The geological survey announced that the region tributary to the Alaska railroad contains important reserves of gold, silver, lead and zinc, large deposits of subbitu- minous and bituminous coal, and possibilities that there may be an anthracite field of commercial im- portance. Gold lode mining is be- ing actively carried on in a number of camps, and several of these show great promise of increased produc- tion from mines already operated and from other lodes so far un- developed, the survey stated,
 Herring fishing grounds around Admiralty Island, southeast of AL aska, have been depleted to the point of commercial extinction and other southeastern Alaskan waters are losing their abundance because of fishing operations. Movement to new waters has kept production at desired levels so far, but few un- exploited fishing grounds remain, according to the Department of Commerce.

U. S. RELATIONS
WITH ENGLAND
ARE MENACED
Labor Party Leaders Lay
Blame for Downfall
on America.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP STMMS
Scripps Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - Did
the United States put a pistol to
the head" Of Great Britain and
demand a slash in the dole as the
price of saving her from threatened
financial collapse?
Already leaders Of the Labor
party are bitterly charging, in eff
feet, that the downfall of their gov
eminent was virtually dictated in
the United States. And unless the
British masses can be convinced
that the charge is without founda-
ton serious harm will be done
Anglo-American relations.
Britain's emergency budget is al
most certain to become historic. 1t
already has split the Labor party,
brought about the resignation of the
government and the Reputation of
the prime minister and made neces-
sary national election.
Bitter Election Looms
This election easily may develop
into the bitterest England has wit
messed in generations. The issues
may set class against class, capital
against labor, rich against the
poor, with the name Of America as
the worlds financial colossus. con-
stantly on the lips of campaigners
The British crisis came into the
open six weeks ago when the par
liamentary committee reported
that the next budget faced $780,
100000 deficit.
This deficit, it further was
stated, seemed permanent, rather
than temporary, and accordingly a
permanent reduction would have
to be made in the governments ex-
penses or bankruptcy was inevitable.
Cabinet COIlapses
It was like a bombshell explod-
ing at a picnic. The pound sterling
slipped dangerously. Foreign bank
ers hastily withdrew their credits.
The small dab of gold left in the
Bank of England dwindled alarm
ingly. Something had to be done,
and at once, to stave off a crash.
Premier Macdonald, on vacation
in Scotland, made a night dash for
his office in Downing street and
called his cabinet together.
Just what happened at that meet
ing Is still only partly known. But
one certainty is that the cabinet
split over the way to balance the
budget and resigned.
Another certainty is that the
principal cause of the split was the
proposal to reduce unemployment
insurance, the so-called dole, by 10
per cent.
Charge Hits U. S.
Through the Daily Herald, organ
of the Laborites, labor leaders
charge that in order to get the |
necessary $400, 900 credits from
the United States and France, Mac
Donald allowed the French and |
Americans to make the credits |
conditional upon dole reduction.
Former Minister of Agriculture
Addison was quoted as charging
that 10 per cent reduction in the
dole was imposed and that "the
pistol that had been put to our
heads was in the hands of |
the controllers of the money mar
ket."
Premier Macdonald has denied
these charges emphatically. They
have been denied in the United
States. But the chances are that,
true or false, the last has not been
heard of them.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The

cent in a little more than a year,
but in no way has it kept step with
the reduced prices Of wheat and
flour.

f1fty-one cities of the country, in the
year ending Sept. Is, 1881, bread
prices had dropped Is per cent, flour
prices 25 per cent and wheat in
Chicago had dropped 38 per cent in
the same period
Between Aug. IS, 1881, and Sept.
Is, 1881, wheat went up IA per cent,
flour dropped % per cent and bread
dropped in cost l per cent.
The average price for a loaf Of
bread in f1fty-one cities covered by
department of labor statistics was
7.3 cents pound on Sept. Is, 1881.
Gu Aug. Is, 1881, it was IA, and on
Sept. Is, 1880, it was 81.
On Sept. IS, 1890, No hard win
ter wheat sold at 83 cents in Chi
cago and on Sept. Is, 1881, it sold
for 511a cents.

asked to explain the discrepancy
among the rate of decline in wheat,
flour and bread prices attributed it
largely to the cost of distribution.

JEWELRY FRAUD
TRIAL is GIVEN
TO U. S. JURORS
Anderson Couple Deny
Gems, Valued at $4,000,
Were Secreted.

A federal court jury at noon to-
day began elaboration Of the cases
of Leo Roos and his wife, Mrs. Lena
E. RooS, former Anderson jewelers.,
charged with secreting $4,000 worth
of gems when forced into bank
ruptcy.
The case was submitted to the
jury after two days of presenting
evidence, in which Loos and his
wife took the stand to deny the
charge.
Defendants in the case took the
stand late Thursday to deny the
governments allegations that Leo
Roos and his wife, Mrs. Lena E.
Roos, former Anderson jewelers.,
secreted gems worth $4,000 when
forced into bankruptcy.
The jewelry, sold later to w. A.
Payne of Muncie, were given to
RooS' son, Emil Roos, when the lat
tire opened his own jewelry store in
Muncie some time before the
bankruptcy proceedings, Roos and
his wife testified. The son bore out
their statements.
On the stand Roos was questioned
concerning check kiting to keep up
false bank balance in four banks.
This he confessed, but denied it
was done to impress creditors.
Previously he had pleaded guilty to
a charge of fraudulent use of mails,
in connection with this practice.
1T was foolish thing that I did,"
he said. 81 didn't need it any more
than I need smallpox"
He also was questioned concern
ing a 100000 diamond robbery in
his store prior to the bankruptcy,
and denied the governments con-
tention that he faxed the robbery
and Secreted the gems himself.
Both Roos and Mrs. Roos are
charged with violation of the bank
ruptcy laws.

FEDERAL BOARD
FINISHES HUGE
GRAIN PURCHASE
Last Transaction Largest
on Record for Cash
Wheat Deals.
By United Press

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, May L.
The federal farm board today took
control Of 23.O61 900 bushels of wheat
stored in terminal elevators at Min
neapolis and Duluth, completing
purchase Of grain bought in recent
months for May delivery.
Officials of the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce, which handled the
transaction, said it was probably the
largest exchange of grain ever COM
pleted in one day on any world mar
ket.
Cash Payment Made
The Chamber of Commerce clear
ing house turned the grain. most Of
which was owned by elevators, over
to the grain sterilization corpora
ton, farm board subsidy. The
transaction was for cash.
Payment was made on the basis
of the wheat price at the time each
individual purchase Of wheat for
May delivery was made. The pay
ment totaled about $18O0O,000.
Today's transaction brought the
amount of wheat which the farm
board is expected to hold on July l,
when the 1885, crop becomes avail
able, to approximately 20O,O0O,0OO
bushels.
Fills Huge Train
In commenting on the magnitude
Of the transaction, Chamber of
Commerce officials said that the
wheat would fill enough box cars to
make train 100 miles long. Enough
one-pound loaves of bread could be
made from the grain to circle the
world eight and one-half times.
Officials of the Chamber Of Com
merce said they had not been adj
viSed what the farm board will do
with the wheat. It was believed,
however, that a strike of dock-work-
ers at the Duluth and Superior
lakes harbors would hamper move
ment of the grain eastward.

NEW YORK, May Limited
States Steel common stock, the
leader in Thursdays rally on the
Stock Exchange, today lost all it
had gained and broke to a new low
for the last four years below lis.
Steel touched 11312, within about
10 points of the lowest since 1925.
1t rallied from the low to close at
114H, off So from the previous
close. Auburn closed at 1876, off 28
points.
Sales totaled 100000 shares,
against 100000 shares Thursday.
According to preliminary calcula-
ton, the Dow, Jones & Co. indus
trial average lost SAP points to
145.77 after it gained 1853 points
Thursday. The railroad average,
which Thursday gained 2.20 points,
today lost 1876 to 1878.
Early Gains Lost
Selling of United States Steel I'M
dermined the entire stock market
and prices were driven down / to
5 points after early gains of frac-
tons to points had been regis
tered.
For time the list appeared to
be headed upward. Thursdays rise
had added more than Z points to
the industrial average, but most of
this gain was wiped out today.
All leaders were subjected to
pressure.
American Can lost more than 4
points, Westinghouse Electric more
than 3, Auburn Auto dropped 80
points from its high of the day; and
wide losses were noted in Worth
ington Pump; j. I. Case, Radio and
Vanadium.
Trading picked up in volume in
the late decline and prices generally
went tdown to laws of the session.
Rails Under Pressure
Bethlehem Steel, leader in early
trading, rose 33s to 463z on short
covering by those who had expect
ed a reduction of so per cent in
the annual dividend, which actually
was reduced from Sc to 81. Earn
ings of 6 cents share for the first
quarter were exactly in line with
expectations.
Copper shares reacted with Amer
lean Smelling dipping to new low
for the year. Selling in this group
followed reduction in the price of
the metal to 99s cents a pound for
domestic shipment by one custom
smelter.
Railroad shares. rallied with the
remainder of the list for time, but
toward the close they, too. were de-
pressed. New York Central was I'M
der pressure.
