Murchison. the manager announced a return game in the Rink the night of the game here he made the pro- viso If we have any bones left after playing Juneau. At Thane the game was very rough and four of the Metlakatla boys were knocked out although they defeated Thane A to F. The next night the Metlakatla boys played the Hoover boys of Jn- neau using substitutes for the four boys who were knocked out This game resulted in a score of 20 to Is in favor of Metlakatla. On Thursday night of last week Metlakatla played a return game with Juneau High school in which the Metlakatla boys who had been hurt at Thane under took to do their part, but they were soon fatigued and the game went to the High school. It was very unfortunate for the Metlakatla team that four of their team were crippled in the Thane game, but they took their defeat in a real sportsmanlike manner and made hosts of friends at Juneau. They were in de- mand for music and speeches on public occasions and had a most eventful trip. Manager Murchi- son was greatly disappointed at not being able to have a return game with Wrangell. And in or der to show the Wrangell boys that he was anxious to do the square thing he invited them to come to Metlakatla for a game there this week, and take the entire gate receipts win or lose. The Wrangell team regretted that they could not accept MT. Murchison's very generous in- vitation, but they were unable to get away for the trip.

War Savings Contest

The Territorial Education De partment will award a ;ennant to the Alaska school which re- ports the largest amount per pu- pill in War Saving Certificates. War Saving Stamps or Thrift Stamps purchased by the pupils of the school during the period beginning Feb. 18th and ending May 18th. In computing the amount per pupil, the total amount of War Saving Certifi- cates of the type mentioned above will be divided by the aver, age daily attendance of the school during the period of the contest.
 War Savings Certificates and Stamps will be considered at their cost price and not at their maturity value so the contest re- solves itself into the actual savings per pupil during the three months period indicated
 Money accumulated by the pll- pil prior to Feb. 18th and later invested in War Savings securi. ties is not to be included. The money spent in securing the Thrift Stamps. etc.. must have been actually earned by the pu- pill during the contest or saved from an accustomed weekly or monthly allowance.

Leaves for McDames Creek

Amos Godfrey and E. B. Hib. bey arrived from Vancouver on the Princess Sophia Tuesday af- ternoon. The gentlemen left Wednesday by dog team for Centerville which is on McDames creek 172 miles beyond Telegraph Creek. In this region the Prin- cess May Hydraulic Mining Co. of which MT. Godfrey is the man ager owns two hydraulic bench leases. A bench lease contains eighty acres; fifteen hundred feet up and down the creek, and twenty three hundred feet back on the bench. A lease s granted by the Provincial government of British Columbia for twenty years.
 MT. Godfrey states that his Company has secured a plant ca pablo of handling 1,500 cubic yards of gravel per day. This plant is now seventeen miles from the property. Messrs. God frey and Hibbey are going in early for the purpose of getting the plant moved to their property before the ice thaws.
 MT. Godfrey states that ap- proximately seven thousand dol- lars has been expended on the property, and that like amount will probably be spent in install ing the plant and operating du- ring the coming summer.
 MT. Godfrey has the greatest faith in the proposition. He says the Company has holdings that it will take many years to work out. He further states that the Company is especially fortunate in having all the water it needs. A ditch over a mile long has been run from the First North Fork to carry the water from said sHeam onto the high bench at the b4ck of their claims where the penstock will be erected. This will give fall of over two hun- dred feet, giving a nice pressure of ninety pounds to the square inch.
 There is also considerable tlm- Der on the property fit for milling. There is fine belt of spruce about three miles down McDames creek, just below China Bar, from which lumber may be obtained for all purposes.
 Mir. Godfrey estimates that the annual output from the property will be over one hundred thous- and dollars.
