 The Bidding
 South, the dealer, bids one spade. This suits West and he should pass. North will overcall with two clubs, which East will pass.
 Most players with the South hand will bid two or three spades If you bid two spades, remember it Is possible for your partner to pass. If you bid three spades, he will immediately decide that if you have a side suit 1t is not strong enough to bid. Therefore, if it is later proven that that is the suit at which the hand should be played, he will fail to support it. The correct hiddnig after North's 1.-two clubs is for South to bid two hearts. This Is a constructive bid and practically demands @ further bid from partner. North will inn mediately respond with three hearts.
 South can now re-bid his spades | to show his partner that he much prefers the spade suit. but North will immediately go to four hearts and that is where the hand should be played.
 | By proceeding in this manner with the bidding you are definitely certain that you are in the right spot. If you bid the other way one spade, two clubs, three spades partner will bid four clubs. and now when you bid four hearts. he is really at loss to know what to do.
 He may believe ,tisat you are try ing for a slam, and as long as he | Is at a guess, he should pass. But why put your partner to guess when by sound constructive bid ding you can exchange safe and

PRODUCTION OF ALASKAN MINES !
 FALLS SLIGHTLY
OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTER WITH MORE MEN IN THE PLACER
 FIELD

Gold production in Alaska for the year 1882 was S9,539,000, an in crease of $32,C00 over that of 1881, according to report of the United States Geological Survey, Just iSSu- ed. Of this A per cent was pro- duced from lodes, principal among which was the Alaska Juneau and rst-Chichagoff, and 56 percent came from placers, estimated to be valued at $5,312,00O, or about S470,- 900 more than was recovered from placers in 1881.
 Approximately 30 per cent of this production came from the Yukon region, with the remainder of the Territory contributing the remain ing 20 per cent. The Fairbanks Exploration Company led the list, with Nome following, and the re- mainder contributor by Cook Inlet, Susitna, KuskokWim, Copper River.
 Eighty-one per cent of the pla- cer gold was recovered by dredges, and was essentially the same as in 1881. Twenty-four dredges partic- ipated in this recovery,on an aver age of S321 ,939.68 per dredge.
 COAL SHOWS LOSS
 Copper showed production of only $531 ,000, a loss of S1, 1,346,0OO for the year, due to the slump in price of copper and cessation of operations.
 Silver showed a slump to S73,000 as against a production of 102,00O in 1891, loss of S29,000, also due to the low price of silver as this is a by-product of gold mining.
 Coal showed a loss of S21 900, on a production of S535,00O as against S556,OO in 1881.
 Other minerals showed a gain of $24,000 on a production of S26O0OO in 1882 as against $236,000 in 1881. This was divided between plati- mum, petroleum, tin and marble.
 The small margin of 19 per cent of placer production by other than dredges indicates the general le- thargy on the part of the prospec- tor in seeking this method of earn ing a livelihood.
 NEW DISCOVERIES
 As pointed out by the Geological Survey there are no indications of material additions to the dredging fleet in 1933. Hence the increased production, if any, must come from lode mining and hand placer.
 In this latter respect, the outlook is brighter than for many years owing to the new discoveries of quartz and the lowering of the costs of commodities.
 The prospector can now obtain his grubstake for approximately 50 per cent less than two years ago, and thus his gold carries a value of 50 per cent more than for many years following the war.
 The outlook is that next spring will see quadruple the number of men sniping than during the pre- vious year, not considering the pos abilities of new discoveries, which are altogether probable gauged by the increased interest in the sub ject of mining.
 As it is, the fact that Alaska end ed the year with a gain instead of a loss in it's chief commodity is in itself encouraging.
 The surveys comparison of the mineral production for the past two years follows:
 1882 1881 Gold ............. 9.589,OOO S9.5O7O0O
