 The drill has about finished work on Mike Hess creek and it is to move to the head of Livengood creek to do representing work
 Several workers that had to repre- sent, have put the holes to bedrock, but have not heard of any new pay being found. Below town on the flats quite a lot of work has been begun. Lambin and Johnson have lease on the California Fraction and are pros- pecting. Sig Goodwich and George Wig starting work on four below, fin ishing hole that was started more than two years ago. John Wigger and partner intend to do a lot of pros pecting near the same locality but nearer Livengood creek Johnson and Headstrom are prospecting further down the flat. The Hudson Bros, are working around Olive creek.
 It is rumored that pay has been found on the upper benches of Els ther creek, and there is more real prospecting than at any time since the early days of the camp.
 The trails are good, travel light and not much freight being moved. People are wondering if they can hold on till relief comes from lowering of prices of necessities. The weather has been fine with the exception of too much wind. Very little excitement over election. Some of the Republi- cans are busy about jobs and lot of gossip is going the rounds. { No marriages, births or deaths. The people are generally optimistic 1 as to the outlook of the camp.

L. s. Robe, mining engineer from Funter bay, reports that preliminary work is being done this winter with a limited crew of eight men for oper- ations at the mine next spring.
 Development work is going ahead on the lower group of claims, with the sinking of a shaft near the mill to tap the Uncle Sam and King Bee veins at a 125feet level. { Also there is being carried forward some open cut work on an extension of the Tellurium vetng some 300 feet along the beach. The work is neces- sarily slow, owing to lack of power the water pipes having frozen.
 The company contemplates putting in mile and a half of ditch line and and necessary pipe to connect with the compressor plant early in the year.

ALASKA MINING
 NOTES

The silver era which has just dawned in Yukon is epoch making, says the Dawson News. The Mayo camp has passed from the mere pros pecting stage to that of a producing camp. Three thousand tons of ore are contracted for delivery this winter at the steamer landing at Mayo, and in dependent shippers will increase that total before spring.
 In addition, there is an exception ally broad galena field defined in the Mayo area. The developments on Keno Hill alone warrant heavy gov ernment road expenditures in that district this season. But Keno Hill is not the only property there which Is of merit. Many others are opened sufficiently to indicate great future productivity.
 The federal government recently sent geologists into the Mayo area and will have a large party there next season. The object is to open the country to mineral development.
 George Anderson, Willow creek operator, reports that progress on the winter work at the old Mabel mine, operated by the Little Gem Mining Company, is exceeding all eXpecta- tions. The company is the first in the district to attempt winter mill work, and MT. Anderson states that the gas oline engine has proven so satisfac. tory that the company will operate all winter
 At present outside of the work by his company, MT. Anderson says there is very little work under way, eX- cept freighting. He anticipates an other successful season in 1921. as we'll as additional development gen erally in the quartz district. About 22 days out from Mccarthy after stopping about ten days in the Kantishna to look at his develop ment work being done there, Tom Aitken, the mining man. and George Welsch, his bookkeeper, arrived in Fairbanks, says the NewsMiner.
 They travelled with dog teams and saw lot of country but few people | From Mckinley Forks to Roosevelt they didn't see a living soul, and the 1 lone raven they saw was packing his ! own grub with him.
 The Aitken dredge ran all summer on Candle creek There was plenty 1 of water to float it, but they were short of labor-aside from that the returns and work were satisfactory
 In the Kantishna Toms silver lea( l proposition has been working ever! day. They have taken out ore al summer and will continue to pile it III at Roosevelt, hoping next spring tt have a steamboat take it away ant get it to the smelter with the help O other boats

quires. But the arrangements
are not infrequently OF a pater-
nalistic character. For example
a coal company builds and pays
for a school house and either
rents or gives it rent free to the
board of trustees. III the funds
available are not adequate for
current maintenance. the com
pany makes up the deficit. The
company thus keeps itself before
the community As n patron and
appears 10 be doing more than its
bare duty 70 the community. In
many cases. however, if the usual
tax was levied. the community
could do all of these things and
more-for itself. Besides. il
would own and control its own
school plant; the school patrons
would be accustomed to paving
school taxes and the community
would have a self respect impos-
Slble SO long as it is the benefI-
ciary of corporation. In some
places the law is plainly ignored.
To illustrate In certain districts
no school tax * levied: the coal
companies. without authority OF
law. hold out a certain amount
monthly from the wages oi -.
miners, which. along with what
the company donates. goes To sup
port the school. The companies
lead the communities TO believe
that they are eXpending on the
schools far more than their or
binary school taxes. whereas in
some instances they are saving
hundreds. perhaps thousands OF
dollars annually. Needless to say
this sort of thing should be stop
ped"
Dealing with graded districts
the commission points out that in
order to get the taxes from rail-
ways these districts are stretch
ed out along railroad lines and
thus deprive other parts of the
county from the benefit of these
taxes. This is one reason for
abolishing the present system.
the commission says.
Speaking of rural schools. the
commission said: 'The conditions
under which rural schools work
preclude satisfactory results.
Even when other conditions have
been improved-when the teach
ers are better trained and better
supervised and better facilities
have been provided-children can
not be satisfactorily taught until
the school term IS extended TO
nine months, until rfral school a.
tendance is greatly improved.

adapted to rural conditions is
prescribed. Nor will results ever

the educational machinery of IT,,
state is antiquated and made
quate. The State Board OF Ed
ucation. by reason of its makeup
is incapable of performing the
functions that naturally fall Il

the present ex-officio board of ed
ucation must be replaced by {
properly constituted board; the
State Superintendent must be ia
ken out of partisan politics; the

sional basis, and its support must
be made commensurate with its
responsibilities and duties"
The. commission expressed the
opinion that the county unit
school law of 1920 whereby the
county superintendent was made
appointive instead of elective,
was ''one of the few pieces of con
structive educational legislation

OF the state" and said that there
naturally exists some discomfort

boards chosen at the election i'll

fice January |, 1921, and with
their first important act, the Sc

dent. No such change could
possibly be carried through with
ont a certain amount of dissatis-
faction. The remedy lies. how
ever. not in change of the law
the law is based on sound and
well accepted principles-but in a
wiser selection of county school
board members by the people.
The very exercise of the privilege
will of itself tend to bring about
the desired results.
The commission found that in
many sections of the state moth
ing was thought of dismissing
school an hour or two before the
usual time and recommended that
schools begin and close at defin-
lite time.

in the report to the graded school
