Teachers association by this prom inent educator. IL is worthy of much thought and speculation. and should act against the foolish idea that of life at 50 or 70 years of age.
 Physically this assertion that a man is best in his later years. is not true. but the mind seems 10 de velop as long as the circulation of blood thru the body is normal While the physical structure begins to show signs of decay the mind Is still de, seloping 1t seems
 How the president of Colgate college arrived at the conclusion that mans best years are between 50 and 70 years, is told by himself as follows:
 Six hundred of the most import ant scientists. statesmen and the ed, and it was found that only 5 per cent of them accomplished their worlds work before the age of 40: 10 per cent between 40 and 50: 20 per cent between 50 and 50; 35 per cent between 50 and 70; 21 per cent between 70 and SO and g per cent after they had reached the age o' SO"
 It was explained, however, by the speaker. that the early years of a persons life are tLe most important for in that period he Is laying the foundation for future years of sue cess.
 But after all, there is no rule that will fit everybody and while some men are better mentally in their old age others are in their prime in their youth and early become infir1n.
 Many a man would accomplish more in this world if he did not have the idea that he should not begin late In life to carry out some good plan. The hope for future ac- compllshments always stimulates vl- tality and has wonderful tendency to prolong human life.

ing ill Alaska and which promises to bring more permanent mining in dHstfy to the Territory than ii is possible for placer mines ever 10 create
 Under the head of General Min ing News" on another page of this paper. is an article concerning the conditions at Broad Pass. written by former Alaska miner. What he says about that district is partially true concerning the necessity Of capital to develop the mines there which carry base metal But when he says that Broad Pass Is no place for poor man. he Is mistaken, for it Is not essential that the discover CT of rich ledge must provide capi, .al for its development II is not understood that the Wells boys who sold the claim to the Guggen- helms had any capital, but just the same they received. if reports be correct. small fortune for their Broad Pass claims.
 Any promising mining community is good place for a poor man. provided he has the energy and the knowledge of mining to go ahead with systematic prospecting work.  It must be remembered that few mines are discovered by millionaires. though it must be admitted that when
 | comes to the development of quartz lodges capital Is essential.
 There were more quartz experts in Alaska last year than in any previous year. and it is to be eX- Dected tEat there will be more this year than last. The promise of railroad building is largely respon- sible for this. and though the rail. roads will promot. mining, the mines in return will do a wonderful amount in making the railroad financial success.

800 PEOPLE PATRONS IF
 RELIEF BALL CHARITY AFFAIR DECLARED ONE OF MOST SUCCESSFUL
 OF SEASON.

More than 800 people attended night which was given for the pur- pose of swelling the fund for the re- lief of the starving Begians The ball was one of the most enjoyable events ever given in Fairbanks. and, with the exception of some of the efforts made to throw discredit upon the newly organized Civic club, the affair was without a dis agreeable feature.
 It will not be known for a few days how much money was netted from the ball. but from the fact that it was largely attended, and also that the refreshment counters were well patronized. 1t is certain that the financial returns will be all that could be expected.
 Owing, probably. to the great num- Der of prizes offered by local mer- chants. the variety of the costumes was unusually large. The judges began awarding the prizes for the various characters about midnight and by l o'clock the work was com pleted The list of winners is so long that 1t is not reproduced here
 The committees having charge of the affair were complimented gener- ally for their efforts for it's success Everyone entered into the spirit of the occasion with an earnestness that suggested the determination to show their loyalty to the cause of Charity, and at the same time make social success of the event
 The creeks were well represented at the dance. and several of the prizes went to Chatanika people.
 The decorations received much praise. Many of the paintings had been specially prepared for the oc- casion. and represented Belgian af- fairs.
 Ill addition to the prizes given for the various costumes, there were several prizes for dancing, including waltzing. foX-trotting. two-stepping and cake-walking. The dance con. tinued until about o'clock yester- day morning.
 Ladies heading the committees that had charge of the dance are as follows:

Mining Ground Sold
 On Old Judgment

To cover judgment issued out of district court in 1909. Deputy Marshal M. o. Carlson sold several pieces of promising placer mining property Saturday afternoon. The judgment was originally for the supt of $65l and costs, which now total something over $900.
 The case in which judgment was rendered was that of E. G. Murray vs Flygar X Bloom. The ground sold by the marshal was one-fourth interest in Number 16 below Cleary creek known as the Venture claim: a one-fourth interest in number II below Cleary, known as the Polly claim, and one half interest In mum Der l above discovery on the Cha tanika river The plaintiff In the original proceedings was the pur- chaser of the ground. paying Sl ,00b for it.

QUARTZ PROSPECTING.

Increased interest in the quartz development of Alaska is becoming more and more evident, and it is quite certain that within the next more prospecting for lodges than there has been in all previous time in this Territory
 This is always the case with gold discoveries. The first rush to gold fields Is to get the placer gold, that may be secured without scientific knowledge of lodes and all the things that are involved in permanent gold deposits. When the rich spots Of placer ground have been worked out the practical miners, with knowledge of quartz, come to the front. and. taking up the clews presented by the geological strata, locate the veins from which the placer gold originally came The same thing is transpiring in Alaska today. for the interest in placer mining, which, however. is still active. is no longer overshadow, ing the popular desire to find gold bearing lodges.
 IL Is safe to assert that there is at least three or four times as much news in the Alaska newspapers to- day concerning quartz prospecting and mining as there was year ago. This is one of the best evidences Cf fhe new mining era that Ia ODen-

IMPROVING SCHOOLS.

In Ketchikan the people have or sanized what is probably the first parentteacher association In Alaska and thereby they have taken an im- portant step forward in modern ideas.
 The matter of organizing a simi- lar association here has been agi- tated without result. and it Is to be regretted that the mothers and teach CTS of Fairbanks seem to be less enterprising than those of the coast towns
 From what can be learned of the parent-teacher association in Ketchi. kan, the first meeting was a sue cess. and it's ultimate advantages are already being appreciated there. If good results come from having the parents and teachers affiliate in other places, why should not the same good effect be experienced here? It would seem that the par ents of Fairbanks are just as much interested In the welfare of their children as the parents of other places can be, and thus it Is pug zling to try to understand why some one does not start campaign for a parent-teacher association in Fair banks.
 Perhaps the newly organized Civic club will take the matter up and endeavor to get the parents and teachers to affiliate in way that will be to the advantage of the children of this city. If the Civic club does this, it will have accom- plished at least one thing for the real betterment of the community.

THE CIVIC CLUE B.

Women have always proved 10 De ciyilizing influences of every nation When public conscience gets dulled or calloused by degenerating condI lions. the first awakening from sucp a condition is certain to be due to the women. In the early days ol California. when men were separated from the association of respectable women, civilization was forgotten. and the mining communities were lawless and degenerate. The sam" thing has happened almost every where that men have been removed from the eieVatins influence ot good womanhood,
 Alaska mining camps never drop. ped to the extent that the early min ing camps Of California were low cred in a social scale. for early ill the gold rush women came here anu their influence has kept the major ity of men in the ways of decency Whenever the public forgot itself the women in Alaska have been on hand io bring the public back 10 it's senses Thai is what is happening here in Fairbanks al the present time where the representative women of the city have organized the Fairbanks Civic club. which has for it's purpose the betterment of social conditions here
 Since the railroad carnival of a year ago when the Hid was taken off the town,' there has been q tendency to lave public dances and intoxicating liquors too closely asso- ciated for the welfare of the young CT people, and this is why the lead ing women of Fairbanks have or ganized the Civic club. Their first act was to agree to protest against the using of intoxicating liquors in the refreshments at the Belgian re- lief dance Saturday night.
 The Civic club of Fairbanks has started out right. It is promising 10 be guided ty conservative judgment, and is not a fanatical organization that wants to enter into things with which il has no right. It is starting out with the evident inteu. tlon of using it's influence to bet ter social conditions without unneces- sarily interfering with individual liberties, or making itself a trouble. some thing to be dreaded by even the best class of people.
 If the club continues to be man aged by conservative women. it vii. have the opportunity of becoming and remaining one of the most pow erful factors in the moral upbuildin9 of the community, but tke members must not lose their heads and their better judgment by meddling with affairs other than those which direct ly concerns them
 As the Civic club makes it's in, tlal bow 10 the public il is not creature of hysterical reformers or is it an organization of women who are willing to close their eyes t0 the social things that are offensive 10 decency. May they remain that way.
 While the Civic club is not a political organization. 1t will have political offices regardless of party utilization. take definite stands on moral issues and this will be the greatest field of activity for the club
