BIG PAYSHOOT
 ON HATFIELD
Miners Drifting on Ledge Break Into Big Body Of
 Pay

A short time ago it was an- nounccd that the miners working in the tunnel on the Mayficld group had encountered the ledg <, after driving a distance of f8O feet. A crosscut showed the ledge to be t2 feet wide in the tunnel and giving a depth of 200 feet above the surface showing.
 Date and Dominic, the con- tractors who are driving the tun- mel, cam, to town for more sup plies and report that after drift ing on the ledge for a distance rich pay shoot has been tapped which gives promise of making the Mayilcld big producer. It is reported the pay is eight feet wide and that gold can be free ly seen in the rock.
 The Mayficld company has no stock for sale, it's treasury stock being placed in Chicago and Pitts burg by MT. Reese, who is now on the outside. The company is negotiating for the purchase of a 20-stamp mill which is idle near Douglas and the machinery will be shipped to the property at once.

Success for Valdez Sure.

The outlook for Valdez this summer was never better. Go! ail around and in back of us; cop per across from us, dyke pracli- cally assured, and i7 bank cases out of 32 ordered here for trial, and it's likely the other t6 will be here alsO--mcans 10 witness cS and big business for the n,er- chants and everyone all summer and fall.
 Politics are warming up all ov- CT the country. We have the Dem . ocratic convention, which meets here the latter part of March and Republican primaries, and the election for delegate and prcsi- dcntiaI nomination and election. Taken all in all the outlook never looked better. Although Valdez is quiet, it's not the only. place, as there is the same general de- prcssion all over until the prcsi- dential aspirants are chosen and decided upon. So from a promis- ing standpoint Valdez outranks them all OH account of having some of the advantages mention ed, which no other town in Alas ka will have ihis year. The Cliff is about on a paying basis again, and look at the new stamp mills ordered, so there will also be q big demand for mining men. The road commission, which has al- ways done iis best for Valdez, again ask for liberal appropria- tions, and it looks as though, fl all these expectations are realiz- cd, Valdez will have to import help from other places tO carry on Inc work.
 Bringing this to a close, mol from an advertising standpoint
 ics fair for you to know the Big Place is again boosting.

Many Men Of Prominence Mentioned

The selection Of a new president for
Howard university in Washington will
not be an easy matter. There is 40
dearth OF candidates, but to discover
from the array Of material the man Of
intellectual breadth, moral strength.
winning personality, constructive gen
ius and executive ability. such as DR..
Thirkield Is and what his successor
must be, will tax the wisdom Of the
board OF trustees, TO which body this
duty will fall
It is evident that there will be no
undue haste In filling the vacancy, and
the fitness OF every candidate will be
fully tested before q choice Is decided
upon Since the financial future of
the university is practically secure be-
cause OF the federal appropriations
that will come year after year the ar
gument that a white man must head
the school In order TO influence con-
gressIonal favor becomes less fOrcefuL
There is a general feeling that the
time Is ripe for the election Of a COM
petent colored man for a school that
is essentially a Negro institution,
though not officially styled as such.
Many Of the white members of the
board and OF congress have expressed
themselves in sympathy with this idea
and will lend their support TO the right
colored man brought forward for the
position. Friends Of the school are
raking the country with a fine tooth
comb in their effort to pick out a Ne
gro educator who is likely to ill the
bill.
Some Of those mentioned in this con-
nection are Kelly Miller. George W.
