MEMORIAL PLANNED
 FOR GEN. RICHARDSON

A copper plaque bearing the likeness of Brigadier General Wilds P. Richardson, and also tribute to him as a road builder, will be erected soon on the famous Richardson High way as a memorial to Alaska's pioneer road builder, to whom, more than any other individual is due the Territory's splendid road system.
 The memorial was cast after a design by the famous sculp- tor James A. Wehn and cost more than $1,000, according to the Juneau Empire, which states that funds for the mem- orial were gathered by an or ganization known as the Gen. eral Richardson Memorial, formed more than two years ago by friends of the popular Army officer. Governor Parks is president of the association, John w. Troy, vice-president, and B. M. Behrends, treasurer. Most of the money was contrib uted by Alaskans.
 The plaque, which will be placed on a large boulder at some as yet unselected point on Richardson Highway, is 28 inches high and 19 inches wide. The inscription reads: "Wilds P. Richardson, Brigadier Gen. eral, United States Army, Alas ka's Pioneer Road Builder. Erected by Friends in Appreci- ation of His Services for Alas ka, 1882.

1881 MINERAL

Mines in Alaska produced minerals worth $12,278,00 in 1881, as against $12,812,000 in 1880, according to an an- nounoement by the Geological Survey. The total value of the mineral output of the Territory since 1880 is 641,591,000, the announcement states.

$12,278,OO0


 There was a substantial in- crease in the value of the gold output over 1880, when the output was $S,476,00, but de- crease in the value of other mineral commodities, notably copper, which declined from $9,244,600 in 1880.
 The decrease is interpreted as being due not only to very low crices for metals, such as cop per, silver, aft. lead, but also to the deterl an; effects of the low prices in discouraging the undertaking of new enterprises and dissuadinp operators from making even aa large an out put as they ordinarily would from the mines already operat- ing.
 The output of gold was dis trihIted between lodes and piaccrs approximately in the preparations of 49 to 51-$4,- 665, ,000 from lodes and $4, 842,000 from placers. More than 82 per cent of the output came from lodes in southeast ern Alaska. More than TT per cent of the placer production was mined by dredges, of which 28 were in operation. Gold recovered by dredges was worth about 36.7 cents a cub ic yard.
 The copper output was 22,- 614,0OO pounds, or nearly 10.- 100000 pounds less than in 1880, and it's value was nearly S2,367,000 less than in 193n. Practically all of the copper came from the two mines of the Kennecott Copper Corpor- ation in the Copper River reg ion.
 Silver valued at $56,200 was recovered from the copper ores in 1881, and $37,600 from gold lode ores, while placer gold contributed an additional al 8,200. The total was 352, 900 ounces, having a value of $102,000. This was a graat falling off from 1880, which is attributable to the lower sell ing price of silver and to the decreased output of copper ores. In reality the decrease in quantity was only about 14 per cent, whereas the price of Continued on Page

Oldfield still looks a lot younger than his 50-odd year But lot Of things have happened since he quit the spotlight, including the doubling of the speed record that was considered almost miraculous when Barney was in his prime.
 Malcom Campbell himself has added more than 100 miles an hour to the speed record in seven short years.
 The Britons first worlds record run was at 150.766 in 1925 in a Sunbeam machine. With a Napier Campbell creation he boosted the mark to 174224 in 1927. The late Sir H. o. D. Segrave shot the fig ure up to 2o3.790 few weeks later, but Campbell came back to Daytona in 1928 to make it 206.956.
 Segrave once more took the hon. DTS in 1929 when he piloted his machine 231.362 m.p.h. on the fa- nous Florida sands. Two years elapsed before Campbell regained the speed crown and he has now showed it up number of notches to safeguard the situation against the attacks of Wizard Smith for the time being.

Sir Malcom Campbell, the slim, quiet British speed king, has a way of getting at his destination successfully as well as quite rapi- dly.
 Sir Malcom is the only living driver who has broken his own worlds speed record. His latest achievement in roaring along Day. tona Beach at 254 miles per hour better than four miles minute marks his fifth worlds record run in seven years.
 He had already set the mark well beyond anything ever achieved be- fore in land speed when he did 245 m.ph. a year ago But when the Scot heard Wizard" Smith was tuning up on Ninety Mile Beach for a record attempt, he became lit tie apprehensive, forwith decided to make a quick trip to the United States and gained his objective, with very little ballyhoo.
 Campbell, as you may have mo- ticed doesn't like to waste time on anything he wants to do,' remarked Bill Sturn, the drivers able Ameri- can representative.
 sI don't mean that he is nasty or tempermental. He concentrates on the job in hand and goes about it with the quickest possible dis patch. His attitude toward the risks is typical. He dismisses the whole idea as not worth discussing. AS he has said, What difference does it make whether you crack up going 15O or 250 miles an hour?' :"
 Barney Longs for Wheel
 Barney Oldfield, who was at Daytona Beach to watch Camp bells run, talks about getting be- hind the wheel of a new Miller speed creation next year for an attempt to bring the record back to America.
 I do not doubt Barney's willing ness or desire to take another chance at the spot where in 1910 he hit new high" of 131 miles per hour in his famous Blitzen Benz. It would be great story if he should make a comeback and set a new record Is years after retiring from active race-driving.

COUGARS TO POINT
 FOUR TRACK STARS
 FOR 1882 OLYMPICS

PULLMAN, Wash, March 16.- Washington State College holds high Olympic hopes for a quartet of athletes who have gained fame in intersectional competition.
 They are Paul Swift, sprinter; i; Homer Hein, javelin; George Theo- doratus, shot put, and Kenneth Wills, mile runner.
 Swift secured national recogni- tion last year when he won the Kansas relays 100-yard dash in 95 seconds to equal the recognized worlds record for the event.
 Hein won the Drake relays jave- lin tossing contest last year, and consistently has thrown the spear over the 200 foot mark. His best recorded mark is POS feet.
 Theodoratus' rise in competition was rapid last year, reaching cli- max at the Vancouver, B. C., inter national meet when he heaved the shot 50 feet, Az inches.
 Wills, a junior, runs the mile under APO.
 All four have shown consistent improvement. They plan to point to the Olympics during the season.
