MAYO DISTRICT PRODUCED
 $4,ooo.ooo DURING YEAR 1923

$4,00o.o0o DURING YEAR 1929
 The Mayo district shipped out 8,20O tons of concentrates and high-grade galena ore during the 1929 season, having valuation of approximately $4,OOO,OOO, according to Charles L. Settlemeier, newspaper man and miner, who passed through Juneau recently en route to the States. Set tlemeier is one of the owners of the Dawson News, but during recent years he has devoted his whole time to the development of his galena properties in the Mayo district. He travelled from Mayo to Whitehorse by air, making the journef in less than two hours. In the old days the trip required three weeks mith dog team and it is a six-daf journey mith mo- tor vehicles, nom the popular mode of travel
 The Mayo district is making pro- gress rapidly and steadily, MT. Set tlemeler said. ( onsiderable headmav las been male in development pro- grams affecting old discoveries, two or three new rich strikes have been made, and the production of ore was heavier during the year than ever be- fore.
 Two-thirds of the 9,2OO tons shipped during the year vas concen- trates, averaging between $500 and $500 per ton, and the rest was raw ore that averaged about $2o0 per ton.
 Next year it is expected the pro- duct will reach 10000 tons. If it is desired and conditions gre favorable, it is estimated that the tonnage can be raised to 2O,OOD tons in 1881, Mr. Settieme5er said.
 Development work on both Keno Hill and Galena Hill was pressed rap idly during the season. On the lat ter ground the Trea4weH Yukon Con- pany operated three large camps, with successful resultts. In addition it constructed 20 miles of road, link. ing the three camps together with the home camp on Keno Hill It ex- pended $80,0O0 in this construction. The road permits year-round opera ton of caterpillars and tractors, by which supplies and stores are trans- ported.
 i The camps on Galena Hill cover . front eight miles lang. Each is equipped with . diesel power plant ! and each is connected with the main power plant at Keno.
 The company continues to mine l! and mill rich orc on Keno Hill. The Lucky Queen group, a mile above the 1 Sadie, noted for it's richness, rivals the latter both in value of the ore and the size of the vein, Mir. Settlemeier :. said. ! The Treadwell Yukon has plans perfected for new 250-ton. mill on Galena Hill, which it is expected to construct some time in the near fu- ture, it was asserted. However, 1t will not be installed before the prin- cipal metallurgical problems have bean woked out.

Spirits.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

BY Gable to The Star. -
LONDON, January 22.-From one
end of London to the other the opinion
is that the Naval Conference got of
to a most suspicious start. In all the
delegations grateful Sighs Of relief are
audible over the fact that yesterdays
formal opening passed into history
without a single disturbing suggestion
from any quarter. The good temper
and good will essential to ironing out
the conferences innumerable difficulties
were manifest In the speeches Of every
chief delegate.
If there was any other thing resem-
bling bombshell 1t was Secretary
StimsonS declaration that the Amer.
lean delegation has come to London for
business and Is ready to stay here until
the business is done. His ensuing
assertion, "our peoples demand Of us
a success" meaning all the peoples rep
resented at the conference, makes a
deep impression. It Is echoed with
particular fervency in the. British
press. even in blue water" Of the big
navy school. hiterto more or less
lukewarm toward the conference.
Secretary Stimson has now practically
assumed the responsibility for such
driving force as may be necessary to
produce results.
His conference colleagues seem to have
no doubt but that he win supply 1t.
American zeal for success was
promptly exemplified in last nights
private meeting between Secretary
Stimson and Ambassador Morrow with
Prime Minister Macdonald, Foreign
Minister Henderson, Premier Tardieu
and M. BRAND. The meeting was held
on premises whereof much Is likely to
be heard during the next few weeks.
Unbeknown to conference officials
generally, Keith Merrill, diplomatic Of
ficer of the State Department at WASH
ington, in charge of the building pro-
gram for foreign embassies, legations
and consulates, quietly arrived at Lon
don ahead of the American delegation.
