THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY ..6, 1911. 14 X LES GOLD FROM , FOR THE FUTURE Alaskan Output Reduced by Slump in Few Districts in . 1910; ; lode Mining Will Jn . crease; Coal and Railways. By John E. Lathrop. 1 Washington, Jan. 6. Alfred H. Brooks of the geofoglcal aurvey reports that the valua of tha mineral output of -' Alaska In 1910 la estimated at $17,400, 000; the value In 19,09 was J2l.148.423. Of this, the estimated value of the gold output In 1910 was $18,360,000: that of 1909, $20,!71,078. The copper produc tion in lMTTs estimated to have been f, (00,000 pounds, valued at about $740,- ( 00; that of 1809 was 4,124.70 pounds. ' aiued at $536,211. The value of the other mineral products, including silver, Isad, gypsum, marble and coal, is estl 'mated at $300,000 an increase over that of 1909. , The total value of tha Alaska mineral ."production since 1880, when mining" was )Kun. 4s, in round numbers,- $186,000, 000, of which $179,000,000 Is represented by the value of the gold output. Explanation of tha Decrease The decrease in the value of the mtn- era! production Is entirely chargeable to the falling off in the output of Fair- ' banks, Seward peninsula and some of the smaller placer districts.) Except in these camps and the coal fields, the out put from all the mining districts In creased. In spite of the decreased gold production and the handicap because of the delay In opening the coal fields, oonsIderaMe advancements wers made In the mining Industry. Copper mining - was prosperous and much development wotk was done on the copper deposits. More had been accomplished than In any . previous year In the development of aurtfarout lodes. Muoh work was also Bone toward Installing large mining plants for working- low grade placer de posits. Great Weed Is Cheap JhuiL . Mr. Brooks gives his opinion of the coal situation as follows: "As in previous years, the lack of , ebeap fuel is the one great hindrance to the advancement of the mining In dustry In Alaska. So long as the Pa cific seaboard of Alaska and the adja cent portions of the land region have to depend on expensive coal brought from British Columbia, Japan and Washington, so long will the Industries ot the territory suffer. With coal at . II to XtO a ton along tha Paclfto sea board of Alaska, even mines located at tidewater are at great economic dis ndvantage. Under such conditions only the richest and largest ore bodies can be mined at a profit "Practically nothing was done In the coal fields except a few patent surveys. Most tf the small mines Which have In the past furnished llgnltlo coal for local .use were, in-1910 -closed until the tnat- f ter of granting patents should be finally decided. On the other hand, some new ; drilling waa done In th,e Katalla oil field. Current reports Indicate that corns oil properties were leased and preparations made to render the district . productive. Uways and the Coal Situation. "The railways are at a double dis advantage. In the first place, they are paying from $11 to $12 a ton for coal used in operating, which should cost only $2.50 to $S: in the second Dlace. the coal tonnage needed to help support the railways Is nonexistent In spite of these handicaps, the backers of some i- mamiway project ihave shown commendable enterprise in continuing construction work. 'The Copper Rtver railway completed the construction of the line as far as Chltina, 131 miles from Cordova, at the end of September, and also put a tem porary bridge across the Copper at this point. The remaining 60 miles to the Bonanza mines are of easy construction, and the manaisers report that the line I will be completed t an early data. This line will render accessible both the cop per deposits of the Chltina valley and the placers of the Nlzlna district Alaska Worth era Bail way. The Alaska Northern railway main tained communication over its 71 miles of track, which connects Seward, the coastal., terminal, wlt the head of Turnagaln Arm. By fne use of small launches a route of communication wiin Knlk and points on Susltna river was thus established,' which is competitive with the older route from Cook inlet Some location surveys were also made beyond the end of the completed road. This railway, when completed, will lead to the development of the Matanuaka coal field and the Willow creek " lode district, as well as other mining dis tricts of the Susltna basin, ' besides making accessible extensive areas of arable land. "Most of the other railway projects appear to have lain dormant awaiting the settlement of the coal land ques tion. The completed railways, such as the White Pass, Tanana Valley and Seward Peninsula, were operated but need no special mention. Wacom Koad to Fairbanks. "An Important feature of the year was the transformation of much of jfie Valdes-Halrbanks trail to a wagon road This new road, besides serving the ter minal points, will aid the development of the several mining districts lying between.1. Important roads and .trails were also constructed In other parts of the territory "by the Alaska road commission."

From a talk With him I gathered that his articles soon to appear will tell the (ruth about west ern fruit lands and will not be a mere effort to, keep money and people In any mie locality. The .

There Is also the danger that a newspaper may b serving either Its own Interest In an advertising way to secure tho ad vertisement of land dealer, or tthat It is serving om particular group of dealer In an advertising way. "I think legitimate apple land dealer will welcome any Investigation of land sale In this state. It will mean a greater degree of safety for holder of land In tho valley that are especially adapted to fruit raising.

American Automatic (or Nelson) Air-Controlled Streetcar Fender ... w Officially Adopted by the City of Portland After Three Years' Investigation of Fenders The Only Air Controlled Fender in the World This is the highest type of safety device ever invented and per fected, and within a few years it will be in universal use, just as the air brake is today. It is the only air-controlled fender in the world, and is protected by patents covering the application of air to the operation of a fender. These patents yet have ' more than 15 years to run. Air Fender Field Almost Unlimited The field of the air fender is almost unlimited. At the present time there are nearly 200,000 air cars in the United States, and the number is being added to at the rate of about 5000 a year. At the present time demonstrations of the Nelson Air Fender are being called for in Tacoma, Spokane, Oakland, Alameda and San Diego, with the purpose of having it adopted in those cities. Small Amount of Stock to Be Sold For the purpose of carrying on these demonstrations, and with a view to pushing the adoption of the fender in other cities, it has been decided to sell a limited amount of stock of the AMERICAN AUTOMATIC FENDER COMPANY in the city of Portland. The American Automatic Fender Company is organized under the laws of the state of Minnesota and is capi talized at $500,000. Par value of stock: $10. The limited amount offered here will be sold at less than par. This will be the only opportunity to purchase this stock in Portland. In vestigation will show it to be one of the best investments ever presented. Immense Profits, Being Without a Competitor The sale of 3000 fenders per year will bring upward of 10 per cent annual dividends on the par value of the stock. Nego tiations are now under way for the sale of more than 5000 fenders during the present year. The Nelson Air Fender is without competition. It is in a class by itself. Mechanics and experts declare it bears the same relation to all other fenders that the air brake does to the old-style" hand brake. It will soon occupy the fender field alone, and with nearly 200,000 cars to.be equipped, the stock of the American Automatic Fender Company will within a few years be worth several times its par value. Trie business prospects and possibilities of the company are almost beysmd computation. Public Officials Will Back Air Fender Stteet railway corporations are no longer allowed to use inferior safety appliances. Most of the states and cities have salaried expert officials whose duty it is to see that the highest possible protection is given the public in return for franchises granted over the public streets arid thoroughfares through the adoption and use of the latest approved ancl best lifesaving appliances. The Nelson Automatic Air Fender is declared by safety appli ance experts to be the best lifesaving device of the kind ever constructed. It will prevent accidents where all other fenders fail, on account of the rapidity and certainty of air pressure. It is part of the air-brake equipment of the car and is always in working order. Air Fender Has Solved the Fender Problem The Nelson fender is a successful, practical lifesaving device and is already being hailed by safety appliance experts as the final solution of tit troublesome fender problem. It received the highest percentagejor efficiency of all fenders fully tested by the New York City Public Service Commission and was adopted by the city of Portland after three years' investigation of the fender question by the city authorities. Its efficiency is equaled by its simplicity. No other fender is as neat in ap pearance. It is no longer an experiment, but an established standard lifesaving device of the highest class. The history of the air brake will be the history of the aik fender, with the ad vantage in favor of the fender, because it will have public safety appliance officials back of it a condition which did not exist when the air brake was perfected. ENDORSED BY SAFETY APPLIANCE EXPERTS Safety appliance experts declare that the air fender has solved the fender problem, which has been one of the most difficult that safety appliance officials have ever had to deal with. A. W. Petley, inspector of safety appliances for Washington, a man with more than 20 years' experience In this line of -work, says : "I am of the opinion that the Nelson air fender is destined to take its place along with the air brake, automatic coupler and other similar devices, and. that within a few years it will be in universal use." . A. L. Valentine, superintendent of public utilities for the city of Seattle, says: "The Nelson automatic air fender is the nearest thing to. a perfect fender 1 have ever seen." f s A prominent railroad official, who is one of the highest mechanical authorities in Port land, says: "All other fenders bear about the same relation to the Nelson fender that the old hand brake does to the automatic air brake." J. F. Fitch, former claim agent and attorney for the Tacoma street railways, who has spent several years investigating fenders and who is an authority on that subject, says: "I congratulate the citizens of Portland upon the adoption of the only real life-saving fender and the most perfect device to that end that in years of investigation I have been able to discover." - The Continental Trust Co.
