MINES INSPECTOR DESCRIBES
 INTERIOR LODE STRIKES

In his annual report for the year
 1920, E. D Stewart. Territorial Min ling Inspector. devotes consideraDie
 snac ca to discussion of the lode mining
 activities of the Nixon Fork district of the upper Kuskokwim and the kam- tishna district in the Mt. Mckinley region and asserts that the develop ment taking place in both areas pre-
 sages beginning of lode mining on a | large scale in the interior of Alaska. "Hitherto this branch of mining has been carried on only to an almost negligible extent in the interior" tre report says. While these two dis tricts cannot be said to be proven as permanent lode mining camps. devel- opments thus f;tr prosecuted hold forth the promise that they will ultimately become such.
 -The deposit in the Nixon Fork re- zion consists of gold and copper bear ing ores occurring in an extensive con- tact zone lying between limestone and granite. This contact. while not thoroughly explored. seems to extend for long distance. following the d. vide between the main Kuslsoi<wim
 river and Nixon Fork. Aside from the systematic work done by the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Company In this district during 1920. it is esttmat- ed that between twenty five and fifty independent prospectors were at work"
 Regarding the promising kantishna district. the report says:
 "In the Kantishna district a great deal of lode prospecting was carried on over a wide area and with most en- couraging results. About seventy five prospectors and miners were engaged Most of the men were working in- dependentry and a number of excellent finds were made. The surface out crops in this district consist largely of nigh grade gaiena and gray copper ore bearing d. high precentage of silver. Approxima tely 700 tons of this surface ore was shipped to the Seloy smelter at San Francisco during 1920. and an equal amount. or more. will undoubt- edly be mined during the present win ter.
 "The Kantishna region. also con- tains extensive deposits of the ores of antimony. With the completion of the proposed auto road connecting this district with the government railroad. the kanlshna region promises to be- come Very active an1 in time. a real producer of silver, ,is9d, ahtimory ana copper ores'

BACHELORS OF ANCHORAGE IN REVOLT, PREPARE TO

The worm has turned.

-'N Woinh AstsS tuA hCN' The eligible bachelors. widowers grass widowers, sourdoughs. etc., etc. 1 have taken steps to lift the blockade and take unto themselves divers and sundry ribs missing since the day Ad;lm slept.
 The Associated Press has been ask ed to herald the news throughout the world that there are from fifty to one hundred Al husbands awaiting an equal number of bIushing brides in Anchorage
 The heroic charge of the wifeless brigade came after much indiging wherein said sundry and divers will ing to- be -grooms allcge they have been overlooked by the fair sex. who have shown Il woeful lack of apprecia- ton of the finer points in q good spec imcn of the male gender. and have ie: some of the best husbands out of cap- tvity slip through their hands. all to the chargin and against the dignity and peace of the community. The "Bridegrooms' Club has been organized. and its headquarters are at t1r Anchorage Hotel. Just who is the instigator of the revolt against single blessedness, deponent sayeth not. but the fact remains that henceforth sour doughs and sourdough- nuts intend to hold their chin higher and bestow only patronizing glances instead of sheep eyes on the fair sex of Anchorage.
 We've been scorned.' says one seeker after ronnubai bliss and pork and beans.
 ''We'lI revolt and import some brides" says another.
 Come on. let's go." says q third.
 Here are the rules and modus oper andi of the Bridegroom Club:
 An Associated Press dispatch was sent out recently announcing that twerty five brides ran.-ine from flap pers to mature matrons were wanted instanter: that the prospective benz diets Yre willing to defray the ex- neiisfas M She brides from as far ca st as Boston: that they will provide n cliape-on to see that no bride is kid mapped by the alert sourdoughs turk ing in Juneau.

GIVING ALASKA PUBLICITY
The bulletin myH:

The buNetih SAyS:
 This office. from time to time. re- ceives bundles of letters written by the pupils of soane grade in one of tao schools of the States with request that they be given similar grade in some Alaska school for reply. Like wise. various Alaska schools receive letters from schools on the Outside. In many cases the teachers consider the time spent in answering such let ters poorly spent. Such a plan of in terchanging letters would seem. how ever. to be highly advantageous from not only a pedagogic standpoint but also from q standpoint of removing from the minds of some of the resi- dents of the States some of the lead ing fallacies and misconceptions re- garding Alaska.
 Tn so far as the former is con csrned q very direct motive ts provided ter writing which is one of the most important and largely used forms of composition. As for the letter. real facts can be substituted for the grossly exaggerated idels now existing es- peciaIly if teachers exercise some de gree of supervision over the work and encourage children to discuss climate,
 resources, commercial possibilities and general advantages. not only of the community in which they reside but
 also in their section of Alaska and in At.lsk;l as a whole.
 "Wc are going to suggest. there fore. that such an interchange of Iet- teIs be made definite part Of the work in Language and Geography dur ing the remainder of the school year initiative and select schools in com
 munities situated in many parts of the States for such an interchan nge of correspondence. The same type of let ters which is sent to tan sixth grade of certain Colorado schools by the sixth grade pupils of the Ketchiisln schools may also be sent to certain Iowa schools. and to schools in other sta tes. It will facilitate matters if
 the superintendent or teacher takes charge of all letters and send them in one package to the superintendent or to the teacher of the grade with which correspondence is sought

A Vermont Reading Circle

When anchor ice begun to make,
And Johnny's root struck up an ache,
And hens closed down to halftime
eegs,E
And boots felt cold around your legs,
And bitey winds commenced to blow.
And oldish folks was taking SNOW"
And district school commenced to
keer,
And bears begun to 90 to sleep,
And ma was through with coloring
yarn
And all the stock was at the barn:
Twas then that youngish folks took
hold iaau0e
ITO make the nights less long and
cold;
The Study Club sprung into life
And met with Allen Wizards wife;
| Al didn't want to know no more
He said, and Jest preferred the store;
The Cirque DramatIque tried to see
If they could hire the yestry free;
A singing school subscription list
Was hancocked fast by every fist
Then there was spelling bouts and
becs
And kitchen turks and farmers
teas;
Our Ready Reading Circle, though,
Led all the others, that know;
For years and years it stood the test
And Plato would have liked 1t best
There wasn't any rules or fee
And all was welcome as could be;
The only thing you had to do
Was read when you was called on to
Though reading was our basic art
We stood for any vlrtu part;
We sonnet mes had Sappho Hour
For girls who wrote with ease and
power;
We had some three or four in town
That might have wove Apollo'S
crown
The hired men glimpsed cultures
lights
And conned their Whittier Sunday
nights,
And Lucy I4arcoms works was found
One day this side the burying ground
We had a paper every week
To polish off your fault or freak;
II folks was wild the lttlest bit
They more than likely got hit,
And If you said per.lice for pc
The editress would let you know;
Your tongue jest had to walk crack
Or ketch it in the Weekly Whack;
We couldn't slang as much, not we,
AS Shoe Fly, there! don't bother me
We always had question. too,
And voted when the talk was through
We started in where Darwin, dead,
And Mill left off, and went ahead;
Our arguers argued mighty strong
On whot was right but might be
wrong,
And once, to show that they was
bright
We give a Clay and Webster Night,
A college education found
Its match, BY Gum! when they was
round.
Most always old Jodge Woods would

The Circle in for closing night;
We had a special programme then
And girls was lowed to see his den

And that Lucille liked chicken fried,
And then the Jedgc would bless Us
