gued that the cid age pensiAn plan
is only an experiment and lfhat. il
would he best to wait rorl snyGral
years, to see if it is going to work
out before abolishinG the almShOuscs
Representative VanScivel p. CALLED
the bill up and secured the priyi-
lcgc of the floor for John SgtROs-
sell, of Wilmington, to tall0; ON the
measure. Mr.. Rosscll was Il member
of special commission appointed
by Governor Buck to study the mat
ter of an old age pension system
for the State and which commission
made recommendations to the Gov
crnor leading to the preparing and
passing of the bill which provides
for an old age pension in Delaware.
Mr.. ROSsell during one of the
strongest appeals that has been
heard on the Legislative floor this
session for or against a bill, point
cd out what a great step forward a
bill of this character would be for
the State. He told the members
that a survey that had been made
recently showed such conditions in
the almshOuses of the State that
could and would not be condOned
by any resident of the State and that
the establishment of this State Wei
fare Home would eliminate these
conditions.
The speaker commended the House
e.,
would have continued these condi-
tiOus until 1896 and said the care
of the class of people who go to the
almshOuses is one of the most inn
portant matters of a State govern
ment
The speakers statement that a
survey had showed deplorablc con-
ditiOns in the almshOuses of Della
ware was apparently surprise to
many of the House members While
the passage Of this bill is -appar-
emily blow to the politicians of the
State, no effort on the part of any
one was made TO refute the state
ments of Mr.. Rosscll as to the de-
plorable conditions of almshOuscs
i'm Delaware.
This bill after first being passed !
by the Senate was recalled from the !
House, but later again repassed by |
the Senate and again sent to the |
House.
The Old Age Welfare Commission
will decide where the proposed new |
State Welfare Home is to he built. |
Under the provisions of the bill the !
Levy Court of each county is to pay
for the maintenance of the persons
in the home from that county and
State semi-annually will repay to
the counties so per cent of the a.
mount they have paid Under this
agreement, in addition to building
the home the State will also pay so
per cent of the cost of maintenance,
which in the long run it is thought
will reduce the present cost to each
county for caring for its poor in aims
houses.
The passage of bill of this kind
was natural follow-up of the pas
sage of the Old Age Pension bill.

Mineral Output Lower Continued from Page 1.


 27 were active during 1930- 15 in the Yukon Valley, and 12 in Seward Peninsula. To- gether these dredges produced gold to the value of $3,912,- 600. They are estimated to have handled about 9,906,000 cubic yards of gravel, and the gold recovered was worth about 391a cents a cubic yard.
 The output of copper was nearly 7,860,000 pounds less than in 1929, and it's value was nearly $2,886,000 less than in the earlier year. Practically the whole of the Alaska cop per comes from three mines operated by the Kennecott Copper Corporation. Two of which are in the Copper River region and one on Latouche | Island, in Prince William Sound. During the year work at the mine on Latouche Is- land was discontinued and part of the plant dismantled. In 1880 silver to the value of $107,800 was recovered from copper ores, $39,300 from gold lode ores, and $10,200 from placer gold; the total was 4O8,570 ounces, having a val ue of $157,000. This marks a very great falling off in value from 1929, which is attributed to the lower selling price ot silver and to the greatly de l creased output of copper ores from which large part of the Alaska silver is derived.
 Lead produced amounted to I2,730,000 pounds, which al the average selling price o1 lead for the year was wortf $136,50O. This was the larg est output of lead in Alasks since this metal was first pro duced in the Territory, though because of the small price paie | for lead the total value wa
Hyder weekly herald., 1931-07-25

below that of many years. Most of the lead was recover ed as a by-product in connect ion with the mining of gold ores in southeastern Alaska.
 Coal to the value of $631,- 900 was produced in 1880 from Alaska mines. This was an increase of about $10O,O0O, and the output of the year, 120,100 tons, has been exceed ed in only one year in the entire period that coal mining has been in progress in Alas ka. No Alaska coal is ex- ported, but 7,128 was import ed from the States, chiefly from Washington, and 23,- S92 tons from foreign count ries, chiefly British Columbia, so that the total consumption of coal in Alaska in 1880 amounted to approximately 181,1 100 tons.
