The Storekeepers.

Those of us who are past mid dle age can remember when the kindly neighbor whose job it was to sell the necessities of life was known as store keep CT. The name was quite appro- priate. He bought stock of goods, hung out his sign, some, times, and waited for his neighbors and friends to drop in and buy.
 Later on his son inherited the business, if it had not gone to the wall, adopted a slightly more aggressive attitude to- ward the securing of trade, and called himself a merchant. Here and there venturesome soul began to really study bus mess methods and actually plan for greater volume and a wider trade radius. Some be- came real business men and reaped rich rewards.
 Later still, the department store and mail order houses came into existence, recently followed by the chain stores, which now seem to menace the small merchant, an d even threaten to drive him out of business.
 In spite of these revolution ary developments, however, thousands of independent mer- chants are making money to- day. They are doing it through adopting scientific methods of buying and selling, through the employment Of systematic ac- counting, through study of their customers requirements, and through advertising.
 But a great many scorn such newfangled ideas, and stay in the rut in which their fore fathers ran their course. They are headed for bankruptcy and don't know why. But to any one with a fundamental know ledge of modern business prac aices the reason is plain. These failures are not business men, nor even merchants-they are only storekeepers.

cludes petroleum, platinum metals, limestone, etc.
 The decrease in the value of the total mineral production of Alaska in 1882 as compared with 1881, as shown above, was about five per cent. To persons familiar with the general business situa tion through out the world so small a decrease demonstrates the fundamentally sound condition of the mining in dustry in the Territory.
 To those less familiar with gen. eral conditions it may be stated that comparison of the average selling price of three of the com- mon metals that contribute to the mineral output of the Territory copper, lead, and silver-S h rowe d that prices received in 1892 were, respectively, 76, 83, and 97 per cent of the prices for the same metals in 1881, or only 36, 48, and 49 per cent of the prices received in 1929.
 It was not the direct effects of the decrease in the selling price of those metals, however, that has caused the drop in mineral produc- tiOn, so much as their indirect and less obvious effect in deterring operators from opening up new properties or maintaining even a normal rate of output from many of the mines already producing.
 There was, of course, no change in the unit price of gold, and this very stability, when compared with the decreases in price of most of the other commodities, stimulated the output of this metal, and as result there was very large in- crease in the gold production of Alaska. In fact, the output of gold from the Territory in 1882 was greater than it had been for any other year since 1917.
 Coal to the value of S513,5O0 was produced in 1882 from Alaska coal mines. This marked a decrease in both quantity and value, but the output of the year 1O2, 700 tons, has in only five years in the entire period that coal mining has been in progress in Alaska. No Alaska coal is exported, but 28,422 tons was imported.
