 In all the computations of value the average selling prices for the year have been used rather than the prices actually received by the producers. Furthermore, the quan- titles mentioned in this statement relate to production and not to sales, shipments, or some other perhaps equally significant basis by which the industry might be gagged.
 Prosperous Year
 The increase of nearly $3,400,00 in the value of the mineral con- modities produced by Alaska mines in 1897 is of itself good indication that the industry enjoyed a pros porous year. That this high produc- tion, which has been exceeded in only four years since mining began in the Territory, was not due to any temporary cause or to com- bination of favorable factors that are not likely soon to be repeated is clearly shown by the fact that none of the large mines that were operating in 1887, except certain of the copper mines, has given any indication of having nearly reached the peak of potential production. Then, too, adverse as well as fav- orable factors affected the industry in such ways that their combined effects, although on the whole fay- orable, were not so overwhelming that they made the year for from normal. Among the adverse factors may be noted the continuation of the shipping strike that began in the preceding October, lasted into the early months of 1937 and not only directly affected transportation to and from Alaska during that period but led to abandonment or postponing of some mining plans that had been in contemplation for the season; the general business uncertainty and recession, whi c h made it difficult to start new enter prises or to make extensive com- mitments far ahead of restricted needs on old prospects; and the recently levied Territorial tax on all mining operations, with it's especial

 Incredible tales of profusion of swimming gold are included in the report of fishermen.

 Fish have choked the nets.

PLANE FLOWN IS
 OF OLD VINTAGE
Leaves New York Sunday Morning In Emerald
 Isle Early Today

DUBLIN, Ireland, July 18.-Doug- las Corrigan, 31, American flier who took off from New York at AIT o'clock Sunday morning, East ern Standard Time, on a flight to California" dropped unheralded from the skies at Baldonnel, Ire land, today.
 The flier made the flight in an antiquated single motored plane of the vintage of Col. Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, in 28 hours and 13 minutes. He landed at 8:30 am. today, Eastern Standard Time.
 Corrigan, last year, was refused a United States permit to attempt a transatlantic flight hop to Ire land.
 Nothing was heard from him in New York since he hopped off for California. He had no radio and only the barest navigating instru- mentS.
 Seven others have hopped the Atlantic successfully, solo flights.
 The plane taXied across the field, wheezed, snorted and then stopped.
 The grinning pilot climbed out.
 "I am Douglas Corrigan. Just got in from New York. By the way where am I?" he asked mem- gers of the gathering Irish crowd.
 When informed he was in Ire land, Corrigan said:
 Really, now, I thought I was heading for California Not until I saw mountains did I realize was not in California and wondered where I was"
 Corrigan said he had good wealth CT for the entire flight and flew above the clouds. He had no land ing papers.
 United States Minister John Cud ahy sent a car to the airport for the flier as soon as he learned of Corrigan's arrival

munity or longevity. It would be more significant to know how long the young man can hold his breath His chest expansion is two or three times greatr than that of the ordi- nary healthy young man or even well trained athlete. I'd like to wager he can't hold his breath half again as long as the average normal man can.
 A healthy person, sitting at rest, without preparation, should be able to take a moderately full breath and hold it without difficulty for forty seconds. If the breaking point is much shorter than 40 seconds, the individual needs the attention of physician. With preparation, that is, by first taking dozen moderately deeper breaths but without strain ing at all, healthy person should be able to hold his or her breath from 1 1-2 to 2 minutes. One who first takes half dozen or more full breaths of pure oxygen can hold his breath immediately afterward for several minutes. Some students breathed pure oxygen for a few min- utes and then held their breath over 13 minutes.
 The breath-holding time is bet ter test of physical fitness or condi- ton than is the chest measurement of vital capacity. Vital capacity is the amount of air one can breathe out after the deepest possible inspir- ation, as measured by the spiro- meter, form of gasometer adapted for the purpose. The average vital capacity of men is little less than 8 gallon, and that of women is half a pint less than that of men. The reason why breath-h holding is the best index of fitness or condition is because it depends on the efficiency of the internal respiration, that is, the capacity of the circulation to carry the blood, and the capacity of the circulation to carry the blood, and the capacity of the cells of the body to use the oxygen and ex- change their load of carbon dioxide for it. In other words breath-hold- ing is gauge of metabolism.
 Freak physical cluture systems or methods involving exercises of effort, such as lifting heavy weights, over- develop the sekeltal muscles, but such hypertrophied muscles become parasites on vitality which is sapped for their nourishment. The ill-ad- vised course of training fails to de- velop constitutional vigor at the same time, fails to train the heart and the circulation to cope with in- creased demands for oxygen and for fuel, invites early physical breakdown and prematurely senility or death.
 Sound physical training, or per- haps we should say physical educa- tion, develops constitutional vigor, promotes physical efficiency and longevity.
