STEWART MAN VICTIM
 OF STABBING AFFRAY

George R. Macdonald, mana ger of the Marmot Hotel in Stewart, sustained eleven cuts on the back and shoulders dur ing an altercation with Arvid Gullsten in the hotel late We'd nesday evening but escaped without serious injury, owing doubtless to the knife or other instrument yielded by his as- sailant being too small or too dull to inflict more serious damage. A small pearl hand- led pocket knife found in Gull stems coat pocket when he was arrested is believed to have been the weapon.
 Evidence given at a hearing before magistrate J. P. Scar lett disclosed that Gullsten and John Hakala, both Finlanders, had gone to a room in the ho- tel occupied by Axel Lasella, another Finn, after a round of the beer parlors. Becoming too noisy, Macdonald went to the room to ascertain the trouble and was severely abused by Gullsten when he requested him to leave the premises. A struggle ensued in which Mac Donald was slashed as indicat- ed, both his clothing and per son showing evidence of the action of some sharp instru- ment. Constable Potterton heard the commotion and ar rested Gullsten and Hakala, whom he found fighting in the hallway, W t h Macdonald ,tanding by pale and out of breath.
 Magistrate Searlett found the accused guilty of unlawful wounding and sentenced him to serve nine months at hard labor.

hancement of the price of the metal through its larger use in the arts. They specifically suggested quantity production in sterling silver of many small articles in general use and their sale at popular prices through department Y stores, jewelry shops, and other agen- cies able to retail such goods in larger silver producers to man. that company should be or ganized and financed by the large rsilver producers to man.. ufacture the wares in question and to supply them to the re-
 tail trade, expressing confi- dence that if such action were taken, the consumption of sil- yer would so increase as to stabilize it's price in the United States at a figure remunerative to producers of that metal.
 It now appears that action along this line may soon event uate. There is a movement on foot among the bigger silver producers to organize just such a company. Through it they plan the manufacture in sterl- ing silver and in enormous quantities of many articles now in general use, such as com i pacts and belt buckles, at pres ent made of cheap metals
 These articles, as now made, have no salvage value whatev- CT in case of -defacement ol breakage, yet they usually re. t.ail at prices sufficiently high to warrant replacement of the base metal of which they arc stamped with sterling silver. Il

STEWART MEN FIRE
 ACCIDENT VICTIMS

Victims of one of the costliest fires in the history of Stewart early Wednesday morning, David Johnson, aged about 35 years, is dead, and CIV. Smith, one of Stewards leading busi- ness men, is in the hospital as a result of a severe shaking up received in jumping from d window in the burning build ing of the Universal Supply Company, of which he was manager. sThe building and most of it's contents, consisting mainly of hardware and house furnishings, w a S destroyed with a loss of approximately $21, ,000, of which $14,000 is covered by insurance. A small adjoining building occupied by the Curtis shope repair shop was also destroyed with a portion of its contents. The intense heat from the burning buildings also caused consider able damage to paint and win dow glass in adjacent build ings and a general conflagrat- ion was averted only by the providential absence of wind and the heroic efforts of vol unteer fire fighters.
 Johnson met death through leaping or falling headfirst through an upper story win dow to the sidewalk about 12 feet below. He landed on his head, the impact causing a fracture of his spinal column from the effects of which he died in the hospital about "A hours later. Evidence given at the inquest indicated Johnson, who was diamond driller and a recent arrival, went into the building to assist in salvage work but apparently become frightened and leaped from the window in panic, although the stairway was clear of fire. MT. Smith could also have es- capped by the stairway and ap- parently was stampeded into jumping by the urgings of peo- ple in the street, who spread a mattress to break his fall.
 The exact cause of the fire has not been determined. The blaze was discovered by a passer-by about 3:10 a. m. MT. Smith, who resided on the upper floor, was aroused short ly after and came out of the building but went back again to see what could be saved. AS far as known the fire started ins the ceiling near the rear of the main store where it ad- 1 joins the warehouse and is gen. orally attributed to defective wiring.

SAVERS DEATH
 DUE TO STROKE

Frank E. Savers, deputy U. s. marshal at Ketchikan, who met h S death there re- gently when he drove his car off a dock into the harbor, was the victim of an apoplectic stroke, according to the find ings of a coroner's inquest in the First City a few days after the accident. The car driven by Savers dived at high speed from the Alaska Steamship dock into the bay and the body was not recovered for 24 hours after the fatality.
 Medical testimony at the inquest disclosed that Savers had been suffering with high blood pressure and extreme hardening of the arteries and that the condition of the body indicated that he had suffered a stroke of paralysis which in- icapaciated his left side and caused the car to develop high speed owing to the weight of his foot and leg on the accel- orator. At the same time his mental condition was such that he was unable to remove his foot or stop the car, which was hurled over the guardrail and into the water. A fracture found at the base of Savers skull also indicated that death was actually due to that cause. This in turn was believed to have been the result of the car crashing into the guard rail or the fall into the water. No water was found in the lungs and all evidences indicated that death was practically in stantaneous.

SILVER TARIFF TO
 HELP INDUSTRY

iS IeCeHt pdSSaBS Dy CHe U, $. Senate of an amendment by Senator Pittman imposing a duty of 30 cents per ounce on silver contained in silver-bear- ing ore has given rise to much local speculation as to the probable benefits to be de- rived by the American silver mining industry from such an enactment.
 To give complete answer to the query would necessitate considerable study and investi- gation, particularly with re- spect to the future possibilities.
 It ma y be said with reason able certainty, however, that for the present the tariff is hardly likely to produce any material effects on either sill yer production or the price of that metal in the United States. Foreign silver producers who have been accustomed to mar ket their silver in the United States are likely to feel the eff fects of such a duty far more than those of this country.
 The present silver production of the United States is consid- erably greater than the domes- tic consumption and there is a considerable remainder avail able for export. Quantities of outside silver and also consid- erable amounts of refined sil- yer are received in this country annually but not as direct inn portations to meet local de- mands for the metal, as we produce from local mines. con- siderably more than we need. Most of the silver-bearing ore comes into the country in the form of shipments to American smelters for reduction, as in the case of the ores from the Mayo district, which are sent to Kellogg, Idaho, as the most available market. After being refined this silver naturally re- mains in n'the country and has the effect of further increasing the normal silver surplus but has no other effect on the do- mestic silver market. It also ap- pears from the data at hand that the amount of refined sil- yer produced from outside ore is relatively small as compared to the domestic production and actually affects the local in- dustry in no more than a slight degree. Therefore it is difficult to see in what way the tariff will produce any pronounced effect on the industry or mark ct under present conditions.
 On the other hand it appears that in the event of the propos- al to manufacture and market surplus silver becoming a real ity the duty would be highly beneficial, as it would have the effect of shutting out foreign silver and preventing competit. ion of foreign metal in the new market and also would permit an increased price for the do. mestic product. This could not be accomplished without a pro. tective tariff to prevent an in. Aux of cheaper silver.

GRAND IGLOO URGES
 NEW LEGISLATION

Four highly commendable and progressive resolutions, includ- ingan endorsement of the Pa cific- -Yukon-Alaska Highway were passed by the Grand Ig- loo of the Pioneers of Alaska at the annual convention held in Anchorage a few days ago, according to press reports.
 The first resolution passed dealt with the need for a com munity property law in Alaska, ''declaring that women are en- titled to equal protection with the men, and urged the adopt ion of such law at the next session of the Territorial Legis- lature; the same to be modelled on that of the state of Wash ington.
 The second resolution urged the amendment, revision and qualification of the Territorial election laws, declaring that present laws, through many changes, amendments and ap- peals, have become a mystery to the voter, a puzzle to the election judges, are vague and contradictory; fail as a guide to the honest voter and do not constitute a menace to the dis honest one.
 The resolution pertaining to the highway project declares in part that no advertising could be given Alaska compar- able to the actual experience and personal contact of an auto trip through the Territory, such as would become possible by means of the proposed high way. The resolution further declared that the project is en- tirely feasible and requires no stretch of the imagination to see accomplished. Copies were ordered sent to president Hoover, governor Parks and the heads of the governments of Canada and British Colum- bia.
 The fourth resolution aims to increase the Territorial allow ance for old pioneers, declares that the present allowance is insufficient to support those who have become enfeebled in the work of exploring and de- veloping the Territory; that allowances are designed as a substitute for the maintenance of the old-timers at the pion- eers' Home at Sitka and should be increased sufficiently to provide for their support.
 Grand Igloo elections for the ensuing year included the fol lowing:
 Grand President, Cal. M. Bro- sius of Seward; first grand vi c e-president, Herman L. Gentsch, of Anchorage; second grand vice president, Wm Jarman, of Juneau; grand sec, 1 retary, Geo. J.

BRIGHTER DAYS FOR
 SILVER IN SIGHT

cussion of the silver situation ! and the measures now under consideration aimed at restor- ing the white metal to a plane of increased value and useful ness is from the Paulsen, Pfeff- CT and Porter, Inc. mining bull etin.
 'The price of silver, long one of the chief anxieties of states men and politicians, has re- gently become the cause of most acute distress and worry to producers of that metal and, incidentally, to substantially all investors in mining securi- ties. No phase of the current decline in metal prices, which has now extended over a per iod of several months, has more seriously affected the earnings of so many mining operations or the incomes of so many stockholders and investors as has the slump in silver from around 60 cents to approXi- mately 40 cents an ounce.
 The suddenness and violence of the downward movement in the price of the white metal took almost everybody by sur prise, though it should not have done so since the causes that precipitated it had long been in obvious operation. It is true that the more important silver producers of the United States realized some years ago that India would not continue to ab- sorb silver, as it had through the centuries since the country was brought into touch with th2 western world, and that as a consequence further de- cline in the silver quotation might be expected at any time.
 They accordingly formed an organization designed primar- fly to encourage and stimulate the use of silver in the arts, but that movement dissipated it's energies without achieving any substantial success.
 The reason for this failure was that the two directions the movement in question took, were, f ir t.. to stimulate through advertising the con- sumption of silver in the form of plate to be sold through high class jewelry stores and, sec ond: the discovery of an alloy which would render sterling silver immune to tarnishment and oxidization. The sought for alloy has not yet been fund, though the search for it will now, doubtless, be prose cuted with renewed and great CT vigor. Despite large eX- penditures for advertising, nc considerable increase in the sale of silver plate eventuated because jewellers continued tc maintain it's price at $6.00 al ounce and upwards, thus leav ing it without salvage value ol other new inducement for it. more extended use.
 Having in mind how the An aconda Copper Company, at ; time when the price of coppe. was distressingly low, had in creased the demand for that al by developing new uses fo it and establishing factories t supply the public with article not heretofore made of cop per, mining operators ad vocated similar action by tn
 silver producers with the sam object in view, namely, en
