.TAYDTTEv1LLA N. e., February H.
Yesterday tho trustees OF the city grad
cd schools together with their leading
citizens and property owners, held o
meeting for the purpose OF drafting a
bill for submission to the Legislature
calling nm election In May next to vote
on the proposition Of levying a special
tax In Cross Crock Township {Fayette-
vlle) tor the support OF said schools,
and also for authority to Issue $4,000 in
bonds to DO expended IN tho purchase Of
the buildings now occupied by the
graded schools, their proper equipment
eto. The tax proposed is to be at the
rate OF twenty-five cents on every 100
OF real property, and seventy-five cents
on the poll, with o provision for setting
aside $500 annually as sinking fund
FOR tho payment Of the bonds at maturI-
ty, and another $500 to meet the interest.
The Board Of Trustees is to be reorgan-
bers-one from each OF the seven wards
OF the city, two for the western suburb
OF Haymount and two at large. One
member Is to be chosen as superinend-
ent who will be also superintendent OF
the whole graded school system.
some years ago the people OF fayette-
Vile voted down a similar proposition to
levy a special school tax, and It remains
to be seen whether or not the necessi-
tics of the case have brought about any
change OF feelings. Thoughtful people
here insist that should tho special tax
measure DO adopted there should go
hand In hand with II comprehensive
plan for increasing the efficiency and

school. and that hereafter no one should
receive the position of teacher who has

animation as to qualifications.

 Route to Yukon.

Today Capt. Patterson. who has been master on the lower Yukon river steamers for some years, and Wm. Taylor, the veteran mail car rier who has heen on the Valdez Eagle route this winter. leave here for Fort Gibbons. at the confluence of the Panama and Yukon rivera
 They will travel light and wait at Chistuchina mail station for certain mail that will be dispatched by regular mail carriers on the 15ti, inst. After getting this maid they will make all speed possible to the postofiice at Weare, with a view to demonstrating that Valdez and the Panama river is the short est and best mail route to Nome and St. Michaels.
 While it is not expected that as fast time will be made on this trlal trip as can be made should a con- tract be awarded, it is reasonably expected that sufficient time will be saved as to demonstrate beyond all question the superiority of the Valdez route over all others to the lower Yukon river, Nome and St. Michaels. A few copies of this is- sue of the PRosPECrOR will make up part of the mail.

THE TANANA STRIKE.

Reliable information has just been received from the scene of the Panama strike, stating that the rich ground covers large area, and seems to be of about the same richness all the way through. Sur face pans average 10 te 20 cents. Thirty cent pans being obtained three feet down.
 There are now about 200 people in that section and a great rush is on from Nome, Dawson and all Yukon points.
 - The construction gang on the Panama division of the telegraph line have all quit work and gone to the strike. Lieut.. Gibbs, who had charge of the telegraph crew, was one of the first men on the ground. He claims that it is a second Klondike.
 The strike was made 20 miles above Cinema station. on tributaries of the Panama. It is about 1SO miles from Weare.
