SUiVEV OF THE KOSKOKWI.M
Washington, Dec. 11—The >vork
doue by the par»y on the steamer
\ ukon, JR. K. Lukeus commanding,
engaged in the continuation of the
surv y of the Koskokwim river, Al
a»Ua, is briefly covered by a pre
liminary report from that office.
Detailed hydrography iu Eek
Chanui 1 was started at a point
«l> • i miles south of Kuskokwak
creek aud was carried to the head
o' Eck Channel, where the cross
ever to the west channel was fully
developed aud marked by a per
manent range structure.
The west channel was surveyed to
a point about 3 miles north of Eek
islaud. The work delineated the
cuJy i racticable channel into the
ri.er and tha navigation is con
trolled by shore ranges iu the dif
ficult places.
The Warehouse Channel was de
veloped as far as Quinhagak. This
channel is not a practicable one
for entering the river but is of
t. u ui .1 by vessels wishing to dis
clcirge c:rrgo at Quinhagak.
Two trips were made to Bethel to
verify ije work of the previous sea
son. In two placss a channel was
found which was an improvement on
the rcu'o taken in 1914. One of
these new chanaels was important,
as it iliminated the ouly critically
••i ;<!ace on the river.
Current observations were male
a» eight different places on the
river .
A recotinoissance survey of tUe
Kuskckv. itn river was curried from
liitlw-j to Tocotiia Forks, a dis
tance of about 550 miles. This
v/as doue by H. A. Cotton, who
ni-u. .»he trip 01 the river steamer
Qtu.ksttp at the invitation of the
t\.xsxokv.ini Commercial Co. The
control was secured by astronomical
t-bse; vat ions at various places along
the river. Preliminary computations
show tbr.t the best existing map of
'he river is in error as much as
50 miles
Three aids to navigation were
established, consisting of a 30
foot tower beacon erected on the
elbow of Carters Spit, a 30-foot
square tower erected on Warehouse
Bluff, and two rear ranges erected
near Pepokamute.

MAY I'SE WHITE LABOR
IX ALASKA CANNERIES
Olympia, Dec, 3—As the result
of a conference In Seattle between
Commissioner of Immigration Au
thony caminettl and State Labor
Commissioner E. W. Olsou, the way
has been opened, Olson believes,
for the supplanting of Japanese la
bor by white labor In the salmon
cauueries.
Agreement ou the part of the
canii<?ry operators to use white la
bor if it is supplied /hern Is tho
only element needed to complete the
success of the undertaking, Olson
believes. The lederal authorities,
he states, have indicated their wil
lingness to extend their employment
bureau facili*'es to obtain labor for
the csnn1 rymen.
"Commissioner Caminettl made It
plain, however, that the federal au
thorities cannot discriminate against
Japan se ou account of the 'favored
nation' clauses In our international
treaties," Commissioner Olson said
today. To avoid international com
plications with Japan, the federal
authorities must treat all applica^

eral authorities, or will continue to

Th- meeting with Camlnettl came
as the result of an investigation of
several mouths of labor conditions
In the salmon canneries, which
Commissioner Olson has made at
the request of Secretary of Labor
William B. Wilson. His report on
this investigation ia uow on Its
way :o Wilson at Washington, D. C.
MINK CITS OUTPUT
FOR SHOUT TiMH
The Alaska-Gastiueau mine has
reduced its working force tempor
arily, says the Juneau Empire, nud
cut down its milling output from
U,000 tons a day to 4,000. The
action was done in order to increase
the value of t' e ore going into the
mi'l. The result has be^n to raise
this from a little over ?1 a ton, the
value the ore was showing before
the reduction of the output, to $1.40
a u n. It ► understood that tho
restricted production will continue
only until the return of General
Manager B. L. Thane, when the
mine will begin employing more la
bor than ever beforo in Its history.
Tile intrusion of low grade ore
which was struck In the fifth level,
a level that it was believed would
sweeten the gross product instead
of reducing its value, is the direct
cause for this action.
It is understood that plans for
1 the removal of the low grade intru
sion are being perfected, and that
other levels where the values are
such that they will increase the
average ore value i'.re to be de
veloped as fast as possible. Opera
tion on these plans, it is under
Stood, will begin upon the arrival
at Juueau of Mr. Thar.o.
In Siiite of the unexpected de
velopment, which resulted in the j
reducticn of the total output of the
miac, temporarily from 6,000 tons £.
day to 4,000 tons, it is officially
stated that there has never been a
day's operation in the mine and
mill which has not shown a net
profit.
It is also stated on the authority
of tho Boston News Bureau that
the reduction in the price of Alaska
gold stock has resulted in heavy
buv»ng by thoso familiar with the
mine conditions. It is believed that
the urice of the stock will not I
fall more than a few points more, |
a» mos*, and that there will follow 3
general recovery. It is stated how-1
ever, that at no time has there j
b:en encouragement on the part
of tee management for the high
prices of Alaska gold stock that
were reached at one time. Tho
