Mineral Production In Alaska in 1926 Total Value Trifle Below That of Previous Year The department of the interior announces, through advance statements prepared by the Alaskan branch of the geological survey, that mines in Alaska produced minerals to the value of $17,-490,000 in 1926, as against $18,220,692 in 1925. The total value of the mineral output of Alaska since 1880 is over $570,000,000. The figures for 1926, which are estimates and consequently subject to revision, are taken from the geological survey's annual report on the mineral resources of Alaska, now in preparation. The sources of this mineral wealth is approximately as follows: Value of mineral output of Alaska in 1925 and 1926 1925 1926 (est.) Gold $6,360,281 $6,620,000 Copper 10,361,336 9,500,000 Silver 482,495 420,000 Coal 404,617 460,000 Other minerals. 611,963 550,000 $18,220,692 $17,490,000 Although, as shown by the preceding table, the geological survey estimates that the value of Alaska's mineral production was not as great in 1926 as in 1925, the decrease in value by no means indicates a decrease in mining activity or even an equivalent decrease in quantity of certain of the metals produced. Considerably more than half of the decrease in value is directly attributable to the lower price of the product, which of course was a condition in no way confined to the mining industry in Alaska. For example, in 1926 the average price of silver was seven cents an ounce less than in 1925; the price of copper was about four-tenths of a cent a pound less, and the price of coal, lead and palladium was also less. The value of the yearly mineral production of Alaska, however is even more significant than appears at first glance, because the ratio between this value and the estimated population of the territory is about ten times the similar ratio for the rest of the United States. In other words, the productivity of mines part to the large amount of money required for an adequate outfit, because many of the remaining places worth investigating present increasingly difficult mining problems, but it is undoubtedly also due to the fact that large quick returns no longer afford an incentive to the prospector. On the other hand, the more intensive type of prospecting now done by the larger companies and the consolidation and operation of larger units make for more intelligent management and lowering of costs and are in themselves a guaranty' of continued profitable placer production. Walnut Growers to Hold Short Course Orange and Los Angeles county walnut growers are looking forward to the three days' short course or extension school to be held at Whittier high school auditorium, January 19, 20 and 21. A valuable series of lectures covering the cultural and economic problems of the walnut industry has been arranged by the extension service and division of subtropical horticulture, according to J. A. Smiley, chairman of the farm bureau walnut department. Coming at this time of the year, during a lull in orchard operations, a large number of local walnut growers are expected to attend. The detailed program follows: Wednesday, January 19 8:45 to 9:45—Registration. (Fee of $1 for the course.) 9:45 to 10:00—Introductory.

Ex- of course was a condition in no way confined to the mining industry in Alaska. For example, in 1926 the average price of silver was 7 cents an ounce less than in 1925; the price of copper was about four-tenths of a cent a pound less, and the price of coal, lead and palladium was also less. The value of the yearly mineral production of Alaska, however is even more significant than appears at first glance, because the ratio between this value and the estimated population of the territory is about ten times the similar ratio for the rest of the United States. In other words, the productivity of mines plays a much more vital part in the economics of the average Alaskan than in that of the average resident of the states. Even the current reduced annual value of the mineral production from Alaska is practically two and one-half times the price originally paid for the entire territory. Viewed broadly, the mining conditions through the territory are encouraging, not only for the continuation of production at the present rate, but for a gradual increase. Many of the operators have important development work in progress to put their properties into more efficient working condition, and capital for this new work and for new equipment is being made available. The improvements already brought about are reflected by some increase in the production of gold, and further developments are under way that should be still more productive in 1927, though it will be several years before all these projects will have their full effect in increasing the production. There are still large areas in Alaska that have not been adequately prospected, and many promising properties are no wlying idle because of lack of capital for the necessary equipment. The shortage of enterprise prospectors is a serious drawback that has resulted because wages for comparable work are actually lower in Alaska than in the states, though expenses are higher. As a consequence, Alaska does not attract or hold the class of prospectors it formerly did. The need of capital also grows more pressing as more extensive equipment becomes essential, but capital will not be attracted to Alaska unless the returns on the investment are likely to be higher than in the states, for the greater distance of many parts of Alaska makes investments there less alluring. In spite of the fact that in many parts of Alaska place mining was badly hampered by the shortage of rain during the first half of the open season of 1926, the production of placer gold showed a marked increase. The most noteworthy increases were reported from Seward peninsula, the Fairbanks district, and the districts in the upper part of the Yukon basin. The increase in placer production is attributable principally to the increased production by the dredges, and about 60 per cent of the placer gold produced in 1926 was won by this method of mining. According to preliminary estimates, the 29 dredges that were in operation in 1926 produced gold valued at about $2,200,000, which is somewhat more than $500,000 in excess of the amount that was recovered by this means in Bulb Growing New County Industry By A. M. STANLEY, Secretary Farm Bureau Bulb growing is one of the latest and most interesting industries of Orange county, but one does not appreciate the extensiveness until after a visit to the Highway Bulb Gardens near Anaheim. At this place C. R. Hannah has removed every other row of a nine acre walnut grove and planted thousands of bulbs of many varieties. He majors his production on gladiola and narcissus bulbs in their many varieties, but he also produces a large number of other flower bulbs, supplanting the "Dutch bulb" industry. To hear him name off the varieties is like visiting a foreign city or listening to an Italian quarrel. Mr. Hannah states that he has found Orange county ideal for bulb growing. The climate is perfect and the soil in that particular spot is fine enough to permit ease in separating the bulbs and tiny bulblets, and yet it is of a nature that holds moisture so that excessive irrigation is unnecessary and requires fertilization.

The most noteworthy increases were reported from Seward peninsula, the Fairbanks district, and the districts in the upper part of the Yukon basin. The increase in placer production is attributable principally to the increased production by the dredges, and about 60 per cent of the placer gold produced in 1926 was won by this method of mining: According to preliminary estimates, the 29 dredges that were in operation in 1926 produced gold valued at about $2,200,000, which is somewhat more than $500,000 in excess of the amount that was recovered by this means in 1925. Among the new dredges built and operated during the year, the Nome Creek dredge, in the Fairbanks district, was the largest. Several dredges completed late in the preceding year, did not begin to be really productive until 1926. Few projects for building new dredges took definite shape during the year, though it is understood that plans are well under way for the installation of a dredge on American creek, in the Hot Springs district, and that considerable prospecting for this enterprise was done during the season. The Fairbanks Exploration Company continued its extensive properties on Goldstream creek and in other parts of the Fairbanks district. Work on this property was carried on throughout the season and consisted mainly in building part of the long ditch from Chatanka river, near the mouth of Fairbanks creek. It is understood that about 17 miles of this ditch is now completed, together with some of the necessary siphons. Though much other development work was in progress by this company, the property will probably not begin productive mining on a large scale before 1928. Although placer mining by other methods than dredging was hampered in some of the districts by lack of water until after the middle of summer, the camps in the Fortymile, Circle, and Eagle districts, in the upper part of the Yukon basin, report that on the whole they had more and better distributed water than usual. This condition is reflected by the increase in the amount of gold they produced. There is still a dearth of active and intelligent prospecting in many favorable placer localities. This is due in many varieties. He majors his production on gladiola and narcissus bulbs, in their many varieties, but he also produces a large number of other flower bulbs, supplanting the "Dutch bulb" industry. To hear him name off the varieties is like visiting a foreign city or listening to an Italian quarrel. Mr. Hannah states that he has found Orange county ideal for bulb growing. The climate is perfect and the soil in that particular spot is fine enough to permit ease in separating the bulbs and tiny bulblets, and yet it is of a nature that holds moisture so that excessive irrigation is unnecessary and requires practically no fertilization. The close proximity to a good market for the cut flowers is also an advantage, according to Mr. Hannah, although he does not depend on this trade except as a by-product. As the industry grows the value of the cut flower market is going to depreciate and that branch of the business cannot be depended on for a source of appreciable income. The average price for bulbs is said to be about 25 cents each, with many of the less desirable quality selling as low as 10 cents. Several varieties of the Highway Bulb Garden regularly retail for $2.50 a bulb, and he also has a few which he would not sell at any price. These prices make the business attractive; but even so, the business does not savor of a get-rich-quick scheme. Occasionally bulbs of rare or new species sell for fabulous prices, a few going as high as $1000 a bulb, but this is an exception rather than a rule and one should not enter the business with the expectation of making exceptional creations. There is a growing demand for good sound bulbs of well known varieties. These bulbs are used in the forcing greenhouses in the east and, of course, being forced, do not reproduce themselves successfully—hence the success of the bulb garden in sunny California. There is room for many more in this industry, it is stated, but a novice should undertake the industry by slow steps, developing his plots as his knowledge increases. The bulb growers are pioneering to a certain extent and there is a need of a certain amount of experimental work and an exchange of experiences among those engaged in the business.

Announcement was made by Will H. Marsh, chief of the division, that the office is now in readiness to receive applications for renewal of licenses for 1927 by mail. License plates were not issued by the department either from the Sacramento office or any of its division points or through the automobile club agencies issuing same until January 3, 1927. On that date all counters of the division were opened to the public. The normal force of 500 employees is doubled and everything is in readiness to receive the million and a half plus license applications which it is estimated by Marsh will be presented during the thirty-day renewal period. Marsh pointed out that no change has been made in the law since 1925 and the renewal will be made under the exact conditions which obtained for the renewal of last year. Applicants for renewal are required only to submit their white certificate, officially known as the certificate of registration, and fee of $3 for pleasure cars, and the same rate for commercial licenses as was paid last year. No chauffeur's licenses will be issued by the division or through the branches for 1927 until February 1, January 3 being the expiration date for chauffeur licenses under the California Vehicle Act. As a safeguard against miscarriage of plates or certificates, it is further pointed out that every applicant should carefully inspect his certificate of registration to ascertain if his correct address appears thereon. If it does not correction should be made before submitting the same to insure proper delivery. In case the certificate of registration has been lost, applicant should procure an application for a duplicate certificate; properly fill out the same and submit with the regular fee, plus 50c for the duplicate. Except in cases of our line are handling big travel daily." Mr. Duffy said as the great western empire broadens and its peoples, new business and other enterprises with eastern associations and connections will be established. This today is going on at a faster pace than ever before. Furthermore, he said the increasing popularity of California as both a summer and winter resort and playground, would bring about increased transcontinental travel. "With all its hotels and resorts," continued the passenger official, "California requires several large resort hotels in order that greater throngs of tourists may be brought here and kept in the state for longer periods. Florida has not been sparing in building a magnificent chain of hotels, where every attraction is offered. In this state there are innumerable locations for beach and other resort hotels of grandeur, and until we can broadcast this fact to the world, we cannot expect the tourist travel to reach its maximum development. Our hotels are good, as far as they go, but more are needed, with the resort setting. Several million dollars invested along that line would be a tremendous boost to California and undoubtedly would result in a year-round travel to this state that would be the means of bringing boundless wealth and industry within our midst." ATTENDING CONFERENCE H. E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, and his two assistants, W. M. Cory and Raymond Ellis, are spending the week in Berkeley, attending the annual farm advisor conference. This is the annual meeting at which compare notes and experiences and equip themselves with new thoughts and new ideas for advancing the extension work in the different counties. It is not a vacation, but a short course of intensive study, looking toward better service. No. 21542 NOTICE TO CREDITORS The Estate of MARTHA SCHOELLER, also known as MARTHA SCHALLER, Deceased.

Forest Trees to Be Planted January 15 Saturday, January 15, will be a red letter day in the Orange county reforestation program and tiny forest trees will find a new and permanent home at the Orange County park. If the plans of the Orange County Farm Bureau succeed, this will be the first actual reforestation work under the co-operative project of the county forestry department and the county board of supervisors, co-operating with the farm bureau and the United States forest service. J. B. Elliott, forest supervisor for this district, has supplied a number of trees which are expected about January 15. Robert Northcross, county forester, has prepared about three acres of ground on an open slope southwest of the picnic grounds at the park, and the trees will be planted in this spot for demonstrational purposes. By this planting it is hoped to determine the best variety of forest trees for local conditions. The Orange County Farm Bureau has secured additional number of trees from the University of California, including a seedling cypress from the Garden of Gethsemane, which will be planted at the same time. The bureau has also secured a number of forest tree seeds which will be planted shortly in seed beds prepared by the prison labor, under direction of Mr. Northcross. When trees from these seeds are ready for transplanting, a county-wide picnic is proposed and the young trees which the demonstration plot shows adaptable will be transplanted in the burned area. Details of the plans for the planting of the demonstrational plot, January 15, are not yet complete. It will probably be in the form of a public picnic, at which the men folks attending will be asked to manipulate the business end of a shovel and assist in placing the trees in the ground. After the planting a short program featuring lectures on forest and water conservation has been suggested. It is thought that the demonstration plot will serve a dual purpose. The actual planting of trees by Orange county residents will engender a greater reverence for forests, and the growing of the trees in our popular park will serve as a constant reminder of our debt to denuded nature.

Duffy, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe. The official bases his prediction upon the generally good times throughout the east and the central and middle western states, coupled with the natural inclination to visit California and the west, where the resort, playground and recreational advantages are without parallel. "During the present winter season the Santa Fe has put out a greater and finer line of literature and advertising, at a much larger cost than for any season in the company's history," said Mr. Duffy. "This has been done to make known the superior advantages of the new de luxe train, the 'Chief', which was put on daily between Los Angeles and Chicago, November 14. The popularity and success of this extra fare train has been beyond our most sanguine expectations, and while the 'Chief' is well filled, the California Limited, too, is running capacity in two sections every day, and we soon expect to be called upon to add another section in order to take care of the heavy tourist movement to the coast immediately after New Year's.

Chiropractic is a mechanical art and being of a mechanical makeup, I have acquired the defenses to properly place your vertebrae as a matter of second mature and being of a studious disposition with a love for profound books.
