DREDGE PRODUCTION

Together these dredges produced gold to the value of $6,725,000. They are estimated to have handled about 10, O,445, 900 cubic yards of gravel, and the gold recovered was worth about GA cents a cubic yard. Construction of four new dredges was begun dur ing the year, but only one was fin ished early enough to yield any not able amount of gold during the season. Six old dredges that had been idle for some time were again active in 1884 One dredge that was active in 1893 was idle in 1884.
 SILVER
 None of the Alaska ores are min ed solely for their silver content In the past most of the silver has been recovered as a minor consti- tuent from the copper ores, but the cessation sine 1883 of extensive cop per mining cut off this source of supply. Some silver, however, is obtained as a by-product from the lodes in which the principal valu- able metal is gold, and some silver is also recovered from the bullion and dust produced from the gold placers. In 1884 silver to the value of about $76,440 came from the gold lode mines and about $23,560 from the placer mines, the total 154,700 ounces having value of about $100- 900. The quantity of silver from | the gold-lode mines showed mark ed decrease, though that from the placers showed an increase over 1883. The higher selling price in 1894 made the value of the silver derived from both the gold placers and the lodes much more than in the preceding year.

COPPER

The very low price of copper, which in 1883 led to the suspension of mining at the large copper min es of the Territory still exercised such a deterrent effect that these mines remained closed throughout 1884 also. Although these princi- pal mines were idle it by no means indicates that their deposits have been exhausted. Indeed, the shafts and other underground openings, as well as the surface plants and equip ment are kept in good standby con- dition, and small crews are retained to keep up the necessary mainten- ance work. The only copper pro- duced from Alaska ores in 1884 was recovered as a by-product of ores whose principal value lay in other metals, notably gold and is estimated as 121,000 pounds, valued at $9,7OO.,

STOCKYARDS RATES

THE Supreme Court this term will take up again
the venerable but still fiery issue of valuation
This has been the central point in so years of
litigation over utility rates, involving nearly every
community in the land The rate of return the
basis upon which it should be computed the rate
Of depreciation to be allowed and many other fac
tors are involved
The court has just agreed to hear arguments,
probably in January, on an appeal by the St.
Joseph Stock Yards Co.. attacking the validity Of
an order by the Secretary of Agriculture substan-
italy reducing the rates it charges farmers and
stocknen for services.
This order issued in May 1884 under the Pack
ers and Stockyards Act of 1921, was based on find
ing OF valuation which the company challenges.
The company brought injunction suit, but a
th1ee-judge Federal court dismissed it last June
at Kansas City
The Agriculture Departments Jurisdiction over
sockyards rates is practically parallel with that of
the Interstate Commerce Commission over rail
road valuations and rates-which were at issue in
the OFallon bllllOn-d dollar valuation case of a few
years ago, and many other utility cases involving
he power OF state bodies to fix reasonable" rates.
These due process" cases in the past have pro-
Vlded the principal index to liberal conservative
sentiment among the nine justices. In all of them
the legal basis of complaint by the company was

HOLDING COMPANIES

IF the Holding Company Act is not constitutional
then political power is not co-eXtenSve with
economic power and the nation is helpless before
the depredations of powerful and lawless economic
power" the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the Department of Justice argue in brief just
filed in the American States Public Service Co. case
in Baltimore.
Trustees and creditors of the company, assisted
by the Edison Electric Institute, are trying to get
decision on the acts constitutionality before the
deadline for registration of holding companies
The government, though not party to the suit,
and though it is record as believing the case is
not proper test has filed one brief on the specific
issues raised by the suit, and second one on con-
stitutionality of the act
The second brief points out that Congress has
made the holding company illegal in the District of
Columbia. 1t adds
Certainly Congress may provide that some of
the considerations underlying the policy it prescrbes
for the District of Columbia should be followed when
the corporate form is used for the conduct of bust
activities through the Federal channels of
communication and intercourse by companies whose
subsidiary operations, because of their legalized
monopoly are not subject to the normal restraints of
competition
The dangers of the holding company form and
Il
holding company form in the utility field such
to justify the exercise by Congress of virtually the
same power over utility holding companies in inter-
state commerce using the mails as it has over
situations involving fraud deceit, monopoly to
which Congress has exercised and the Supreme
Court has sustained the widest measure of prohibi-
ton and control"
THE brief points out that of the provisions in
the act violently objected to by John W. Davis
counsel for Edison Electric Institute and for DR..
Lautenbach, the Baltimore dentist who didn't know
he suing or that Mr. Davis was his attorney I'M
til he learned it in court was actually inserted in
companies.
The provision has to do with house-to-house ped
ding OF holding company securities.
This very provision whose purpose counsel for
petitioner Lautenbach ridicules and whose con-
stutionalty he attacks, says the brief not in
the original bill introduced liz Congress. 1t was
inserted a result of suggestions formally made to
Congress by highly responsible executives of utility
companies which are members of counsel's client.
the Edison Electric Institute"
The brief emphasizes that the act does not strike
at 'bgnesS in business where bignesS can be eco
nomcaly justified" 1t adds:
The criterion of size under the act is its rela-
ton and contribution to the efficiency of operation of
integrated utility system The proper criterion
of size Is however, matter for legislative not
judicial, determination"

Bruce Cations review of Sin

OIL FOR THE LAMPS OF MARS

Every day, however, Roman legions are battering
their way deeper into the kingdom of Halle seassie
viii the one stop the other? Will the Leagues
economic sanctions defeat the territorial ambitions

Britain, says no

says, and friends Of the League should not dismiss
his remarks as mere oratory.
The Leagues life as the worlds major peace
agency is at stake. The next few weeks or months
may tell the tale. And yet, says Lloyd George:
We are supplying Italy with oil through the
Anglo-Persian Oil Co., in which the British govern
ment are shareholders. The Anglo-Persisn com
pany says: If we do not sell to Italy the United
States willp"
Which may be very true. Perhaps Standard Oil
would be glad get the contracts But at this crucial
hour that is hardly the point Great Britain right
now is inviting the United States, Germany and
Japan, as on-members to support League sanctions
She should take extra care therefore, to see that
her own hands do not smell of oil or other profits
1t is not merely non-member states which today
threaten to nullify the effect of sanctions Each
member of the League is watching all the Others
Failure of any important member likely will be the
signal for the others to say: If we don't sell to
Italy, somebody else will"
The Soviet Union, League member through its
foreign commissar Maxim Litvinoff, already has
gone on record intimating that such will be it's
policy. Russia, warned Litvinof will watch what
happens. For his country will be a big loser if 1t
sewers trade relations with Italy.
The peril to the League is very clear.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
- BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Us it wrong tor married woman to frt?" asks
young wife
Wrong, should say, and decidedly dangerous,
even though 1t seems to be popular diversion these
days But then SO is divorce popular diversion.
Let's look first at the arguments against it. To be
exact flirting is form of disloyalty and is therefore
precarous occupation for the woman who wants
her marriage to succeed Also it's bad habit which
ike other bad habits can take hold upon the indi-
Ndual with tentacles strong those of an octopus
WHAT'S more 1t is sin against love-a grievous sin
SO long as complete trust is the first principle
OF happy marriage-which hardly be denied
then Alrtations must come under the head of dam
gerouS pastmes because they desroyers of trust
The small thrills, the occasional excitements you
may get from them will never compensate for the
loss OF your husbands faith in you, for the
greater ill-the destruction of your own integrity
The f1irt may be the breaker of other peoples

patton but she is frequently the breaker of her
lie pulling her house down upon her foolish
mead. From supposedly harmless person who en-
JOYS playing around with one man after another, she
generally becomes vacilating, unstable, discon-
tented middle-aged woman whom no one trusts, and
who trusts no one

be SO good as his bond, something tainted and evil
crept into our world. A broken promise here

matter, We say.
Well they matter so much that all together they
car destroy ambition. our faith in men, our hope
in the future and the possibility for decent social
order for children. 1t is dreadful to be able
to trust Others but it is more dreadful to
be able to trust oneself. firt ever can.

ing OF the Constitution was only the
first step out Of monarchy, the be-

decide that, once in Scripture, the
Constitution must be modified and

DOCTOR" GETS A ROASTING
IN THIS LETTER

By Reader
The party who signs himself Doc
tor" i'll The Times of Oct. 26 is all
wrong and he knows it.
China did not belong to the
League of Nations, and Japan had
left the League when they took
Manchuria; therefore, the League
of Nations was to leave China and
Japan alone and mind It's own bust
ness, which is to look out for the
interest of those nations belonging
to the League. Get that?
He says the United States made
forceful protest, with soldiers, sail
ors and marines. I say they did
not. and the altruistic English, as
he calls them. knew how to mind
their own business.
Honor is virtue of the English
With honor they put their con
temptible little army" in Belgium
when the Germans invaded Bel
GUM.
England and Ethiopia each belong
TO the League; therefore, English
honor and English justice will de-
fend a fellow member. That's Eng
lands business and she will take
care of that.
Had the French acted as England
did at the beginning of the Italian
Ethiopian trouble, the italians
never would have started it.

vice, as it is misleading. You are
either a German or Italian. How
would you like to have some of that
honorable English blood in youl
veins like the writer?

air, together with a small amount
Of mineral ash. All these become
