 Among the mineral. products. that entered less largely into the. Alaska mineral industry in 1929 may be mentioned tin, petroleum. platinum metals, marble, limestone for cement, and quicksilver.

 dredges produced gold to the value of $2,932,0OO. They are estimated to have handled about 8,709,600 cubic yards. Two new dredges were built during the year and three old dredges that had been idle during 1928 were again active.
 The output of copper in 1929 was nearly 911,0O0 pounds less than in 1928, though because of the increased selling price its value was $1, 1,165 ,00O greater than in the earlier year. Prac- tically the whole of the Alaska cop tically the whole of the Alaska cop per comes from those mines operated by the Kennecott Copper Corporation. two of which are n the Copper River region and one on Latouche Island, in Prince William Sound. The ore from the properties in the Copper River region is largely high-grade copper sulphide and carbonate; that from Latouche Island sa low-grade copper-iron sulphide. All the Alaska copper ore is shipped to the States for smelting.
 None of the Alaska ores are mined solely for their silver content, but considerable silver is recovered from the ores of gold and copper as minor constituent. In 1929 silver to the value of $187,4O0 was recovered from the copper ores, $50,300 from the gold lode ores, and $14, 300 from the placer gold; the total was 472,90O ounces, having value of $252 ,OOO. This marks slight falling off in value fro m1928, which is attributable to the lower selling price of silver, for the quantity from all sources was more than 18,OOO ounces in 1929.
 The lead produced from Alaska ores in 1929 amounted to 2,630,000 pounds, which at the average selling price of lead for the year was worth $165 ,000. This marks the largest out put and highest value for the lead production from Alaska since this metal was first produced in the Ter ritory. Most of the lead was recoy- cred as a by-product in connection with the mining of gold ores n South eastern Alaska.
 Coal to the value of $528,00 was produced from Alaska mines in 1929, principally in the Matanuska and Healy River fields. This was a de- crease from the high mark attained in 1928, but has been exceeded in only three years in the entire period that coal mining has Fbee min progress.

SENATE MUST FACE YELLOW OOG ~
SAYS BORAH, FIGHTING JUDGE EV p,S ~

Washington, D. C. -(FP)-No
fine-drawn technicalities of argu-
ment can save the Senate from
disclosing it's own attitude toward
the yellow dog contract of en-
ployment, Sen. Borah warned that
body as he concluded his speech
against confirmation of Judge
John ]. Parker, April 10Th. The
Idaho lawyer had analysed the
Red Jacket Coal case, in which
Parker upheld the injunction Sc
cured by 300 West Virginia coal
operators against the United Mine
Workers of America. He showed
that Parker, in that decision, had
followed the main lines of the
early Hitchman Coal decision, but
had ignored the later ruling of the
Supreme Court in the Tri-Cities-
Steel Foundries case which clearly
upheld the right of peaceful per-
suasion. Borah showed that Hoo
ver's nominee for the Supreme
Court had given the first and only
decision forbidding peaceful per-
suasion Of workers to join a labor
union.

he declared, 81 for one would not
cast my vote to place upon the

contract. If the Senate gives its
