WaN Street Bneh

New York. Feb. 1S R-Wall street was inclined to regard the stock market with more cheerful ness today. as the declipe of more than . week appeared to have spent itself yesterday. and the volume df trading fell below 3.S0o.ooo shares, the smallest days business for full session this year. The "bull'' forces are hoping that 8 sharp curtailment of the volume of trading may meet the requirements of the credit struc- ture. and prevent further declines in stock prices.
 Domestic shipments of lead in January increased to 65.e7s tons, compared with s1,53s tons in De- cember the American bureau of metal statistics reports. November shipments were 7o.0sS tons.
 Wall street expects another sub ] stantial decrease in brokers loans to be reported this week as result of heavy liquidation in the stock mar ket and higher margin requirements. Nine of the leading steel com panies which have published their 1888 earnings have shown increased income over 1927 and for most of them the greatest profits were made in the fourth quarter. Present activ- ity in the industry leads many ob- servers to predict further pronounc- ed improvement. The nine are U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Jones & Laughlin. Inland. Republic, Crucible. Central Alloy, Otis and Gulf States.
 Sales of machine tools are being maintained at an excellent level in most of the leading industrial cen- ters of the country, with the south. perhaps. the only district where business activity is below that of this time last year, says American Ma chinist.
 New construction work contracted for in 37 states east of the Rocky
 Mountains. as reported to F. w. Dodge Corporation. increased &4,- l 500, 900 in the week ended Feb. Is over the previous week to $S2,0e2.- 900. Daily average of contracts let since Jan. 1 is $15.306,200, con- trasted with s1S,593,s0O in the cor responding 1928 period.
 Wall street heard today a French
 Ford company is to be organized shortly along the lines of English
 Ford Motor. Ltd. A German Ford company also has been organized. Holster Radio corporation of Newark, N. J., and San Francisco was repol :i to have virtually con- cluded negotiations with British l banking interests for organization of a new English company to he called Holster Brandes. Ltd.

Engineering and Mining Journal) Production of highgrade silver
 cad ore and concentrate from the Keno district, in the Yukon Terri tory, amounted in 1928 to 1000 sons, valued at about $2,O00. GOO, and 1929 is expected to show a sub stantial increase. Because of the tact that Treadwell Yukon, one of the Bradley intersts, is the prin- cipal producer in the district, the entire output is shipped to the Bunker Hill & Sullivan shelter at Kellogg, Idaho. At present ore must be hauled by caterpillar trac- tor from Keno Kill to Mayo, and then by river steamer to the rail- road at Whitehorse. Construction of a railroad into the district, which would involve about 400 miles of track, would greatly stim- ulate operations, as transportation is now the most important item in production costs.
 On Keno Hill, the principal pro- ducing center of the district, Tread well Yukon has several properties. the most important of which are the Wernecke and Lucky Queen mines. The Wernecke property is equipped with a 1,200 ton notation mill. Recently cable tramway has been constructed to connect the Lucky Queen with this plant. In six months, the Lucky Queen has produced about 1,500 tons of ore. The company acquired the property only about year ago. According to expectations, produc- tion for 1929 should be about 25 per cent higher. The main shaft is being deepened an additional 100 feet. Reserve Mining. which is controlled by the Marcus Daly estate, is also producing steadily from the Fisher and Lone Star mines, on Keno Hill. James w. Gerard is in charge of operations.
 On Galena Hill, Treadwell Yu- kon has two promising mines-the Brefalt and the Star. Sinking of a 200-foot shaft is now under way on No. 1 vein at the latter prop erty. and another shaft is being started on No. 2 vein. At the Bre- ialt, about fourteen men are em- ployed. driving three tunnels. High grade ore and considerable milling grade ore was recently struck on this property, and a small dump has been started. Several surface buildings have been erected this winter at both properties, including new hoist rooms, bunk houses, ore

bins, and buildings for the trans formers, as a power line has been completed from the Keno Hill plant, which generates electricity with Diesel engines. Treadwell Yu- kon is considering the erection Of Notation plant at the foot of Gal ena Hill. The Silver King and Webfoot claims, on Galena Hill, gre also producing.
 A possibility exists that the Gug- eenheim interests will resume op- erations at their properties in the district, which have been idle for several years. Yukon Gold, which formerly was the leading gold dredging company in the Dawson area, is the operating company fol these interests.
 About 40 miles north of the Keno Hill district new field has been opened up, known as the Beaver area. Consolidated Mining & Smelt- ing, of Canada, has taken III drills and next summer will conduct a

from 100000 to 5,0O0000 animals. Doubling in number every three years, as the herds do, the country should be fully stocked within 10 years, by which time annual ship ments to the States should ap- proximate 100000 carcasses,' he declared.
 Cites Present Production
 He cited figures of production for 1927 and 1928, showing heavy increases, and said during the present year the Lomen interests expect to ship over 10000 animals which will add 2,5O0ooo pounds of meat to southbound shipments. The industry, he said, is making possi- ble a permanent population over a wide area of Alaska that otherwise would remain practically uninhab- tied and will give to the American public an additional and welcome meat product.
 To handle the business, corrals, abattoirs, cold storage plants, range fences and cabins, transportation and a trained personnel are neces- sary. In the past three years the Lomen interests have put over $2,0O0,O0O into the industry. The policy of the company, he pointed out, is to spend all possible money in Alaska rather than in the States believing that the measure of suc- cess of our company in no small degree will be found in the devel- opment of the communities in which we do our work"
 Use of Planes
 Airplanes will be utilized by the company in it's operations, he said. "The airplanes has already done much for the industry and we ex- pect within a very few years the airplane will be used as the eyes and brains of our herding and roundups. We have already prov en that by flying over range for an hour that as much good can be accomplished in the way of locat- ing animals as four men can ac- complish in 10 days on foot.

 to ask anyone to speak on such subject"
 Two Noted Organizations
 Representative Tarwater praised
 he hospitality of Juneau. The community was noted for two fine organizations the Chamber of Commerce and the Volunteer Fire Department. It was right that two such organizations should be as- sociated together-one to build up business and industry and the other to give it protection.
 The influence of the Juneau Chamber does not stop within the towns limits but extends through out the Territory, he said Any thing it accomplishes to benefit this town is also of benefit to all Alaska.
 The potential possibilities of AL aska make it one of the most in- viting parts of the whole country. Its surface has merely been scratched for minerals and suc- ceeding generations will uncover greater mineral wealth than has yet been produced fro mits mines.
 Alaska's fish are carried to all parts of the world and it is the duty of the Territory to see that the fisheries are protected and pre- served. The fur industry is in it's infancy. Alaskan furs are recig- nized as among the finest in the world. The fur farming industry will become greater and more prof itable as time passes.
 He predicted great growth in the agricultural industry and de- picted the Territory as future grain growing country. We should be proud to be pioneers of the last American frontier preparing for future powerful and rich com- monwealth, he said in conclusion.
 Reindeer Industry
 Representatives Lomen, head of the Lomen reindeer interests on Seward Peninsula, portrayed gra- phically the present status of the industry and foretold rapid and remarkable growth for it in the immediate future. Reindeer is to the Second Division what the fish, cries are to the First and Third divisions, he declared
 He characterized the reindeer in- dustry as "Alaska's most original and romantic contribution to the economy of the world" It is today valued at double the sum the United States paid Russia for the Territory and it's growth has sur passed every prophecy and dream of it's founders.
 Introduced in 1892 from Siberia with the importations of 1,2o0 ani- mals in the succeeding decade, herds now graze from Point Bar row to the Alaska Peninsula and from Cape Prince of Wales to the Alaska Railroad, numbering 1,000,- GOO animals.
 Alaska contains an area of more than 120000,0O0 acres of land suit able for grazing of reindeer, and useless for agricultural purposes, sufficient to permanently support

HOME STATE OF COBB PRODUCED
 MANY s STARS

ATLANTA, Ga, March 15.--Men- tion of Georgia at baseball fan ming bee naturally turns the con- versation to Tyrus Raymond Cobb, possibly the greatest all-time play CT Of professional baseball.
 But Georgia's baseball reputation has not been built on the amazing fea5s of the Royston veteran alone.
 Retracing the birthplaces of some of the outstanding ball players of the last two or three decades indi- catcs that the red clay hills of the Cracker State have proved base ball hotbed. A complete team with every position well covered can be built from the native born Geor- gians who have won fame on the skinned diamond They are:
 Catchers - Ivy Wingo, Jumbo" Barrett.
 Pitchers - Sherrod Smith, Nap Rucker, Erskine, Mayer, Weldon Henley, Ed Lafitte, Tiny Osborne, Frank Sparks, Phil Douglas, Kel- lar Nasty, Jimmy Lavender, Bob Smith.
 First base-Bill Terry.
 Second base-Jaay Partridge
 Shortstop-Harry Holland.
 Third base = J. Carlisle Smith md Bob Barrett.
 Outfeld-Ty Cobb, Red Wingo, i,leo Carlyle. Sammy Mayer, Roy Carlyle, Burney Griffin.
 Those familiar with baseball of two decades ago easily recall the names of Weldon Henley, who won fame with Georgia Tech and later with the Philadelphia Athletics, and Frank Sparks, who starred with the old Philadelphia Nationals.
 Cobb, Fucker and Sherry Smith were next in order Of later era were Erskine Mayer, pitching hero of the Phils in 1915; Ed Lafitte, with Detroit; J. Carlisle Smith, third baseman of the world cham pion Braves in 1914; Jimmy Law ender, right handler, with the Cubs, and Ivy Wingo, former regular catcher for Cincinnati. Harry Hol- land started for Atlanta and was with Washington and Minneapolis about the same time.
 Of more recent vintage were Sammy Mayer, brother of Erskine who performed in the Federal League, as well as with Atlanta, Little Rock, Louisville and Wash ington, and Roy Carlyle, who play ed with the Senators and Red Sox and is now back in the Southern League.
 Of the present crop of sparklers in the majors, Bill Terry, Red Win go and Bob Smith are the leaders while Jay Partridge, Jumbo Bar rett, Tiny Osborne, Cleo Carlyle, Kellar Nasty and Burney Griffin are working in the highoc class minors and doing well.

drilling campaign on a group of claims on Mckay Hill. Ore has been found on several other hills in the district, and about 800 claims have been located there.
 At present all ore from the var ious mines in the Keno Hill dis trict is hauled to Mayo by means of caterpillar tractors. The distance is more than 40 miles, and the trip takes about eight hours. From Mayo, shipments are taken about l90 miles down the Stewart River and 360 miles up the Yukon River, to Whitchorse, where they arc transferred to the railroad. This oakes them 110 miles to Skagway, on the coast, where they are put on the steamers that go down the coast to Seattle. Rapid communi- cation with the outside world is now maintained all year round by airplanes. Next season they will oe used for exploration and pros ,ecting work as well.
