Anchorage Pioneers Opposed To
 Proposed Mining Law Changes

members. in regular meeting assem- bled:
 That this Igloo. composed of p.o. neers with more than fifteen years residence in Alaska. unqualihedly opposes the passage of the bill known as the Arentz bill for the re- vision and qualification of the min ing laws. being H.. R. 7763, beiiey- ing that if this bill became a law in Alaska the effect you'd be to cur tail prospecting. retard development in the mining indu,try, and serious ly injure the growth and prosperity of the territory.
 Some of the principal objections 10 the bill. as applied to Alaska, We find as follows:
 l. The requirement for recording of claims located in the land office only. with no provision for record in the district where the claim is locat- ed, would practically put an end to the locating of claims in the terri tory. except in the vicinity of the one and only land office, situated at the capital at Juneau.
 From this point Alaska extends east l5O miles, south 800 miles, north 1000 miles and west 2,000 miles.
 9. The average prospector is not a surveyor, and us-ally cannot find or afford to employ one. To locate according to the cardinal lines in Alaska. which Is not surveyed would be prohibitive, and such at tempted locations made during stampede or mining discovery would be productive of unnecessary litiga- tion-the amount and extent of which can only be imagined.
 8. Verifcation of discovery upon a lode claim by a surveyor would be luxury not to be hoped for by the average Alaska prospector.
 4. We are not -n favor of the complete change sought To be ac- complished by the proposed law in the theory upon which lode claims are now acquired. Under the pres ent law the vein is the principal consideration. and .t can be acQuir- ed to the limits of the length of the claim and to it's utmost depth. by discovery and development work. performed annually. till patent shall issue.
 Under the proposed law, the vein is made secondary to the acquisition of the surface area comprised with in the limits of the claim, and its possession and ownership termin- ates when it depaIls from the side lines of the claim extended verti- cally downward; twice the area is allowed, no discovery is required for five years, and S1CO in assessment work may cover fC1r claims.
 It is the belief of this igloo that this provision is net in the interest of the prospector and the owner of non-producing mines; it is doubt full if it is in the interest of the pro- ducing mines to be developed in the future, or in the interest of capital seeking investment In the mining in- dustry.
 The long line of mining decisions, SO carefully interpreting the terms of the present law would be set al naught, and the courts would be confronted with the problem of in- terpreting the new law; the mining industry in Alaska would languish and the prospector would be driven from the frontier.

 The action of the Igloo was based more upon fear of revolutionary changes creeping in than of the pro- posed apex law, aud the result of the vote was inhVenced generally by the assumption that it would be better to leave the law alone than open it to the influences of consery- ationists and others.

ELLSWORTH SCHOOL NOTES.
(By Supt. H. e. Henry

The regular meeting of the school
committee, which takes place the
last Tuesday of each month, was
held on Friday, Feb: 3, owing to the
illness of Mr.. Maddocks.
Miss Minerva Jordan, teacher Of
the West. Side primary, expresses
thanks to the ladies who SO kindly
contributed clothing for few of the
needy ones of that school. l may
also add that Miss Jordan can use a
few more garments, if any of the
more fortunate of our citizens have
any outgrown clothing which they
care to donate.
Rural teachers who will assume
the responsibility of serving noon
lunches may have the cooking uten-
sis at the expense of the city.
Harold A. Allan, State rural
school agent, of Augusta, attended
the educational rally at Surry re-
Gently and visited schools in Ellis
worth.
All persons wishing to take the
State teachers examination at Ellis
worth Saturday, Feb. 25, should at
once notify State Supt. Thomas, at
Augusta, of their intention, SO that
the required number of blanks may
be sent. The examination will be
conducted at the School Street
school, beginning at o'clock. Can
didates arriving late will do so at
their own risk.
The superintendent had the pleas
ure of attending the teaching exer-
cises in the course in home hygiene
and care of the sick at the court
house last Monday. The course is
certainly worth all the effort that
has been put forth. These teach
ing periods are open to visitors, and
you are cordially invited to, be pres
ent. There are still several articles
needed in the way of Equipment for
the course l mention this because
there may be some one who would
like the opportunity to assist in this
good work. Among the articles
needed are an ice-cap, an air-cush-
ion, a bedside table, and some bed
spreads. Anyone wishing to donate
or loan any of the above may COM
municate with the superintendent of
schools or with Miss Vivien Hoyt
the nurse.
Please read carefully the report
of the superintendent of chools in
tne annual city report soon TO De IS
sued, and then advise us of any
thing that does or does not meet ap-
prevail. May l say just here that
the rate of taxation and the rate for
support of schools are still too lof
to entitle the city of Ellsworth to
participate in the State equalization
fund for support of elementary and
high schools?

General Harbord Makes Bust
ness Appeal for More
Appropriations.

was. sNGToN, Oct. A. Stock,
holders Of the. firm Of Uncle Sam,
Limited, were called upon today
by Mai. Gen. 81 G. Hartford, deputy
chief Of statf Of the army, to come
to the rescue OF the "old line insur:
ance" business the army has con.
Quoted successfully for $50 years.
The officer was speaking before
the first annual convention OF re.
serve officers in session here, and
he told his brother officers that as
stockholders Of the firm whose
board Of directors met under the
dome OF the capitol, the army was
appealing to them for a vote of con.
fidenee In the shape Of adequate
appropriations.
General Hartford pitched his re.
marks wholly in the language OF
the commercial world, saying he
did so because the citizen officers
to whom he spoke were business
and professional men,"
Carrying soldering as side line,
he described Congress as a board
Of directors controlling the. destin.
les Of all government industries In.
Guiding the army, whose principal
business was that Of national life
and fire insurance.
1--WE claim to help guarantee and
to guard and TO insure the life Of
our country" General Hartford
said. Our firm has been doing
this class OF business for nearly
$50 years; in fact, our house flag
has flown over us without change
for longer period than the exist.
ence under their present form Of
incorporation Of any Of our prin.
cipal rivals"
Once every thirty years on an
average, he declared, the business
faced war expansion. He re.
called that within live years,
branch offices" had been opened
overseas and "over two millions
special agents sent TO Europe un:
der our present General Manager
VA ohih6s 1utup VI Jul IepIe6tlLas
tives closed their accounts with al
credit balance in the very morning
of their lives and will never come
home again"
Still in business language, Gen.
eral Harbord described the reaction
that followed war expansion, clos:
ing out surplus stocks at sacrifice
prices, shutting down factories and
discharging many trained EN-.
ployes.
In the 1920 reorganizations, he
said, attempt was made to profit
by war experience in the building
up of reserve against some new
emergency. A change in manage.
ment, he said, took place, Mr.. Bak-
er being succeeded by Mr.. Weeks,
and General Manager Marcn Civ
ing way to Pershlng. Retrench.
ment was promised, he continued,
but with knowledge that there was
an irreduclble minimum below
which our firm could not go. Try.
Ing days were ahead when, wild
cat schemes OF socialism and Boil.
sheylsm would seek to impair the
standing Of the firm in the coun.
