DISCOVERY OF
 WITHERITE IS
 MADE ON KU|U
George Comstock Fin d S New Mineral-Barium
 Carbonate, Kuiu Isl.

Discovery of barium carbonate, (witherite) the first of that metal in Alaska, was announced today by B. D. Stewart. Supervising Mining Engineer for the Territory. It was made on Kuiu Island, Frederick Sound, recently by George Con- stock, oldtime prospector. Associat- ed with him are Dr. Robert Simp- son and a pjrospector named Kelly.
 The discovery was in the form of a deposit of pebbles on the beach, about two or three tons be- ing found. Owing to the weight of the mineral, Mir Stewart said it was not probable that the de- posit was not far distant from its source.
 Claims have been located by MT. Comstock on ground composed of limestone carrying barite veins. MT. Stewart will visit the ground within few weeks to investigate, he said.
 Barium carbonate is one of the rarest of minerals. It occurs in only two places, so far as is known on the North American continent. One of them is near Lexington, Ky, and the other in Ontario, Canada. It is used extensively as a filler for paints, wallpaper, in oil drilling, in refining sugar and has other industrial uses. The latest quotations are SAT per ton for 200 mesh and $44 for 100 mesh ground, finished product.
 The discovery was described by MT. Stewart as most interesting ]" If MT. Comstock can locate the source of the pebble deposit found on the beach, and develop a suf- ficient quantity, he believed that no difficulty would be found in ob- taining a ready market. The specimen analysed by MT. Stewart was practically pure, and had no metallic mineral content.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, July g.
 Believed to have drowned after five minutes at the bottom of Lau- rel Lake, New Jersey, William Dugan is alive and well today.

 Dugan was wrapped in blankets lined with hot water bottles and given hypodermics. Inhalators were used.
 Dugan finally sighed and opened lis eyes.
 Tt was so comfortable I was just resting in space yet I had a feeling to rouse myself and make an effort to go somewhere said Dugan.
 Then from great distance I heard mother calling and I had to answer her. After a great effort I opened my eyes,
 Dugan said he had feeling of oblivion, peaceful long sleep, with no dreams, before he heard his mother calling. Then he ral- lied.

 The report of the Commission recommended that the treatment of Juvenile Delinquency be rele- gated almost entirely to the states
 Harsh Treatment
 The Wickersham Commission report to President Hoover on "child offenders and the Federal System of Justice" is described as a bit harsh on disciplinary treat rent accorded minors and asserted many jails in which they are kept present situation of filth and misery impossible to convey"
 Flogging Reported
 In some instances. the report says, flogging is not infrequent, while in others caiesthentics to the point of exhaustion and torture positions, shackling and drenching with cold water, and confinement to bread and water, have been in vogue.

Organized Agric ul ture Goes. to Bat Against
 Railway s Increase
By FRANK |. WELLER

Associated Press Farm Editor)
 WASHINGTON, D. O., July B. Announcement by American rail- ways that the proposed IS per cent increase in freight rates, if granted, would apply to all commodities re- suited in immediate plans by or ganized agriculture to protest to the interstate commerce commis- sion.
 O. w. Sandberg, director of the American Farm Bureau federation's transportation department, has pre- pared for the commissions consid- |eration a table of 28 principal farm commodities showing what he says is the amount paid by the farmer in freight out of each S100 he re- ceiyes for his products.
 How It Is Paid
 For each $100 of grapes shipped, $61 is represented as freight costs. The freight on potatoes is given at $36.56 for each $100 worth; hay and alfalfa, $32 02; apples, S24.87; corn, $13.49; wheat, $11.87; poultry, $7.l6; hogs, $5.21; cotton in bales, $3.08 and leaf tobacco. $2.20 Sandberg says the average freight rate for all commodities hauled by railroads, including such items as lumber and coal, is $708 for each $100 of value. Farm products headed the list of commodities in the interstate com merce questionnaire on what the railways would exclude from the increase.

GOLD YIELD IN
 1881 EXPECTED
 BREAK RECORDS
Shipments for First Six Months ,$3,l78,380,
 Point to New High

With gold shipments from the Territory for the first six monsn
 f this year over 50 per cent in ex- cess of the shipments for a like period in 1880, there is a strong probability that the production of Alaska's gold mining industry in 1881 will be the largest since 1917,
 The total of shipments for Jan lary, February, March, April, May md June of the current year was S3,178,380, according to the official figures reported by John C. Me- Bride, Collector of Customs. The same six months last year had shipments aggregating $2,048,906.
 GAIN IS MADE
 The gain for this year was $1,129,- i74, or in excess of 50 per cent. It las been registered steadily, each month showing bigger shipments han the corresponding month of 1880.
 The first half of the year, nat urally, is the period when ship ments are smallest. This is due to the fact that placer mining op- erations, including the big dredging projects at Fairbanks and Nome, and small lodes in the interior, are closed down for the winter While this year, some of the dre- dges in the Fairbanks district opened in April, the whole fleet did not swing into line until about June 1, and the Nome boats did not begin work until later than that.
 Smaller projects were also later getting under way. The season, according to Gov. Parks on his re- turn here this week, was 15 days later than normal all over the in terior and northern areas This naturally retarded mining opera tions somewhat. Despite these fac- tors, the first half of the year was the most productive in many years.
 MAY REACH $10,000,00O
 If the average monthly gain for the first half year should be main tained for the last, the years total would reach eleven and three quarter million dollars. Mining men J
