WHKKK AND HOW THK
COMMISSION 8PKNT JIONBV
Lieutenant Kdgerton of the Al
a?kn road commiaalon has given out
the follow) tin account of th? ?*
pendltures for the year 1912:
"At the beginning of the year
M a meeting of the board It wan
expected that the $1>5,000 awke?l
from congress by the toad com nils
slon would bo available shortly at- 1
ter the return of Col. Richardson
from hla conference with the head*
of the department at Washington,]
and on that hauls our work wa*
planned. But for the timely assist
ance of Governor Clark, when he
transferred from the accumulated
money In the school fund, about
$80,000 we would have been com
pelled to shut down the work on
account of the failure of the appro
priation bill to pass during the ear
ly part of the season. Thla Money
was transferred. $50,000 In the ear
ly spring and the balance In July."
The work of the commission was
divided hh follows:
First Division ? About $40,000
was spent in the first division on
the wagon road up Sheep creek near
Juneau an>1 on the road from Haine
to Pleasant Camp at the Canadian
boundary.
S?>cond Division ? A considerable
amount was spent in the construct-'
ion of a wagon road up the Solo
mon river and on local roads
around Nome; a wagon road was
built up Candle creek, one fromi
(leering to Intnachuk. Small pieces
of road were built In the new Squir
rel river mining district, and a road
from Nome to Council.
Third Division ? i ne commission
spent the largest sum in the Third
division, as it is of great impor
tance that the work of past years
be kept in repair, and also because
of the rapid development of the dif
ferent mining ramps in this di
vision. About $115,000 was spent
on the Valdee-Falrbanks trail and
the Willow creek cut off, the con
struction of the sled road from New
Knik to Willow creek, a sled road
from the Alaska Northern railroad
to the Moose Pass district, the
completion of the Seward-Idltarod
trail and the wagon road from the
railroad to Hope and Sunrise.
Fourth Division ? The work in
the Fourth division cost $80,000
and consisted of work from Ruby to
liOng creek and from Iditarod to
Flat creek, on the road around Ruby
the keeping in repair of the upper
end of the Valdet-Fairbanks wa
gon road, the construction of the
road from Circle to Mammoth crc->k,
a road from Fairbanks to Hot
Hot Springs, a sled road from Fair
banks to Fort Gibbon, and one
from Fairbanks to Circle.
Division of License Money ? The
law for the collection of license
mouey in Alaska provides that 25
per cent shall go to the school fund,
5 per cent for the care of ftie in
sane, and 70 per cent for the con
struction of roads and trails as map
ped out by the road commission.
The commission consists of Col.
Richardson, chairman; Lieut. Edger
ton. engineer officer, and Lieut.
?Veeks, disbursing officer
OOPPKR PRODUCTION IN 191 1
PASSKS HHiHWATKR MARK
The year 1911 was one of pros
perity for the copper industry, both
smelter aud refinery output* be
ing the largest in its history.
The average price of copper for
1811 was 12. 5 cents a pound, slight
ly below the price of 1910, but
near the close of the year the
price advanced, the average for
l>ecember being 13.71 cents a lb.
Metal-market conditions continued
to improve till the average price
had risen, in July, 1918, above 17
cents a pound, the highest price
since the panic of 1907.
The smelter production ol cop
per la the l'nited States in 1911
was 1,097.2:12,749 pounds, or 5<>
per cent of the world's production,
but while the production surpassed
that of 1910 by 8,995,317 pounds,
the value of the 1911 output was
but 1137,154,092, compared with
$137,180,257 for 1910.
In 1911 twenty-one States and
Territories contributed to the cop
ier production, but the three lead
ing States (Arisona, Montana, and
Michigan) produced 72 per cant
of the total output. Aritona pro
duced more than 27 per cent of the
output for the year. Montana slight
ly less than 26 per rent, and Mich
igan nearly 30 per cant. Utah took
fourth place, with an output ol
nearly 13 per cont of the 1911
production. The six loading State*
In 1911 (Aritona, Montana, Mich
igan, t'tah. Nevada, a^d California)
produced 94 4 per mint of the out
put for that year, nnd the sam?
States have produced 95 per cent
of the total output since 1846. A1
Hska produced the hlt.hest-grade or*
in 1911, the average yield being
IP. 7 7 per cent of copper; Califor
nia nag *000 nd, with 3.17 per cent;
Arltona wan thlird, with 3 57 per
rent; und Montana wu fourth, with

New York, Oct. 2# ? Vilhjalmur
Stefansson, who discovered the
blond Esquimaux in the Cornation
Gulf region, said yesterday that In
?n effort to Bar* them from destruc
tion he would co to Ottawa aoon.
He plana to aalt the Canadian Gov
ernment to protect the millions of
caribou which supply food and cloth
ing to the blond Kaqulmaux.
"When j new people and a new
country are dlncovered," said Stef
ansson, "commercial Interests Im
mediately ask, 'How much money
can we make out of themt' The fur
traders and hunters start at once.
The missionaries race with the com
mercial Interests to he the first on
the ground and save the strangers
souls. Nobody seems to care about
saving their bodies, in spite of the
facts that scientists know that as
aoon as civilisation reaches them
thej- will be blighted. No one
seems to care whether they are ex
terminated or riot.
"In the South Pacific and in Al
aska, notably, civilization has tend
ed rapidly to di?stroy the aborigines.
There ia an American Baying, you
remember,- thai the only good In
dian is a dead one.
"The most deadly disease that
ever struck the Kaqulmaux any
where was the measles. Fifty per
cent of all that have <\ie<1 In Alaska
in the last twenty years have died
of this disease. The missionaries
and the supply chips that carry
stuff to the missionaries are as
likely to carry measles as are the
Air traders When measles attacks
the blond Kaquimaux in Cornation
Gulf, I should not be surprised if
the disease caiTled off 60 per cent
of them.
"The only Intelligently governed
Esquimaux country in the world is
Greenland, where Denmark main
l&ins a strict quarantine, no one be
ing permitted to land without in
vestigation. There the population
ia increasing. Such an agreement
is feasible for the Cornation Gulf
country.
"And I want to shut out both the
fur trader and the missionary. The
blond Ksqumaux don't need the fur
trader and the things of civilisation
he carries and they have a religion
of their own which answers their
purposes very well. At present they
have no contagious diseaaes and
their health I* very good. Already
1 expect fur traders are headed
that way and at least one or two
missionaries are penetrating the
country. Captain Amundsen said
of the King William l4ind Ksqu
msux that hii best wish for them
was that civilisation should not get
them. ] feel the same way about
these."
