''Mining in Alaska
In 1926
Mines in Alaska produced $17,
i 657,800 worth of minerals, as
; against $18,220,692 in 1925, ac
! cording to an announcement made
| by the Interior Department recent
I ly through the Geological Survey.
| The total value of the mineral out
put of the Territory since 1880 is
$571,000,000.
About 56 per cent of the gold
produced during 1926 came from
placers, and of this amount nearly
61 per cent was mined by dredg
es, of which there were 32 in op
, eration in different parts of the Ter
ritory. This method of placer min
ing promises to yield even larger
returns in Succeeding years, be
cause during 1926 several of the
dredges were not operated through
the entire season, owing either tc
time spent in completing them or
to the extremely dry season that
prevailed through most of Alaska,
or from some purely local cause,
and plans are already under way
for building additional dredges at
a number of places in the near fu
irom a report on the mineral in
dustry of Alaska in 1926, which is
in prparation for publication by the
Geological Survey.

SHALL WE HAVE REAL
CONSERVATION
. .. (Continued from last Week) . . .
In September, 1924, just a few
mouths after the Pike County Chap
ter had revealed the depleted condi
tion of our pearl fisheries, and how
Commissioner O’Malley was permit
ting the public to become mislead,
our “Outdoor America” magazine
devoted two full pages in present
ing Mr. Hoover and Mr. O’Malley
as conservationiste. The door of
our “Outdoor America” magazine
was closed against real protection
for our pearl and shell fisheries, yet
there was plenty of space for re
commending these two politicians.
Later Mr. Hoover wa3 made Honor
ary President of the Izaak Walton
League. These are very strange
things to occur in an organization
designed for the conservation of
the resources of our Nation. If
our “Outdoor America” magazine
had published a statement of the
actual condition of our pearl and
shell fisheries, it would have re
vealed the depleted condition of our
pearl shell fisheries, and the public
would have learned of the ineffi
ciency of the Bureau of Fisheries.
Therefore we are forced to notice
that there seems to be a strong
friendship between the officials of
the Izaak Walton League and the
Department of Commerce and the
Bureau of Fisheries. We have
known great friendships, and we
have learned to admire other
friendship such as the friendship of
Damon and Pythias and the friend
ship of David and Jonathan. There
is no question but that friendship
has its place in this world, but we
must be on the alert and make cer
tain that friendships do not lead to
political and entangling alliances
which will obstruct the progress of
the Izaak Walton League, and limit
the kinds of natural resources which
shall be defended in the pages of
“Outdoor America.”
Mr. Hoover and Mr. O’Malley
were not given prestige in “Out
door America” until 1924, after the
Pike County Chapter had revealed
the depleted condition of our pearl
fisheries. At that time our League
had attained considerable promi
nence. The first two yearawere dif
ficult ones for the local chapter se

cretaries and others tried to build
up their memberships. People did
not understand the scope and pur
poses of the Izaak Walton League.
There is much that might be writ
ten regarding the untiring efforts
of local secretaries in their patriot
ic struggles to build up their local
chapters to point a where they
could be of greatest service to our
League and to our Nation. In all
due fairness to all of those who
helped to build up this great organ
ization and to all of our members,
it is proper to observe what Mr.
Hoover and Mr. O’Malley were do
ing for conservation during the
first two years of the life of the

BRINE FREEZING USED IN FISH
PRESERVING—AT HALIFAX
According to “The Halifax Chron
icle,’' experiments of great commer
cial value are being made by the
Atlantic Fisheries Experimental Sta
tion at Halifax. One of the most
important achievements of the sta
tion during the two years of its es
tablishment has been the develop
ment of the system of brine freezing
for the refrigeration of fish in place
of the U3e of ice and cold storage.
Because of the better appearance of
the frozen fish by this method, while
at the same time maintaining the
high quality of the product., one of
the large local fresh-fish plants has
adopted the brine-freezing method.

SCOTLAND FISHERIES PAY
MORE FOR CATCH
American Consul M. K. Moorhead,
Dundee, Scotland, in a report dated
November 30, 1926, on the fishing
industry of Scotland during the
month of October, 192 6, states the
demand for fish was good thruout
the month. The average price of
herring for the month was $3.16 per
hundredweight as compared with
$2.00 in October in 1925, while the
average for all kinds of white fish
was $6,66 per hundredweight. Of
a total of 226.253 of fish taken,
69,757 were herring; 155,784 white
fish (except herring, mackerel, etc.),
28,045 cod and codlings, and 74,248
haddocks.
Total exports of cured herring
from Scotland during the month of
October was 53,953 barrels; exports
of herring fo rthe ten months end
ing October was 866,908 barrels.
VALUE OF ANTARCTIC WHALE
In the course of a fascinating
lecture recently delivered before
the Royal Institution in London, Si"
Edgeworth David, dealing with ex
ploration and the problems of the
Antarctica, said that one of the
motives for exploration was com
mercial profit, and that the whales
of the southern seas provided a
large source of profit. In the sea
two British and 11 Norwegian—
landed in South Georgia 6,055
whales, from which oil was extract
ed to the value of approximately
$11,220,000.
