THE SCHOOLS AND the chill DREN.

A number of men were standing near
the court house the other day, when the
bell in the schoolhouse tower sounded the
noon hour and the pupils of the different
departments came trooping out. It was
remarked by more than one that nowhere
in the world could be found a brighter
looking, healthier or happier lot of school
children. The remark was opposite, indeed

all children to be free of care, but in Alaska,

called upon to bear the burden, and their
young faces are not prematurely lined with

As To MAIL ROUTES.

A correspondent of THE NUGGET in to-
days issue has a timely article on the pro-
posed all American mail route from Valdez
to Nome. The writer is thoroughly inform
ed as to his subject, and he treats it in a
convincing manner 1t is high time that
our government abandoned the present Yu-
kOn route, considerable portion of which
is through foreign territory, and adopted
the one outlined in the correspondence re-
ferred to. The latter is fully one-third
shorter than that via the Yukon; it runs
through fairly we'll -tmbered country, and,
in short, presents no serious obstacles to
overcome in the transportation of winter
mails. The country which the proposed
mail route would traverse is being gradually
opened up, and within two or three years it
will be a scene of human activity.
The feasibility of the Valdez route for
quick service has been already demonstrate
ed. The past winter mail sent to Nome by
way of Valdez reached it's destination
several days ahead of mail sent in by
way of Skagway and the Yukon, and this,
too, over a new and little travelled trail, and
one on which there are few or no relay sta
tons whatsoever, and, besides, it must be
remembered that the Yukon service this
year has been better than ever before.
| Whether the government itself could or
would operate the proposed mail service
need not enter into this question at the pres
ent time. The superiority of the route, we
believe, admits of no doubt, and added to
II
through American territory The necessity
of urging the adoption of the Valdez route
for the transmission of mails ought to be
evident to all residents of this section OF

GOLD UNDER THE LAVA BEDS.

The lava beds of the Inmachuk country
offer an interesting field for the miner and
prOspector, as told in recent correspond
ence of this paper from that section. The
lava beds in that district are of large extent,
and the opinions of biologists are uniformly
favorable to the theory advanced that under
meath the lava crust may be found gold
placer deposits. Indeed, that this theory is
correct is now being demonstrated. Recent
ly number of prospectors sank through
the lava formation, and at depth of sixty
four feet found gravel and coarse gold
Our correspondent does not state how much
gravel was found, but he does venture the
opinion that beneath the lava beds many old
channels rich in golden gravel will be found
The prediction is not preposterous indeed
it is entirely reasonable, and it is not too
much to say that practical development of
the lava beds of the north country may open
up the most extensive gold placer deposits
yet found on Seward peninsula.

Gov. Brady may not have walk over

His second term will end on June next,

who knows him will testify that he would
make an ideal governor.

CHIEF VICTIMS OF THE WAR.

Korea, the ''hermt kingdom is now
car and seems destined to be the theatre
of great struggle While the Russians
and Japs are clashing, poor Korea will suf
fer the usual fate of the 'innocent by
stander." Her people must endure the hor
rors of war at their own dOorsteps at the
same time knowing that in the final adjust
ment they are sure to lose what little stand
ing they have as an independent nation.
For them, the war is to determine whether
Korea is to be Russian or japanese de-
tendency. They may not be swallowed up
at once, but the victorious nation will dOmi-
nate Korea as a final outcome.
In this crisis, so big with destiny for
them, the Korean people seem little better
than stupid spectators of the war drama
Their emperor has declared for Japan, and
ordered his troops to aid the mikado but
his toy army is not counted serious factor
in the situation. KOrea's stand is more i'm
portant as it furnishes an excuse for the
Sula. They are not on neutral territory,
but on the soil of an allied nation. Mean
while, the little called army of Koreans is
looking for safe place we'll in the rear as a
"hOme guard"
At first thought, it is hard to understand
the importance of Korea. 1t is territory
larger than the state of Minnesota inhabit-
ed by 100000 people, all of the same race.
They are Mongolians, larger and finer look
ing than the Chinese or the Japanese. Their
civilization is older than either, and they
carried civilization to Japan before the
Christian era.
The truth is, Korea is decrepit and de-
generate. The people do not have the
energy and resourcefulness of the Japs, nor
the patient industry of their Chinese neigh
bors. They inhabit the Scotland of the
Orient, mountainous peninsula famed by
sea breezes, and having winters of snow and
zero temperatures Yet they seem to have
no ambition and do not take to their empe
ror's efforts to introduce new industries and
education. They neither show prowess in
war nor skill in the arts of peace. An idle
nobility feeds at the public crib, the treasury
is hopelessly mortgaged, and the common
people fearfully tax ridden. They have
nothing left but the traditions of one of the
worlds Oldest civilizations. They are proud
of their antiquity, but seem to have no other
sentiment of patriotism. They seem born
to be political and commercial vassals, the
football of great nations.
The only hope for Korea is rmote one.
If her common people could be educated to
western ideas, and taught to forget the
worthless, dead culture they are chershing
SO proudly, they might be Weakened to new
life of Independence and achievement. The
war may, after all, bring wide 'open door
which will be the forerunner of such an
awakening.
