NEW INVESTMENT TRUST
 BASED ON MINING

The Diversified Mining Se- curities, Limited" a company of the investment trust" type employing mining as the basis of it's investment activities, has been formed in Vancouver.
 The new concern is not a min company and proposes to de- vote it's activities principally to the acquisition of approved mining shares which present lucrative possibilities.
 The capitalization is made up of 10000 cumulative preferred shares bearing a 6 per cent dividend requirement, the par value of which is $25 per share, and 100000 common shares of no par value. Each preferred share sold at $50 carries with it one common share, leaving 6O,0O0 common shares, which control the com pany, in its treasury.
 Directors of the company in- clude R. H. Stewart, Gen. R. P. Clark, Gen. H. F. Macdonald, T. H. Kirk, T. w. B. London and Nelson Spencer, all of Vancouver.

 That there are in the Copper River region, as we'll as in oth- CT parts of Alaska, other de- posits that hold promise of profitable development seems likely, and prospecting work s in progress at a number of 5hese places.
 Most of the silver produced in Alaska during recent years has been recovered from the copper ores--in fact, during 1927 over three-quarters of the 'ilver came from that source. With the great reduction in
 he output of the copper ore n 1928 the quantity of silver naturally shows a correspond Ing decrease. Some silver is also recovered from the gold rom lodes and placers and from ores that are principally valuable for the lead and sil- yer they contain. Most of the ore of this sort is mined in the dyder district in southeastern Alaska. Silver-lead ores are, however, known in widely sep lrated parts of the Territory md some mining and prospect ing is in progress at several places on ores of this type. The high cost of transportation and treatment discourages develop ment of or search for these ores except in the more access ble parts of Alaska.
 The production of coal from Alaskan mines was greater in 1928 than in 1927--in fact, the preliminary estimates indicate hat more coal was produced n 1928 than in any earlier year. As usual, the greater part of the production came from the MatanuSka and Healy River fields. The princi- pal producing mines in the Matanuska fields were those o1 the Evan Jones Coal Go. and Continued on Page 3.

Alaska was again revealed as a treasure house by an item arriving in Seattle recently aboard the Boxer-50 tons of tin concentrates. It is said that Alaska is the only commercial producer of tin on the North American continent. The worlds canning industry de- bends on tin and if Alaska can develop substantial output she can buy the world. The concentrates were produced by George Waldheim and H. J. Christensen, using Eskimo la bor. Their base of operations was Tin City, Cape Prince of Wales. The shipment was the largest ever sent out of Alaska to Seattle, and is the third shipment so far sent out. The consignment is worth $7OO per ton, totaling $35,OOO. It will be shipped to Singapore, where it will be refined and then, perhaps, be returned as tin plate to Seattle and Alaska.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR
 UNITED EMPIRE

That the future development outlook for the United Empire property, a short distance above Stewart, is distinctly good is indicated by a report made to the United Empire Gold and Silver Mining Co.,, Ltd., by Wm. Damn, managing director. The report also dis closes that the company is in good financial position.
 Exploratory work along the No. l vein during the past season proved highly satisfact- ory, the report shows, uncov- ering high grade galena ore assaying as high as $150 per ton. The metallic clements in- clude gold, silver, lead and zinc, with the silver providing the major values. A tunnel driven on the vein to further determine it's possibilities dis closed continuous lenses of ore of varying width and values along a Tenth of 40 rect. An assay taken across AZ feet of the six foot face of ore at he time work was suspended gave returns of $1.20 gold, S30.68 silver, $6.50 lead and ;11.O9 in zinc, a total of $49- 47. Open cut work on the vein proved it to extend 450 seet further than previously xnown. A
 Prominent among the results of the seasons operations was he discovery and crosscutting )f a strong vein at 5000 feet elevation, the surface showings of which assayed about $10 in gold, silver and copper across 2 width of IA feet.
 Work done during the season included driving of ITO feet of ;rosscut and drift tunnels on
 he three proven veins, in ad- lition to numerous open cuts; construction of 1,500 feet of rail between the upper and over tunnels, construction of 4 mile of pack trail; renovat- on of camp buildings and the building of a blacksmith shop. A survey of the 15 claims com prising the company holdings was also completed and crown granting processes for II claims were instituted.

ground were made that yield ed any considerable amount of gold. There still remain, however, large placer reserves that could undoubtedly be worked by companies having adequate capital and skilled engineering aid.
 The value of copper produced from Alaska mines in 1928 is estimated to have been 6,10O,- 900, a decrease of about $1,- 15O,OOO over the value of cop per produced in 1927. In 1928, IS in former years, practically Ill of the copper came from ,wo mines near Kennecott, in he Copper River region, and rom one mine on Latouche
 sland, in the Prince William Sound region. These mines, ac- ,ording to records of the Geo.
 ogical Survey, have yielded ,opper worth $200,O0O,000 in he IS years or so that they nave been actively developed. Extensive tests have been made to determine the extent of the known ore bodies at these mines and to disclose any other bodies, but no no- table new ore bodies are re- ported to have been discovered

Local mining shares have commenced to move upward on the Vancouver Stock Ex- change. George Copper was quoted at $8.75 yesterday, Georgia River reached a new high at 36 and B. c. Silver ad- vanced to $1.5O. A number of others have also advanced a few points.

ALASKA MINERAL
 PRODUCTION 1928

Advance statements prepared by the Alaskan branch of the Geological Survey announce that mines in Alaska are esti- mated to have produced min erals to the value of $14,12S,- 900 in 1928, as against $14,- 404, 900 1927. The total value of the mineral output of Alas ka since 1880 is nearly $6OO,- OOO,0OO.
 The figures for 1928, which are preliminary estimates and subject to revision, are taken from the Geological Surveys annual report on the mineral resources of Alaska, now in preparation. The source of this mineral wealth, is approxi- mately as follows:
 1928
 Gold S6,775, 900 Copper 6,1OO, 900 Silver 273,OOO Coal 624,00O Other minerals Qead, petroleum, marble, tin, platinum, etc,) 356,OOO
 ----------------
 14,128, ,OOO The mineral output of 1927 is given below for purposes of comparison.
 1927
 Gold $5,927,OOO Copper 7,25O,OOO Silver 356,OOO Coal 548, 1000 Other minerals (lead, petroleum, marble, tin, platinum, etc.) 323,000
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-01-05
14,4O4,OOO

Total production of gold from Alaskan mines in 1928 is esti- mated at $6,775,000, a note worthy increase over the pro- duction of 1927, and is attrib- utable to increased output by both lode and placer mines. The greatest increase, howev- CT, came from lode mines, so that the ratio of the value of the gold produced by them to that of the gold produced by the placers seems to have been about 52.7 to 47.3. Tins is a rather significant change, be- cause in 1927 the correspond ing ratio was about 50 to 50, in 1926 it was about A to 56 and for the entire period that gold mining has been in prog ress in the Territory it has been B to 67.
 The increase in production of gold from lode mines is attrib- utable mostly to greater out put from the Alaska Juneau Mining Go. properties in south eastern Alaska. The quantity of ore mined by this company appears to have been some what less than in the preced- ing year, but it's gold tenor was much higher. No note worthy new developments were reported at the other gold lode mines.
 The production from a num- Der of small mines in the Hy- Der and Ketchikan districts was considerably larger than in 1927. The gold lode mines of the Willow Creek district report somewhat smaller output than in the preceding year and considerably less than formerly. The small gold lode mines in the Fairbanks district report a considerable increase in their yield of gold. Several other small lode mines scattered widely through the Territory, but especially in Ke-

"A Sional partners at the Chevy
4 A Chase Club, we are more con-
WINGED than ever that there
must be good deal to this putting
business in golf When it is considered
that a 10-inch putt rates as high on the
score card as a 250-yard drive, and
after seeing the seniors who played in
the professional event noncha-
lantly hole out puts ranging from 20
feet down to feet in length, one must
come to the conclusion that, after all,
putting is rather an important part of
the game of golf.
But when a man like Gen. Charles
G.sTreat, a distinguished soldier of the
United States, and man who is right
on top of the 70-year-old mark in age,
can hole out three Hooters with extreme
accuracy with one hand, why is it that
most golfers tremble at the thought of
a three or four footer with two hands?
We sat watching the play to the ninth
green at Chevy Chase, where some IA
seniors played with professional part
ners from the host club and other Or
CARNATIONS in the Middle Atlantic Sec
ton
And only one senior missed his putt,
a three-footer for 4. The man who
missed it probably was the best amateur
like the other seniors, played his tee
shot from the lower tee at the ninth
hole and drove within two yards of the
edge of the green, 210 yards away.
Then he took center shaft wooden
headed putter and nearly holed the
run-up putt for deuce. DR.. Thomas
A. Utz of Indian Spring was over the
first nine in AZ strokes, holing 25-foot
putt on the eighth green, and playing

out: who in the dickens is the pro-
fessional in that combination, anyhow"
And little George Diffenbaugh grinned
while he watched DR.. Utz run down
the puts that spelled a place in the
money to the diminutive Indian Spring
professional, for Utz was his partner
On that ninth green we saw puts
missed, but not by the seniors. When
they were missed they were missed by
the professionals. In only one case did
senior (55 years of age and more)
miss a putt under 10 feet, and they
were holed up to 20 feet. It may be
that putting is quite an important part
of the game, after all.
Gen. Treat thinks so, too, for he
holed a lengthy one on the first green
in his Liberty Cup match to beat D.
D. l.. McGrew on the first extra hole
of an overtime battle This pair both
have handicaps of IS, and played ex-
actly level to their handicapS, for they

- HIcAGo, october 15.-There
will be lot of improvement in
Michigan foot ball affairs be-
~ fore Saturday-or several play
ers who started against Purdue
last Saturday will have choice sideline
seats from which to watch the VOL
verines in action against its ancient zoe,
Ohio State.
Thoroughly discouraged with the per-
Torrance OF his team, which received
one of the worst beatings from Purdue
that a Michigan aggregation ever mas
suffered Coach Harry Ktpke has de-
creed that all hands will play the best
they know how or turn in their
uniforms. He outlined a practice pro-
gram, including two scrimmages and
long sessions In blocking, to be accom-
plished before Saturday when Ohio
State goes to Ann Arbor to engage
Michigan for the twenty sixth time.
The first of the scrimmages was set Tor
today
Purdue came through the contest
with no serious injuries and started
planning for the Chicago game two
weeks away. The Boilermakers will
meet De Paw Saturday in a game
that should furnish Jimmy PhelanS
reserves with a chance to pick up COM
bat experience.
Regulars of all Big Ten teams except
Wisconsin and Illinois, were let of with
light work yesterday but were to get
back into harness today. At Wisconsin,
Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite passed up
the usual light Monday workout and
sent his varsity through 45-minute
scrimmage against the freshmen. The
defeat by Northwestern last Saturday
left the Badgers in a revengeful mood
and they ran wild over the first-year
men. There were no changes in the
Wisconsin lineup and Thistlethwa1te
indicated the same eleven men would
start against Notre Dame Saturday at
Soldier Field Chicago.
Illinois first two teams scrimmaged
against the third team and failed to
Impress Coach Zuppke with their ability
to cope with Iowa formations. The
third squad gained considerable ground
using Hawkeye plays against both reg
ular teams Iowa'S defeat at Ohio
State last Saturday will only make the
Hawkeyes tougher when the Illini take
the field at Iowa City to open their
Big Ten schedule, zuppke thought.
Coach Ingwerson is trying to put
scoring punch into the Hawkeyes, but
