CHANG TO STOP
STRIKES FOR us.
FIRMS FOR LOANS
Sells Out Workers to
Standard Oil Co.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 19.-The Nank-
ing Government has offered to guar
antee the Standard Oil Company of
New York and the British-American
Tobacco Company immunity from
strike and cut in sur-taxes in return
for loan of S5,000,000 to be made
Immediately, according to reports APP
pearing in the native press. Altho the
officials of both companies have de-
MED the report, credence is generally
given the reports in view of the gov
ernment's announcement that sur
taxes against these companies will
be cut in half beginning with January
18th.
The British-American Tobac o
Company is believed to be partic-
ularly anxious to enter into such a
bargain with the Marking govern
ment since it has been troubled with
number of effective strikes.
According to reports from Picking,
Chang Tso-lin's government h S
cabled Sao-Ke Alfred SEE, its min
lister in Washington, to cooperate with
a Marking government representative
who will be sent to Washington.
These reports are taken to indicate
growing rapprochement between the
Picking and Marking governments.
The growing anxiety of Chang
Kai-shek to secure the backing of the
United States was indicated in a
statement issued by him today IN
which he urged friendly relations
with foreign powers except the Soviet
Union.

BERLIN, Jan. 19.-An uprising in

reported to have broken out in Kovno.
According to the. reports, Waldo
maras is in hiding.
These reports have not been con-
firmed by the American consul at
Kovno, who wired that the situation
remains unchanged" Lithuania has
repeatedly protested against the at
tempts of the Polish. regime.
Premier Waldemaras refused sew
eral days ago to discuss Polish-Lith-
uanian trade with Poland, claiming
that he did not recognize the present
boundary between the two countries.
Waldemaras made it clear that peace
full relations between the two coun-
tries were impossible unless Lithuania
recovered Wilma. Pilsudski has made
it clear on a number of occasions that
Poland has no intention of returning
Wilma to Lithuania.
In spite of the "peace," supposed to
have been arranged by the League of
Nations last month, relations between
the two countries remain as strained
as ever. Polish and Lithuanian from
tier guards exchanged shots about a
week ago; one Lithuanian soldier was
wounded.

HARDING IS
 SPEAKER AT
 DOUG. P.-T.A.
On allenges Citizens ol Country for Failure
 Law Enforcement

In a forceful and very inter esting address before the Douglas Parent-Teacher Association last night, United States District At torney Justin Harding placed the responsibility of law enforcement directly on the citizens of the country. The officers of the law get the criminal if they can. and gathers the evidence, the Attor. ney for the government presents the evidence, then it is entirely up to the jury as to the results of the trial. And even more than the prisoner. is the jury itself oa trial. MT. Harding said.
 People, nowadays, want to do everything by law, when little can really be accomplished that way said MT. harding. Continuing, he said "Only by the building Of character can better citizenry be obtained. You cannot legislate character; that is the fundamental job of the parent, aided by the church and the school. In the ascendancy of crime, the nation is confronted with a daplorable condition. The shirking of their duties as citizens by the people, in and out of juries together with the strategies of the defense, are responsible.
 And right there lies the great opportunity which Parent Teach. CT Associations and similar organ izations have of doing much to- ward reducing lawiessness, by making it part of their regular business, and thus aid citizens in the better performance of their duties as such.'

and came almost entirely as q by product from placer-gold mining operations in the Dime Creek dis trict of Seward Peninsula. Only small quantity of quicksilver ore was mined in 1927, and all of 1t came from lodes in the cent.al part of the Kuskokwim Valley. The recent leasing of two large tracts of timber land in the ket- chikan and Juneau districts of southeastern Alaska. to be used in connection with projects for the manufacture of paper pulp, has stimulated search for suitable de posits of limestone and of sulphur ore. This search should result in developing two more of the Terri tory's mineral resources.

of oil in the vicinity of Johnson Creek. in the YakaIaga district, was carried on by the General Petroleum Co, almost continuous ly until the middle of October. when operations were suspended. During that time the well had been driven from a depth Of about S65 feet at the beginning or the year to depth of 2,0O5 feet. The formations encountered in the we'll are reported to have consisted principally of hard sand. stone and sandy shale with sub ordinate amounts of limestone. Several showings of gas had earlier been encountered at vac;. ous depths from the surface down to 232 feet, and additional show ings were noted at a depth of 1,643 feet. This well is known as the Sullivan No. 1.
 The only other place in Alaska where drilling for oil is in prog. ress is in the Matanuska Valley a few miles west of Chickaloou. where the Peterson Oil Assocja- tons well has now reached ] depth of S65 feet. Most of the formations penetrated after pass ing through about 1S0 feet of boulders and gravel near the sur face have consisted of shale and related rocks in which nine coal beds have been recognized. At a depth of about 225 feet the we'll struck considerable gas, which ig- nited readily in the bailer. The presence of coal bed at about this depth suggests that the gas may have come from that source rather than from an oil pool. The | geologic conditions in this gen eral region are not such as are usually associated with commer- cial deposits of petroleum, but the company is sufficiently en- | couraged by the work it has al ready done to continue still deep CT and intends to renew it's opar- alton at this point as early in the coming spring as practicable.
 Other Minerals
 Alaska also produced during 1927 some lead, marble, tin, plat mum, and quicksilver. Most of the lead comes from the gold ores of the Alaska Juneau mine, but an increasing quantity is recov- cred from the silver-lead ores of the Hyder district. Although the amount of lead produced in 1927 showed marked increase m quantity, the lesser price received for it made the value only a lit tie more than in 1926. The out put of marble came entirely from quarrles of the Vermont Marble Co.,, at Tokeen. on Prince of Wales Island, in southeastern Alaska. According to current re- ports, however. certain of the limestone deposits on Dall Island were acquired late in the season by the Pacific Coast Cement Co, and plans were under way to de- velop them as rapidly as conli- tions permit. The tin ore was de- rived principally from placers near York, in Seward Peninsula. but small amounts were also re- covered from placers in the Hot Springs district of the Yukon Tanana region. The mine of the Alaska Palladium Co.,, on Kasaan Peninsula in the Ketchikan dis trict, which has been the main source of platinum metals in the Territory, was closed throughout the year. The production of plat mum metals was therefore small
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-01-04


 The value of the copper produc- ed from Alaskan mines is esti- nqted to have been about s. 10000 less in 1927 than in 1926. Th1D decrease has been explained as due to the. low price of copper in 1927, which not only gave a lesser value to the copper pro- duced but also deterred operators from lowering the price still more bys dumping large quantities of metal on the market In 1927, as in earlier years. the output of copper was mainly made by m1nes operated by the Kennecott Cooper Corporation In the Copper Rtysr reglon ard on Latouche Isleud. At all these properties aGlive search for additional ore bo1ies was carried on during the yGnf, and 1t Is of interest to note t&9f besides the moro common nDthods, one of the electrical No1hods of prospecting was tried.

FEDERAL STANDARD IS
 SOUGHT FOR PLATINUM

NEW YORK, March 27-A fed eral stamp of approval on plati- mum is being sought by platinum smiths and jewellers of the United States in an effort to safeguard the platinum purchaser just as gold and silver buyers are now assured of quality by sterling" or karat marks.
 State laws regulating the quali- ty of platinum have been passed this year in Illinois and New York, and bill is now pending in congress to make the safeguard nationwide.
 Platinum, the most precious of metals, is mined in very small quantities, the annual output be- ing about 15O,O00 ounces, less than 10000 pounds. It's scarcity is in itself a temptation to reduce the quality by the introduction of al Joys.
 Today 60 per cent of the plati- mum mined is used for jewelry, while the rest is turned over to science. Electricity, physics, chem istry. radio, medicine and dentis- try have found the metal indis- , pensable. It's great strength and
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-03-27

it's pliabil;ty make it valuable in delicate experiments that cannot be performed with gold or silver.
 Most of the skilled platinum smiths in the world are in the United States, most of them in New York and Newark, N. J. While little of the metal is mined in this country. the nations vast wealth makes it the foremost mar ket.
 For many years the chief source of platinum was in the Ural noun tains in Russia, but the supply has declined there in late years, and now Columbia, in South Amer ica, leads in output.
 Evidences of the use of plati. mum in South America centuries before the coming of Columbus have been discovered recently Earrings, finger rings and pins are in excellent condition. Early Spanish adventurers in South America used platinum to counter. felt the accepted gold and silver coins of European countries until those nations placed the penalty of death upon those who use such methods.
