 Fishing Possibilities
 A potential industry for this sec tion of Alaska is fishing Herring is being packed in a limited way at Golovin Bay, 80 miles east of Nome. and large quantities of salmon are caught and dried each season by the Eskimos for food for themselves and their faithful sled dogs. There are five species of salmon found in the waters off Nome. Crabs are caught each winter through the ice. Halibut and cod banks are close by. An important industry awaits de- velopment

Until the planes advent, mining men who spent the winters in the States came in to Nome on the first boats. Min ing. did not begin until July In the fall, operations, generally speaking, ceased prior to the departure of the

Will be ln operation tnlS cOillIlS Sea- son.
 Haycock Producing
 At Haycock, one of the SteadleSt producing small mining camps in Alaska, especially at winter mining, about ten outfits are taking out winter dumps. Wallace Porters dredge has been working on Dime Creek for years and still has ground enough left for 20 years.
 Over at Ungalic on Norton Bay the Ungalic Syndicates dredge ln- stalled two years ago has been very successful. Frank Shaw who op- crates dredge close by is rebuild ing his and looks forward to many more seasons of profitable mining.
 Without question, the development of tin mining at York and Tin City, a few miles northwest of Nome, is coming into it's own. Modern gas and diesel mechanical shovels of two and three yards capacity are used in the digging of placer tin in those localities. Dump trucks carry the concentrates to the shore of Boring Sea, where they are washed and consolidated for shipment to Singapore for smelling It is to be hoped that a smelter will be placed in the United States, preferably on the West Coast. It is a costly method to mine tin in northwestern Alaska, then be forced to ship the ore for treatment all the way to Singapore, Malay Peninsula Straits Settlement via Seattle.
 Rare Tin Deposits
 The development of this industry is particularly a progressive step when it is realized that in this sec tion are the only established tin deposits on the North American con- tinent, and the United States has for years been importing all the tin which is required in industry.
 While not generally known, all of the wealth in the Nome country is not sprlinkled in the earth in the form of gold, for we have throughout this northwestern sec ton of Alaska many thousands of domesticated reindeer No one, aware of the facts, disagrees with the statement that the most con- structive action ever taken for the benefit of the native people was making it possible for them to &C., quire reindeer.
 As other means of obtaining food and clothing have gradually grown uncertain, perhaps through too much education and consequent aping of the white mans ways, the possess sion of herds of these animals has made possible an ordered existence for a great many of the people in ligenous to Northwestern Alaska Without this resource. many of our native people, during the past few ears, would have become a direct

dredges as well as conducting each season several large hydraulic op- erations. This company hires ap- proximately 200 men during the mining season, and most of the year carries on drilling, cold water thaw- ing. and other allied pursuits in preparing ground ahead for the dredges.
 Council District
 Tn the Council section five dredg- eS are steadily operating, producing their share of the golden harvest. It may be interesting to know that gold was discovered on Ophir Creek, Council District, before the Nome discovery was made. Council IS only 45 miles airline from Nome.
 The Solomon River section, 30 miles east of Nome, has long been great producer. Lee Bros. are operating two dredges along this river and contemplate adding a third one next season.
 The Casa de Pago district, 35 miles inland from the coast and directly back of Solomon, lost it's last dredge when Stewart Bros moved their small dredge cross country to Mon- ument Creek close by Nome, where they have operated for the past two seasons. The Casa de Pago re- zion is fine big mineralized coun- try and but for the lack of adequate transportation facilities would have several dozen outfits mining and prospecting Last season Harry Langley was the only operator in this section, hydraulicking on Will low Creek.
 Immachuk River
 The Immachuk River is apparently about to prove the faith that many have had in this section for many years. The Fosgren dredge has been doing very well for the past six or seven years, and with the addition of the two Bellview dredges pro- duction will be greatly increased this coming season. Close by, on the Kuguruk River, Carl Thiele, ex-Sec- retary of Alaska and Wrangell can- neryman, has been drilling for the past year. Next Spring will see the installation of hydraulic lift mod- elled after the celebrated one in- vented by Pete Miscovich and used so successfully by him at Flat.
 Up at K.iana, north and east of Kotzebue, quite a group of old tim CTS in that section continue to suc- cessfully mine the rivers and bars. This same holds true for the sturdy band of old timbers who cling to Shunguak and the Kobuk country. We rather look to this section to produce the next real stampede

 As placer camps go. Nome has been unusually long lived All in dications point to many more lusty years. Nome has a reputation for hospitality and good fellowship earned through the years, and when sourdoughs get together anywhere, and especially in the States, their happiest memories are of their Nome days. But then, this is true of most Alaska gold camps of the past, and our thriving towns and cities of the present.

enough. Detailed plans have been suggested along these lines but as yet nc definite program has been adopted, although local organiza- tions and individuals from time to time bring the question to the at ention of the Legislature and the authorities at Washington, D. c. 1 There seems to be no good reason why workable plan should not be backed by the Federal and Terri torial Governments, whereby DOT tion of the youth of Alaska, and perhaps some from the States, could oe employed in constructive pro- gram designed for the discovering of additional mineral wealth and the further development of Alaska's gcld- bearing areas.
 Busy Nome
 With Nome as the central point for the Peninsula from which sup plies and machinery and other nec- eSsities can be obtained, the sum- mer months witness a constant hum of activity At Nome proper the large U. s. Smelling and Refining Company operates three mammoth dredges. Preparations are now un- der way for the installation of two more These dredgeS are electrl- cally driven and use and 9 cubic foot buckets, digging to a depth of from 65 to 120 feet Drilling and cold water thawing are pursued during most of the year and then during the mining season the peak of employment reaches approxi- mately 500 men.
 The Alaska Sunset Mines, Inc, is operating and has operated for number of years a fair sized dredge on Sunset Creek, 10 miles from Nome. Bellview Bros, after many years of dredging on Dry Creek im- mediately back of Nome, moved their equipment last summer to the Im- machuk River, g miles from Deer ing They contemplate putting in a second dredge next season. Eff teen miles from Nome is the Os- borne dredge operated by Jim Pauss and partners, which is steady pro- ducer year after year In addition to the dredges many small operators, hydraulicking, using draglines and bulldozers, are working the creeks and benches close by Nome.
 Kougar0k Promising
 Probably one of the most prom ising districts on the Peninsula since the inauguration of modern mining is the Kougarok District Opera tors in this district include Keenan and Castleton, operating a dredge at Taylor together with a large hydraulic operation Fox Bar Dredge operated by Graham Hammers; Sam Godfrey on Henry Creek; Grant Mining Go on Coffee Greek; Whaley and Nelson on Noxapaga; Laurin Bros on Macklin Creek; Al Carey; George Bodis; John Kanari; Mau- rice Kelliker; James Keahiler: Woodbury Abbey and partners; Dan Kelly; Stanley Whistler; and many others who carry on individual min- ing operations on the many creeks l and benches of this large mining district
 In the Teller section the Tweet Bros. have been dredging success fully for number of years. Close by, in the Gold Run district, the Bartholamae Oil Go. of Los Angeles have been dredging for number | of years. Many individuals mine 1 the many creeks and rivers in this l area.

NEW YORK. Aug 2.-The long
stretch of hot weather tended to wilt
shoppers interest and the weeks re-
tail trade failed to hold its recent
margin of gain over last year, Dun
g. Bradstreet said today in weekly
survey.
On the basis of reports received

tail trade this week was estimated
5 to per cent above year ago.
Almost all regions had a mar
rover margin of gain than in the
preceding week. when the average
for the country was between and
II per cent: few cities showed a
drop compared with last year. but
these failed to make any regional
comparison unfavorable.
Percentage increases over a year
ago were as follows: New England

10: South, to IL; Southwest, to
7; Northwest, 3 to s; Pacific Coast

"Unfavorable weather conditions
caused the deferment of some buyer
trips to central markets and, except
in few cities staging market events
new fall business was smaller than g
week ago.
Buyer sentiment indicates a
healthy stock condition for most
retailers, the squirt in sales during
the last few weeks having enabled
them to finish the season with low
inventories despite the spottiness oi

u. 5. Investors Hold Small
Stake in Baltic Nations
By the Associated Pres

l
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-American
investors had less at stake in the
absorption by Russia of the three
small Baltic nations of Latvia
Estonia and Lithuania than has
been the case of other absorptions
or invasions which have made over
the map of Europe in the past two
years, although the status of some
s800e,000 in bonds remains to be
Clarified.
Estonia has outstanding indebt-
edneSs in the hands of the public
in this country amounting to but
S3339, 500 upon which interest at
7 per cent has been paid and sink
ing fund requirements have been
made ever since the loan was f1oated
in 1927. 1t is due in 1867 and the
next interest date is January, 1941
Financial circles thus far have
received no information from abroad
that would indicate what the new
Russian dominated government s
intentions are toward the loan.
Lithuania has one outstanding
loan of S50l 500 in this country of
which the public is believed to hold
a part, and another match monop-
oily" loan of S4,199,094, which is
held by financial institutions. OF
the former, interest has been paid
regularly at the rate OF 4 per cent
since the loan was extended to 1945
upon maturity in 1885 1t originally
carried coupons of per cent. The
next interest date is July /. 1941
No information has been received
as to what will be done about it.
The government of Latvia wiped
its slate clean in America last year
when its statesmen came into the
open market and bought up all OF
the country's outstanding bonds
