50LD OUTPUT IN kIkSkA HIGHEST
 SINCE AZ PEAK

Following a two-year decline, gold output in Alaska in 1850 in 2reased to the highest point since i942, according to preliminary fig tres Of the 1850 mineral produc- tlon report issued this week by the Bureau of Mines, United States Department of the Interior. This unexpected gain in production. of he Territory's greatest value com modity was largely responsible for he increase in the overall vaFre of mineral output in the Territory o S19,202,000 from S15,549,00o in l949, the report states.
 Gold production in 1850 from pre- liminary estimates in terms of re- eoverable metal was 282,866, fine ounces of gold valued at s9,9o0,31o m increase of 53.455 ounces valued 1t s1,S7O,750 over 1e49 when pro auction was 22a,416 ounces at a yalue of S8,029, ,560.
 Comparative figures for 1850 with l949 show an increase in produc- ion also of silver, copper, lead and Hnc. The 1850 production figures ire 48,473 ounces of silver valued at s43,875 (35,056 at $S2.633 in 1949) ]; ! short tons of copper valued at s2,912 (4 tons at $1.576 in 1s49); l50 tons of lead valued at S37,500 (51 tons at S16,116 in 1949); and 6 5ons of zinc valued at $l,663s e sons at s496 in 1949).
 The total value of the output of he five metals was s$9.e86,265 coui- pared with $9OSO,381 in 1e49 Value of production of coal, tin, tung- sten and other miscellaneous met als for which data was not ayail- able for publication totaled $e,215,- 300 in 1850. an increase of $5,2l0.214 over the 1949 production value of S4,o05, ,O86.
 Average metal prices in 1850 were the same as in 1949 for gold and silver, at $35 an ounces for gold and S0.905 for silver. The price for copper was raised to S0.208 a pound from $0197 and to S0.139 a bound from S0124 for zinc, and was lowered from $0.158 to $o125 l pound for lead.
 Although coal continued to rank second to gold in value of output, production was slightly less than the record output of 1949. The min ing of platinum continued to be an important factor in the mineral industry with production of crude platinum group metals exceeding 5hat of the previous year. Output of lead was three times the 1949 pro- duction. and silver gained about one third over the previous years total. Copper and zinc production entirely as byproducts from other ores-increased slightly, but re mained minor. Production of tin was relatively small, but substan- tially above the total for 1949.
 The 23 percent increase in pro duction of gold in 1950 was un- expected inasmuch as an unusual ly dry season in the Territory re- ,ulted in cessation of activity at I number of operations in several districts in the Yukon River Basin and Seward Peninsula regions. Ap- oarently the larger operations, particularly those using bucket line dredges, were able to increase output and thus more than offset any overall loss resulting from the shutdown or curtailed activity at those plants affected by a water shortage.
 Natural gold continued to be sold on the open market at prices

Tn a game that had no bearing on tournament standing, the Ketch- ikan Rockets took the WrangeL Thunderbirds 54 to 30 in the first game last night.
 The game started slowly and finally got underway near the end Of the first quarter. Ketchikan took advantage of the rebounds that Wrangell missed. WrangelI never threatened and tried long shots that were missed regularly.

varying from three to five dollars over the official price of $35 per fine ounce. Although the quantity involved in such transactions dur Ing 1850 is not known, it is believed to have been less than the 22,00t ounces estimated to have beer sold from Alaskan mines in 1949
 Between 90 and 95 percent of the total Alaska gold output in 1856 came from placer mines, chiefly from the operation of bucket-lin6 iredges. The principal producer ir the year was the United State Smelting, Refining and Mining Go. which operated five .'redges in the Fairbanks district ana three dred- ges in the Nome district # variou; times during the year
 Activity at lode gold mines was limited largely to a few operations il the Willow Creek district the principal producer being the Alas ks-Pacific Consolidated Gold Min
 ag Co. which worked the Inde- 2endence mine. The Hirst-Chicha gof mine on Chichagof Island, 1T he Southeastern Alaska region, re- sumed limited operation in 195t loilowing period of inactivit! since october 15, 1942. A substantial
 ,iantity of gold was recovered by 'ew1r&ing old taiiings and mil ,laanup at the Alaska Juneau Thane, and 'rreadwell mills or
 Gastineau Channel, and the Chi.
 hagof mil on Chichagof Island.
 The production Of 4S,473 fine ounces of silver in 1850, a 34-per- cent increase over 1949 was largely the byproduct of gold mining, principally bucket-line dredge op- srations in the Fairbanks and Nome districts. .
 Production of lead was limited almost entirel1 to output from the Riverside n le near Hyder. Copper md zinc S,Sre recovered as bypro- ducts f.a.n lead concentrate ship ped +om this mine.
 ,...ska ''fNouced 395,000 short ,,1.s, , ,ecrding to preliminary fig 4es of bituminous coal and ltg- aite in 1850, nine percent less that he record total of l949.
 Plstnum was produced in tine l;5odnews Bay district, Kuskokwim region, recovered by bucket-line dredging. Tin was recovered by the Northern Tin Go, from it's Buck Creek placer operations and the U. s. Tin Corp, tin placer workings On Lost River on the Seward Pen insula region. The Cleary Hill Mines Go. reported the recovery of a small quantity of tin concentrate as a byproduct of it's placer-gold operation in the Hot Springs dist rlct, Yukon River region. There were no lode tin mines active dur ing the year.
 A small amount of tungsten con centrate was produced at the Riv- erside mine near Hyder, from a $ ssockpile accumulated as bypro- duct of the milling of lead ore mined prior to 1850.
 Data on production of sand, gravel, and stone are not available for publication, according to the Bureau of Mines report. No lime stone was shipped during 1850 by the Permanente Cement Go. from the Dall Island quarry, in the Ket- chikan district There was no re- corded production of antimony, as hestos, chromite, gem stones, mer- cury, or petroleum in Alaska in 1060

STATEMENT BY
SENATOR FREAR
Weekly Message From United
States Senator Frear To
People of Delaware
EXPRESSES VIEWS

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear says that he is encouraged
by the prediction of Economic
Stabilizer Eric Johnston that bar
ring all-out war, some price, wage
and other economic controls can
be lifted by early 1858. The Sena-
tor said that no one likes controls,
but unfortunately they are neces-
sary at the present time to fight
imitation.
He pointed out that by 1858 the
Armed Forces will probably have
receivedm ost of their require
ments and at the same time pro-
duction will be at a sufficient level
to also meet demands for civilian
goods. However, Senator Frear
warned that thief ull impact of de-
fense spending has not yet been
felt and when it is shortages are
bound to occur.
Stressing that dangers to our
economy from imitation are still
very much in existense, Mr.. Frear
again called for a reduction in
Government expenditures, which
he said would reduce the present
and proposed heavy tax burden
"All but the most critically neces-
sary appropriations should be
eliminated entirely" the Senator
declared.
He also said he was encouraged
by the budget surplus for the cur
rent fiscal year which is shaping
up.
Senator Frear advised Delaware
businessmen that the Senate Small
Business Committee will shortly

GA. GIRL WINS
$3.50 FOR BEING
FORCED TO
DISROBE

MACON, Ga. = CAMP - A
Bibb County Superior court
Tuesday awarded $2,250 Judge
ment to a Negro girl who asked
$4,000 damages from two White
clerks of a Macon credit clothing
store for forcing her to undress
before them.
Miss Evelyn Hanford, teen-age
Maconite won in the second
round of her court fight with the
two male employees of ASkinS,
whom she said inSulted her when
she went to pay a bill. A previous
trial had resulted in a mistrial
when one of the all-White jury
men held out against his COL
leagues.
The incident occurred last Sep
TENDER when Miss Hanford en-
tered the local branch of the ma
tional clothing chain store to
make a small payment on a $27
account. According to the young
lady, the two clerks, Frank Man
trell and Thomas E. Barberite be-
came abusive when she told them
that she had only one dollar.
The two men forced her, she
said, into a back room where
they disrobed her to see if she
were hiding money. The girl sued
the store through her father,
Ogden Hanford.
