estimated to have been nearly $500,- coo less thaan in 1926. Obviously this decrease is merely an unfortunate temporary incident. The proportion between place rgold won by dredging and that won by other methods of mining appears. to have been in about the ratio 61 to 39. The only new dredge put into operation in 1927 was that of the American Creek Dredging Company, in the Hot Springs district, Yukon-Tanana region.
 Several new placer mining enter prises that will become productive durin g1928 were in progress during the year. The largest and. most sig nificant of these projects is that of the Fairbanks Exploration Company, in the Fairbanks region, which has beeen busy for several years in ex- tensive preparations foo rdredging operations in the valleys of Gold stream and Chatanika. rivers and their tributaries. Although it will still be several years before this pro- ject is in full operation, parts of it have now progressed to such stage that pits in which to construct the the first two of the dredges have been prepared, and the materials for these two boats will have been landed in Alaska before the end of 1927 and will be assembled during the winter. The long ditches and siphons which are being built. to bring water to the ground have been nearly completed, and large areas have been thawed so as to be in condition for dredging.
 Among the Alaska gold lode mines the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com pany's property, in the Juneau region of Southeastern Alaska, continued to be by far the largest producer. This company mined and milled ore on an even larger scale than. heretofore, maintaining throughout the year an average daily output of ore mined and trammed tos the mill of nearly 12,OOO tons and floor some months an average daily output of close to 13,000 tons. This high rate of mining was due to extremely efficient operation, and resulted in handling nearly 500,- GOO tons of ore more than in 1926. No noteworthy change in the tenor of the ore was reported.
 Elsewhere in Alaska gold lode min : ing continued at, about the same rate as in the preceding year. The three mines on Chicagof Island continued to yield considerable amount of gold, and several smaller mines in other parts of Southeastern Alaska produced some gold. In the Willow Creek region, north of Coo kInlet, lode gold minin gwas carried on at a somewhata reduced rate, and the pro- duction appears to have been consid- erably less tha min 1926. In the Fair banks district the principal new lode development was in the Elmes mine, on Happy creek, in the vicinity of Este rDome. The Mohawk mine, also on Ester Dome, the Critics and Feld- man property, on tributary of Fair banks Creek. and the the Wyoming

UPPER AIR HELIUM,

Believes That Aircraft Are Near
 Altitude Limit

London March la --IP One hun dred miles above the surface Of the earth the atmosphere consists all most wholly of helium gas, believes Sir William Napier Shaw. eminent meteorologist.
 If this conclusion is right it will never be possible, 1t is contended, for aircraft to navigate the upper atmosphere.
 In a new manual Of meteoro- loey" in which Sir Napied Shaw stes forth this view he deals with many other matters bearing upon atmospheric conditions.
 He maintains that az the light Of auroras has been seen as high as 500 miles above the earth. gases of some kind must exist far out from this globe.
 Comparatively low down comes the famous "heayy side" layer in the atmosphere. 30 to 50 miles up. It IS this layer which reflects wire less waves and renders wireless signalling possible.
 One point that emerges from Sir Napier's investigations is tha. me- teorology thus far has afforded no the earth's surface far ahead al- though he supports 10 some extent the theory that there is a cycle of ::5 years in which the weather re- beats itself,

very beginning. When Heethoven's paean of glory, The Heavens Are Telling" opened the program the shading immediately attracted atten- ton. Instead of shouting. as choruses are inclined to do if not held within bounds the tone graded from deli- cate pianissimo to a robust sonor- ousness with astonishing effect. Con- ductor Lindsay. meanwhile. swung the baton like the veteran he is. And this was the story throughout the contributions Of the Wennerberg singers. The suave yelvety softness or their tone was reduced to a whis- per in The Autumn Sea- by Ger icke: it flowed 10 overwhelming pomposlty in the "Invictus' of Bruno Huhn, The final number, "Jhe Soldiers Chorus from Faust" had to be repeated in its entirety. as the audience failed to file out when the concert was sup posed 10 he over.
 Cooperating with the director and chorus was Charles A. Johnson at the piano. He was not greatly over worked, however, as many of the choruses were sung without accom- paniment.
 The accompanist of Miss Peterson was Ruth Bennett Lindsay, wife of the conductor. The concert. there fore, was a Lindsay triumph in more ways than one. Mrs. Lindsay upheld the harmonic texture Of the soloist's songs in q highly able manner. and this was particularly noteworthy considering the fact that under the circumstances there was no time for extended rehearsals with the singer.
 Opening with an aria from Puc- cini's Diana" Miss Peterson de- voted the remainder of her program to a varied medley of songs. Her voice, though not brilliant, was cy- pressiye. and she sang in a natural. carefrec manner In addition she had personality, winning the affcc- ton as well as the admiration of her audience.

And there ended another chapter in California's most atrocious crime.
 Liked Judges Voice
 "It was nice the way the judge said it," Hickman said after receiv- ing sentence.
 N~ He then asked newspaper men to tell the world I took it like a man." To emphasize his calm Hickman extended an arm that was free from nervousness.
 District Attorney Asa Keys said he would force the trial for the murder of Ivy Toms. druggist, so that "a double moose can be placed around Hickman's neck"
 Toms was shot while he held his arms over his head when two bandits that held up the store shot their way to freedom when cor- nered by a policeman.
 Hunt and Hickman admitted they were the bandits. but each blamed the other for the actual shooting. although under California statuteS they are equally guilty.
 The death sentence now facing Hickman will be delayed. in the opinion of Jerome Walsh and Rich ard Cantfllon. defense attorneys.
 They plan to appeal the case ito the last ditch," they said.
