does not signify in the least that mining in the Territory is seri- ously on the wane. In fact, there are many indications that mining operators are taking renewed interest in the Territory and that plans are already under way which should materially increase the output of certain minerals in the near future. It is true that these activities are confined prin- cipally to the larger enterprises. for the small operator or prospec- tor is much less in evidence than heretofore. This is not at al surprising, because the current wages in the States are higher and the expenses in general low CT than in Alaska These condi. tions thus give. little incentive for the individual to seek his fortune in Alaska, though there are still large areas in Alaska which have 'iOt stOth uuSfuutCis pfooPttsf.i md in which even a person with little capital may find mineral de- aosits that will make larger re- turns for the time and effort spent in their development than an be obtained under similar 'onditions in many parts of the states proper.

FEDERAL SUPERVISION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Fed- eral Supervision of American Icomnlfrcial aviation and means for dkveloping 1t was advocated by Col. Charles A Lindbergh to the House Committee. This was revealed today with the report of a bill to provide the Depart ment of Commerce with funds.
 Col. Lindbergh pictured air navigation as on the threshold of a glowing future. He urged that Congress legislate in its interest.
 Col Lindbergh recommended widespread airways mot only with view of the conditions that now exist but with view toward development we are bound to have in navigation and in de- velopment of aircraft.
 ''I do not think that the air craft of today is nearly as eff cient as it will be within a few years from now. I believe we will be able to fly and land in practically every kind of weather conditions when radio instru- ments, radio beacons and other means of combating weather conditions are fully developed. We will eventually combat fogs."
 Col. Lindbergh further testi- fled before the committee recent ly that uniform laws and regu- lations for fliers and flying are very important.

KIDNAPpER AND SLAYER MAKES
 DEFENSE MOVE
Insanity Plea Made to Both Charges Which Are
 Against Youth
TRIAL DATE IS
 ON JANUARY 25
Brief but Dramatic Hear ing Takes Place Tn
 Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. A. William k. Hickman has pleaded not, guilty to the charges of kid mapping and muTdering Marian Parker, 12-year-old school girl, "by reason of insanity"
 Hickman at first pleaded in- sanity to the murder charge alone, but changed it later to cover both accusations.
 Asked by the Court if he knew the insanity plea was an admis- sion of the killing of the girl. Hickman replied with q brief Yes"
 Judge Hardy fixed the date of the trial as January 25.
 Hiekmans attorney, Jerome Walsh. of Kansas City. filed an affidavit asking delay in the plea but this was denied.
 Following making of the plea, Walsh asked for q s5-day con- .tinuanne before the triais which Is five days over the legal limit fn this State. Judge Hardy end- ed the argument by fixing the date.
 Brief Proceeding
 The brief but dramatic pro- ceedings established one thing. They set at rest rumors that Hickman might seek to escape Lthe death penalty by claiming he was under IS years of age.
 In his affidavit asking for time to- find insanity witnesses, Attor- ney Walsh declared that flick man, although under 21, is of Iage to permit hanging. Ito wit, l9 years"
 Although Hickman's plea leg ally leaves only the question of his sanity for the court to de- eide, authorities connected with the case said the whole gruesome |crime will be revealed, as neces- sary to the jury to proceed i'll the process of determining the young slayer's sanity.
 Attorneys pointed out that the burden of proof in his plea of sanity. rests with the defense. as the California State law holds presumption of sanity.

$14,445,OO0 $17.664,S General Conditions

Although, as shown by the pre- ceding table, the Geological Sur. vey estimates that the value o Alaska's mineral production wa considerably less in 1927 than il 1926, this decrease in value is b. no means to be attributed solel. to decreased mining activity. < considerable part of the decreas noted is directly due to the low price that prevailed during tn year for many of the metals Thus, according to the estimate compiled by the Bureau of Mine regarding the average price of the different metals during the year the price of copper was 13 cent pound. silver SGT cents asi ounce. and lead CIT cents . pound, or O.S cent, 5.7. and 1.4f cents, respectively lower than tn prices for the same metals duss ing 1926. These lower prices alone would account for de crease in value of nearly $500,00o It is not only directly that thes- low prices have adversely affect ed the value of the mineral out put, but their indirect effect ii curtailing production is even nor. pronounced. It lis obvious that { period of low prices does no stimulate production but rathel tends to cause retrenchment and reduction in. output.
