Speaking of the Alaska gold out put an exchange says: It is extreme. ly unlikely that the yield of gold from Alaska in any future year will ever fall below the level recorded thi' year. The new districts which have been opened. the improvements in transportation facilities and the intro, duction of machinery on a large scale. all go toward increasing pro. duction very largely It is most i'm, probable that there will be two sue, cessive years of drought and short. age of water for mining purposes. Given an ample supply of water and no labor troubles, next year will be the banner one in gold production in Alaska,

Dean Miluor Roberts, head of the school of mines of the University of Washington. is preparing his short course for mining men and others in terested in mining and metallurgy' The course begins on January and extends over period of three months. in which all of the course or any part of it can be taken up. No entrance requirements are necessary as the course is constructed for the practical mining man who has not had technical education in his voca' ton.
 Men are coming in from the min ing regions. and many of these. it is expected. will take advantage of the course. says the P.I. In the past. as we'll as this year, the course is such that all of a students time can be taken up in the work. yet there have been men who have success, fully carried on the course and still did outside business.
 
 In the morning the class room work is taken up and the lectures given. The afternoon hours are de- voted to drawing. mill work. assay, Ing and chemistry.
 A commission appointed this year by congress to investigate mining conditions. tn its report states it's opinion of schools of this kind as follows:
 The work Of such schools supple ments most effectively that of the colleges already established in many parts of the country for the more thorough training Of mining engin- rers"
 This commission was composed of Victor Watteyne. inspector general of mines in Belgium: Carl Meissner. councillor for mines in Germany, and Arthur Dcsborough. H. M. inspector of explosives. of England
 Last year twenty.six men registered at the University of Washington for the special course. Nearly all of these men were experienced miners, yet few of them expected to do out, side work while going to college. as most of them had made enough money to carry them through the term easily. Nothing is charged ex cept for the cost of materials and books
 In years previous many high-class men have taken advantage of the work offered Superintendents, man. agers. foremen and machine men of mines have also taken up this short course.
 The university's equipment in as saying. ore dressing and mining is complete.

Hearst Will
Knife Ticket.

William Randolph Hearst will not
support the Democratic ticket and
platform on November 3, and in all
probability, although he coyIy says
he does not speak for the Independ-
ence League, which his money and
his paid hirelings have organized,
that body of malcOntents will put
tempt by so doing to encompass the
defeat of Bryan.
This can mean but one thing, that
Hearst desires the election of Taft
He well knows that the Independence
League that he has organized, by
sending out personal representatives
into the highways and byways to
pick up and succor those discomfort
ed, disgruntled, political parasites
who have but one desire, to live off
the gleanings of the ambitious office
seeker, cannot elect its nominees.
He also well knows, however, that
the monied interests of the East, who
have and will ever fight William Jen-
which the Democratic party stands
as evinced in the platform adopted at
! the Denver. convention, that these
interests can with the following that
Hearst may have at his beck, injUre
greatly the Democratic party's chances
of success.
Gompers, leader of labor in Amer
lea, has heartily endorsed Democra-
| cy'S position on the labor question
He said it was better patriotism for
all to combine and exert every inf1u-
ence to the election of the Denver
nominees than 10 possibly elect Taft
by attempting to split the labor vote.
This statement of Gompers was re-
peated TO Hearst, who is in Europe,
| by cable, and called forth Hearst's
reply, that he distrusts and detests
the principles of Democracy, that he
had lost confidence in the sincerity
and integrity of the party leaders, and
| that while he could not speak for
the Independence League that he
thought it better patriotism" to
father new party, leaving the decid-
ed inference that this was to be done,
even though Taft be elected
Hearst's position has never been
much in doubt. He has been a Dem
Ocrat, a fusionist, an independent and

Tennessee, has decided that no mar

be permitted to teach in the public
schools. The why and wherefore of
this arbitrary action by the board is
not made public, but they should have
had good and sufficient reasons. The
chief aim of school officers should be
to supply their schools with capable
teachers and how it is that getting

The Republic of Honduras has
brought suit before the high court in
