In the matter Of woman's rights
Aoyssinia is far ahead of Europe. The

School Teachers Visit Alaska

The steamer Santa Ana had on board a number of school marms from the central states. They are enjoying the trip immensely, as everyone does wio trys it, and are imbibing some wonderful knowl- edge of Alaska that they will be able to pump into the kids upon their return. 4 large number of teachers came to the Pacific coast but not all of them had the courage to throw up everything and try a sea voyage, though most of the trip Is over a pleasant inland sea, probably the most picturesque in tine world. When notes are con- pared the ones who remained will envy the ones who took the trip.

Speaks We'll of Fairbanks

Al White. of Valdez and Far. banks, is again in town. He went to Fairbanks last fall and estab. lishcd a concern that is now in per feet running order. MT. White returned to Valdez to attend to business here and will keep busy looking after both ends of his en- terprise. He speaks very highly of Fairbanks, and claims that it will prove to be the greatest min ing camp in the world. He states that the decision of Judge Wicker sham, which compels every locator to prove the presen e of mineral, is one of the great factors in making the camp good one, as it started work on every claim and wiped out the possibility of holding land in idleness for speculative pur- poses. The decision referred to has made the judge the most popu- lar man in Alaska. Immediately upon its being rendered everyone got busy.

By referring to our advertising columns it will be seen that Capt. Charley Day, with his staunch little craft "The Flirt," is making a bid for a share of the trade on Prince William sound. His headquarters will be at Valdez, from which point he will take passengers or freight to and from any point on the sound. He is open for engagements at'any time, and in order to establish a sort-of system that people in Valdez or other points can depend on ahe will leave here regularly every Sat- urday and make the rounds to deliver or piak up at the regularly established places, and will stop Ut intermediate points on request.

T. D. Bradford of New York, president and treasurer of the Tide
 water Consolidated Coal Co. with holdings at Coal bay, Alaska, was a passenger on the Santa Ana and changed to the Dora. He will in- spect the workings at the mine, where he claims they are now in a position to ship. Extensive work has been done on the lodges and all is in readiness for shipping. Mir. Bradford will attend to the final details and if necessary the com pany will put ships of their own in commission. Their first attempt will be to supply the coast towns of Alaska, and to that end are now seeking contracts.

Railraod Survey Party Returns
 J. G. Stephens and Jack Carroll, who acted as guides for the Me Kenzie party on their trip from Valdez to and down the Copper river. returned on the Santa Ana after leaving the party at Orca. where they have established tenn porary camp to study up the possi- bility of railroad from Kayak to Prince William sound, and thence up the Copper river to the various copper mines. Nothing is yet defi- nitely known as to their report on this route, as after Investigating the route in that direction they will come to Valdez and study the possibilities from this point, though there is now a party in the field laying out a route from here over the di' idle and down the Tasnuna river to the Copper river, which makes very easy and short route to the interior.

By.Products of Placer Mines,

The geological survey will under take the promotion of a policy of education among placer miners, with the purpose of teaching them to appreciate the importance and value of the by-products of their mines.
 Some time ago a circular was sent out asking the placer workers to send in to the director of the | geological survey at Washington samples of the black sands and heavy residue of their washings. These are to be analysed and class flied, and if results justify. govern ment experts will thoroughly exam inc the localities furnishing the samples that show promise.
 This plan is designed to reform placer mining methods. Black sand usually carries profitable quantity of magnetic. Chromite also occurs. Gold-bearing pyrites are often abundant. Platinum is usually found in quantities more or less definitely fixed. Small diamonds, rubies, an occasional topaz or other jewels of commercial value are not unusual. Yet all of this precious material has been going and still goes to the dump. This is clear waste. Here is an instance. A deposit of gravel on the Fraser river that was being worked by hydraulic plant for the small quantity of gold con- tained was found to carry an abun- dance of the black sand. This sand was heavy and gave the min CTS no end of trouble and perplexitv because of the inability to get it and the gold separated. The sand carrying the finer gold went off in the sluicing operations and was lost. Loter investigations proved this sand to be present in the gravel at the relative quantities of twelve pounds per cubic yard. A couple of days work would handle a thousand yards of gravel contain ing about six tons of thls sand, which on analysis pfoved to be a high-grade concentrate carrying high gold and low platinum values. In other words, the mine, located on railroad, was producing a big smelter product all unknown to the owners. They learned after incal- culable values had been wasted.

This TimcSure

H. P. Elliott, of the Hubbard'and Elliott copper mining company states that prior to leaving Chicago he had a business interview with John Rosene, who was on his way to New York there to close up @ deal for the construction of a rail- road from Valdez to the interior. They were to meet again but MT. Elliott left Chicago before the re- turn of ROsene. On arriving at the coast, however, he received word to the effect that MT. Rosene had se- cured capital sufficient for the com pletion of 70 miles of railroad, the work on which will be begun im- mediateiy. Later dispatches coh- firm this statement, and Mir. Rosetie will arrive here on the Santa Clafa to start things in operation.
 Within the next forty days the people of Valdez will doubtless see the long-looked for railroad begun.
 The Hubbard and Elliott com pany have guaranteed to the rail- road people shipment of 56O tons of ore daily as soon as they are -in a position to receive it.

MAMMOTH SHOE HOUSE
SIG South Broadway
10000 Pairs of Latest Style
Shoes and Slippers at Half
Price. Today the Best
Day of All

1t would seem as though every person
in Southern California were buying
slippers as Christmast presents from
the enormous sale at the big, busy
Mammoth Shoe House, 519 South
Broadway. And why shouldn't they
buy them even by the armfui when the
present prices prevailing enable people
to get the very best and newest styles
at about half price? Yes, less than
half price in most cases. Mr.. Olcovich
bought nearly a carload of slippers
alone when he was east a few weeks
ago. Here are some of the snaps the
writer saw on their bargain tables and
racks: Women's elegant felt slippers,
fur trimmed, soft and comfortable with
flexible soles, CSC, and you'Il see lots
of shoe windows displaying the same
kinds with a So tag on them. Again,
house slippers at 49c that are worth
81 anywhere else. Mems slippers at
9Sc that it hardly seems possible to
make for that-$2 would be nearer the
price. Hundreds of other styles at
equally low prices. And following their
custom of former holiday seasons are
giving present to the boys and girls.
You will find shoes on sale as well as
slippers, and not a member of the
family but will find their size and at
half the usual price which is a well
come present any time, especially just
now.
