PLACER MINING TAUGHT
 AT STATE UNIVERSITY

Seattle. Nov. 5-Placer mining the only mining operation in which the man of small capital snn en- gage on his own hoOk-is receiving particular attention in the college or mines in the University of Washing ton. The student of placer mining is given instruction in measuring the gravel he works, in keeping ac- curate record Of the gold he re covers, and in testing placer ground
 A placer miner who had spent years in the Nome field came to the university college of mines for the short session. He learned how to
 curacy and to calculate the value of ground. At the end of the course he said: q recently paid an engin- eer $1,O0O to make certain tests that I have learned to make for myself in three months of well di- rec7ed study"
 The college of mines s equipped with full mining machinery for gold. copper, lead, and zinc Ores. Dean NIilno Roberts has said that any intelligent man who spends three months in these laboratories examining and testing varieties of coal, for instance, and studying the geology of the coal fields, will be competent to prospect for himself in the north, or if he has had eXperi- ence to carry on development work for a company.
 The whole aim of the college is to afford practical mining men a course in which they may become tamiliar with improved methods Of and machinery for mining, to give students who have not had experi- ence both theory and practicey and to develop to tEe utmost the range Of the man who wants to mine on his own account or to direct min ing operations for concerns with plenty of capital.
 Each winter for the past seven teen years a short, course has been given for the especial benefit of practical miners. Last year there was an enrollment Of forty-four in this course, The registration in- cluded representatives from all parts of the world. Many were from Alaska and British Columbia.
 This year the short course will open January 4, and continue to April 10. Admission to the classes will be without examination. In struction will be gwen through lec- lures, laboratory experiments, and visits to mines and plants in opera tion, all under the supervision of | twelve of the instructors in mining i engineering.
 No preparation is needed for this | course. In every case possible, the l and capacity and ambi- ton of the individual student is taken into consideration. Many of the miners who come to washing ton wish to learn, for instance, how l to make Q pocket compass survey l of q claim. They are taught this by Professor charles E. Newton, who has had many years of eXperi- l ence in mine surveying.
 We expect a larger enrolment in the short course this year than last" said Dean Roberts. "We are favored and aided a great deal by | tke location of the university, which l could not be better situated with reference to the teaching of prac- teal mining of diverse kinds" 1

WHAT THE ELECTION SHOWS

Ina territorial election returns for delegate to congress, as pub lisbed in today's Daily Alaskan show several very interesting facts' not the least among which is that notwithstanding the strenuous work done in Bunnell's beha2E by the democratic organs and the under handed methods used by poltlcal tricksters at the eleveath hour of the campaign to try and make the voters of Alaska believe that it was absolutely essential for the future welfare of the territory that 2 democrat be returnd to congress- Mir. Wickersham, with falling off Of S7S votes in the total territorial returns since the election in August of 1912, has made a gain of 5s' in his grand total.

 The most phenomenal and sensa- tional feature 0f the election in the first division was the congress sional vote in HaineS. In 1912 it
The daily Alaskan., 1914-11-06

There are several peculiar fea- lures about the Haines returns. For one thing, the total number of votes has very nearly doubled since the previous election, showing that how ever backward the rest of the terri tory is, that that town is steadily gaining in population; and for an- other that the greater part of those arriving there are of the democratic political persuasion, for in no other way can we reconcile the discrepancy between the vote of two years ago, when the democratic candidate received goose egg, and that of Tuesday, which gave Mir. Bunnell q total of 40.
 However, the increase in the Haiues vote did not all go to Bunnell, for Wickersham receiv- ed 21 more than he did in 1912, very nearly half of the total in crease of 53.
