ALASKA MINERAL OUTPUT GREATLY
 INCREASED IN 1929

Alaska mines produced S16,- 066,000 worth of minerals in
 1929, as against $14,061, ,0OO in
 1928, according to an an-
 nouncement by the Geological Survey. The total value of the
 mineral output of the Territory
 since 1880 is placed at $615,-
 501, ,00O.
 Gold produced during the
 year was valued at $7,761, ,0OO,
 IS compared to $6,845, ,0O0 in
 1928. Copper production tot
 aled $7,130,000, against S5,- 965,000 for the preceding year while silver production was slightly below that of 1928 with $252,000. Lead increased to 166,000, compared to $118,- % for the previous year and coal and tin were slightly less than in 1928. Miscellaneous products such as petroleum, platinum metals, marble, gyp- sum, etc., showed a substantial gain in value.
 The increase in gold, copper, lead and miscellaneous prod ucts is attributed to the in- creased selling price of copper and a very notable increase in the output of gold from both lodes and placers. There was also an increase in the quantity of silver, though the value of that metal was less than in 19- 28.
 More than 95 percent of lode gold output came from lodes in southeastern Alaska and the total output was distributed between lodes and placers ap- proXimately in the proportion of AZ to 53, or $3,644,000 from lodes and $4,117,000 from placers.
 The output of copper was nearly 911,000 poundslessthan n 1928, but because of the in- creased selling price it's value was $1, 1000 greater than n the earlier year. Silver to he value of $187,40O was re- covered from the copper ores of the territory, $50,300 from he gold lodes, and $14,300 from placer gold. Although the total value was less, pro- duction of silver was 18,O00 ounces greater than in 1928.
 The lead produced amounted 70 2,630,000 pounds, valued at S166,000. This was the largest output and highest value for lead production since the met al was first produced in the territory

TRAM EMPLOYEE
 FATALLY INJURED

Falling between 50 and 60 l feet from an overturned ore bucket on the Premier Gold
 Mining Company's aerial tram system while riding from the Nine-mile camp to the Fish Creek angle station shortly af- ter 3 D. m. last Saturday after noon, Larry ("Red") Mullen. telephone lineman employed by the mining company, sus- tained injuries which resulted in his death in the Prince Rup- ert Hospital early Thursday morning.
 The unfortunate accident occurred in the vicinity of what is known as the No. 5 ten sion tower, located a short dis tance south of the Riverside mine but was not discovered until about 9 a. m. Sunday morning. During the interval the wounded man lay in the brush below the tram line ex- posed to wind and rain and and there appears little doubt that his demise was to a large extent due to the effects of the exposure sustained in the ap- proximately Is hour period be- fore he was found. After fall ing from the ore bucket, Null en apparently landed on a stump, but managed to crawl distance of approximately 50 feet before relapsing into un- consciousness. Discovery of his predicament was made by fellow employee, who was proceeding along the tram right of way on foot.
 Failure on the part of Mullen to observe company regulat- ions appears to have been the chief cause of the accident and for the failure to notice his ab- sence for so long period after he left the Nine-mile camp.
 Fellow employees state that he was constantly moving up and down the 13-mile tram line in connection with his du- ties as lineman and they sell dom paid attention to his movements, especially as he seldom took the trouble to re- port his goings or comings. He is also alleged to have dis regarded the company regu- lations against riding on the ore buckets. As a result. none of his fellow employees ap- pear to have given a thought to his whereabouts until he failed to appear for breakfast at the Nine-mile camp Sunday morning. Even then no one appears to have become uneasy over his absence, as it was be- lieved that he was either at Fish Creek or had gone in to town.
 Following his discovery, the injured man was taken to the mine hospital at Premier, where he was found to have sustained fractured hip and other injuries, the exact char acter of which are said to have been undetermined owing to his bad physical condition.
 Between spells of unconscious ness Mullin told somewhat disconnected story of his exper- fences which revealed that his fall was due to the catch on the Q r bucket becoming un- fastened, permitting the buck ct to turn over suddenly on it's hinges.

B. P R PLANS IMPROVEMENT OF
 SALMON R ROAD

Extensive improvements con- templated by the Bureau of Public Roads on the upper reaches of the Salmon River road were disclosed in an an nouncement made Wednesday by l.. w. Taroff, supervising engineer of local road con- struction, that the Bureau has called for bids for widening and otherwise improving the highway between Eight-mile and Eleven-mile during the present year. In addition to widening the highway the road bureau also plans to raise the present grade to a higher ele- vation above the Salmon River with the object of removing the danger of flooding dur ing periods of extreme high water, such as have occurred several times since the road was built.
 The present width of the of the highway in the indicated area is about s feet, and will be increased to the same standard width as along the lower reaches extending from Eight mile to Hyder.
 Bids for the new construction will be opened September 3 MT. Turoff said, and work on the project will in all probabil- ity be started around the frs, of October and continue az long as climatic conditions per init. MT. Turoff expressed the view that the work can be car ried on until close to the holi- day season at least.
 MT. Turoff informed the Her. aid that the new project will be almost entirely rock work anG. will involve the cutting, off oi many of the rocky points along the present route,, making the road not only higher and wider but also considerably straight CT.
 MT. Turoff was not prepared to state the amount to be ex pended on the new project but from other sources it is feared that an appropriation of S126,. 900 has just been allotted by the Secretary of Agriculture to the Alaska Forest Service dist rict for road construction dur ing the current year and that $85, 900 of the amount has been allotted for the local pro -ject.
 News of the Bureaus contem plations was received with the highest degree of qualification by our citizens, who realize tho benefits that will accrue from the increased employment ot labor and supply purchases ir the worst period of depression in the camps history.
 The new project will culmi- nate a long-continued series of roads improvements by the Bu- reau of Public Roads, which have given the district one ot the finest roads in the North. Work carried on during the past five years has involved rebuilding of long sections of the original highway with the object of raising the elevation to such degree as to place it beyond the reach of the recur- rent floods of Salmon River, which parallels the highway along practically it's entire length With the completion of the new improvements the road will be not only practical

states delegation in the house has been increased from four to five members. During five congresses, the state was represented by four congressman from their respective districts and one member-at- large.
 During the fifty-seventh congress, sitting from 1901-l903, Connecticut had only four members in the house. Under the provisions of the reap portionment measure based upon the 1900 census. however, the house dele gation from the state was increased to five, effectiva in 1903, and in that year Connecticut sent George L. Lil- ley of Waterbury to the Capitol as representatives in addition to her four regular representatives.
 During the fifty-eighth, ffty-ninth and sixtieth congresses Mir. Lilley continued to- sit in the house as a representatives from Connec- tieut In 1908 John Q. Tilson was

SIXTH MEMBER OF
 HOUSE IN 1892

When Connecticut elects it's six members in the House of Represent tatives in 1882 under the provisions of the reapportiOnment bill, the ad- ditional representative provided by the measure may be congressman at-large or may represent a sixth dis trict as the state legislature sees fit.
 It is said at the census bureau that the method in which the additional representative is elected will be de- termined entirely by the state legis- lature. The bureau and other feder- al branches do not care whether Con necticut re-districts the state into six districts or elects a congressman at-large.
 Connecticut. it will be recalled. sent a congressman-at-la large to Wash ington from 1903 to 1913. after the

elected as successor to Represents tive Lilley, and during the sixty-hrst and sixty-second Congresses Tikon sat in the house as representatives. large from Connecticut.
 In the election of 1910, eight years after she had been allotted an increase in house membership, Con necticut for the first time eliminated her congressman-at-large and voted as a five district state, with the re- suit that Colonel Tilson was defeat ed and was not present when the sixty-third congress met in sess'on with five representatives from Con necticut for the first time in history each representing congressionai district.
 So 1t would appear that if the state sees fit to elect congressnsh- at-large in 1892 rather than to redis, triet this practice may be continues for several years.

EFFICIENCY MOVE AT
 DANIELSON BARRACKS
Various Departments in Telephone Chain.--Other Improvements
 Planned

In the near future an efficiency movement will be made at the police barracks in Danielson. The improve ment will be of vast importance and will effect the manner of outside communication by telephone. A small "PBX" switchboard has re- gently been installed which now en- ables the officer on desk duty to di- vert all calls to proper channels with in few moments. With the new in strument the homes of the lieuten- ant, sergeant and various rooms and buildings in and about the barracks are chained up. The mechanism is functioning at the present, but with in a few weeks. the system is to he extended and elaborated upon where by all communities within the terri tory patrolled by the officers of the Danielson station. will be herded in- to one exchange.
 Special Putnam Service
 With this feature. one will be en- abled to communicate with the police at Danielson from a telephone in Putnam or Willimantic exchanges, without having to pay the regular fee for such a call As explained such a practice will be made possible through the tieing up of the barracks with wires running directly to the telephone exchanges in the various districts outside of Danielson, which are patrolled by officers of the North Main street station.
 In addition to the improved system of telephone communication, the bar racks is now preparing to receive the tel-type machine, the recent announs ed system of communication witt other posts in the state.

 MT. Macomber once lived in Northampton, Mass, town where the nice things of musical art are highly appreciated. He believed there was a fine field in New Brit. ain for a first class mems choral organization. He told the assem- 5led guests that he knew Roy Will Hams Steele personally. and had the assurance that Mr. Steele would be the man to swing the baton.
 Nobody knew much about Mr Steele. The conductor was told to come to town to present his views. After the executive board had met him it was agreed that he was the man for the joo.

It was the first time in the history of the city that such a con- cert was given with the accompani- ment of a string ensemble as well as piano; and the string ensemble, by the way was a resounding suc- cess.
