B. [. SILVER ORE RESERVES MOUNT
 INTO MILLIONS

With sixten feet of ore yield ing average assays of thirty dollars ton in crOsscut 621 on the sixth level, in addition to several large and highly valu- able ore bodies previously To- cated in other sections of the same area, the known ore de- posits in the B. c. Silver prop erty have an aggregate value running we'll into millions of dollars, according to unoffic- ial but reliable information. It is said that the mine officials themselves estimate the prob able total value of the ore bod ies so far revealed at close to $10,00O,000. This is in full accord with an announcement made earlier in the year by c. A. Banks, general manager, to the effect that the ore values known to exist at that time were estimated at approxi- mately six million dollars.
 Although the company gives out no information locally, it is matter of common knowledge that the area now being ex- plored contains various exten- sions of the rich ore bodies found on the adjoining Simpson claim of the Premier Gold Min ing Go. and that several so far encountered display every in- dication of yielding very large tonnages of commercial ore.
 Ore developed during the past few weeks is alone esti- mated to be worth close to a million dollars.
 A cable report from the mine to the home office of the Se- lukwe Company dated Septem- Der 12 reports late develop ments as follows:
 Sixth level: 621 crosscut, southeast off drift 633 at Stat ion COP, plus TIT feet. Sulphide zone at 17 to 32 feet from drift. Average of assays is dollars thirty"
 A subjoined office note says: This body of ore is opposite the Premier workings.

 BEARING ON LOCAL
 MINING ACTIVITIES

A large body of ore found recently on the Flasher proper ty and carrying quantities of chalcopyrite is attracting con siderable interest among the miners of the Texas creek dist rict.
 The zone is made up mainly of a crystalline white quartz, banded with gray material of slaty appearance and bears no resemblance to other ores found in the same locality. Where exposed along the hill- side, the zone is about 40 feet wide, as determined by a cut across the face, and is visible over a length of about TO feet.
 The zone lies between the granite and what appears to be porphyry zone and strikes northwest-southeast. Although the ore appears promising on the surface, no work has been done and values are not deter mined.

ALASKA MINE FATALITIES SHOW
 VERY LOW RATE

AAoL ItiO IAOAAAOOL VI lACu hIi1GO per 1000 workers in the min- ing industry of Alaska is near ly 30 per cent less than among mine workers throughout the United States is disclosed by a report of D. B. Stewart, super vising mining engineer, on the cooperation between the Terri tory of Alaska and the United States in mining investigat- ions and the inspection of mines.
 The fatality statistics pre- sented by MT. Stewart cover a period of 15 years, ending with the year 1927. During this per iod the total number of men killed in all Alaska mines was only 232. Of this number 164 were killed prior to 1921, and 68 were killed after that year. The average annual fatality rate for the entire period was only 3.48 men killed for each 1000 full time or "30O-day" workers. Figures covering the two halves of the indicated period show that the average fatality rate for the first half was 3.93 and for the last half 2.77, a reduction of 30 per cent. The marked improvement in the latter period is ascribed by MT. Stewart as due in large degree to safety activi- ties inaugurated by the mine operators and to the mine saf- ety service maintained in the Territory by the U. s. Bureau or Mines.
 The most striking features of the fatality records are the ex- ceptionally low rate for coal miners and the very high rate for gold-lode mines. In view of the natural hazards that coal mines re usually thought to possess, the record made at the Alaska coal mines of not a single fatality during the per iod of seven years ending with 1925, although the mines were operated with an average crew of POT full-time workers, is re- markable.
 Records covering the period from 1921 to 1927, inclusive, show 69 per cent of all fatali- ties occurred underground and 31 per cent on the surface and in and about milling plants. Comparison of fatality rates at the different types of mines discloses that the average fa- tality rate per 1000 "300-day" workers for all types of mining was 2.77 For all lode mines the average was 4.37, while for gold quartz mines alone the average was $50 per 1000 full time workers and the aver age for the copper mining group was 2.89.
 Placer mining, owing to the materially lower hazards in- volved, achieved the lowest record during the indicated period with an average of on- ly 1.08 per 1000 full time workers. Corresponding fatal ity rates for similar mines throughout the United States from 1911 to 1919, inclusive, show the lowest average for all mines t o have been 3.97, with a highest rate of 4.92. For lode gold mines the lowest rate was 3.83 and the highest 4.97.
 The copper mines showed a low of 3.45 and a high of 5.18

Negotiations looking to the transfer of the interest of of George Lemmons in the prom ising Marietta group, on Tex as creek, to outside interests have been virtually completed and await only the final ratifi- cation of the purchasers, ac- cording to information made public during the past week.
 The purchasing interests were represented by Walter Haxz ems, mining engineer, who ar rived from Seattle last week in company with Oliver Thorn ton. MT. Thornton is a brother of Larry Thornton, we'll known local prospector who is associ- ated with MT. Lemmons in the ownership of the Marietta property.
 Questioned by a Herald rep resentative regarding the deal, MT. Lemmons refused to com ment, other than to say that he did not care to make a definite statement ,as the deal was not fully concluded and must be approved by the outside purch- asers before becoming assured.
 It is understood that a trans fer of the interest will involve total payment of $10,0OO, none of which has yet been paid.
 The August progress report of the Premier Border company the Northern Light property reports late developments as follows:
 l The main Premier Border tun- nel being projected on North ern Light property was at the end of August in TAP feet. The months driving footage amounted to 220 feet in the main tunnel, with side swip- ing equivalent to ten feet of driving, making monthly footage of 230 feet. This tun- nel is being projected in one of the Premier quartz-porphyry sills which has produced the ore bodies of the district. Gold and silver values have persist ed throughout the month s footage with spot assays of $6.06 in gold and silver. Occas- ional bands of tuffs and silici- fled greensboro have occurred in conjunction with the DOT phyry and in the face of the tunnel on August 31 some col cred tufts appeared.

Alaska on conservation of Co.,
 Iumbia River Salmon

1n1S ODJeCC1On IS not perC1- nent because the closure of the first three months of each year here will not help the Co., lumbia River waters but remain here and will be caught in April How then can such a ruling help Columbia River? The clos ure seems only to be a device to penalize the resident Alaskan and would undoubtedly encOur- age others to desert these wa terS during the winter months and to build their homes else where.
 g.. Waste due to catching inn
 mature fish.
 Mr. O'Malley here makes a point Supporting our proposal by showing that immature fish should not be caught lie also misses the point in speaking about "silver salmon" which double their weight "during the summer just preceding their spawning.
 No silver salmon arc caught by us during January, February and March. We cannot accept conclusions based on eXperi- mentS with silver salmon in the summertime just before spawn ing for two reasOns-We are not dealing with salmon about to spawn. We catch fish (king Salmon) that come in from the ocean to feed and not to spawn.
 We have even anticipated MT. O'Malley for our proposal was to save the immature fish for the entire year, whereas his closure rule would have had no bearing in this matter at all. Rather we, the resident fisher men of Alaska are being told to keep our hands off until the non-residents can get here in April and all of us would catch both the mature and immature fe1 +bo ho1opoo Of tha wear

 fOrmance which is only inter rupted by the legal closed sea- son. This is not so for the sal mon we catch (king salmon) is not a spawn fish but a feeding fish at the time we catch them in areas now open to trolling. Also there is already an ample closed season both by legal force and natural causes.
 78 days of "A hours are now closed on account of the week ly closing now in effect.
 An average of 1 day per week in addition to the above is lost on account of bad weather.
 Those trollers who take their own fish to the market lose three days out of every ten, and as 75 per cent of the trollers do so, this amounts to an addi- tiOnal average net loss of 73 days.
 Repairs to engine and boat for 15 days more.
 Every night increases the pro- lection of king salmon.
 Travel from one fishing ground to another is unavoid- able.
 From all of the above, we cal- culate that the average trolling year is one of only 167 eight hour days, and to decrease this by the proposed substitute would be unjust
 We also would point out that such ruling would be ineffect- i've for this reasOn-fishermen carry ice, and during this peri cd, need only fish outside the three-mile limit, come in dur ing the legal period, and no one can tell the legal from the il- legal fish.
 6. Need for restriction.
 We are in favor of every re- gulation that would conserve the king salmon. We maintain

age of immature fish caught.
 We respectfully pass over this subject because from the argu- ment itself Git mentions the months of May, June, July, and Augusta it has no bearing on the three months of Janu- ary, February and March.
 It is also nothing more than guess for the Commissioner says: If the same thing applies in the Alaska troll fishery" We insist that a ruling that so se- riously affects the welfare of such a large body of resident Alaskans should be based on something stronger than con- lecture.
 ). Other possible substitutes for
 the present regulation
 The first paragraph under this heading deserves the great est consideration because it is true, namely, that it is a ruling that affects only those trollers who reside in Alaska all the year round. Under it, they are forbidden to catch king salmon to enable them to eke out an ex- jstence in Alaska. To make matters worse, the very salmon which they are forbidden to take will be caught by the hundreds of nonresident fishermen who come to Alaskan waters in April.
 MT. O'Malley has proposed substitute schemes to replace the regulation now under dis cussion possibly to get our ideas; First, to increase the weekly closed period to sixty hours, se- condly, to reduce the number of lines from six to four.
 Regarding his first substitute proposal. He proposes to lengthen the closed period each week enough to make up the three months closure against
