A.P. A. TO INSTALL
WIRELESS STATIONS
PLANTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT
IN SEATTLE AND WILL
BE SHIPPED SOON
—
Wireless equippment for six land
stations in Alaska was purchased
yesterday from the Kilboume &
; Clark Manufacturing Company of
Seattle, by the Alaska Packer’s
Association of San Francisco, op
’ crating a large number of salmon
j canneries in the north. The con
tract is the largest ever signed for
; wireless land stations in Alaska.
' It calls for the installation of the
stations a* the earliest possible
moment. The deal in Seattle-made
< instruments involves more than
§12,000.
Two of the stations will be es
tablished on Nushagak Bay, one at
Snag Piont and the other at Clark's
Point. Bristol Bay will also get
two of the stations, one at Kichak
and the other at Naknek. The
fifth station will be located on Lar
son Bay, Kodiak Island, and the
! sixth on the Alaska Peninsula.
The Alaska Packer's Association
a year ago purchased two sets of
Kilboume & dark apparatus and
they worked so satisfactorily that
estimated that the association will
affect a heavy financial saving
he larger order followed. It is
through the quick communication
that will be afforded by the new
land sattions. The larger vessels
in the associations great fleet of
cannery ships are equipped with
wireless.

GREATEST PRODUCTION OF
ANTIMONY ORES
The prices of antimony in 1915
were probably the highest known
since the metal became a regular
article of commerce. The highest
prices w-ere naturally reflected in
far the largest production made in
the United States, and probably
the same treatment is true for the
world’s production.
According to preliminary figures
collected for the United States Geo
logical Survey by Frank L. Hess,
the production of antimony ores in :
the United States is estimated toi
have been about 5,000 tons, con- '
taining about 2,000 tons of anti- j
mony, valued at $325,000.
The price, which in July 1914,
had been down to a monthly aver
age that ranged from 5.44 to 7.11 \
cents a pound and depended on the !
brand, rose gradually, though un
steadily, to the end of 1915, when
Chinese , Japanese and American ;
antimony were quoted at 40 cents
a pound.
Miners and smelters, apparently
thinking that the prices would not
be held long, did not begin produc
tion as quickly as they might have
done, but before the close of the
year properties in Alaska, Califor-1
nia, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, j
and Washington were producing.
Prices for ores ranged from $1 to
$2.10 per unit of antimony. At
first only ores carrying 50 per cent j
or more antimony were in demand,
but before the close of the year 20
per cent ores wer being shipped
from Nevada.
From Alaska, according to data
collected by Alfred H. Brooks,
about 635 tons of stibnite ore car- i
rying ZS per cent antimony was j
produced in the Fairbanks district.
It is reported that 132 tori3 were
shipped from Nome, but probab- i
ly more was mined.
The largest production was made I
from deposits near Wild Rose
Spring, in the Panamint Range,,
Cal. Other deposits w-ere mined in j
California—at many places in Kern
County, in the eastern end of San
Benito County, and on Moore’s Flat,
near Grass Valley. In Nevada
considerable quantities were mined
at many places, most of them in |
the northwest quarter of the State.
Oregon, Washington and Idaho pro
duced small quantities of ore, an-J j
in Arkansas a company was organ- j
ized to work old properties west ;
of Gilharn.
The present high prices are of
course temporary. The Chinese de
posits are large and are worked ;
by cheap labor, and deposits are
being developed in other parts of
the world, so that as soon as the
war is over, and possibly before,
prices will prbably drop nearly to
a level with those of 1914.

ANOTHER WAR INVENTION
Apparatus which is said will pre
vent destruction of ships by tor
I pedoes or mines has been invented
, by Franz Poulsen, engineer. De
tails are withheld, but the feature
i is said to be a device for diverting
the pressure on ships’ sides of the
air gases formed by the explosion.
The invention has been offered to
, the British Admiralty, which has
promised to test it at the earliest
possible time.
