BELIEVES SILVER
 AID COMING SOON

Monetization of silver will gain ground rapidly if the forthcoming international sil- yer and economic conference takes action, and the recovery of silver and betterment of the entire mining industry is inevi- table, was the declaration of J. F. Gallbreath, Washington, D. C., secretary of the Ameri- can Mining Congress, in a re- cent press statement.
 Silver should be used as gold is used, as the supporting re- serve for paper currency, at it's current market value, MT. Gallbreath said.
 This may be the work of years, he continued, but the monetization of silver will gain ground rapidly if the internat- ional silver conference takes action. This conference, called by Great Britain and in which the United States is authorized to participate, can discuss but one thing-silver as money. If not, why hold the conference? he said.
 ''Silver is not sectional problem; it is a world prob- lem, the worlds greatest prob lem, because silver is sound money" MT. Gallbreath said in describing money as "a meas ure of value," with it's purpose ito facilitate exchange, to rep- resent accumulations, to stab- ilize thought as to the value of things-a tangible and inter- changeable measure of the val ue of things. Use silver to the extent of it's gold market price in placing actual money value behind currency and eventual ly gold and silver must reach a natural parity of IA to 1 to create a metallic reserve for the business of the world of two-tenths instead of the pres ent one-tenth of the non-metal- lie standard base. The history of the world shows gold at one billion ounces to IA billion ounces of silver" Mr. Gall breath said.

MUST RAISE PRICES ORREPUD|ATE DEBTS
 SAYS CHURCHILL

That deflation and the in- crease in the price of gold are bringing about a condition wherein worldwide repudiat- ion of debts, both public and private, is inevitable, was the recent declaration of Winston Churchill, noted British states man and former chancellor of the eXchequer.
 At present prices debtors, in- dividuals and nations alike, cannot pay their debts, he said.
 Churchill expressed the view that the governments of the United States and Great Brit mia ought, through their ag- entS-the Federal Reserve Bank and the Bank of England to come to a definite conclusion that commodities must be re- valuated up to a 1927 or 1928 level, and that thereafter suf- ficient currency must be avail able to provide a steady meas ure for prices.

ALASKA MAY SEEK
 FEDERAL AID FUNDS

According to understanding prevalent in Ketchikan, con- firmed by additional word from the national capital, Gov. ernor George A. Parks is con- sidering asking for some part of the $300,000,000 federal re- lief funds to take care of Alas kan unemployed this winter, says the Ketchikan Chronicle. There is some dispute among local observers, first as to the necessity of any such loan and, second, to the possibility of the governors making the loan without legislative approval, inasmuch as a special provis- ion hinging on Alaskan credit was made in the relief bill as adopted by congress and ap- proved by the president.
 Primary need for consider ation of any application is suitable proof that territorial, municipal and private funds are so exhausted as to make federal aid absolutely necess- ary.
 Territorial funds, according t understanding here, are about exhausted. They can not be replenished before the next meeting of the legislat- ure, which convenes n ex t spring. Relief of those in iso- lated sections of the Territory probably is the most import ant of all considerations, al- though so far. as known here no survey has been made to determine the status of these districts or the amount of help that may be necessary to sus- tain them during the next year.

World Gold Output Shows
 Marked Increase in 1881

The increased hunt for gold during the past year was re- flected in an estimated increase of more than a million ounces of the metal in 1881, as com pared to 1880, according to authoritative reports.
 Total world output for the year is placed at 21, 1,334,787 fine ounces, as compared with 20,200,000 in 1880.

Rhodesia's production was 541 ,447 ounc- es and that of Western Austal- ia 51O,570 ounces.
 Gold production in British Columbia increased 24.6 per cent in the first six months of 1882, as compared with the same period in 1881, with a to- tai of 91, 1000 ounces, as con- pared with 73,000 ounces in the first half of 1881.

Bank Dividend Over $15,000

With the completion of the first dividend payment of 50 percent authorized blythe Dist rict Court, the Bank of Hyder will have returned to it's de- positors S15,489.75 under the order signed by Judge Justin w. Harding, according to Jun eau reports. In addition, Re- ceiver E. D. Haddon was also directed to pay one preferred claim to the Hyder Postmaster for $1S1.51.
 In addition to these disburse- ments, bonds worth $15,000 deposited with the Territory of Alaska as security for de- posits of Territorial funds, were sold recently for a suffic- tent amount to reduce to S1,- 237.35 the claim of the Terri tory. Fifty per cent of this balance is covered by the divi- dend ordered paid to creditors.
 A statement rendered the court by Receiver Haddon of the assets still to be realized upon is said in the reports to consist largely of loans to rep utable business firms and in- dividuals and indicates that the creditors will be paid in full when the banks affairs are finally settled.

Premier Doing Flood
 Prevention Work on River

During the past few days the Premier Gold Mining Company has had a number of men engaged in installing a series of brush and timber jet ties to protect the tram towers located on the river flats in the vicinity of Fish Creek from the encroachments of Salmon River. The jetties extend from near the point where the old Salmon River road touches the present highway.
 The company is also said to be employing four or five To- cal men at repairing the tram towers at various points on the Alaska side of the boundary.

Alaska Publicity Still Needed

The abysmal ignorance con- corning Alaska that prevails among supposedly enlightened business houses in the States is glowingly examplified in the following reply from The Kolynos Company, of New Haven, Connecticut. to a re- quest for information concern ing one of their products made by a local resident It says: Dear Sir:
 The foreign busi- ness of the A. s. Boyle Comp any is supervised by this de- partment, so your recent in- quiry regarding Plastic Wood has been refererd to us. ' "We would like to take care of your request, but as ar engagements have already been made with
 Nobel Chemical Finishes, Ltd.
 Slough, Bucks, England. to handle entirely the Plastic Wood business in your count ry, we regret that it is imposs- ible for us to take any action on your inquiry.
 Thanking you for having written in, we remain
 Yours Very Truly,
 The Kolynos Company"

Jim Macdonald Hits Air
 Trail For Liard District

James F. Macdonald, form
 CT local restaurant operator
 and widely known oldtimer of
 the North, has forsaken the
 chatter of dishes, pots and pans
 and orders for "ham-an' <" for the more rugged life of the trail and the lure of virgin gold, according to a letter from him received this week
 by E. D. Haddon, receiver of the Bank of Hyder.
 This time, however, Jim, who passed over most of the old northern trails on "Shanks' pony" during his long career as prospector, is not doinp his stuff entirely to the tune of Tramp, tramp, tramp, the Boys are Marching" as in the good old days of '99. In setting out on his new quest for the golden fleece in the Liard Riv- CT district, Jim hit the air trail route. According to his let ter, Jim, who at last accounts was running a restaurant in Juneau, left the capital city for Atlin June 20th and pro ceeded from that point to his destination in the Liard by air plane, accompanied by an old partner of his earlier prospect ing days. The letter fails to state just where he is located in the wide-flung Liard dist rict or who the partner is. He said, however, that they are we'll financed and equipped TOT tnelf venture.
 Explaining his abandonment of the grub-serving business in Juneau, Jim wrote that he found that he had too many old friends there from Hyder who needed a meal ticket and he was unable to play the good Samaritan to all of them and meet the costs of doing busi- ness, so decided to listen to the call of the wild once more.
 During his stay in Atlin, Jim reports encountering John "Scotty' Thompson, who left here last March for that sect ion and who sent regards to local friends, to which Jim ap- pended his own.
 Whatever his faults may be, and they are mighty few, Jim Macdonald belongs to that oldItime breed of north-men who are ever ready to help friend, who never count the beans and always keep the latch-string on the outside of the door, and all who know him for the kind and generous soul that he is will wish him all possible good luck in his ven ture.
