THE PROPOSED NEW ROAD INTO GR0UNDHOG AND GLACIER
 BASINS

Prospectors have long been aware that back of the ridge of mountains on the mainland border- ing on the Inside Passage and Blake channel valuable ore beds must exist.
 In the sand at the mouth of each stream emptying into the waters of these channels colors have teen found in the gold pan. Along Shaddssty's creek for four miles up colors, but not in paying quanti- ties, cln be found most anywhere.
 This has induced rospectors to go up these different creeks,
 Bey md Mill Creek lake Virginia lake)"r over twenty years claims have been, located, and more re- gently many others, but the great difficulty of getting r,has preclud- ed any extensive development ex- cept by the very wealthy. On Ahren 5 creek, the Bergs have To-. cated what appears to be a valu- able m'ne. :>, '.
 Up Shaddesty's creek there must be, though it has been often un- success fully sought, valuable ore beds to account for all the gold in the surface sands.
 All these finds have induced the govern nent to make a geological survey of not only the mountains along ..le coast, but of the moun- tains is the interior as we'll.
 Nearly all of Southeastern Alas. ka belongs to what they call the Paleoz ic age. This is the same age iu which for example New Englah ], New York, and part of Penns> .vania sprang out of the water.
 Minerals are usually found where nere is break in the rocks of this age and intrusive rocks from tl,, interior have been forced up to t, Ike the place of the break. This IS rue of the Cobolt country of Can' da, of the Zinc country of Missouri and of all the mineral countries of the. Rocky mountains.
 The point is this, when the geol- ogists went into the country that we have referred to, they found a ledge ot intrusive rock leading from the Stikine river down below Bradfiell canal. First IS ridge of schist, then of limestone and then comes the in- trusive 'ock consisting of porphy- ", dio:i=e and granite. Where granite butts against porphyry or schist, there look for mineral. Here is where the prospects have been found and the assays show wonderful richness of mineral. There are veins and cross veins which are called feeders. Prom Grounding and Glacier basins, these strata can be easily dis tinguishrd running for miles, show ing tha, they are net veins which today yoi may have them, but to- morrow you will not have them be- cause The strata has been all shot to pieces. The veins are permanent.
 This mas induced the Bon Alaska Mining company with MT. Calvin as manager to spend already con- siderable money in making a trail good enough to get light machinery into these basins for development work.
 Enough has been done to show that the government, if it builds the road from the channel into these basins, will not be building

NAMES MENTALLY
DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS

Though Maine is not the first State
to begin a scientific study of her
ne'er do wells and dependents to de-
termine how best to provide for
them, utilize their energy and pre-
vent their increase she has not
neglected them in either law or prac
tice. The last Legislature amended
the long standing statute prohibiting
marriage of insane persons to also in
clude the feeble minded, so that they
are now prohibited from marrying
The Maine State Board of Charities
and Corrections has indexed and tabu-
lated information of approximately
1000 dependents supported wholly or
in part at public expense exclusive of
the military dependents. About two
thirds of these 1900 are recipients of
municipal charity. 1t is evident that
the people of the State wish to care
adequately for their dependents In
many cases they arc doing 50 in their
own homes without recourse to the
public funds.
Since true charity consists in sup
plying what is needed in a form to con-
fer ultimately the maximum benefit to
far short of ideal Accomplishment. And
since the mentally defective are lack
ing in ideas and capacity for managing
their affairs with discretion, it is of
special Importance in administering for
the class in Maine or elsewhere that
wise procedure be selected There
fore, correct methods must first be de-
vised for the most advantageous eX-
penditure of the public funds later.
Doubtless some cases of dependency
due to mental defect could become
partially at least self-supporting under
especially adapted conditions, and
doubtless. certain mental detectives
could be trained to limited usefulness
If the formative period of life be utii-
lied for that purpose. Probably, a
modification of the school life OF GER
tain backward children would result
in benefit to the fully equipped schol-
ars as we'll as to the mentally handi-
capped.
The immediate problem of the Com
mission on Provision for the Feeble
Minded is, however, to reach an esti-
mate of the number. varieties and To-
cation of the mentally Inadequate
cases the State has and to prevent any
increase in their number Before any
measures for the improved economic
condition of this class can he intelli-
gently proposed, the class must be
studied, its numbers Sound and their
distribution noted.
