ton.
The salt Is mixed with starchy
substance which holds its action until
II Is placed on the skin over the dis
eased bone. from which 1t extracts the
impurities, the germs and their poi
sons.
The material is sprinkled on lint
or gaAze and placed on the skin over
the diseased bone. When the doctor
removes the dressings. from six to
twelve hours later, there will be seen
blisters on the skin. If there Is no
infection the salt will not affect the
skin.

To secure the native from the intru-

bureau of education has adopted the
policy of establishing reservations 10
which large numbers Of natives can be
attracted >and where they can obtain
fish and game and conduct their own
industrial and commercial enterprises.
The settlement ut Noorvik. on the KO-
buk river, in arctic Alaska, Is one OF
the most conspicuous successes Of this
policy.

Washlngton-While educators have
spoken of what education ought to DO.
and have propounded theories the bur-
den of which has been that education
and life should be synonymous, one
part Of the United States has been ex-
periencing such an ideal in actual
practice. In Alaska each schoolhouse

ment Of practical ends. Many OF the
buildings, In addition to the recitation
room. contain also kitchen. quarters
Of the teacher. and a laundry and
baths for the use of the native com
munity.
Every teacher Is a social worker.
Every district superintendent, In visit
ing his widely separated schools. must
travel vast distances by sled over the
frozen, trackless wilderness. Fre-
quently he must risk his life on treach-
erous, tempestuous waters In u native
canoe or small power boat. He must
endure the violence Of the northern
storms. the rigors Of the arctic winter.
and the f0ulness of the native huts In
which he must often find shelter.
Directed BY Bureau Of Education.
This work Is carried on under the
supervision OF the bureau Of education,
and the details OF current operation
are reported upon by William Hamil-
ton. He tells that there are In Alaska
approximately 25.OOO natives in vii
lages ranging from 80 or 40. up to 300
or 400 persons. scattered along thou
sands of miles Of coast line and on the
great rivers. Some Of the villages on
remote islands or beside the frozen
ocean are brought into touch with the
outside world only once or twice IA
year, when visited by u United States
coast guard steamer on Its annual
cruise. or by the supply vessel sent
by the bureau of education.
Many OF the settlements have no reg
,ulur mail service and can cOmmuni-
cate with one another and with the
outside world only by occasionally
passing boats In summer and sleds in
winter. During eight months Of the
year NIL the villages In Alaska. with
the exception Of those on the southern
coast, are reached only by trails over
the S0OW-COSeEeO iuhu VI AiOLSh iiNCi ..
In spite Of the difficulties OF the
problem a United States public school
has been established in each of sew
enty villages. In many instances the
school is the only elevating power In
the community.
Tuberculosis. pneumonia, rhcuma-
tism. and venerenl diseases prevail to
an alarming extent in many of the
native villages. and In Its endeavor to
safeguard the health Of the natives Of
Alaska the bureau OF education main
tnins hospitals in Ave important GEN.

and sanitary work, and provides medi-

New Mexico.

Lead and zinc production comes
from the Magdanela District in Socor-
ro county, the Steeplerock District in
Grant county and the Cooks Peak
District, Luna county. While lead
alone is mined in the Central District,
Grant county, the Victorio District,
Luna county and the Organ Mountain
District, Dona Ana county, and zinc
in the Hanover and Pinos Altos Dis
tricts.
The REPORT Of the United States
Geological Survey on the output Of
the mines Of New Mexico for the first
eleven months Of 1918 and the esti-
mated output for December shows q
decrease in all metals. The total pro-
dnction was 1851 900 in gold, 868, 900
ounces Of silver, 9,250,OC0 pounds Of
lead, 9s,620 900 pounds of copper and
25,000, 900 pounds of recoverable zinc.
The total value was $2S ,625, 900, as
compared with the 1917 output, valued
at $S4 $50, ,765.
Copper, Of course, is the principal
metal produced in New Mexico. The
larger part Of this production comes
from the Chino Copper Company's de-
posits at Santa Rita. This is low
grade ore which il milled at the COM
pAnyS immense plant NJ nuriey. Inc
Phelps Dodge mines At Tyrone and
the Eighty-five mine at Lordsburg
also enter into the production figures
Other copper mining districts in the
state are the Magdalena District in
Socorro county, the Orogrande Dis
trict in Otero county and the Cara
cito District in Torrance county.
In gold and silver production the
Mogollon District in Socorro county
leaos with an output Of $115,948 in
gold and $4,000 ounces of silver,
which is less than half Of the output
of this district in 1917. Other dis
tricts producing gold and silver are:
The Aztec mines in Colfax county,
White Oaks, Parsons and Nogal in
Lincoln county, San Pedro in Santa
Fe county, and the Orogrande District
in Otero county.
