Heavy Drop in Canned Sal mon Production Hits
 Showing for Year

Alaska's outgoing commerce foi the first II months of 1927 had q declared value of $53,05S, ,69O, according to figures released to- day by Collector of Customs J. c. Mcbride. This amount is prob ably a little short of the actual total of all shipments for the period covered as it does not in- cIudc gold shipments made by mail or the seal skin take by the Department of Commerce at the ,Prfbilof Island sealing grounds.
 Compared with the same months of 1926. last year showed loss of $23.269.725 which was accounted for by the terrific drop in the quantity of salmon canned and sharp loss in the quantity of copper ore shipped out. How ever. 1t was not far below the commerce of 1925, about $4,00O,- 900 less than the total for the latter year.
 Fisheries Still Lead Despite the depression in the salmon canning industry, the 'sbroducts of the fisheries continued do hold first place. The total fisheries production had value bf $34,s4s, 275, considerably more <than 50 per cent of the grand total for the Il months. The value of canned salmon for the period was $27,22O,s02. In the similar period in 1926 the aggre- gate worth of all fisheries pro duets was s55.765.s54 and that of the canned salmon $4S,O24,- 051.

 New industrial buildings and many fine residences featured the private building activities, while construction of new and perman- cnt streets and the initial work on the Federal government dock project marked Municipal an I Government achievements.
 New Building Program
 The outlook for continued pros pcrity il. the building trades dur ing 1928 is regarded as more promising even than that of last year Included in the program for this years building are. thtss., new high school building costing about $75,000; Masonic Temple, a $50,000 structure: the $200,000 ex- penditure initiating work on the Territorial Capitol building anl completion of the government dock
 New Structures
 The outstanding new structures which have been completed are the Juneau Cold Storage plant, built at an expenditure of $125,- 900; the Southeastern Alaska Fair building which construction cost $20,000; additional building and operating facilities at the Juneau Lumber Mill, approximating $115.- 000; the four concrete homes built by G.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ?. = Tn actual immediate results the fail ure of the Geneva Conference is not necessarily immeasurable. But it is most unfortunate that some agreement was not reached.
 If this failure be taken as the end of all effort to bring about disarmament. and if it is to be accepted as the full duty of na- tions or governments which had hoped for better results. then the breakdown at Geneva will amount to calamity well-nigh incal- cnlable in it's widespread and far reaching consequences. If the world is to drop back into hope less acquiescence in this fright ful tendency to pile tax burdens upon the masses already over burdened for the purpose of main taining great military establish ments and hugo ornaments, then Geneva will he remembered. not as T disappointment, but as a disaster.

Al SETS NEW MINE RECORDS
 IN PAST YEAR
Alaska Juneau's Produc- ton for 1927 Reaches
 High with $2, ESQ., 900 <

Smashing all of it's own high records of the past, the Alas.:a Juneau Gold Mining Company il, 1927 had the best year in its his tory. according to figures cover. ing the years operations which were made public today by Gen. eral Superintendent l.. II. Metzgar. It's gold production for the year was s2,3s0,0O0.
 II mined, trammcd and millcd more ore than in any other year since it began large-scale opera. tions. And it accomplished this with the same average daily labor roll as in 1926. The daily average of men employed last year was GOO. the same figure given for 1926.
 Tonnage Is Huge
 The tonnage trammed from the mine during 1927 was 4.2S3 .0oo tons, as compared to 3.SoO. .OOo tons in 1926, gain of ls3.oao tons. It was 7S1,360 tons more than were trammed out in 1925
 Of the total hauled out of the mine. 1,S41,000 tons of ore were fine milled. This was 2i1.Ooo more than in 1926 when only r. 6O0,o0O tons went through the fine milling process. The total. aintH Of ore tsiss.1 tse f sts Wssrr. was 2,422.000 tons, 222,oo0 more than in 1926
 Lay New Tracks
 The company's betterment pro- gram was continued throughout the year Virtually all of the track between the mill and mine was relaid, new ties being put down and new rails laid.
 In the mill several new con veyor belts were installed and various others were completely le- built.
 The underground mining anl development program continued unabated in accord with the schedules.
 Almost Half of Total
 The company's gold output con tinued to be the major factor in the Territory's gold production. ! Figures made public today by Col ! I 4 showed $5,097,175 in gold shipped to the States from all of Alaska 1 during the first II months of last ] year This is but little more than 1 double the local mines yield for the full year.

FORESTS HAVE GOOD YEAR IN
 THIS SECTION
Forest Service Reviews Ac.
 tivitics in Forest Indus tfics m s. E. Alaska

In view of the fact that 1927 was not favorable year for the timber industry of the Pacific Coast as a whole, the situation on the coast of Alaska can be re- garded as having been quite sa.- isfactory, and the ground work for major development of forest industries on large scale was apparently laid.
 The annual report of timber cut on the national forests of Alaska which has just been compiled by the Forest Service, shows a total production for the year of 55,300,- 900 board feet, having a stump age value of 92.465.00 The cut was practically the same as fo" the previous year and only 2A million board feet short of the banner year 1925. The great con centration of the timber industry in Southeastern Alaska is sho .n by the fact that 52 million board feet, or 94 per cent of the 1927 production, came from the for ests of this section.
 Local Demand Good
 The demand in Southeastern Alaska for all grades of lumber and for piling and fish-trap logs was good and in addition the mills here had an increased business with westward and interior poin Is. The policy of the Alaska Railroad in purchasing hemlock ties in Southeastern Alaska rather than Douglas fir ties on Puget Sound has been of great benefit to the local mills and logging firms. Not less than 50,000 ties were sent from this section to Seward dur ing the year and without doub. this business will increase rapid ly. Heretofore, the Alaska Rasl- road and Copper River Railroad have obtained ties from points along their rights-of-way but such local sources of supply are be- coming exhausted. The readily accessible forests of Southeastern Alaska and parts of Prince Will liam Sound are in an excellent position to cover this local de- ficiency in such material. The possibilities of these tie markets can be appreciated when it is re- alized that the two railroads men tioned above require from 175,O0O to 100000 ties yearly.
 Fine Season Here
 The local sawmill has had the biggest season in the history of the plant. cutting more than H. 900 00O board feet of logs, an in- crease of B 1-3 per cent ovsr 1926. It's output, which was sold largely for use in Alaska, inclui- ed 36,000 ties for the Alaska Rail road and 75O,OOO salmon boxes for the canneries: 100000 board feet of high grade spruce was sent C Seattle for trans-shipment to the United Kingdom. Since the re- building and re-equipping of this mill last spring, Juneau has a thoroughly modern lumber mana
