fection trip to the westward and in
terior for several weeks past and isj
now en route to San Francisco to

.Mr. Stewart declares that the con
struction of the three-mile spur line
from the Government Railroad at
Ilealy to the Healy River Coal Cor
poration property is well under way
at:d should be tinished within a short
time. He says that work Is con

to the Alaska Railway and the towns
of Anchorage and Seward. He also
reports considerable activity in the

W11.1.1 AM <;WIXX HAS HIGH
TIME WITH A BEAR
Stewart City," Y. T., Aug. 17.—Wil
liam Gwinn, wood chopper at Harl
lan slough, near Stewart, had an ex
perience with a bear a fe wdays ago.
Gwinn was cutting wood for Roden
& Lindstrora, and had a cabin in the
woods on a hillside two and one-half
miles south of the main camp. Re
turning from work one day he found
a husky two-year-old black bear in
the cabin. The dogs were ahead
and frightened the bear out of the
place before Gwinn arrived. Entering
the cabin, Gwinn found things topsy
turvy, and a ham and a slab of
bacon missing. Bruin had enjoyed a
frolic in the place. He had turned
over many things and torn the
towels and dish rags into ribbons and
had carried off the smoked meats,
and there is no telling what he
might hav^done bad Gwinn not re
turned just when he did. Two days
later Gwinn met the young outlaw
and'finished him with a rifle, and the
big black pelt is now nailed to Bill's
door as a solemn warning to others
of the ilk.

SILVER MIIIIC
SHOWS REVIVAL
IN OLD MEXICO
Good Profit Shown With White Met
al Price Quoted Near Seventy
Cents. '
Chihuahua City, Chihuahua, Mex-i
lco. Aug. 28.—Silver mines are be
ing operated in Mexico at a good
profit, it is said, with sliver selling
around 70 cents an ounce.
When silver is below sixty cents
mines in this country cannot be
worked at a profit, as a rule. When
silver is above this figure a small
profit, hardly worth while, as the
usual thing, can be made, but when
it reaches 70 i profit of around 10
cents an ounce is nade. With silver
selling at 70 cents, or thereabouts,
consequently there Is a big revival
in the mining business of this coun
try, and especially in the state of
Chihuahua which produces the prin-|
cipal part of Mexico's silver yield. |
Old mines are being re-worked I
thoroughly, and prospecting is going i
on in almost an unprecedented tie-1
gree. j
During the six months just past, j
tl ere passed through Jaurez, Chihua
hua, alone, the .Mexican cousulate
there reports, silver In refined form
valued at $419,1174 und ores con
taining silver and other metals
(mostly gold and lead) valued* at j
$ 14,089. During the same per' jcl In I
1921, total silver, silver ore and coin-1
biued metal ore passing through lhatj
port was valued at only $549. Juarezj
is the most important port for ex
portation of silver from this state
to the L'uited tSates.
The average price of silver from
1910 to 1914 was 56.445 cents an
ounce. Labor and other costs wero'
lighter then, and some Chihuahua I
mines produced at a profit at that
figure. In 1921 the average price
was 62.62 cents. *
Present price of silver is caused
by demands from India and China, It
was stated. The world's output l:t
1921 was 175,000,000 ounces, of this
.Mexico produced 39 per cent, and the
United States 31 per cent. More
than 40,u00.000 ounces of this went
to India and 52,000,000 to China, be
ing purchased by Chinese bankers.
The government of Mexico, realiz
ing the importunce of a revival la
silver mining. Is encouraging the re
opening of mines, some of whtcn
have been closed for ten years.
It has been announced at the capi
tal that in order to stimulate pro
duction, the duty on dynamite is to
helil'ted. This will help mining con
siderably, as it is used extensively In
mining in the republic. The duty on
dynamite is $1.07 a hundred pounds,
American money.
