Prophets of an early spring are finding confirmation of their theory in the recent ap- pearance of a large flock of small birds of the linnet type which frolic daily along the slopes of Eagle Point and on the adjacent tideflats. It is also pointed out that two wild ducks have lately been disport- ing themselves. in the creek be- tween First and Second Ave nues. The birds have become so used to the presence of human beings tha t they ap- pear to scarcely notice people passing along the board walk a dozen yards from the creek.

NEWSY JOTT|NGS BEARING ON LOCAL
 MINING ACTIVITIES

Recent developments at the Georgia River Gold property are said to indicate that the rich vein of ore encountered in the No. 5 tunnel during the first part of the year and from which high gold values were obtained, has no connection with the Southwest vein, one of the principal ore exposures, of which it was formerly believed to be a part. The vein is now thought to be the lower exten- sion of a vein the surface out. crops of which appear in a creek channel between the Southwest vein and the prom inent Bullion vein.
 Assays obtained from the vein in January~are said to have ranged in some instances to more than $43 per ton, al- though the average is about $11. The values are almost en- tirely in gold.

 MT. Beaton was accompanied by his daughter, Mrs c. Austin, and her husband. MT. Austin remained here to take charge of the company's beach camp, formerly held by the deceased MT. Beaton. The widow and infant child of the deceased accompanied MT. Beaton and Mrs. Austin back to Vancou- yer, where the last rites for the unfortunate young man will be held.

CURIOS ITEMS IN
 ALASKA COMMERCE

Alaska's annual exports in. clude as curious an array of products as may be found in the shipping records of any country in the world.
 In addition to the many mil lions of dollars worth of miner tls, fish and fish products and furs sent annually into the commerce lanes of the United States, customs records dis close the export of such unique products as seal bones, whale tail, walrus hides, reindeer horns and hides, as well as large quantities of reindeer meat. Other interesting ex- ports include, sheep wool ivory, whale oil, fresh milk and cream, paintings, wood pulp, whale fertilizer, whale meal and whalebone, paint ings, wood pulp, reindeer of fal, live animals, hairseal skins, ourios, game specimens and trophies, vegetables, coal, mo- hair and various others. The aggregate value of these cur ious commodities amounted to $40, ,228. The leading item on the list in point of value was whale oil and the second was wool.
 Although Alaska may seem to the uninitiated to be far removed from the popular con- ception of a sheep raising country, the Territory last year exported sheep wool valued al S47,025, while the aggregate value of wool shipments since the inauguration of the wool raising industry in 1924 ap- proximates $105,000. The in- dustry is still in it's infancy but it's growth is we'll examplified by an increase of wool exports from a few hundred pounds in 1926 to 89, pounds last year and total exports of about 220,000 pounds to date.
 Of the valuable group of products resulting from the whaling industry, whale fertil- izeI is 2. ecdi.g item and sec ond only to whale oil, of which. hundreds of thousands of gal Ions are exported annually. Shipments of oil last year to- tailed 948,376 gallons, valued at $375,330. Whale fertilizer exports in 1929 amounted to 945 tons, with a value of S31,- T5S. Shipments for the past four years aggregated S115,- POT in value.
 Despite the almost complete almost complete abandonment of whalebone stays by the fair sex, whale bone continues to be an important item on the list of Alaska's curious exports. Shipments amounting to to- al of 9,326 pounds, valued at SIP, ,703 were made during the past three years. Walrus ivory also form sa quaint and valu- able product with shipments totaling 42,539 pounds, valued at $43,117 since 1924.
 Curios as it may seem, paint ings of Alaska scenes form one of the mot prominent items on the list. Last year they attained a total value of $18,122, whilo the total for the past three years, embracing 122 paintings, was $36,447.

HIGHWAY PROJECT
 RECEIVES BIG BOOST

The annual convention of the International Road Builder8' Association, with more than 1000 delegates from 32 coun- tries in attendance, recently passed a resolution urging a joint appropriation by the Can adian and American govern ments of S5,000,000 for the completion of a road across the 1000 mile gap from Hazleton, B. c. to Fairbanks, Alaska on the proposed Pacific Yukon Highway.
 The action of the convention is considered the biggest boost the great Highway project has received since it's inception by Donald Macdonald.
 A committee composed of in fluential Seattle and Alaska business men has also been or ganized in Seattle to further the interest of the Highway and to study the financing and construction problems on both sides of t h international boundary line, for the purpose of working out plans and pro- viding ways and means for the accomplishment of the project.

Premier reached record low level of $1.29 on the Vancouv- CT Stock Exchange this week, despite the fact that the mine is on a solid productive basis, with several years ore reserves
 n sight and is giving returns of over 16 per cent on the invest ment. In addition the comp any is fast bringing the noted Prosperity and Porter Idaho properties into regular pro- duction, thereby further en- hancing it's future productive prospects. Why, under such conditions the stock should go down to such low levels is diff ficult to understand. With ev- cry condition favorable to an increase of the company share value, the stock has continued to show a downward tendency for months that is in no degree explained by the general stock market depression.
 In addition to being one of the most spectacular dividend payers in mining history, the Premier is the acknowledged leader among the Canadian gold mining companies with respect to return on the invest mcnt. No other gold property in the Dominion pays returns comparable to those of Pre- mier. Dome pays but 12 per cent, Hollinger, 11.3 per cent, Teck-Hughes, 9.6, Mcintyre, 5.5, Lake Shore, 4 per cent. Earlier returns on the Premier investment have ranged much higher than at present. From 1923 to 1927 the return was better than 30 per cent, while the highest was 55 per cent in 1922.

An army of $50 volunteers aided the

residents for the 1890 census.
Figures were not available, but prior
to the start of the roundup social
workers said lodging houses of the Sec
ton have combined capacity of more
than $4,000 beds.
It was the first time so elaborate an
attempt ever was made to enumerate
the Bowery's population. The difficulty
in listing the residents is due to the
fact that they stay at different lodg-
ing house each night, making it almost
impossible to get an accurate count.
