FORMER CORDOVAN MAKES
 GOOD STRIKE IN ARIZONA

Our former townmans, George A, Shea, of Kingman, Arizona, has dis. covered high grade ore on the Ohio group of claims, sixteen miles from where he Is now living. Samples as. sayed are reported to contain telluri. um in quantity. Several shallow cuts have been opened on the property and a shaft is now being sunk on the vein :. Samples from this shaft, which is but eighteen feet deep, show values of from S17O to $1SS4 per ton. The vein is composed of stringers of a highly oxidized quartz, several of which con- tain disseminated specks of gold and silver tellurides. The width of the vein has not yet been determined

CUSTOMS DUTIES re
 ALASKA ARE TO HIGH

A certain Valdez ladv's husband is enjoying a joke a her expense and she is wondering if the people of the eastern states will ever become ac- quainted with the fact that Alaska is not a foreign country or one of the Canadian provinces. Some weeks ago she sent a big New York mail or der house a small order accompanied by a postoffice order. The last mail brought letter from the house, the Chas. Williams Stores, stating that they had been forced to cut out their foreign order department owing to the customs duties and trouble in sending goods in bond to Alaska - Valdez Prospector.

177 MEN ON COMMISSION
 PAYROLL AT SEWARD

Accurate information secured at the offices of the Alaskan engineering commission shows that a force of 112 men are employed on actual construc- tion work out of Seward. This force will be increased by gang of bridge carpenters, who will be stationed at Mile 52 to repair trestles in the section between Mile 45 and Placer river. This will bring the construction and repair force to 122 men.
 In addition the commission has in Seward an office force, a miscellaneous crew, men repairing the office build ing, a force erecting residences in the terminal tract, a crew on the wharf and transportation men looking after the gas car service, numbering in all 5 men, making a total of TIT men on the payroll.

NOT ENOUGH VESSELS TO
 HANDLE ORE SHIPMENTS

The bunkers at the Three-Men min ing Company's property, Landlock Bay are filled to capacity and that ore is piled up in every available space around the works, owing to no steam CTS being available for transporting the ore to the shelter.
 The loss of the Alaska Steamship company's big freighter Edith. and the Admiral Watson of the Admiral Line, has proved a serious handicap to the shippers of copper ores from the Southwestern Alaska coast mines, and the announcement that the Alaska Steamship company has purchased two big freighters to operate in these waters is good news to the mine own CTS, who will suffer loss if their mines are closed down for a time.

CUTTING LUMBER FUR RAILROAD
 AT PORTAGE

John Enlund, who has the contract for cutting 100000 feet of lumber for the Alaska Engineering Commits sion, reports that he has completed a sawmill and other buildings at Port age Bay and that approximately 300,000 feet of lumber has been cut. The mill building is 36 feet wide and 12S feet long, covered with sheet iron and SUD- piled with a water power of force suf- fcient to throw a stream of water seventy feet high. The mill has capacity of 3O,00O feet daily.
 The building which is being used as living rooms for the men. and in which MT. and Mrs. Enlund have pri- vate quarters is IS feet wide and 10S feet long.
 The mill Is located on a bay on the south side of Portage bay about six miles from the tract reserved by the government at the head of Port age Bay. The small bay is about one and one-half miles long and affords shelter from all wind storms. The shores of the bay are heavily covered with splendid sawmill timber and MT. Enlund reports that all the logs used in cutting the 300.000 feet of lumber were lowed to the mill by row boats, the services of the launch not being required. He believes that the mill, located on deep water where any steamer can land. and in the midst of heavy timber sufficient to keep the mill busy for several years, can cut and deliver lumber at any of the Alaskan coast towns at a price which will compete with lumber brought from the outside.
 Col. Stevenson of Seattle, and K. Johnson, formerly of Fairbanks, are associated with MT. Enlund in the en- terprise.

spirit OF devotion into the foreign at

Museums during the past decade
have been making long strides in edu-
cational work. Not the least impor-
tant evidence Of the need for such
work has been the demand for direct
instruction. Many museums in all sec
tions of the country have promptly
met this demand by the appointment
OF trained instructors. whose duties
embrace the exposition OF the museum
collections.

these instructors WAS held for the pur-
pose OF acquiinting them with one
another and, more particularly. OF CIV

they are more apt than not To con-
