The people of Juneau took the first step toward the consummation of a plan to erect modern, fre.proof school building in this city, at the meeting held in the council chamber last night. The plan acted upon was one prepared by the school board, which. proposed that the citizens of the city pledge their credit to a bank. or banks. or to anyone else that would lend the money that will be required in addition to the amount of money that will accrue to the school fund from license taxes and other sources. This plan was urged for the reason that under the laws in force in Alas ka neither the school board nor the city council have the authority to create an indebtedness. The plan of the school board was approved by those at the meeting and among those present security for SLOOO was pledged in about five minutes.
 The plan of the school board, as ap- proved by the meeting, is for the city to purchase the remaining quarter of the block on which the present school house is located, and to erect thereon a fire proof. modern school building of not less than sixteen rooms, a large assembly hall. furnace rooms. etc; that this building be so designed that at least half of it can be completed within the next five months for the purpose stated.

Juneau Takes First Step
 for Modern School House

This action of the citizens of Juneau was taken after the following state meut, in writing, was presented to the meeting by the members of the board, Senator H. T. Tripp. acting as spokes- man:
 The problem that the City of Ju- neau is facing today relating to the school question is of such grave i'm portance that it assumes the nature of a serious question which must be taken in hand by the citizens and property holders of the city.
 The unusual growth here during the present term overcrowded our schoolrooms to such an extent that it was necessary to procure outside buildings and hire two additional teachers in order to provide for the wishing to attend school
 As this term is drawing near to it's end. it is evident that three more teachers will be required to attend to the necessary wants of the influx. The two extra schoolrOoms now being used could only be arranged for temporarily and cannot be had for the next term at any cost. And, as three more class rooms must be provided for the be- ginning of the next term - which makes a present necessity of five rooms staring us in the face-without considering that all of the present

NEW DISTRICT RICHERzz
 THAN KLONDIKE.

P. C. Cummings. who is heading party of Seattle business men into the new diggings. that it attracting so much attention just now on the Ca nadian side. is on the trail of SkoO- kun Jim. He says he had an inter- view with Skookum Jim before the latter had seen Carmack. Jim told him at that time that Silver creek was not the only place that gold had been discovered. He said that the best strike was only six feet deep. and that the gold is more pletiful than it was in the Klondike. Cummings is an old timer in the Klondike country and an acquaintance of long standing Of Skoo- kum Jim. though he admits that the latter would not tell him any more than he had already said after he had had an interview with Carmack.
 Cummings and his party were not surprised yesterday when they learned that Skookum Jim, Carmack and Billy Leake had given the other stampeders the slip at Atlin and had struck out in a different direction than that which lead to Silver creek.
 Cummings party will attempt to as certain while at Atlin just where Skoo- kun Jim found the ground that "is richer than the Klondike" They feel that this information has not yet been given to the public. and that perhaps it has not yet been guessed. Cum mings says he is on the trail of Skoo- kun Jim. and he thinks he can pick it up.
