of more than $11, 100000 has been written off to depletion and depreciation. Conservative accounting, of course-but one wonders what will happen in another 212 years, when the whole capital value will have been written off. Perhaps those assets will require to be re-val- ued again, for, mark you, that valuation of S14,000,000 just a few years ago was not a "cost' figure, but itself a revaluation.
 " Newsjajer editors have con- ducted something of a wake" when commenting on the fact that this year Premier has had to dig into Reserves to main tain its present dividend. True but it has been doing exactly the same thing for many years, to be exact, to the extent, up to the end of 1928, of almost $6,- GOO, ,0CO, CT nearly nine times the amount of approximately $750,Co0 appropriated from reserves for dividend payments in 1929.
 "Assuming that the produce i've history of Premier has been just about 10 years (including 1929) it will be seen that ap- proximately S675,000 per an mum in dividends has been paid out of Capital Reserves. " From reports before us, we find that $SO3,00O was so ap- rropriated in 1926; S769,OOO in 1927; S404,OO0 in 1928 l; S75O,0O0 in 1929. Not a bad record for 1929 when the company received five cents per ounce less for its silver pro- duCtion than in 1928.
 Any commercial or industrial company might be severely criticized for paying any divi- dends out of capital. However in mining practice, admittedly operating in and with wasting assets, the matter is far differ ent. When conservative mana cement sets up a reserve fund of a million and a quarter a year for depletion, it is perfect ly sound policy to pay out $500,000 or $750,000 in divi- dends-correctly designate such

 That is just what Premier has done to the extent of S5,- 740,829 out of total dividend disbursements Cup to Dec. 31, 1929) of $14,263,117.
 "Isn't it just too bad that Pre- mier has to dig into capital to maintain it's dividend rate?
 We find that S128,O0O was charged to Depletion Account in 1929 which should have been charged in 1928. There fore, after making appropriate adjustment, it is perfectly clear that Premier's NET PROFIT AFTER DEPLETION for 1923 was only $!80,oo0 less than for 1928, of which $120.000 was due to the recession in market price of silver.

HAIL A HARDY MARINER

Many people have congratulated Captain Heinie Berger and his good ship Dscoyerer on HIS new tracts for carrying the United States mail along the highways and byways from the Port of Seward, Cook Inlet to Anchorage, but wondering whether Captain Berger should be commiserated with and the people he is to serve congratulated
 Cap" has certainly picked out nice bed of roses for himself He has picked out the toughest seas this slde of Cape Horn and he proposes to make regular trips that the far dWelers may keep in touch with the world and know that there is still U s. "A He is stalk ing his life and his vessel against some government money, 1t is true but if you know Cap you will know there IS something behind it. He is going into it because he loves the game and the hazds and because he IS doing real service for people who really need
 -a service that IS given with smile and heartiness that mask the real dangers and hardships that lay fore and aft, to starboard and to larboard
 Captaln Berger isn't just ordinary mail car rer tie spells transportation to the outlying places with capital TT, and he has done more to improve the morale of the isolated communities of Cook Inlet and the lLamna country than any individual in recent years
 He has done this because he will 20 long ways out of hls way to do service not strictly called for in the letter of his contract and for that reason the people of the Inlet have to rely Oh him for extra ordinary performance His weakness in saying No' has cost hn a lot 0f trouble and money too and he nearly lost his boat trying to do favor but he cones up smiling and ready to tackle it again
 And he has gone farther than that He has improv- eu Ills sp untl It IS of the staunchest vessels H the northern waters; and he knows how to run it AlS ldo tStdDHSHeQ contacts With towns districts which insure the inhabitants thereof that at such and such time they can their mail, their goods or themselves whither they might go.
 Many towns of Cook Inlet and the people of the H. lamsa had tough time thru the past few years because of lack of service and they have frequently been cut of from the outside world for months at time Cap- tain Berger has changed that IF and his ship have been great asset to all concerne<
 The Gateway is sincerely pleased and thankful that Caps contracts call for his smile and service in our midst for four years and then More power to the hardy mariner.

BAYARD LOHR'S BARN IN
NORTH GLADE BURNED
Comparatively New Building En-
tirely Consumed Sunday Night

Bayard Lohr, an overseas veteran
who has been a semi-invalid since his
return from the army, suffered Sc
we're loss Monday morning about one
o'clock when his barn, located on his
farm in the North Glade section of
the county was consumed by fire of
undetermined origin, but it has been
presumed by Mr.. Lohr's neighbors
that the fire was the work of an in
cendiary.
When the fire was discovered by
Mrs. Lohr it was practically destroyed
as the roof was then falling in. In
addition to the loss of the structure,
which was erected about two years
ago, a calf, some hay, harness and a
few pieces of farm machinery were in
the building, which were also burned.
