“I wish to bring to your atten
tion a few points which I believe
are of special interest:
“There are very large deposits
of high grade antimony ores in
the vicinity of the Alaska Rail-,
road contiguous to * the excellent!
Pacific Coast harbor at Seward.
“Prior to the war the world
production of antimony was about
30,000 tons annually. That in
creased very materially during the
war and the uses of antimony are
apparently now increasing. Stor
age battery plates, cable coverings,
coffins, and paint are today the
leading uses and it is believed the
use of antimony in the manufac
ture of white paint has promise
of wide expansion.
“About 10 per cent of the cost
of smelting antimony is labor and
j about 45 per cent is fuel. The
I Tariff Commission Report gives
i the cost of production of antimony
! in existing Chinese plants at
! about $63 per ton, using coal val
| ued at $11.50 per ton. The Alaska
i Railroad buys coal at Anchorage,
j Alaska, at $3.50 per ton and within
a few miles of the antimony de
posits in the Kantishna region
are great deposits of lignite in
beds up to 40 or 50 feet thick.
Also in the same vicinity are large
deposits of high grade cannel coal,
and in other nearby areas are

50-foot veins of anthracite and
large forests of timber for pro
duction of charcoal and lumber.
“In connection with smelting
and general chemical activity it
is interesting to know that in the
Alaska Railroad belt there are
also great beds of limestone with
in a few miles of the cola fields.”
LEGION SURVEY SHOWS
LUMEN GOD-SEND
A survey of the United States
through department officers of
the American Legion, as to the use
of money obtained by World war
veterans under the recent 50 per
cent loan act. refutes the propa
ganda that the funds are being
dissipated.
I Instead, signed statements by|
j department offices, received at j
National Headquarters in Indian- j
; apolis, Ind., show that the money
! thus obtained has been a verit
able Godsend, according to Ralph
iT. O’Neil, national commander of
the Legion.
The grader and caterpillar shov
el which arrived from the South
on the SS Alaska, goes forward
to the Alaska Road Commission

FRENCH TENNIS PUYEBS
SUPEMORTOIMERICUIS
NEW YORK, May 11. (£>)—It
will be three years before the best
in American tennis do anything
but lose to the French. That is
the opinion of one half of the
| greatest international net com
bination, American or any one
nation, has yet developed.
It is the opinion, in other words,
of Wm. M. Johnston, who, with
one Bill Tilden, battled through
seven straight successful Davis
Cup campaigns.
The admiral, who was conduct
ing an examination for the Navy,
was addressing one of the candi
dates
“Who, in your opinion, are uie
three greatest sailors in British
history?” he said.
“I’m sorry, sir, I didn’t get your
name when I entered the room,"
replied the student," but the other
two are Nelson and Drake.”
