PROSPECTINGIS REVIVING, SAYS Number of Men Engaged| * in Search for Minerals | Shows Big Increase A revival of prespecting in Als k_a is one of the most encou 15 in the mining indfistry, clared N. L. Wimmler, who I Just returned here from a three- month study of placer mining over a wide area in the Territory. He found a substantial increase over the past several years in the num- ber of men engaged in the search This, he attributed to two main reasons. One is to the Territory's Prospector's Aid program, and the other is the activity of larger com- panies in both the placer and lodt mining branches of the indu: Many of the men now in the hi were enabled to get there only through the aid extended by the Territory in the payment of trans- portation costs. Mr. Wimmler left here last June and since that time has covered areas from the Porcupine, back of nes, through the upper Yukon ts of Forty-Mile, Eagle, Circle. e anks, Hot Springs, and on the Alaska Railroad. The two most interesting operations, he said, are being carried on at Porcupine and in the Walker's Fork district of the Forty-Mile, where a combined hydraulic and dragline excavator method is being used. He spent the summer investigating conditions in the placer mining industry gener- {ally. An abnormally wet season pre- vailed over the districts he visited [This favored all forms of placer mining and, Mr. Wimmler said, all indications point to a larger placer gold production this season than for 1928. It is too early in the year, however, he said, to make any predictions as to the actual.out put. There has been a notable in- crease in dredging operations in |the past several years. This sea- on eight dredges were operating in the Fairbanks district. Two oth- er being constructed there and were expected to be operating be- [fore the end of the season. Two dredges were going in the Iditarod area and the others at ‘Tacotna. ROAD MEN BACK FROM VISIT TO SOUTHERN AREA Cole and Sommers Inspect Hyder Work—Build Seaplane Ports After two weeks spent in in- specting the Salmon River im- provement at Hyder and conferr- ing with municipal officials at Ketchikan and Wrangell regard- ing hydroplane mooring facilities, Auditor Cash Cole, member of the Territorial Road Commission, and R. J. Sommers, Highway En- gineer, returned home early this week. They completed arrange- ments with the Ketchikan authori- |ties for immediate construction of |a mooring field and paved the way for similar work at Wrangell next season. | The Salmon River improvement, |completed early last summer, has |shown very satisfactory results, Mr. | Sommers said. In fact the proteg- |tion afforded Hyder has exceeded the greatest expectatlons of the | Commission. No Damage Reported Hyder interests said there had been considerable unusual high ‘wmm during the past season but it was confined to the chaanel and ,duv to the protection afforded, the town suffered no flood dam- ages such as have been sustained | for several years heretofore. | With a minimum amount of an- |nual maintenance work carried on, {Mr. Sommers said h2 b-lieved the |stream can be confincd to its pres- ent channel indefinitely. The work | was made possible by an appropria- tion of $7,500 by the Legislature |last spring. ENGR. WIMMLER i To this was added| THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 1929.

Wrangell has requested Territorial aid in the construction of a field for land planes. After | looking over the projected site and | discussing the whole aerial trans- portation developments of South- eastern Alaska, the Wrangell terests decided to abandon their own project and join the Territory in constructing a port for sea- planes. Arrangements were completed for building such a field early next season. The cost will be about $6,000 and will be shared equally by the town and the Territory. e CHAMBER HOST FOR TEACHERS AT NOON LUNGH Faulkner Pledges Cham- ber’s Co operation in Work of Schools The Chamber of Commerce is always interested in the commun- ity's -schools, their teachers and the educational work generally, H. L. Faulkner, President told High School teachers who were guests of the Chamber today at its week- ly noon luncheon. It realizes that results are obtained from schools only by co-operation, he declared. ‘The conceptign that youth can acquire education by merely send- ing it to school and turning it over entirely to the teacher is er- roneous, Mr. Faulkner said. There must be cooperation between the teacher, parent and home and all civic organizations if real results are to be obtained, he said. He assured the teachers that the Chamber is always ready to lend its aid wherever possible. Teachers who attended and were 181,400 of Hyder townsite funds. |From this combined fund there is |approximately $1,000 left which is available for maintenance work next season. This will be ample for that purpose, it was said. Development Goes Ahead | Development of the mineral re- |sources of the Hyder district, the |two officers said, is apparently making good headway. While the town ‘itself was quiet, there was much activity reported in the ad- jacent mineral districts, both in the develnpment of prospects and in prospecting itself.

ASHBAUGH | (Associated Press Correspondent) | HONOLULU, Sept. 19.—Due to a domestic and foreign demand for their product that is considered the greatest in the history of in- dustry, Hawailan pineapple pack- |ers are faced with the necessity lof curtailing orders already booked because they will not have suffi- clent fruit to meet requirements. Approximately $200,000,000 cans of Hawaiian pineapple, packed or to be packed and representing the territory's 1929 outturn, have been sold. The packing companies have no hesitency in stating that they could sell more without any dif- ficulty. One of the immediate results will ibe that orders for canned pineap- ple, booked prior to the recent an- nouncement of opening prices for 1929, will in all probability have to Ibe curtailed to some extent—prob- ably not respecting all itgms gener- ally, but at least some of them. Decision has already been reached by one company to pro rate its pack, some of its customers receiv- ing approximately 75 per cent of their orders and others around 65 per cent, depending upon the items ordered. It is estimated that 90 per cent of the Hawaiian canned pineapple output this season will go to the American market, and that the re- maining 10 per cent will reach Eu- rope. Incidentally, the existing de- mand indicates an increase in both the foreign and domestic markets. Local packers stated that indica- tions of an increased demand for Hawaiian pineapple began appear- ing late in 1928. Numerous reasons are advanced to explain this. One is the comparatively small peach crop on the mainland this summer. Another is that the intensive ad- vertising campaigns conducted by the pineapple canners are serving to awaken the nation to a better knowledge of the Hawaiian prod- uct. In addition to the 1929 pineapple \pack being oversold, the satisfac- tory position of the industry, finan- cially and physically, is emphasized by the probability that 1929 will be 2 “banner” year for the canners from the standpoint of production. jAlthough no official estimates are ! available, it is quite likely that the pack of 1929 will very closely ap- proach the 9,000,000-case mark, which will be the largest pack \in the history of the industry and a substantial gain over the pack of a year ago. the increasing demand unquestion- |ably will cause the packers to be- gin development of new lands of pineapple cultivation. He added that there is still available consid- .|the fruit could be grown. One company official said that|’ FOREST ESSAY MEDALS AWARDS PROVE POPULAR Local MedKReceived— Idea Originated Here Spreads in States Medals to be awarded Alaskan schools and students for prize win- ning essays on Forest Protection have been received by Gov.

The idea of presenting medals for winning essays originated in Alaska. It has not been adopted by the Association for all of the| States, the Governor was informed. Alaska, however, will be the first to award them. There are four medals for each, judicial division, two for schools and two for pupils, for the Territorial systems. The medals are of bronze. Those for the schools are mounted lon walnut bases that stand about six inches high and are wedge shaped. They bear a replica of the famous General Sherman Tree one of the largest in the world, and the words, try Association.
