 "Our organization has for it's purpose, stabilization of tho hali- bat market" said MT. KWapil. Ut is a semi-cooperative associ- :tion of owners, each represent ed by trustees and with a trustee to act as umpire in disputes. The headquarters of our organiza- tion will be in Seattle. We hope to stabilize conditions in the in- Gustry and to help both the ves- sel owners and the fishermen.
 '"The United Pacific Fisheries started operations today in Se- ;.ttle. We will have a representa- tive in Prince Rupert to place the plan in operation in that }Ort. Our organization with both American and Canadian trustees will be a marketing agency and the price for halibut will be open. We expect to have 100 per cent of the fishermen With us. Grading of halibut will be the same as in 1930."
 Dispute Grading Rule
 The fishing Schooner Norland arrived in Seattle recently from Alaska and offered it's fare of halibut on the market when a dispute arose as to the grading.
 Vessel owners and fishermen maintain that medium h2libut should be classed as fish between 10 and 80 pounds while the buy- CTS insist that medium halibut be limited to fish between ten and sixty pounds. Capt. Sandvik, master of the Norland, refused 10 sell his fish on the Seattle fish exchange under the new classification and disposed of his catch to the United Pacific

members nor members Ot the vessel owners association start cd out upon the opening of the season and are paying no atten- tiOn to the demands of either party to the controversy. But, like every other organization in Juneau, they expect to benefit from the efforts of the fishing vessel owners association and from the demands of the fisher mems union. But while the diff :erences are being ironed out whereby the Juneau fishermen will benefit, they are taking ad- vantage of the strike and going out to the grounds.
 The tie-up in the industry is tremendous but it is probably a good thing. There is reput- ed to be about 12,000,000 pounds Of halibut in storage with the call for halibut on the down grade because of the economic disturbances in the states. There IS not an Over-production of halibut on the market for With the present lack of necessary funds to buy high priced fish, there is an underconsumption of the commodity. To throw m ad- ditional million pounds or so more on to the market would Ee just about disastrous for the buyers of frozen stock. The strike then saves the face of the buy- CTS who are not yet ready to purchase halibut stock for an- other month or so. In the mean time, if tho strike continues, it is not improbable that the buy CTS will turn to the Japan mar ket for halibut stock and there- by open another angle of the question.
 Marketing Group Formed

DREDGE MAY SOON OPERATE
 AT MOUTH OF CANES CREEK

That there will be something doing at an early date on the mining ground at the mouth of Canes creek is indicated in a telegram received few days ago by Charles L. Baker from H. c. Wallick, who left here last fall for the Outside. The par ties interested in these claims, which cover a stretch of perhaps four or five miles, are Mir. Baker, John Rieck and Dick Stevenson. What prospect ing has already been done on these claims, according to MT. Baker, has been most encouraging for dredging operations. The telegram to MT. Baker follows:
 "San Francisco, Jan. II.
 "Charles Baker, Takotna:
 Have control of drill and dredge. You and Rieck get together. Wire your best terms on claims, following it with detailed letter. Will start drilling as soon as 1 can get there and get drill with supplies on ground. hill move dredge to property as soon as sufficient values show proper To- cation. H. c. WALLICK."

Minerals
 Of Alaska
VALUE OF MINERAL OUTPUT OF ALASKA DURING THE PAST
 YEAR.

WASHINGTON.-The Department of the Interior estimates through ad- vance statements prepared by the Alaskan branch of the Geological Survey, that mines in Alaska are es- timated to have produced minerals to the value of $13,602,OOO in 1930 as against $16,066,OOO in 1929. The total value of the mineral output of Alas ka since 1880 is approximately $629,- 000,000. The figures for 1880, which are preliminary estimates and conse- quently subject to revision, are taken from the Geological Surveys annual report on the mineral resources of Alaska, now in preparation. The source of this mineral wealth was approximately as follows:
The Kusko times., 1931-02-07
Value of Mineral Output of Alaska

General industrial conditions sim liar to those of the United States and practically all other countries of the world prevailed in Alaska in 1930 and are reflected in the decreased value of it's mineral output. The prices paid for the mineral commodities other than gold were so abnormally low as compared with 1929 that more than two million dollars of the decrease prices, however, had perhaps an even greater eect in deterring develop ment of mines whose ores carry prin- cipally the base metals, so that their output was either curtailed or alto- gether stopped. Obviously this is a temporary condition that will disap- pear in time, and there is nothing in the general condition of the Alaska mining industry to indicate a perma- nent decline. In fact, the increased production of gold from the Territory in 1880 in the face of the serious de- pression in so many of the nations industries is an encouraging feature that gives assurance of still further growth as general conditions inn prove and capital and effort once more seek productive employment. The growing education of people to the really favorable conditions that prevail in Alaska, the constast im- provement in transportation facili- ties, the experience gained in past mining ventures, and the success of mining enterprises throughout the Territory, although diminishing the glamour of Alaska, are all aiding in removing handicaps that hampered development of several of it's basic industries, of which minig will long continue to be one of the most pro- ductive.
 The total production of gold from Alaska mines in 1880 is estimated at $8, ,394, 4,000, or aboot two-thirds of million dollars more than in 1929. This marks a noteworthy increase, not only over the preceding year but over any of the preceding ten years. By far the largest amount of gold appears to have come from the placer mines, which yielded about 57 per cent of the total gold, as against 43

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT
 NOT A HARMONIOUS ONE

WASHINGTON.-Enpugh of the inside story of the Wickersham law enforcement commission has, been disclosed to indicate bitterness over some of the internal differences, but there is no authoritative support for the report that disagreement arose either from interference by President Hoover or alteration of the report after it had been signed.
 In the course of preparation the wording was changed frequently in an attempt to. compile the draft so that all eleven commissioners could sign it, and in the end all but Monte Lemann of New Orleans signed it.. Lemann so far has declined to make any comment on the report, but may be asked along with others to appear before the Senate Investigating com mittee. Commissioners who have talked privately continue to deny that President Hoover headed off a modification proposal and said all of the main disagreements arose among the commissioners themselves.
