POVERTY AND EDUCATION.

In her paper read before the Univers-
ty of Chicago Danes Miss Katherine
Davis threw some practical light on the
relation between poverty and education.
Miss Davis demonstrated by a calcula-
ton extending even to the daily menus
that a student could maintain himself
and his wife on $500 during the school
year of nine months, or at rate Of
Sill day.
The recent assertion Of Professor
Woodward that no more than 10 per
cent Of the pupils Of the public schools
were forced by the poverty Of their par
ents to abandon their studies has been
repeatedly questioned and the contrary
dogma maintained that no man could
support his family and educate his
children on 81 day.

own poverty is not popular subject
for discussion with those who suffer
mildly Is one reason for this. In al
dition, the mere statement of the parent
that he withdrew his children from
school because of poverty IS always sub
ject 10 his definition of poverty. This
definition would vary widely according
Ia the income of the leiincr.
The assertion seems fair. despite
calculations to the contrary. that The
ability of parent 10 educate his

cation and on the sacrifices he Is willing

 The DAILY ALASKAN office,
 The announcement in Sunday moring's paper of the plans for taking this vote ex- cited considerable interest, and although 1t was distinctly stated that the voting would not begin until Tuesday, there were many inquiries at the polling places yesterday for the ballot boxes
 Also there were many callers during the day at the DAILY ALASKAN office in re- gard to the matter, some just 10 pass a compliment on the action taken and others to offer suggestions as to how such vot ing should be arranged, in their opinion. The prohibltionsts thought they ought to have show and one gentleman called who wished to vote for the social democracy party It would have been e1sy to have compromised these political parties in the ballot, and also the mddle-of-the-raad popuists, in short, to have given all the candidates; but alas, when the suggestions came in the ballots were already printed.
 As to oth suggestions, it was believed advisable 10 keep to the simple form a ready adopted and which the voting pub lie is now familiar with.
 There Is every evidence that the ballot ing will te falr, as there can be no object in defeating the ends in view and no pos sibilitv of obtaining any amusement out of ballots with false names.
 The votes cast today will be counted In the evening and the result published in to- morrow's DAILY ALASKAN. Tn. ballot will be published in the DAILY ALASKAN every day and up to and including next Tuesday, and those out of town may cut 1t out and mail it to this office with one cent stamp, marking the envelope vote on presidential election" These will be placed in the ballot box unopened a counted by the judges with the rest.

IS LOADED WITH GOLD
One Pan of Ore Yields S4O-Com- pany Has Been Incorporated to Work Mine and Stock Put on
 Market-2O,OOO Shares for Skag- way-Bennett Takes First Issue.

Later prospecting has developed wonde full richness in the Cleaner group of mines at Gleanerville. on Taku Arm. near Gol1- en Gate. A vein has been located which 1t is claimed extends the full length of the claim the ore Of which is literally loaded with native gold. The gold is in sheets and solid chunks and literally saturAtes [ the quartz, A single pan of the quartz pounded up in mortar yielded $40.
 The fortunate owners of this immensely rich proposition have incorporated under the laws of British Columbia as the Cleaner Mining and Milling Company. There are 5oo,ooo shares of stock of the par value of so cents per share. The owners of the five claims and fractions in the group are the incorporators and board of directors. Davd Stevens, collector of Canadian customs at the summit. is pres dent of the company, P. F. Scharschmidt, the newspaper and transportation man, is secretary, and the Merchants BanL of Hal flax treasurer. D. Van Cramer, of the Merchants Bank of Halifax, and H. Price and A. P. Briggs, of the steamer Cleaner complete the directorate.
 The Cleaner group adjoins the famous Engineer group.
 Messrs. Stevens and Scharschmdt were at SkagWay Saturday and they exhibited specimen of the quirtz, which they said was not picked, which justiGes the claims they put forth for it's great value.
 "The pan of quartz from which $40 was taken" said MT Scharschmidl, "was washed by my brotherin-law and it consisted of broken pieces picked up on the surface. The quartz was not selected but taken as it avs. There is a sample piece of quartz on the steamer Cleaner which is nearly half pure gold. Of course it will not all run that way.
 "This very rich vein was struck only short time ago. 1t extends the full length of the claim.
 Our company put 20. .ooo shares on the market at Bennett at ten cents share, and il was sold at once. We propose to put 2o,ooo shares on the market at Skagwav in few days at 25 cents share. The money to be derived will be expended solely in development of the property,
 "There are 23o. 900 shares of treasury stock. We will only sell enough of that to procure money to put the mine on a paying basis. The balance will remain there for the benefit of the incorporators and others buying stock alike.
 We will work four or i've men all winter. and next summer machinery vii be put put in.'

 "l do not think there will be any great demand for beef In Dawson thIs winter. There are too many idle men to create much of market. If these men were all working and could sftordl to .stp a good price for meat there would be demand and not enough beef could be taken in to supply it. The price will necessarily have to be low before those unemployed can purchase it. There are so many other goods that can be sold below ti.e cost of beet that only those with a good income buy beet.

Disabling Automatic System
 Work of Miscreant.
NEW CABLE GOING IN
Company Had Two on Hand and System Will Be In Working Order in Few Days-Manager Meyer Would Give Reward.

Upon investigation, yesterday, line man of the Arctic Telephone Co.,, dis covered that the cable leading from the pole on the southwest corner of State street and Fifth Avenue to the switch board, q few feet farther down State street, had been punctured with a knife, thus permitting water to- run into the coil and cross several of the wires, making the system useless.
 Manager Herman Meyer, of the tele- phone company, was very indignant yesterday when he heard of the dis covery.
 That is the cause of all the trouble of the past two weeks, said MT. Meyer Before that we never had complaint from any of our patrons, but lately nu- merous complaints have been coming in, and several days ago I turned off the current entirely
 ''rhe first trouble dates from the day our lineman fell from the pole and was severely injured, it being known, by whoever did it, that we had no one to investigate and ascertain the cause of the trouble.
 Tt just happened that 1 have an- other cable down on the wharf, which is now being placed in position.
 'I would give handsome reward if 1 could learn who did the cutting. It could not have been an accident, as it had been cut in several places by some one who understood what ne was doing"
 These cables are manufactured only in the east, and should anything hap pen to this one the system would be useless until new one could be pro- cured from the east.
 These cables are composed of two hundred wires, each wrapped in paper, and covered with a lead pipe. This pipe had been punctured in several places, evidently with pocket knife, thus allowing the rain water to enter, tting the paper wrappings and cross ing the wires.

WANT A BOAT Porcupine Anxious For a
 Daily Service
WANT TO TRADE HERE
Takes Too Long to Go to Juneau Ha nes and Porcupine People Will Do Their Share Toward Giving the Necessary Support.

Capt. M. J. O'Connor who is heavily interested in the Rainy Hollow and the Porcupine country, arrived Monday night to consult with the postoffice authorities with reference to daily mail service from Skagwav to Haines. He says the miners and business men from Haines to Rainy Hollow are anxious for a daily boat to Haines.
 "Over 1000 people get mail at Raines," 1" said Capt O'Connor, "and there will be a remarkable increase over that number next year. The people all want to get their mail from Skagway and to do business at this city. Under the most favorable cir cumstanoes it takes three days to go to Juneau and return, and at one time last winter we could not get mail from Juneau for three weeks. It only takes couple of hours to reach Skagwav. This is vour city's advantage.
 "A daily steamer could not fail to bring thousands of dollars in business to your merchants and hotels.
 Do we want telephone line? It would be all right if we had a boat so that orders could be filled or other com missions carried out, otherwise it would be useless. do not see that it could avail much unless it were extended to the Por- cupine and eventually to Bear creek and Rainy Hollow. It is doubtful if it would pay interest for some years. But trans> portaton is W hat we are interested in.
 "We are anxious to.trade with Skag- way. and all we areasking for is daily steamer. The people of Haines, and in the mines will join YOU in guarantee of busi- ness if such is required to secure one. SkagWay is our natural outlet"

SMALLPOX SCARE OVER
E. s. Busby Says Dr. Farce Will Be
 Recalled on the 3Ist.

E. $ Busby, representative of the Ca nadian government in Skagwav, returned last Saturday from an official visit to White Horse.
 He reports that there are not m any peo- pie in that city and business is very quiet. Merchants expect big rush about holiday time.
 Speaking of the late smallpox scare he said:
 Lately 1 have received word from Dawson that all the trouble at that point is over. There never really was any danger of an epidemic as the government physicians were too careful for that.
 ''Dr. Pare, who has been stationed at the Summit to examine all passengers will be sent back to White Horse on the 3Tst of the month. He would have been recalled sooner but the government pre- fers to do such things on the 18th or the last of the month,
 My business at White Horse was purely official, more or less business hav- ing to be settled at the end of every sea son."
