Alaska Mining ToBeAidedb by
 Bureau Mines
Territory Being Reorgan- ized-Will Be Cut Up Into
 Four Mining Districts Governor Will Co-Ooerate.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-With a view to fostering a more rapid development of the mining in- dustry in Alaska, the United States Bureau of Mines is reor- ganizing the territory.
 It is proposed to divide Alaska into four districts, each being in charge of an engineer, with a supervising engineer in general charge of the four districts. The experiment station at Fairbanks will be continued as headquarters
 Bert ". Dyer, federal mine in- spector for Alaska, has been as- signed to Southeastern Alaska and the Katalla Oil Fields.
 J. A. Davis will continue to serve as superintendent of the Fairbanks station and, in addi- tion, will be in charge of District No. 2, which consists of the ter ritory tributary to the govern ment railroad.
 District No. 3 consists of h. terior Alaska, comprising the Yukon and Tanana basins. It has been assigned to K. T. Sparks, assistant engineer.
 District No. 4 is the Seward Peninsula, to which no assign ment has yet been made. It is lSelieved~the best way to assist this district is by development of cold water thawing methods.
 The Bureau officials will coop crate with the U. s. Geological Survey, the governor of Alaska, and the territorial mine inspector
 The geological survey lays stress upon the study and cor relation of Alaskan geology, whereas the work of the Bureau of Mines will empasize service to miners.
 The bureaus forces will largely supplement the work of the Ter ritorial mine inspector and will endeavor to make annually a a complete inspection and report of all mines and prospects.

 You are authorised to charge ad- vanced rates, as per your letter, for the present month, May, 1920, but these advanced rates should be entered in a item and added to the regular rates. Your future bills should be made out in the usual manner charg- ing old or regular rates with bonus or temporary increase added at the bot tom of each monthly statement your account.

Burns stated that the hunting re- ports of w. H. Dodd of Tele- graph had awakened his interest in this region. It was a notice able fact, he said, that the bags brought out by Cassiar hunters were larger than those from other sections. He considered it well worth his while to cross the continent for a hunting trip here and was anticipating a very enjoyable time. Mir. Hoover returned south on the Spokane today instead of going on with the rest of the party,

Graves of Soldier Dead
 Receive Attention
Markers Obtained from the Govern ment for Graves of Civil
 War Veterans

Some time ago a committee of Wrangellmen, interested in mark ing the graves of unknown sailors and soldiers buried here, applied to the Government for the neces- sary markers. The appeal was first made through Mir. Wicker sham and later Delegate Suther- land was asked to take the mat ter up with the War Department. Mir. Sutherland, whose efforts won the favorable consideration of the Government for the request of the local people, deserves much credit from the community for he was successful in cutting the red tape of the War Department and a letter received here this spring stated that the markers were be- ing sent and might reach Wran- gell for Memorial Day. They were not received at that time, however, but arrived late in July and have been placed on the graves which were moved into the Redmen cemetery some time ago. The expense of moving the bodies from outside the cemetery boundaries to the plot donated by the Redmen was borne by the community. a popular subscrip- tion having been taken up this spring for that purpose. The nine graves. properly marked, show that the community is not lacking in respect for the dead ex-soldiers and soldiers, even though they are unknown.

 The Alaska was formerly the Kansas City and was for years on the run between New York and the West Indies. In 1915 she was purchased by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and put on the Alaska run. Captain Nord who had been on the Jeffer. son for years was placed in con- mand of the Kansas City. In 1916 the Pacific Coast Steamship Company had the Kansas City overhauled and many alterations made. When she was again placed on the run her name was changed to the Alaska. About two weeks ago Captain Nord gave up the Alaska, exchanging positions with the master of the North western.

When the matter of electric light rates was taken up at the meeting of the Council last Thurs day night the Councimen were all of the opinion that owing to the reductions in the price of fuel oil that have taken place during the past twelve months the Council is no longer justified in authorizing the collection of a bonus on the rates specified in the franchise.
 The following letter was sent to Mir. Palmer, officially notifying him of the removal of the bonus:
