C. w. Fries has returned from an inspection of the old Helyitia Min ing Company property at Windham May, which he ownes, and on which he will place a number of men at work to run crosscuts and drifts for further prospecting.
 By tracing one of his leads across the hill from where it crops on Skookum creek in the Hyder dis trict, John Hovland has uncovered what promises to be the most i'm poftant find of high grade ore he has yet discovered on his Fish creek group Where exposed by the creek and a tunnel driven in about fifty feet shows that it continues strong into the hill. the ore all being of good milling grade. Where un- covered above during the past week the whole lead appears to be solid ore of shipping grade, carrying gal ena and ChalCopyrite. Not enough surface work has been done as yet to determine the length of this ore shoot. but MT. Hovland will resume work upon it after he has finished his assessment work on the Unicorn group and Morning claim on the Can adian side.

Widespread interest in being man ilested in the old development pos abilities of the Seward Peninsula region, the present open season will undoubtedly witness much stalking of purported oil lands, both within the peninsula proper and in the re- zion farther north. From reliable sources il is learned that q concid- erable nmber of Nome people are contemplating stalking claims in the Serpentine river region. where it is claimed there are widespread indi. cations of oil possibilities. Another prospective oil region is supposed to be located in the region northeast of Port Clarence within a short dis. distance of the coast.
 Another likely locality is said to lie in the vicinity of Shismareff.

A new discovery of pay has been made in the Koyukuk on the lower part of Emma creek, the pay being in the old channel lost some few years ago. It is on a bench and goes across toward Kelley's Mistake. The work done thus far indicates that there may be several good claims The ground is from 80 to 90 feet deep where pay was found.

and the efforts will no doubt receive
cooperation from the public in gen.
eral. Within recent years the god Of
chance has found its way more and
more into the features of agricultural
fairs in Vermont and elsewhere until
at the present time the gambling de-
vices have become menace to the
good name and the good will of the
fairs themselves. A good many people
patronize these games thoughtlessly,
little realizing at the time that the
presence of these devices and their
open operation lower the tone and
benefits of the fair itself In fact, the
inroads Of the gambling element have
already been greatly detrimental to
the best interests of the fairs, causing
a large number of people to stay away
and contributing other unsatisfactory
conditions. No doubt the state fair
commission appreciated the increasing
influence for evil by the gambling in
roads, as well as recognizing the bad
features of games of chance in and of
themselves. Hence the determination
TO eliminate gambling. Let's back up

School Teachers Pay.

Rural school teachers in Vermont
are not so poorly paid as many imsg
inc. Figures show a very notable ad
vance in their salaries within the past
year or two. A few unframed teach
ers under permit and not receiving
state aid realize only 81 a week, which
is the minimum. The minimum wage

maximum ranges between S25 and $50.
The average pay of rural teachers is
between s22 and S23 week This
compares very favorably with the pay

WOMEN AS DEPUTY sHERIFFS.

With the coming of women into
the right of voting there devolyes upon
them the duty of rendering service tc
the public in capacities for which they
are fitted and it goes without saying
that there are many public offices in
which women could be fully as effec-
tive as men. We do not expect to have
police force of women, nor fire de-
partment made up of members of the
feminine sex; but there is auxiliary
work in connection with law and or
der at least in which women can find
u place The avenue to usefulness in
this line of work is being opened up
for women; and one of the first intro
ductions to actual official service is af-
forded in ST. Johnsbury where two
women have been appointed by Sheriff
Worthen as deputy sheriffs. Believ-
ing that women can perform valuable
services in that position the sheriff of
Caledonia county has appointed Miss
Lora Varney, an executive worker of
the county Red Cross service, and Mrs.
Mary Landry, wife of ST. Johnsbury
druggist. 1t is understood that the
two women are to qualify and take the
oath, Here in Washington county the
idea of having woman deputy sher.
if has been in operation for some time,
the wife OF Sheriff Tracy having been
appointed. This woman deputy has al.
ready acted in official position many
times, even to the guardianship Of
prisoners being transported to Wind
sor, although womans work in police
service undoubtedly lies more in the
province of the domestic side of life,
Or in the handling Of cases involving
women. A woman deputy sheriff APP
has a place in the new order

to the next. Their only exit is one
narrow stairway with iron doors locked
at both the top and bottom of the
stairs. In case of n serious fire ~ the
/ building the removal of the women
prisoners would be nearly impossible
| Only one toilet and one bath tub Is
| provided for the women and these are
| in the basement of the building where
privacy for either one is impossible.
Their dining room and recreation room
are both in the basement, where no
natural light or sunshine is possible.
The walls of new ward have been
constructed with the appropriation
made by the legislature two years ago,
but an additional appropriation of S20,-
900 is asked to complete the structure.
One half of this new structure was
planned as a block of cells for women
prisoners but prison experts say male
and female prisoners should be con.
fined in entirely separate institutions,
some saying they should not be less
than 25 miles apart. Members OF the
committee believe that $4,000 would
prepare the old house of correction at
Rutland for occupancy by women pris-
oners and that the state should remove
them to that place for the present.
Some also believe cell system improp-
err for the confinement of women pris
oners and do not favor the completion
of the new structure at Windsor.
II would be presumptuous for one
unacquainted with the conditions at
Windsor to offer advice to the men
who have inspected the buildings and
seen actual conditions there. II would
appear, however, that the appropri.
alton of $4,000 two years ago has
been expended on o mistaken plan;
and the question before the present
legislature is. "Shall the state put
$50 900 more into a mistake, or aban
don the mistake and apply future APP
on a correct plan" It
would seem cheaper to start on correct
lines now than after the mistake is |
completed The Reformer believes the
taxpayers of the state would prefer to |

ROCKVILLE. Nd, June 3-county
commissioners have been presented
the annual budget for MONTGOMERY
county, In which is asked a total of
s23s, 22s.16. an increase of $ls,s00
over the budget of last year.
The budget was prepared by Prof.
Edwin w. Broome, county superin-
tendent of schools. assisted by board
OF education members. Mrs. A. Daw-
son Trundle, Janney. Riggs, and
Cooke.
Included In the amount is $40, 900
for buildings, repairs, and furniture.
In addition to the money to be sup
piled by the county, the school board
will receive approximately $1,000
from the State.
The county commissioners are un-
derstood to be literally inclined to-
ward the public schools, and the gen.
eral belief is that the budget will not
be greatly altered by these officers.

will be heard on school appropriations,

Should the depression in the steel
