FISH TRAPS By E. s HungerfOrd

Fish traps, as at present re- gulated and restricted, are a vio- lation to the code of the square deal-they are special privileges. AS such, a fair minded admins tration cannot support them.
 There are not to exceed two hundred bona flde resident Alas l;ans profiting by actual fish trap concessions, the other sixty y thousand are suffering unduly from this undue monopoly of fishing privileges.

 The U. s. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, has completed a manuscript report of Eureka and vicinity, in the Kantishna district, by Francis c. Wells. This mining district is about 90 miles west of Mckinley Park station on the Alaska Rail- road. The part of the district covered by this report comprises an area of about 72 square miles itl the form of a strip 6 miles wide and 12 miles long. Some years ago about 1900 tons of sulphite ore, most of which as- saved better than $157 a ton, with the major value in silver, then worth $1 an ounce, was mined and shipped. The work ings from which this ore was taken are now inaccessible. Of 104 samples taken from access sible quartz veins throughout the district the highest assay Was 3.74 ounces of gold and 6.41 ounces of silver.

 Recent reports from Alaska of
 the discovery of gold deposits on
 Copper River valued at $300,000, :
 GOO and rich ore in Nuka Bay, on
 which valuations as high as
 $5O,O00 per ton have been made,
 have developed considerable in
 terest in the gold possibilities of
 the territory. Inquiries have been
 received from persons in various
 sections of the East and from
 southern Florida, asking the advice of the Delegate as to whether they should seek for tune in the new fields. Whether the estimates of the probable valuations are or are not correct, at least the discovery of new
 gold deposits confirms the pre- dictions of the Geological Sur Ivey from a series of studies it
 has conducted on the mineral potentialities of Alaska. Gold has been the most valuable metal produced in Alaska during the past 30 years It is estimated that Ithe value of gold production has amounted to $398,659,000 while the next most valuable metal has been copper, which has a. mounted to $213,964,0O0. Silver production has totaled $11, ,994,- coo and coal $7,94O,000. AS re- Iported recently by the Geologic al Survey, gold production last |year led all other mineral and metal production and exceeded by $1,000,000 the production in 1880. The value of gold produced lin 1881 was $9,507,OOO. Greater interest has been centered on Ithe discovery of new gold de- pOsits in Alaska since the Geo. logical Survey published reports on it's studies of minerals in vari- ous areas. In 1881 Congress voted Sz50,000 to continue mineral studies in Alaska, and from the investigations under this appro- priation various studies have been issued from time to time and will continue to be made.

HOW AND WHERE { :.
 TO BUILD HOME
Practical Talk By Louis A. Walsh Before the
 UnicO Club
CONSULT ARCHITECT

Architect Louis A. Walsh in his address last evening to the Unico club stated that careful selection of a lot is as important as any other part in the building of a home. narrating many instances where people believed they were purchasing a lot very reasonable only to find it sloped-at a 45 de- gree angle and had ledge of rock. Tn cases like this it would be es- sential to put in a lot of extra foundations in the front of the home in order to. bring the front of the floor on a level with the back.
 The speaker advised all to con- suit an architect before buying a lot to build a home on and rec commended buying 1t in section that has all Improvements rather than where farm has just been cut up into building lots. In draw ing plans for a home 1t Is difficult to determine the owners idea or the sizes of the rooms he wants, but onse the data is obtained the arch itect draws the plans and orients the rooms so that they fit into the dimensions given and simultane- ously shape up into harmonious looking whole.
 In getting bids the Architect has proposal forms which itemize each feature of the building so that each bidder will bid on every- thing needed. The speaker also spoke of the difficulty of remodel ing an old house, stating many in- stances he has experienced in his itinerary as an architect.
