De recalled, was organized not many

evidence that the society fills some

none are eligible to membership ex-

This excludes that rather large clas,

McCallum, who returned within the last few days from Ruby, reports that Jorgenson has lay on d piece of the Book pro perty in the Hot Springs country and that he has struck it rich
 Jorgenson has prospected the ground thoroughly since the close of naviga- tion and at the present time has enough blocked out to assure him fortune.
 His many friends in Fairbanks will be delighted to hear the good news. for all oldtimers have a soft spot in their hearts for a man who blazed trail, prospected in many parts of the ter ritory and labored in the drift, although suffering from the effects of a broken neck and many other injuries.
 The physician states that Jorgenson is without doubt the happiest man in Alaska today, delighted to be able to de- velop the country and to assist in swelling the output of the territory.
 The other laymen who are working on Bock's ground are reported to be do- ing well also, and all expect to take out considerable money next summer.

IGLOO REINDEER FAIR.

The work which is being done by the Bureau of Education for the na- tives of Northwestern Alaska, through Walter Shields, the superintendent for this section of the work, is not fully appreciated by those who have not given the matter any close attention.
 The district oyer which Alr Shields has jurisdiction is large one involy ing much arduous labor and calling for much of ardoous labor and calling for a kind of labor which cannot be paid for in dollars and cents alone. Mr. Shields and those associated with him in the work of educating the natives are carrying out the policy of the gov ernment. which is to make the natives self-supporting and at the same time raise their standard of living and encourage them To develop more highly civilized tastes and habits of life TO do this, tbe means of accom- plishing this must be placed within their reach.

SEWARD-A local man who has made a study of coal and the cost of producing it in Pennsylvania says that it is mined there for 30 or 35 cents a ton. It costs about ten or fifteen cents to load on the cars. Iron ore is hauled on the great lakes for thirty cents ton for thousand miles, and it is esti- mated that coal is hauled on railroads outside for not more than fifty cents ton. so by these figures We make a fairly good guess at what coal will cost here and along the coast when the Matanuska fields are opened

"T do not know whether or not the

any nroiect Of transfer of Newark or
