MINERS. ' NJ R||S|! ASK 4 X FQ|R |!|! MORE MAIL TRIPS
Operators on Slate Creek Want Camp Supplied With Mail During the
 Summer Months.

The Valdez Commercial Association has been asked by the miners op- erating on Slate creek to take up with the Postoffice department the great injustice that is being worked on the camp by the curtailment of their mail service.
 Last year the service was confined to two trips during the season, one in July and the other in August. and the plans for this season do not con- template any additional trips. In view of the fact that there are about 75 men on the creek from May lst to the end of September, there is no question that there should be mail services during this entire period.
 The Association has taken this mat ter up with the proper officials and it ts sincerely hoped that these men will get the consideration to which they are entitled.

 Mill Soon.

E. D. Westbrook, Jr.. D. E. Kellogg,
 of Ballard, and W. W. West, of Se-
 attle, leave, tomorrow for the Ivan hoe group of seven claims on 5houp bay, which they have bonded from the original locators and upon which they
 will spend considerable money de
 veloping the property and establishing its worth. .., ..- The party will take five tons of |vrovisionss and mining supplies with them and will have the outnt shipped to the mine by Ed, Wood. the Valdez freighter, who is now working on the Shoup glacier: with the big Cameron
 Johnson outfit. :: k The Ivanhoe group of claims lies just opposite and across the glacier from the Cameron-Johnson and Gold King claims and was located several years ago by Emil Davis and Bill Westerling. The property is consid- cred one of the best undeveloped prospects in the Shoup bay district and the owners uncovere a seven foot lead Jf free milling gold quar Z, as Esays from which gave returns of $45.0O Ia ton. The lead was uncovered for a is -arte of 1,50O feet
 MT. Westbrook and his associates
 will open up the property and if the
 returns are what they anticipate a stamp mill with capacity of 800 tons per month will be installed. The complete plant for the mine has been
 purchased and is ready for shipment north if Westbrook and his associates
 become satisfied that the claims will supply enough ore to keep the mill in operation.
 The work of inspecting and testing the property will be rushed to rap
 i'd completion, as the miners are anx-
 ious that they get the mill on the
 claims this season if it can possibly
 be done.

SHES AT SEX HYGIENE.
London Education Committee Will
Have Nothing to Do With It.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON. May 26.-The London educa-
ton committee will have nothing to dc
with the suggestion that sex hygiene
should be taught in class to elementary
school children. A subcommittee which
has been inquiring into the matter thinks
that SO far as class teaching is concerned
the problem had better be left alone
They argue that the knowledge Of chill
dren under fourteen regarding these mat
ters varies with the sort Of home from
which they come, and that while some
children know all about them there are
others to whom the knowledge would
come as a shock. They also feel that
for the teacher to talk about these things
would tend to break down the children's
natural modesty and reserve, and that
they would come to think 1t right to dis
cuss among themselves the facts revealed
to them by the teacher.
This question arises here as in most
places because a very small proportion
of children develop vicious habits The
committee thinks the school doctor might
be helpful in discovering the existence Of
these. They are also impressed with the
moral dangers existing in public parks
when there is insufficient supervision.
Teachers. clergymen and others are to
he circularized with memoranda contain
ing information which will be Of use to
them in counteracting existing evils, and
girls leaving school are to be specially
commended to them for private instruc-
