LOOKING FOR
TONS OF Mail,

1t is expected that several tons of
the next week. Some of it is locked
for on the Little Delta, and the
Reliance will probably clean up the
balance in sight at the time she passes
down. If the boats do this service it
will be gratis, there being no govern
ment provision for carrying mail
between Iditarod and the Yukon river
during the month of May.
The first ais to arrive in Iditarod
last summer were as follows: On the
steamer Tanana, June 3, two tons;
Reliance, June II, six tons; first
through mail from Dawson, June D,
nine tons. 1t is not probable that the
first summer mails this season will be
nearly 50 large. At the time next to
the last winter mail left for Iditarod
there were no accommodations remaining
at Nulato or Kdllag.
On the arrival of the next mail Post
master Thurston will probably receive
notification of the letting of the new
summer contract. -Heretofor summer
season contracts have only beer for
single season, but this time bids were
called for for two summers. The SER
vice will very probably be the same as
last summer-four mails monthly. All
Iditarod mail will come by way Of Holy
Cross. The postmaster has recon-
mended that in future mail from the
Outside for Iditarod shall all be for
warded by way of St. Michael, which
he believes will give quicker and more
satisfactory results.

MAY YET GET PAY
In KOYUK DISTRICT

According to John Kerniss, who went
into Nome the first part of April, the
Koyuk country, where good prospects
were found the early part OF last win
ter. still has a fair chance of making
good. The Koyuk is tributary to the
head of Norton bay, Norton sound.
The first prospects were found at the
mouth of Ruby gulch, but Kerniss and
partners have lately been working in
Placer creek. He said to the Nome
Industrial Worker that the gold prob
ably comes from Star mountain, which
is highly mineralized and appears to
he of similar formation to Anvil mount
ain in the Nome district.
Leaving the surface indications
which would pay for shoveling in with
plenty of water, Kerniss and partners
penetrated 100 feet Of frozen muck,
fine cemented gravel and black sand.
Through the entire body Of this they
found encouraging prospects. Then
then they went through 80 feet of slide

HOW IT APPEARED TO
THE FAIRBANKS TIMES

Fairbanks Times, April ): In the
opinion OF the Times there is much to
be explained before the people of
Tanana will accept the candidacy of
Martin Harrais with sufficient enthusi-
lsm to insure him majority in this
district at the coming delegate election.
The people are not So much con
cerned in the details of the Valdez
convention as in the fact that there
are two Democratic candidates for
delegate to congress instead of one
And no matter how nearly right Mr.,
Harrais may be in his contention that
he was jobbed in the convention, the
fact still remains that there are two
Democratic candidates, and each with
sufficient following to defeat the
other.
Ore of the things Mr. Harrais will
have to explain when he returns to
Fairbanks is the fact that he expressed
publicly no desire to become a cand =
date prior to his departure for the con-
vention. Another is the presence Of
William O'Connor in the Harrais wing
of the Democratic party.
The first point may be of little con
sequence when the facts are known,

crystalized limestone which carried
coors large and small, with black sand :.
rubies, and other encouraging indica-
lions of pay. When Kerniss left they
were down l53 feet, where they had
had run into bunch of sand and fine
gravel, showing they were through the
slide. They hoped to reach bedrock
soon. About dozen men were work
ing in the vicinity at that +ime, and
prospecting will be continued there
throughout the summer.

The Senior Grafton, by Ernest y.
Jackman followed the poem. in part, as
follows
Let us look upon the ideals of the
college half a century ago, and upon
the courses then presented The col
lege was not lacking in noble aims But
the courses tended to the covering of
a narrow field. The college held itself,
in sense. apart from the issues of
current politics and practical citizen
ship 1t was as if the function of the
college was deemed to be the produc-
ticn of men in type and interests diff
ferent from the great mass of Amer
lean citizens Then the significant
word was culture" today it is ser
vice.
1t is no unmeaning thing that We in
common with thousands of young men
like US, are, this month, entering the
field of active service. In very true
sense. we have been picked for a spe-
cial opportunity, and a special prepa-
ration To many of us the privilege OF
casting ballot in a national election,
comes this year. for the first time Be-
tween now and the first of November,
here is ample time for the most polit-
1cally ignoran of us to prepare to do
his first great service faithfully and in
telligently, There is time for men and
Parties to become known, for issues 10
be studied. Then, having formed def
mite and honest opinions, as to wha
constitutes national welfare, no matter
which party we endorse, we shall be
found true to modern college spirit
and the first great duty of American
citizenship.
With the Grafton the exercises for the
morning We're brought to close.
