GERMANY DISCONTINUES SENDING PARCEL
POST PACKAGES TO THE UNITED STATES
BERLIN, Oct. ‘Id—The German government lias discon
tinned the sending of parcel post packages to America, am
until further notice no mail of this character will lit* received b;
the German postoffices for the United States. The governmen
has given no reason for its action and the order is the occasioi
for much curious comment throughout Germany. There i
some talk that this has been done at the request of the Ameri
can government but no authority can lx* found for this state
m&nt, and the officials in the post office department are ab
sOmtely uncommunicative.

i
Thomas Riggs. Jr., of the Alaska
Engineering Commission, who passed
■ through Cordova the other day on his
way from Fairbanks to Seward, to
consult with Chairman Edes, believes
that there would be greater develop
ment in Alaska if the territory em
ployed an expert mining engineer,
wjjHose duty it would be to make re
ports on all likely looking properties.
Mr. Riggs would have the territory I
| pay the salary of this engineer and ;
make the owners of the property pay!
only the actual expenses of the en
gineer while he was examinig their
property. Then if the report of the
government engineer was favorable, |
many capitalists would be inclined to
pay for a thorough examination of
the various properties, while ns con-,
ditions are at the present time, they,
dislike to expend some five or six
thousand dollars for the superficial
examination.
1 To keep the office out of politics,
s*> that the territory would be assured
of a good man at all times, he sug
gests that it would be well to let the 1
secretary of the interior select a j
competent man from the civil service!
list.
During the last few years it has,
been the experience of many holders
of mining properties that capitalists i
would look over their property if they
would pay for part or all the expenses
of the superficial or preliminary ex
amination. If this could be avoided,
i
many of them, as well'as Mr Riggs,
think that there would be more money
invested, ns there are many good prop
erties going begging because of the
fact that outside people dislike to
take a chance on property so far away.

PLENTY OF MONEY FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA
Banker Hayden, a inulti-mlllionarie
of Boston, who holds vast mining in
terests in ail parts of the world, states
that more money than ever will be put
into development work In Alaska this
coming summer and that the northern
coutry would receive attention from
mining investors. The certainty that
after the present war the demand for
metals will be heavy and will con
tinue for many years is so certain that
bankers and mining men are planning
to make heavy investments in mines.
