Auto Financing Increasing.

A notable increase in the volume OF
business done by automobile finance
companies in the Capital is indicated
by the annual report of General Credit,
inc, which, according to President A.
Burks Summers, did so per cent more
business than in the preceding year.
"a survey Of credits indicates, he said,
that many automobile purchasers have
come to Washington within the last
three years and have secured steady
positions in the District of Columbia,
enabling them to purchase an auto
mobile which for many of them is
their first car.
Another factor in the increased busi-
ness in this line is accounted for by
Mr.. Summers in the reduction in
finance rates as applied to both new
and used cars, making it easier for
the retail purchaser to buy and pay
for car. The company's records in
dicate that during the year just closed
there was a IA per cent increase on
outstanding balances of used cars and
q per cent increase on the new cars,
indicating that the public is buying

 aska mines in 1886 was more than double that in 1885. The large in- crease should not be considered a favorable sign, because the more rapid the extraction of the ore the sooner the known deposits will be exhausted. Already the management of the principal cop per mines have determined the presumable reserves of ore at their Alaskan properties, and from that knowledge they forecast only a short life ahead of any of the mines. The Alaska copper pro- duction in 1886 came from mines near Kennecott, in the Copper Riv CT region, together with smaller mines from whose ores copper is recovered as a by-product. These mines yielded 39,267 ,0O0 pounds of copper, having value of $3,72O,0OO. Among the districts whose lode mines yield princi- pally gold but which furnished concentrates from which some cop per was obtained are the Nabes- ma district of the Yukon region, and the Ketchikan district of southeastern Alaska.

WRECKAGE OF

LAKEHURST, N. j., May IA
G.N.S0 Black, twisted frame
work Of the German dirigible
Hindenburg met the eyes today
of its designer, DR.. Hugo Eckener,
who arrived here as head Of the
German commission to investi-
gate the crash which took IS
lives.
One of his first acts was COM
plete examination of the wreck
age. He also conferred with
members of the Department Of
! Commerce board of inquiry which
is seeking cause of the disaster.
While DR.. Eckener and his Ger
man colleagues will make an in
dependent investigation, they will
accept findings of American in
veStigations underway, the dirigi-
Bile expert said.
DR.. Eckener was reluctant to
discuss possible cause of the crash
but conceded that only if def
mite clues point to sabotage would
we accept such a conclusion"
Despite the Hindenburg's tragic
end the designers faith in Zeppe-
lin service over the North Atlantic
remains mistaken. He is conf.
dent that it can be put on a safe
basis with American participation.
When the United States, which
has monopoly on heliun, joins
in establishment of a regular trans
atlantic dirigible service, more of
the noninflammable gas will be
produced, DR.. Eckener believes.
Then, he thinks, it will become
cheaper and more easily available
for all ZeppelinS.

pertS and survivors for three days,

director of the Air Commerce
