INCREASE: NOTED
IN BANK DEPOSITS
Fifth District Review Finds
Business Still Awaiting
Upward Swing.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, July 2.-Continued
'unsatisfactory" business conditions
during the period May Is to June Is in
the fifth Federal Reserve district was
reported today by the Fifth Federal Re-
serve Bank in its monthly review Of
credit, business and agricultural condi-
tions
Important Developments in banking
were noted, among them material in
crease in reserve bank purchases Of
Government securities with the aim of
counteracting liquidation, a seasonal
decline in Federal Reserve notes in cir
culation and an unusual increase in
member bank reserve balances at the
reserve bank.
Reserve Deposits Higher.
Among the regularly reporting mem
her banks in leading cities loans and
discounts declined during the past
month. but both demand and time de-
posits increased. These banks increased
their reserve deposits at the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond, and also
increased their investment in bonds.
Debts to individual accounts figures in
clearing house banks in the fifth dis
trict totaled nearly 7 per cent less in
the five weeks ended June Is than in
the preceding five weeks this year and
26 per cent less than the debts in the
corresponding period of last year.
The business failure record in May in
the fifth district was distinctly better
than the national record, the report
showed, in both number Of insolvencies
and the aggregate Of liabilities involved.
No improvement occurred in employ
ment circles in May and early June.
but on the contrary the ranks of unem-
ployed apparently increased further,
and additional concerns were forced to
reduce wages. Coal production declined
by more than the seasonal amount. due
partly to a strike in part of the bitumi-
nous field.
Cotton Prices Decline.
The textile industry in the district
restricted operations further, and in
some cases closed mills entirely. there
by adding to the unemployment prcb-
lem. Cotton prices declined below 5
cents per pound early in June, and
cotton consumption in May was much
lower than in May, 1881. Exports in
May, however, were larger than year
ago. Manufactured tobacco products
output which has held up longer than
any other line, has declined materially
during the past few months.
Prospects for agriculture this year
were reported as fair as to quantity, but
with little sign Of improvement in
prices. Acreage reduction in money
crops has net been sufficient to Offset
large surplus stocks. Except for Gov
ernment work in the District of Colum-
bia, there was little construction work
in the district Retail trade as reflect
ed in department store sales was II per
cent less in May than in May a year
ego and wholesale trade was reported
much behind the volume of a year ago.

GOLD STRIKE MADE
 ON GAK0NA RIVER

A placer strike, which gives prom ise of being of considerable magni- tude. is reported from the upper Gakona River district, and poke of ten or twelve ounces of dust and nuggets, some of which run a dol lar or better, give confirmation to the report.
 News of the strike was brought to Valdez by Frank H. Foster and Charles H. (Moose) Johnson, who returned Thursday from Fairbanks over the Richardson Highway. They said that at the Gakona Roadhouse they had been shown poke of dust left there by the discoverer, who had been there the day before, and had returned to the find. The dis covery is said to have been made on Alder Creek at the extreme head of the Gakona River, by man of the name of French, who was confi- dent he had struck bonanza. French sent word Of the strike to James Lyons, of the Paxson Road house, and he and another man left [ the next day with pack horses for the new discovery.
 Alder Creek, it is said, was visit ed in the early days by prospeetors, and some gold was found there. but little prospecting was done. French is said to have been prospecting in the district for several months, and the gold brought out is the result of his pannings. The gold is said to be very bright, remarkably like that from the Slate Creek diggings. from which the new strike is not far distant.-Valdez Miner

CIRCLE DISTRICT ENJOYS
 REVIVAL PLACER MINING

The building of the Steesa high way, with consequent lowering Of transportation costs, reports the Anchorage Times, has brought about a revival of placer mining in the Circle district and the oldtimers there are enjoying greater content ment than ever before in the history of that pioneer camp, according to Jack Kinnaley, who visited the old diggings this month, after an ab- sence of a great many years. He was there in the very early days, when nothing short of bonanza ground could be worked because of the high cost of grub and the diff faculties of transportation.
 But while the Circle City has lost much of the old pep, the gold pro ducing streams which gained fame in the pioneer days of that district, are staging a remarkable comeback, and for several reasons. Gold is worth lot more today than it once was, in purchasing power mining methods have greatly improved i; good roads make it possible to ob- tain supplies at low cost, and min CTS are getting some real enjoyment along with their work.
 When MT. Kinnaley left Fair banks to have a look at the old camp over toward the Yukon, he had visions of having a time of it finding his way over the old trails He went first to Circle hot springs to gather strength at that splen-

The unfortunate drowning of Oren F. Hill, postmaster at Hyder, made necessary the appointment of an acting postmaster, and the pa irons of the office were almost unanimous in recommending the widow, Loretta c. Hill, who had been assistant postmaster. Delegate Wickersham secured the appoint ment of Mrs. Hill and was given assurance by the Postmaster Gen eral that when Congress convened her name would be sent to the Sen ate for confirmation as permanent postmaster. as this is a Presidential office and confirmation is required by the Senate.

did resort for his roundup of old there when friends out on one Q, ths creeks having heard of his arrival, informed him by telephone that they were coming after him. And soon they arrived with an automo- bile, much to his amazement, and chugged him off in the dark to a celebration which had been arrang- ed in his honor. There was a fairly good road part of the way up the creek and where there wasn't they drove over old tailing piles.
 Miners Live Comfortably
 Good cabins have replaced the crude structures which were built in the old days and the miners now have all the comforts of home, in- cluding radios which bring them en- tertainment and news from all over the world.
 Joe Ulmer is working in Inde- pendence Creek and is doing very well. Ed Bartlett, another well known oldtimer of the interior, also is operating in the camp, having stripped large block of ground preparatory to active mining next season. And there are numerous oth- CTS working in a small way, taking out enough gold to enable them to live very comfortably with the aid of the game which abounds in the 1 district There are upwards of 100 men scattered over the camp and, as Mir. Kinnaley puts it, "they are sitting on top of the world" with all the grub they need for winter and a little gold left over for emer- gency. Unemployment does not mean anything to them because they would mt take a job if it were of fered to them. One of the miners picked up nugget worth more than $200 during the summer and an oldtimer there who had held on to his ground since 1895, without do- ing a great deal of work on it sold it for $15,000 recently.
 Caribou Migration
 The annual migration of caribou was under way while Mr. Kinnaley was in the interior, and he saw great stacks of meat at Circle, rep resenting the native kill The ma tives and their dogs were actually gorged, having eaten all they could of the meat before starting on the job of storing it away for winter.

 The increasing demand for de- sinable belts and their ever-deOEeas- ing wild supply are producing a condition that would be even moro alarming were it not for the demon- stratedl possibilities of propagating fur animals in captivity. Fur farm ing is now on a substantial basis, and because of rapidly changing conditions it is destined to have an even wider scope and to attract increased interest. Affording the surest means of supplementing the diminishing production of furs in the wild, it is certain to be success full.
