kLASKAJUNEAU CLEARS S141,0OO
 DURING AUGUST
Operating Profit for Month One of Largest in His
 tory of Company

Showing an operating profit of Sl4l GOO for August, the Alaska Ju- neau Gold Mining Company's local plant had one of the best, if in fact not the most profitable, month in it's history. After deducting ex- penses for prospecting other proper ties held by the company and ac- crued charges, the operating sur plus for the month was $123,900.
 These figures were made public in the monthly operations issued from the San Francisco office. The operating profit was $27,500 larger than in July and the operating sur plus was 27,000 larger.
 Total Recovery High
 The total value of the gold, lead and silver recovered was $317 900, $3O8,300 being gold. The average for the gold per ton was 90.10 cents and for lead and silver 2.54 cents. The costs averaged 51 AT cents leav- ing an operating profit of 41.23 per ton. To mine and tram the ore into the mill cost the company just 26.47 cents per ton. remarkably low figure and equalled by the low cost of milling which averaged 2193 cents per ton. Other local costs incidental to the operations of the property added 2.34 cents per ton, ana New York stock transfer | and San Francisco office overhead l073 cents per ton.
 Financing Prospecting The prospecting being done by the Alaska Juneau on the Taku River, at Pleasant Camp on the Stampede Group and on another property on the American side of the boundary on the Taku is being financed by the company out of it's operating profits of the local mine. In Au- gust these charges amounted to $8,000.
 While no statement has been made by company officers as to the showing so far made, the policy of the company in buying up the ad- joining claims to the Manville Group seems to point to unusual confidence in the ultimate outcome of the present development pro- gram.
 Work on the Manville. Sparline and Hill Groups, while part of 2 unified program, is being prose- cuted on each as a separate entity On the first a permanent camp has been erected, machines placed, in cluding compressors and diamond drills, and substantial progress made on diamond drilling, tunnel ling and sinking shaft to connect with the main prospecting tunnel Camps are being erected on the other two groups and it is planned to carry on development work or all three properties throughout thu winter.

SLIGHT REACTION l ID 0'fALL0N CASE
Decision Causes Surprisingly Slight Gains on Stock Market
I:y Stanley w. Pren osil

Associated Press Financial Editor
 New York. May 21 R,-The cloui of higher money rates hung over the stock market again today and prices generally lost ground despite the sporadic efforts of pools to bring about 2 general rally. Rails d.s- played a fairly firm undertone in re- fiection of the favorable St. Louis X O'FallOn decision but the industrials and public utilities encountered fur ther selling pressure.
 Call money renewed at per cent. but the supply of funds avail able at that figure was scarce, ani the rate is expected to work higher. Time money continues firm around the highest levels in years.
 In view of the expected strin- gency around the end of the month. several brokerage houses have been advising their customers to tighten long commitments and reduce mar Eins. Which probably accounts for much of the selling in the last few days.
 Failure Of the market to make a more favorable response to the O'Fallon decision led to a resump- ton of selling by professional oper- ators, who acted on the theory that the market was Over-bOught. and that the general run of traders lacked sufficient buying power to | take advantage of favorable news dc tvelopments. Brokers report that the borrowing demand for stocks. particularly the motors. indicates the presence of a large short interest.

 Agriculture experiment stations in Maine, New York. Michigan, Wis consin, Minnesota and other inn portant potato producing states are the beauty parlors that will try to give the "spud "a prettier face. smoother eyes and more attractive skin.
 There are several reasons for the Operation" It is expected to en- nance the potato's commercial ap- peal, whet the consumers appetite, and save the producer huge losses from a number of common diseases that the healthier tuber may escape. Dr. William Stuart, in charge of potato investigations for the depart ment of agriculture, has found that strains resistant to mosiac, leafroll and other diseases may be bred at the same time for better general appearance.
 Primarily the governments plant breeding program, for which con- gress has made an annual appro-
 priation of S20.000, is to develop high yielding strains of smooth eyed
 Irish Cobblers, Rurals immune to
 leafroll and Green Mountains and Bliss Triumphs resistant to mosiac. While all major potato produc- ing states will cooperate. the more
 important projects in pollination and hybridizing will be conducted by the
 government in Maine during the

 Seventy one Jewish laymen, schol- ars and rabbis would occupy the ju- dicial bench. and the entire Chris tian world would be called as wit nesses The new trial is proposed, also, to "better the future spiritual welfare of Jews the world over" The movement is part of that aimed at the re-establishment of the Jewish naton. vision winch ap- peared to Jewry with General Allen by's bare-headed entrance into Jeru- salem in 1917.
