tuber 1. and payment was made 011
September 30. The owners have re
bonded the claims to Pat Daly and it
eaves a contest of ownership to be
decided by the courts unless an ad
justment can be arranged outside,
probably by arbitration.
The rich and large showing uncov
ered by recent developments makes
it the most important on the Alaska
side of salmou river. The railroad is
being built to open up what is now
believed to be the greatest mining
camp the world has ever seen. The
Premier, that is developed by three
tunnels, has. roughly speaking, be
tween eight and un million tons of
ore in sight on two uaims.
This mine is now producing over
five hundred thousand tons a month
with 300 miners at work, yielding
about $500 per diem to the man.
Developments in the New Alaska
and Big Missouri, which is as large
and rich a mine the Premier and
the recent strike of twelve feet of
ore in the Indian group, four feet
of which is steel galena running
about 400 ounces to the ton, is a
guarantee that the railroad will have
u paying business from the time it
is ready to carry freight and pas
sengers.
Mr. Caldwell leaves tonight on the
Spokane for the south and after
closing up some important mining
deals in Spokane will go east to New
York on matters connected with the
Alaska project.—Ketchikan Chron

SHIP WAGE COMPARISON'S
Compensation or subsidy provid
ed in the proposed shipping bill aims
to provide, together with the indi
rect a ds of the b!U. an amount of
assistance to American ships that
would enable their, to compete on
approximately even terms with their
foreign competitors precisely as the
protective tariff a.ms to equalize
wage costs between American and
foreign factories, i wording to a re1
cent statement made by the Ameri
can Steamship Owners ssociation to
the U. S. Shipping 8oard.
The Association presents some Int
eresting comparison as to wages on
cargo-carrying steamers, domestic
and competing. For instance in the
New York-East India service, the.
American setanier "The Lamb," op
erated by the U. S Shipping Board,
an oil burner of G.629 gross tons,
pays wages monthly to its 32 white
officers and men oi <2,592.50, while
the British vessel "Lorenzo", a coal
burner of 6.00S gross tons, pays $1,
S65.5S monthly in trtiges to a Brit
ish and Asiatic err w of 104. The
coal burning American steamer
"JSastport", 4.3S5 gross tons, man
ned by 33 officers and men, pays $2,
560 in wages, while a Belgian steam
er of 5,216 gross tons pays $1,392.-1
12 to 41 officers a-vd men monthly.
Both boats are competing in the
trans-Atlantic trade.

TRADE THRIFT STAMPS FOR |
SAVINGS CERTIFICATEDJ
"It is to be hoped that every per-1
son who can do so will exchange
Wur Savings Stamps, which will fall!
due after January 1. 1923 for Treas-,
ury savings certificates," said Post
master Conway today.
"The large amount of money In
vested and the great number of per
sons who purchased war savings
stamps showed that the people of
Skagway and vicinity could save
money when tho necessity arose.
Now, If they will take the money
they saved when they bought stamps
to nid the gover lment in the prose
cution of the war and buy Treasury
savings certificates, they will demon
strate that the thrift lessons of the
war have not been without effect.
"The Skagway PostoiSce sold
about $25,000 worth of the 1918 Is
sue, which Is now falling due," con-l
tinued Mr. Conway, "and the holders'
of these stamps have seen invest-1
ments of about $20.50 grow to $25 j
in five years, and larger amounts In
the same proportion. Tliey can see I
tho same thing repeated if they re-1
Invest in Treasury savings certlfl-1
cates. Interest accumulates at the
rate of 4 per cent each year, com
pounded semi-annually. These sav
ings certificates are exempt from the
normal Federal income tax, and
from all State and local taxation (ex
cept estate and Inheritance taxes)
and may be held to the amount of
$5,000, maturity value, for each is
suo, by every member of a family.
Tiiey are backed by the credit of the
United Statos Government, and af
ford an easy and sure method of sav
ing."
SLOW MARKET FOR
ALASKA SALT HERRING
Eleven thousand barrels of Alas
ka salt herring ar« on the Seattle
wharves awaiting aiarket, and the
price has demoralized by reason of
small shipments from the north,
which in most instances are being
forced on the marl-et below cost of
production.
The Lee Wakefield Company,
largest packers of herring in Alas
ka, control the eleven thousand
barrels, which represents what is
unsold from a thirty thousand bar
rel pack of the company.
Captain Thomas, who spent the
summer in the Kcdiak district for
the Wakefield company, returned to
Seattle for the winter. He report
ed hering schools of exceptionally
good quality in sufficient numbers
lo make herring packing profitable
in that section. However, heavy
losses were sustained by several con
cerns who outfitted /or that section
during the season This was ac
casioned by not hPTlng studied the
waters, and being unable to fol
low the herring schools during the
season. One Seattle concern put
in an expensive plant getting less
than two hundred barrels.
Herring interests are now urging
a reservation system similar to that
introduced in the Alaska Balmon dis
tricts to stabilize the herring Indus
tl is believed locally that another
thirty days will absorb the surplus
herring on the Seattle wharves, with
the exception of the Wakefield hold
ings, and that the market will right
i'self by the first of the year. It
costs about $12 to pack hering. and
the product has been selling as low
as $8.50.—Alaska Dispatch.
The attraction tonight and tomor
row night at the Broadway is the
coming of another spectacular pho
todramatic triumph—a veritable
color-wheel of be?>ity and artistry,

OF LIFE," with a notable cast head
