NEW YORK, Jan. Is, (P)-Steve Hamas, of PaSsaic, ". J., scored a knockout victory over Tommy Loughran, of Philadelphia, Friday night in the second round of 2, scheduled 10-rounder in Madison Square Garden.

LOW PR|CE IF TUNA FISH IS SIGNAL FOR
 CESSATION ACTIVITY

SAN PEDRO, Jan. IS. (Py-Men connected with the fishing indus try here deny the report that there is a strike among the fishing men, fishing boat owners or the can nerieS here.
 They say, however, that employ CTS and boat owners are refusing to operate their craft because of the low price which is being paid for tuna and should they desire to operate it would only be at 3 loss. Some 102 boats are being held in the port of San Pedro and 62 boats are being held at San Diego.
 The only boats which can possibly operate and make a meagre profit under the present low prices are some who are operating in Mexican waters who use low-paid alien labor.
 The United States Department of Labor has dispatched one of it's department heads to investigate the matter and to attempt to help out the tuna fishing industry.

A, FRED JOHNSTON Is
 CALLED SUNDAY AFTER
 MONTHS, BEORIDDEN

Prematurely taken away from his dear ones and friends, yet coming as a solace from months of suf- fering, Alfred Fred Johnston, aged A, died Sunday shortly after 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
 Fred was fond of nature. He loved the mountains, the lakes, the rivers and the sea. So it happened that year ago last October, while hunting moose at Mile 54, he fell from tree, breaking his back. From that day long ago he had been confined to bed
 Everything that human agency could possibly do was attempted In an effort to effect cure, to bring some surcease from suffering, but to no avail. Taken to specialists at Seattle after 3 period in the Sew ard General Hospital, he was brought home where, under the tender, loving care of his wife, relatives and friends, he bravely fingered on month after month.
 But a change came last week; a change for the worse. The valiant spirit, weakened, began to ebb, and esterday-Sunday-Fred died.
 Alfred Fred Johnston, though young in years, was veteran in the Alaska Railroad train service and one of the most popular mem bers of the engineering crews.
 Fred's last run" was over what was said to be an impossible grade The going was too heavy and all station lights and track signals dimmed into oblivion. He did his best to make the grade" but just couldn't,
 Born on November g, 1888, in the little town of Clearbrook, Wash ington, he attended school there and in Bellingham Tn 1904 he came to Seward and had been a resident here practically ever since.
 He joined the Alaska Railroad train service in 1916 as a fireman to which he was attached until his fatal injury He was also active in mining and together with his part ner. Mike Deegan, had been carry ing forward for some years past development work on their Nuka Bay claims
 Fred was an esteemed member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen.
 Surviving him is his devoted wife, and three children, Leonard, Denice and Lee; also a brother, R.. w. Johnston, local resident for many years.
 The funeral service which will be held in the Catholic Church, is being held in abeyance pending word from Mrs. Johnston's brother, Joe Bradshaw, in Seattle.

All lode gold contains some silver, and, owing to the much greater output of gold from the Alaska lodeS, there was some increase in the output of silver associated with the gold from that source. All placer gold also contains some sil- yer, so that some silver was ob- tained from that source.
 The amount obtained from the placer gold, however, is much less than that from the other sources, so that the slight decrease In the output of placer gold had only 8 little effect on the total silver from Alaska Nowhere in Alaska are ores mined primarily for their sil- yer content. Silver bearing lead ores are known at several places in the Territory, but the high cost of transporting and smelting them diScourages development or even search for them except in the more accessible localities.
 Coal
 The production of coal from AL aska mines in 1881 is estimated to have been 108,O00 tons, or some : what less than in 1880. AS usual practically all of the output came from the Matanuska and Healy River fields. The principal pro- ducing mines were those of the Evan Jones Coal Company, and the Alaska Matanuska Coal Company in the Matanuska field, and the Suntrana mine of the Healy River Coal Corporation, in the Healy River field.
 At the Evan Jones mine produc ton was maintained throughout the year at 3 rate of several thous- and tons a month At the Premier mine of the Alaska MatanuSka Coal Company, production at the rate of a few thousand tons a month was maintained during the early part of the year, but after that company did not receive the award of the new contract for coal used by the Alaska Railroad, the man. agement decided to discontinue op- erations temporarily
 AS this procedure would have re- suited in flooding the mine and jeopardizing the coal remaining in the ground, the Alaska. Railroad entered into short term leases with the company to take over the prop erty and keep the mine pumped. This arrangement went into effect in July and had not been terminal ed at the end of the calendar year. Notable new developments were reportd to have been made at the Suntrana mine, and it's output was considerably more than the total from all the other coal mines in the Territory.
 One of the forward looking moves for the stimulation of the development of Alaska coals was made possible through a special grant by Congress for Investigating certain of the mineral resources of Alaska. An allotment from these funds was made for the intensive investigation of the coal field near Anthracite Ridge, in the eastern part of the Matanuska field. AS a result, detailed survey was made of this tract and all the available (PIease turn to Page six)

Copper
 The value of the copper produced from Alaska in 1881 is estimated to have been $1,712,OO0. This marks a decrease in value of more than $2,5OO000 from the corresponding value in 1880. Nearly S1,00O,000 of this decrease in value may be at tributed directly to the lower av- craze price Of copper in 1881 than in 1930 The low price not only had it's direct effect in the value of the output but it also acted to restrict operations, so that the quantity produced fell off by an amount estimated as in excess of 12.00O 900 pounds.
 The average selling price of cop per during the year, as computed by the Bureau of Mines, was 8.3 cents, against 13 cents in 1930 In 1881, as in former years, practl- cally all the copper came from two mines near Kennecott, in the Cop per River region. The mine on La touche Island, which had long been one of the large producers of cop per but which was closed down in November, 1880, remained idle throughout 1881, and the work of dismantling the surface plant was in progress.
 The extremely low price of cop per discouraged search for new cop per prospects, and even at the pro- ducing mines the amount of devel- opment work in locating extensions of the known deposits was reduced to a minimum. Thus at the prop erty of the Kennecott Copper Cor ooration, the prospecting that had been carried on at the Erie mine was practically suspended, and re- duction of personnel in all the mines and mill was effected.
 No new properties have been opened in the Copper River district, but a copper prospect on Glacier Creek was discovered that showed some rich copper ore. The ore at this place is reported to occur in limestone and is of the same type as that which has been mined at the large producers near Kenne- colt. Sufficient work has not yet been done to detemine the probable size of the ore body, but this oc- eurrence Is regarded as significant enough to warrant continued de- velopment to determine the facts.
 That there are in Alaska copper deposits which are not now pro- ducing but which hold promise Of profitable development is probable, put their discovery is an expensive and time consuming task, and no new deposits appear likely to be- come significant producers in the near future.
 Silver
 Most of the silver produced in Alaska during recent years has been recovered from the copper Aores-in fact, during 1880, the lat est year for which complete re- ports are available, over two thirds of the silver came from that source. With the reduction in the output of copper ore in 1881, the quantity of silver naturally shows a cores bonding decrease.
 Furthermore, the average selling price of silver was only 29 cents m ounce, against 3S.5 cents in 1930
