YUKON TIMING
Some Canadian Laws RegIating Mining in the Yukon
 Country

A special correspondence to the En- gineering and Mining Journal makes the following report of the mines oi the Yukon and says chat the number of placer mines operated in the Yukon Territory on June }. 1908, was 7lSi. The Placer Mining act requires work to be done on each clam to the value of S200 each year, but claims may be grouped so that expenditure on one or more claims shall be consid- cred as covering all claims included in the group, and all the claims enumerated have been worked either separately or as one of a group. The number of quartz mining claims ip good standing in the Territory is ap- proXimately lo54. In the southern sec lion extensive operations in copper and gold mining are being carried on. At Wihtehorse a number of copper mines are in operation. and considerable quantities of ore being shipped. At Conrad considerable development in gold-quartz mining has been done with good results. There are 13 hy- draulic mining locations in existance comprising a total frontage of 3Sla miles, which are ali being operated in some degree. There are 56 dredg- ing leases, comprising 304 miles of the submerged beds of rivers. These leases are confined to the Y ukon. Forty Mile. Klondike, Stewart and Hootalinqua rivers. There were 12 large dredges in operation, nearly 5000 GU. yd. per day and it was anticipated that before the end of the season several there would be installed.
 The only means by which the depart ment can compute the product of gold in the Yukon is upon the amount or which royalty has been paid. The pro vision for the payment of rayalty came into force Sept. II, 1897, and the records since that date show a total production of ss2. 9S3, 636. The maxi mum production was reached in 19023 with an output of SIP, l13,015, each subsequent year showing falling off, as will be seen by the following fg- ures i905-4,, s1o, 790, 663: 1904-5 sS,- 222, 053; l905-6. s6, 504, O07; 1906-7, s. 304, 79i: 1907-8, g, S2O, l61.
 Two coal mines were in operation. The Tantalus, about 2l5 miles above Dawson produced last year over 1000 tons and the Sourdough, about 5e miles below Dawson, produced over 5000 tons. The coals retails at from s15 to SIS per ton.

4 copy of the new congressional act for the government of Alaska has been received, and the two most notable changes relate to saloon licenses and the practice of medicine.
 Instead of graduated saloon licenses now in force regulated by the number Of inhabitants, maximum license of one thousand dollars is fixed. No Il. cense will be granted to town or community unless it has a United State commissioner or deputy mar shal. excepting road houses, which are defined in the act. No license will be allowed where dance hall is maintained or where gambling is sup posed to be carried on. Not only is the sale of liqIor forbidden to Indians. but stores are rot allowed to sell them ex tracts containing a high per cent of alcohol. The prosecution Of offenses of this kind has been taken from the commissioners court and made felony 10 be tried before the District jucge.
 A license to practice medicine or prescribe drugs, watercure, electricity pr practice obstetrics must be obtained and the applicant must be a graduate of some reputable school of medicine, unless he has already practiced in Alaska for three years prior to ths act.

"I toiled after 1t, sir" re- piled Lamb, "as some men toll after virtue" He was always on the point of giving up tobacco, but he never quite succeeded.

Notice is hereby given that the Ketchikan School Exhibit will be held in the school building, Friday, April }, from 1 to and from to 9 p. ID. desire to call the attention of the pub- lie to the fact that each teacher h. $ supervised and taught her own ant
 work. 1 urgently request every resi- dent of Ketchikan Wheter or not a supporter of the school, to visit the exhibit and pass judgment upon the
 work which has been done by the pu- pls. And is is my policy to continue
 the character of the work which has been begun this year. namely, the
 com hination of academic and industrial
 work, in the future. for without such
 combination school is not in keeping
 with the present educational move- ments of the world.
 4 continuation of this work demands
 efficient, thoroughly trained teachers, who, like any good manager of bus mess firm, deserves and can command good salary. and who have knowledge
 of the subjects to be taught-nOt ex-
 perimenters on pupils and courses oi study or adventurers who come to Alaska for the sake of the experience,
 wbo draw their pay with little regard for the welfare of the pupils ndiyid-
 ually or of the school as a whole. Dc you think the best is too good for your
 boy and girl?
 To the above conditions ought to be
 adde1 stringent compulsory educa-
 tion law which would require regular
 attendance of all boys and girls oi school age, thereby furthering not
 only the interest of the child but that
 of the community, the state, and the nation.
