COURT TERM AT
 KETCHTKAN CALLED

Federal Judge Harding has designated February 18 as the date for the convening of a term of the District court at Ketchikan and a petit jury panel of 75 has been drawn to report on February 19, accord ing to announcements made in Juneau last week.
 Mrs. Marion A. Johnson is the only Hyder resident whose name appears on the list.
 It is expected that Judge E. Coke Hill will come to this di- vision to hear criminal cases which were initiated by the government during Judge Harding's tenure as United States district attorney, owing to the new incumbent being disqualified to hear such cases.

TWO KILLED IN
 MINE ACCIDENT

John Stahlberg was instantly killed and Frank Norman was so seriously injured that he ex- pired within a few hours as a result of an explosion occur ring in the No. 3O1 drift at the Big Missouri mine about 4:20 p m. last Saturday afternoon.
 From evidence presented at the Coroner's inquest held in Stewart Friday, the two men, who were shift partners, ap- parently delayed too long in leaving the drift after starting round of shots and were ov- ertaken before they could es- cape.
 The discovery of their lamps at the face of the drift after the blast is looked upon as certain indication that the men had not attempted to leave the face before the blast started. -Stahlberg, was badly mang- led by the flying rock and was dead when found. Norman, who was widely known to his associates as Pretty Frank" lived about three hours before passing away in Premier hospi- tai.
 The coroner's jury returned two verdicts in which they ex- pressed the opinion that the men had stayed too long at the face after firing the fatal round of shots and exonerated the company from blame for the accident.
 Both Stahlberg and Norman were widely known and high ly regarded members of the community. Stahlberg was of Norwegian descent, while Nor man was a native of Finland. Nothing could be learned re- garding surviving relatives.

BULLFROGS WILL FIGHT
 MOSQUITOES IN ALASKA

Alaska's mosquitoes will have a new foe next spring-the large Oregon bull frog.
 The web-footed creatures will be introduced into the territory by the Bureau of Education in an effort to aid miners and others to combat the pest. The big green and brown frog has been noted in Oregon as the natural enemy of mosquitoes, says a Seattle news dispatch.
 The croak of the frog has been unknown in Alaska and Jonathan H. Wagner, superin- tendent of the Alaska division of the bureau, believes that it is partly because of this lack of frogs that mosquitoes have become so numerous.
 Frogs will be shipped from Oregon this spring to small islands of Southeastern Alaska and planted in the deeper ponds. Small islands were chosen because results can be ascertained better.
 If the experiment proves suc- cessful, a general importation will follow. It is believed frogs can survive even the cold win ter of northern Alaska.

HARDING TAKES OATH
 AS DISTRICT JUDGE

Justin w Harding, newly ap- pointed Judge of the First Di- vision District Court, took the oath of office at Juneau and entered upon his new duties January 28, according to the Juneau Empire. The oath of office was administered by John H. Dunn Clerk of the District Court, immediately following the arrival of Judge Harding's commission from Washington, D. c.
 Following his induction into office, Judge Harding an- nounced the reappointment of MT. Dunn as Clerk of Court. John H. Newman, Court Re- porter, was also re-appointed to the same position. MT. Dunn has been Clerk of the Court since 1921, having been ap- pointed by the late Judge T. M. Reed. MT. Newman has held his position for the past two years.
 Judge Harding had little to say regarding the appointment of United States Commissioner for the various precincts. He said he had given the subject but little thought and was not ready to make announcements at the time.
 Later Judge Harding an- nounced the temporary ap- pointment of Howard D. Stab- Ter as United States Attorney, pending the confirmation of MT. Stabler's recent nominat- ion to the office.

SMALLPOX IN JUNEAU

The presence of two cases of smallpox in Juneau was an- nounced a few days ago by the city and territorial health au- thorities. Every possible pre- caution is being taken to pre- vent a spread of the disease, although it is admitted that there is a chance that other cases might develop, owing to the two victims, Kenneth Kim borough and F. B. Smith, hay ing been in contact with others before the nature of their ill., ness was discovered. All of the direct contacts have been vac- cinated and are being closely observed, but to guard against possible contingencies, the Ter ritorial Health Commissioner has advised all unvaccinated persons in the city to undergo vaccination.

RUBY SILVER
 CHANGES NAME


 Ruby Silver Mines, Ltd., has decided to alter the name of the company to Ruby Silver Copper Mines, Ltd, according to the Vancouver newspapers. Shareholders of the company at a recent meeting considered it expedient to change the name in view of the fact that copper predominates in sev- eral veins on the property, which is located in the vicinity of the George Copper, in the upper Bear River section.

CANTU COMPANY
 IS ORGANIZED

The Cantu Mining Company has been organized by Conrad Wolfe and associates to ex- ploit the promising Cantu Group of 21 claims on the east slope of Cantu Mountain, ac- cording to reports from Spo- kane this week.
 The company is capitalized at $1,O00,000 and includes in it's directorate Holger Johnson, E. D. Haddon and J. A. Hall of Hyder in addition to MT. Wolfe and number of prom inent Spokane parties.
 The reports state that MT. Wolfe will take personal charge of operations in the spring, at which time the Spo- kane directors also plan to visit the property. A compress sor and other equipment will be installed to- facilitate op- erations. The company also plans to further improve the private road constructed in earlier years by the Premier company and later improved by Portland interests repre- Sented by M. J. Lee, both of whom performed a small amount of development work on the property in addition to the road construction. The road will be placed in such shape that it may be used for transporting supplies and ore throughout the year. The com pany has acquired outright ownership of the property. which has been fully surveyed. and intends t9 apply for pat ents at an early date.

NEW COMPANY ID
 DEVELOP UNICORN

CIAS upper O8lnON DaSln IS pre- saged in an announcement from Seattle this week that a con- pany has been formed to take over and operate the property. News of the new development was made public by John Hov- land, local mining man, who is associated with Louis Watkins, of Hyder, in the ownership of the group, which comprises some of the oldest and most promising mineral locations in in the upper Salmon district.
 Associated with MT. Hovland and his partner in the new or ganization is H. l.. Batten, of Stewart and Batten, Vancouver mining and metallurgical en- gineers, and one of the most eminent of Canadian mining engineers.
 The company is capitalized for $1, 100000, divided into an equal number of shares of $1 par value. Five hundred thous- and shares of the capital stock have been allotted to Messrs. Hovland and Watkins as and for the purchase price of the property. The remaining 500,- 900 shares go into the treas ury for development purposes.
 The directorate at present in- cludes both MT Hovland and MT. Batten, the former also being president of the com pany. When making the an- nouncement MT. Hovland said there is every reason to believe that the company will be fi- nanced in the near future.
 The Unicorn, lies along the northeasterly border of the noted Big Missouri property and includes a block of ground about one third the area of the Big Missouri holdings. Like the latter property, the Unicorn is distinguished by the large number and extent of mineral showings, all of which are of the same general character as those found o n the Big Mis- souri. The group is also be- lieved to contain extensions of the spectacular free gold bear ing ore zone recently located on the Big Missouri.
 Work done on the property by Messrs. Hovland and Wat kins in earlier years has dem- onstrated in convincing manner the continuity of the various ore deposits, in addition to es- tablishing their geological re- lationship with the Big Mis- souri veins. Both by reason of it's own extensive mineralizat- ion and its proximity to the Big Missouri, the Unicorn is looked upon locally as one of the most promisi ng properties in the Portland Canal district.
 The group was at one time under the control of the Big Missouri Mining Company un- der an option agreement con- cluded in 1926 but no work was done and the bond was later allowed to lapse, al- though the Big Missouri man. agement is known to have held the property in high regard. It is also generally known that overtures for the acquisition of the Unicorn have been made in recent months by the Buena Vista Mining Company, suc- cessor of the Big Missouri com pany and present owner of the Big Missouri property.

JANUARY EXPORTS
 SHOW DECLINE

With mineral products valued at $705,190 leading the list and with fish products assum- ing second place for the first time in a long period, Alaska's exports during the month of January attained a total value of $1,455, ,651, according to the monthly statement of Collector of Customs J. c. Mcbride.
 Fish and fish products of all classes contributed a total of $484,845, as compared with $510,911 in January, 1928, and $802,933 in January, 1927. Furs and fur skins also showed a considerable decline, totaling $180,407, compared to $3O1,- 424 in January last year. AL though a majority of all furs showed a reduction, a falling off of nearly $93,OOO in blue fox shipments was the princi- pal factor in the decline of $121,017 in fur values. Live animals, including blue foxes valued at $500, contributed $7,145 to the total, as against $9,622 in January 1928, while miscellaneous exports, lnclud- ing stone and marble, lumber and trophies added $7,145, compared to similar exports totaling $8,44S in January last year.

STUDENTS IN CENTER ABROAD
Fund Is Praised In Germany for Work
Accomplished in Peace Efforts
Since World War.

In 1929 there were no fewer than
80 nations represented among the stu
dents. This peace instruction seeks to
impose no peace dogmas but stimulates
the student to reflect on political
realities. Occasionally we have heard
little too much with the eye on the
government.
Very worth while have been the Sum-
mer courses given under the auspices
of the Carnegie Endowment at the
Academy of International Law at The
Hague. In these courses the best all
round international information Is of
fered in the best international spirit.
Furthermore. the Carnegie Endowment
has founded profeSsorshipS in Paris

professorships are administered differ

lin professorship, which, having no

ment. In its endeavor to appeal to
public opinion by means Of the spoken
word, the European center has also
arranged special lectures, which are
held In its Paris building.
Strives for Understanding.
At the head of the list of speakers,
which contains distinguished names,
stands Brig. Gen. j. H. Morgan, for
merly British delegate at the Inter-Allied
Military Commission, which Germans
remember rather unpleasantly. He
talked about the problem OF security.
The lectures may have awakened a
strong local echo, but they aroused no
special interest in Europe or, indeed,
outside of Paris. Since January l, 1927,
the European center issues q quarterly
called LEsprit International (the Inter-

founder, Andrew Carnegie the steel king,
opinion may be divided. But 1t is as
serted that he was always an honest
friend of peace. At any rate, before
1910, in which year he gave $4,000, 900

had been active as friend Of peace. es-

It Is the purpose of the endowments to
serve the cause of peace among peoples,
to hasten the elimination OF war be-
tween peoples, to promote and further
the peaceful solution Of international
conflicts. In this spirit and with good
success, the Carnegie Endowment has
functioned since its foundation. Since
1911 the endowment has been active
In Europe. On March Is, 1912, its
European center in Paris was opened

After the close of hostilities in No.
vember, 1918, 1t applied itself exclusively
at first to a relief of certain war con-
ditions. In this way the libraries Of
Rheims, Louvain and Belgrade were re-
habilitated with Carnegie money. Not
until 1925 did the European center Of
the Carnegie Endowment begin again
to function with a truly international
spirit. DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University. who
was already American director of the
Carnegie Endowment. took over the
position of director d'EstournelleS. DR..
Earle B. Babcock became his assistant.
From this point dates the actual Euro

OTTAWA, ontario. July 6.--That r
B. Benefits imperial trade policy is
that of a British zollverein against the
rest of the world, is the opinion ex-
pressed in some quarters in the capital
with reference to recent speeches of the
Conservative leader.
The present governments policy has
in mind the development of trade
within the empire by the increase OF
British preferences. by the lowering OF
tariffs on British goods. Only in spe-
cific cases. where circumstances war
rant, would tariffs be increased. The
Conservative policy is believed to pro-
vide for imperial preferences as they
stand at present, but an increase in the
differential by raising the tariff against
the United States and other foreign
countries.
Such a policy, it is now pointed out
In some quarters, could get no support
from the present British government
Philip Snowden, British chancellor of
the exchequer, is unalterably opposed
to protection and David Lloyd George
has since the election declared that the
popular vote in Great Britain was
5000 900 against protection.
In 1926 European customs union
was suggested by nnanclal ana m0uS-
trial interests representing all the con-
tinental countries, a conference being
held in Berlin. This zollverein was d.
rectly leveled against the United
States. It did not materialize.
In certain circles 1t is claimed that
q British Zollverein, with British tar
ifs throughout the empire directed
against the rest of the world, would
put the British people under the same
suspicion which has aroused antagonism
in many countries toward the United
States.
Some years ago. under the McKenna
duties, tariffs were put on foreign
automobiles. This almost killed the
Canadian trade in automobiles to Great
Britain. The Macdonald government
came into power and Mr.. Snowden gave
Canada a preference of 33h per cent
in the duty on automobiles. The Other
1924 per cent was sufIicient to greatly
affect Canada's trade with Britain ir
automobiles.
Australia is believed to be the only
country within the empire which would
approve of higher tariffs. A British
commission which visited Australia
