 SEWARD. Alaska. June SOL D. Meenach. of the firm of Meenach & Peterson. came in from Hope last night and says that everything is looking we'll at the Kenai Star,
 The Kenai Star Mine is eight mics from Hope and has been prospected by original locator Logman. There is about fifty feet of tunnel on the ledge showing an average width of l2 inches of ore that gives assays that are truly remarkable.
 One sample taken from some of the best looking ore available re- turned SI3,5lSOO to the ton and a sample weighing 2.65 oz. was assayed by Falkenburg and Laucks of Seattle and returned gold button worth $26O. This is just about a dollar to the ounce of quartz.
 Another picked sample was sent to Bogardus of Seattle and the phenom- enaI assay of S1oO,60l.46 to the ton was the return. Some of the poorest looking ore that was considered all base was taken and a sample concen- uatad to seven tons to one was sent to Wood & Co.,, of Denver, Colo, and assayed at S946OC to the ton
 Meenach & Peterson will ship al of their ore direct from the mine to the smelter at Tacoma Arrange ments have been made with the AL aska Coast Company to handle all of the ere and as soon as the snow is off the mountains a crew Of men will

be put Co work shooting the quartz and sackiug it for shipment to the smeIter It is estimated that the Kenaf Star will be able to ship from five hundred to a thousand tons of ore per month and owing to the location being so near to a salt water harbor the cost of trausporta- ton Co the smelter and the handling Of the ore there will be no greater than the cost Of stamp mill would be under ordinary conditions Capt Peterson. formerly Of Dawson and later of the famous Portland Bench Claim at Nome is expected to arrive in Seward ou one of the next boats
 In addition Co the Logan property, Peterson & Meen8ch have bonded ths Redmond property located 12 miles from Seward. The ore from this well known property win also be shipped to the smelter from this city.
 The ore from the Redmond prop arty win be transported from the mine to Seward in ore wagons and shipped from here. On an average sample sent to Falkenhurg and Laucks from the Redmond property returns of Sl3S.4O was received.
 This sample was clear white sugar quartz and did not show a particle Of free gold. Another sample or the arsenicaI iron from the ledge sent t, the same firm returned SI32.S0 in gold and Sl76 in silver and the average assays from the property SO far received are Sl3S.7O. c.

MIAMpS CELEBRATION
A SPLENDID SUCCESS

The great Anniversary celebration d
Miami last week was in every way
most complete success, and all visitors
were thoroughly satisfied with the en-
tertainment provided, but the erownlnf
feature of the celebration was undoupt
edly the aeroplane fight by Howard
eli, in the Wright Biplane, whlcf
made three ascensions Thursday after
nom, and four Friday afternoon, ano
in the last ascension Mr.. Gill was ac-
companied by John Sewall, one OF MI
amis Leading citizens.
To those who never saw birdmar
fly, the sight was most inspiring ano
provoked the wonder and admiration
Of the assembled thousands. The ease
and grace of vancouver at difficult turns
amply demonstrated that the Tying
machine has passed the novice stage,
and it seemed that perfection in aerlal
navigation must be reached when the
giant machine of 4O-foot width had
ploughed its way to dizzy he'ghth 1ar
above the clouds, estimated at 7,5o0
feet by the operator.
In speaking about his going up IN
the air." Mr.. Sewel said
1T was the finest ride ! ever expert
enced; the breeze was fine; the scenery
the greatest ever. The Everglades,
the dra mage canal, and the city OF MI
ami, Atlantic ocean and big steamers
passing all being in PLAIN view.
Owe passed some birds and they had
to duck to get out of our way. We
went up bout thousand feet, and the
sensation was one will never forget.
Howe yer, there was not moment OF
the ii me | was up that | did not enjoy
it,"
Mr.. Howard Gill, the Wright aviator,
remarked after alighting, that Mr..
Sewell was the least excited and cool
est of any pas senger he ever carried
and that Mr.. Sewell seemed to enjoy
every minute of the flight and kept
asking to 60 hig her, as it was fine.
To Mr.. Sewal belongs the never.tO-
be-taken-away honor of being the first
Miamian in fact the first Dade county
man to go up in the air and the first
man in all Florida to go up in Wright
machine, for this is the first time a
Wright machine has made a fight any
where in this state.

New York has already done SO by
organizing the high school students
into groups for supervised folk dane
ing. Jane Adams says, dances pro-
perly conducted are safeguards against
evil So we must in the face of facts
put aside our prejudices and adapt
ourselves to the true condition of
things.
Every school building which aims
to be an educational center should
equip it's building as a social center
as we'll and every town must see to it
that the young people are provided
with healthful. stimulating amuse-
ments as we'll as with definite part in
the management of the town affairs.
There are many methods by which
this could be reached but the safest of
all and the plan most widely adopted
seems to sbe that of providing place
for them in the work of town,
through the organization of Junior
League and giving to that league
certain definite authority, connecting
it with the older organizations as

The cost to the city would be nomI-
nal in the beginning. AS time goes
on, the evident benefit Of any system
organized and maintained would,
with the best welfare of the
children at heart, justify an
increased outlay. The city can
make no better investment of it's funds
than in providing means for the secur-
ing of healthier, happier more honest
boys and girls.
The movement will grow; the or

city that has tried the public play

cooperation system has found it any
thing but convincing success. Well
