encountered a similar experience on the same trail several years ago.
 The unfortunate Wm. Filler was an early-day settler in the district, having arrived here about 15 years ago, and was we'll and favorably known.

BILL PROPOSES ELECTION
 OF ALASKA GOVERNOR

Election of the governor af Alaska by the people of the Territory is asked in a number of resolutions introduced in the House of Representatives by delegate Dan. Sutherland, re- cent Washington press dis patched announced.
 The governorship biif, which was described by the delegate as in line with the recent gov ernmental policy of increasing the authority of the residents in Alaskan affairs, would take the selection of the Alaska ek- ecutive entirely out of the hands of the president. The measure provides that the first popular election would be held the first Monday in November, 1880.
 The delegate has also intro duced a number of additional resolutions on various subjects. One provides for a $5O,000 ap- propriation for acquiring musk oxen for experimentation look ing to their domestication; an- other measure would author ize appeal of all criminal pros cautions in federal courts to the Ninth Circuit Court of Alp peals. Others provide for the transference of the criminally insane in Alaska to St. Eliza beth Hospital, Washington, D. C., at government expense.
 A fourth provides for the es- tablishment of a land district in southeastern Alaska and ap- pointment of a receiver and registrar at Juneau. Other bills empower the town of An chorage to issue $10O,000 in school bonds; authorize the patenting of public lands near Seward to the Women's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church; fix the salaries of federal mar shals at $6,00O per year. Still another would relieve Alas kans from the necessity of fill ing bonds in legal proceedings.

NORTHWESTERN LOSS SKATERS XMAS HOPES
 OF ALASKA KIDDIES

Bearing many thousands of
 dollars worth of Christmas gifts for Alaskan kiddies, the steamship Northwestern, of the Alaska Steamship Comp any, drove headlong on the rocks of Cape Nudge, near the entrance to Seymour Nar- rows at 5 a. m. last Sunday morning. The big liner, com manded by Capt. Jack" Liv- ingston, we'll known in this port, went ashore in a blinding snow storm with list of 107 passen- ges and a crew of 75, while proceeding at slow speed. The blizzard is said to have been the worst in years and for more than eight hours after the ves- sel grounded, all attempts to land the passengers were fut- ile, owing to thesnow and rag ing seas. A line was passed a. shore soon after daylight but could not be used, while the ship pounded heavily on the rocks and death threatened all on board. Later the passing halibut schooner Explorer suc- ceeded in reaching the badly holed steamer and took off the passengers and about 50 of the crew, all of whom were safely landed at Campbell River.
 The registered and first class mails were also saved, but sev- eral hundred sacks of Christ mas packages for Alaskan cit ies had to be abandoned, as the vessel settled and gradually submerged to her main deck fore and aft. Hopes are enter tained that some of the par eel post mail may be saved but anything that water will harm will be lost.
 Mrs. Jane Warner, steward ess of the ship, was the hero inc of the wreck when she calmly awakened the passen- gers and informed them that the ship was aground but in no immediate danger.
 The latest reports indicate that the steamer, which is fam iliar to the people of every Alaska port, will be a total loss.

The motorship Norco arrived from Seattle direct Saturday evening with a good sized car go of Christmas merchandise for local shippers. The vessel also carried eight passengers, all of whom were bound for other points in this district.

SALMON DECREASE
 CUTS NOVEMBER EX- PORTS TO LOW FIGURE

Alaskan products shipped to the States last month had a tot al value of $2,130,657, accord ing to the monthly statement of colHctor of customs J. c. Mcbride. This is the lowest fig ure for November shipments in long period and is a result of very large decreases in canned salmon and copper shipments, augmented by material losses in other fish products.
 The volume of the months business was $1,508,311 less than in November 1926, when the value was $4,638,968. The unprecedented small salmon pack amounted to only $347, 870, against $1,739,594 for November 1926. Copper ex- ports decreased from SLEPT, 432 in November last year to $390,447 last month, a de- crease of $736,975. A reduct- ion of $81,495 is also shown in the herring pack which tot aled $420,494. The report, however, shows moderate in- creases in the value of fur and reindeer exports.
 A feature of the months business was a shipment of 14,170 pounds of wool and 4,30O pounds of vegetables.
