High School Notes

Members CT the Junior CLASS gave
a matinee dance for the school, We'd
nesday from four to five thirty. The
spirit of the season was carried out
in the Christmas decorations and the
general good time feeling. The pro-
ceeds are to go to the Near East Re-
lief.
The science department in the high
school has experienced considerable
growth and enlargement. This is
shown both by the increase in the en-
rollment in the science courses and
also by the number of courses offered.
Heretofore Physics and General Sci
ence were the only courses offered in
this department. This year a cou"Se
in biology is offered to the students.
The enrolment in the science courses
this year has increased forty per cent
as compared with last years enroll
ment. Since none of the science
courses are required, it shows that the
students interested in science are in
creasing in number.
The members of the Senior tipping
class have written in the December
test material, and the following have
won awords:
Miss Florence Vlieland the Sixty
net word card case from the Under
wood Company and also the forty
net word card case from the Reming-
ton Company.
Miss Leona Mason the forty-net
word certificate and the forty word
case.
Miss Esther Osen the forty-word
certificate.
Miss Florence Carlson the forty
word card case.
Mr.. Wilbur Osen the forty-word
certificate.
The report cards show that the fol-
lowing students are on the honor list:

employment to perhaps 300 or 600 men, The value of their output is esti- mated to be between ,000~ and S6OO,OO0.
 kuskokwim Region
 The only important operation in the Kuskokwim basin in 1919 was that of the dredge on Candle creek, which was installed in 1918. Placer mining was, however, continued in a very small way in the Kuskokwim and Goodnews Bay regions. In all about fifteen or twenty mines were oper- ated in these regions, employing be- tween sixty and one hundred men.
 On Seward Peninsula
 Seward peninsula was the most prosperous of the Alaska placer min- ing regions in 1919. It produced gold to the value of $1,3OO,000, compared with $1,1O8,OOO in 191S A total of twenty-one gold dredges were oper- ated on the Seward peninsula during 1919, distributed as follows: Eight in the Nome district, eight in the lCouncil district, four in the Solomon district, and one each in Kougarok, Fairhaven and Port Clarence dis tricts Three dredges used the so- called 'cold-water method" of thaw- ing the gravels. In addition to the dredges, about seventy-five open-cut mines and thirteen deep placer mines were operated on Seward peninsula in 1919.s About five hundred and fifty men were employed in placer mining, and about seventy-five of these were engaged in deep mining during the winter Some twenty ounces of plats mum were won from the gold placers of the Dime creek region, in the south eastern part of the Seward peninsula
 Coast Region
 There were no important develop ments in placer mining on the Pacific slope of Alaska during 1919. The value of the placer gold output from this region was about $3OO,000 in 1919, as compared with $4O0,OOO in 1918. Hydraulic mining was continued on a considerable scale in the Nizina dis trict of the Copper River basin. The gold output of the Yentna district was less in 1919 than in 1918 because the dredge was not in operation. A hy draulic plant is being installed to fur nish power for the dredge. So far as known, beach mining at Yakataga and other places continued on about the same scale as in previous years.
 Need of Transportation
 AS has been shown, the general eco homie conditions that affect Alaska gold mining, and especially placer min ing, are worldwide in their influence The Alaska placer miner has, how ever, in addition, his own special diff ficulties, and these relate principally to transportation. With decrease in placer mining has come a decrease in facilities and an in crease in freight rates. The best aid that can be given the miner and pros pector is good transportation service by water and land and reasonable freight rates. Of first importance is the completion of the Alaska railroad, but better and cheaper steamboat service, on both ocean and river, is also imperative. Moreover, if the raii- .oad is to be fully used for the develop ment of the resources of the territory, it must be supplemented by trails and wagon roads.
