Bringing to a successful con- clusion the initial test trial of air mail service in Alaska un- der winter conditions, Air pilot Carl B. Elison landed at his home field in Fairbanks at G.: 45 o'clock on the evening of February 22, accomplishing in nine hours what has required twice that number of days by dog team service, according to the Fairbanks News-Miner.
 The News Miner gives the fol- lowing details of the flight over the 230 mile course:
 The trip to McGrath was made in two hours, thirty min- utes without accident. On the return trip, faulty compass and side wind, coupled with low visibility, put the plane out of it's course down the Kan tishna valley for one hour and twenty minutes. Lost for the time being, Eilson sought in all directions for Nenana or some other land mark. A light in 8 cabin, the only habitation he had seen since leaving Mo- Grath, attracted him and he

OREGON INDIAN SCHOOL
 CLOSED TO ALASKANS

As a result of a recent ruling by the United States Indian Field Service, of the Depart ment of the Interior, Indian and Eskimo children from Alaska will no longer be per- mitted to enroll as pupils at the Chemawa Indian School at Salem, Oregon. Alaska stud ents now in the school, how, ever, will be allowed to com plete their courses, if they so elect. The reasons given for this drastic change of policy are decidedly obscure. The rul- ing will compel many young natives of the northland to look elsewhere to obtain a broader education than may be obtained in the Bureau of Ed ucation schools in the Terri tory, majority of which are of decidedly limited scope as compared to the Chemawa in- stitution.

Forest Service Planning Reconstruction Of Texas
 Creek Trail This Summer

The Forest Service division of the Department of Agricul- ture is planning to reconstrucy the Texas Creek trail so that it will be paseable to pack horses during the coming summer, a.- cording to a letter from Chas. H. Flory, district forester for this district, received during the past few days. The mes- sage, written in reply to the re- cent petition of the miners ana claim owners of the Texas dis trict, asking for the construct ion of a wagon road through the Texas creek valley during the coming open Season, says i.
 II am advised by Forest Sup ervisor Zeller that he plans on rcconstructing the Texas Creek trail so that it will be, passable for pack horses during the coming season.
 While this perhaps does not furnish you with as good trans portation facilities as desired, will at least make the country accessible for pack trains and will enable those holding claims on Texas Creek. to do de- velopment work on them.
 T do not believe, however, from the information at hand that we would be justified in recommending the construct

MAKING ALASKA
 ARRANGEMENTS FOR
 ROUND WORLD FLIGHT

Lieutenant Bissel, U. s. A. ar-
 rived in Juneau Recently Ito
 make arrangements at various
 points along the southern coast
 of Alaska for the forthcoming
 attempt of American army fly
 e.,s to encircle the world by air. According to Lieut.. Bissel the
 trip will include seven stops on
 Alaskan territory. The first of
 these will be at Sitka, which
 will also be the only landing in Southeastern Alaska. The four rianes will first proceed from Seattle to Prince Rupert, them e to Sitka, Cordova, Chignik, Dutch Harbor, Atka Island and Attu Island, in the order nam- | ed. Leaving the latter station, the planes will proceed ovea $50 miles of ocean to Shumshu, Japan. The flight will be divid- cd into six sections in the pro- posed trip, which will be ap- proximately 36,000 miles III
 length. The longest flight of the entire globe circling trip will be the one from Attu ls- Land to Shumshu, Japan. It is proposed to fly across 8 por- ton of Greenland and the North Pole, according to Lieut.. Bissel. The four planes are now being built at Santa Monica, California. They will weigh $ IA tons each and have a wing spread of 50 feet. Power vii! be supplied by 40 h.p Liberty motors and each plane will carry two men.
 OWlng to a mlSStatemenT It was erroneously reported ia last weeks issue of the Miner that portion of the receipts of the recent performance of the Hyder Minstrels would go to the library fund of the M. E. Church. It appears, however. that the Hyder Public Library Fund was the proper destinat- ion of that portion of the funds not allotted to the Dorcas Soc- iety. The Public Library Fund was established. something over a year ago by Dr. F. k. Iteddick, the first funds beins derived from show given by Dr. Reddick and others. The fund has since ben increased from time to time until at pres ent there is over $7O on hand, which will be eventually in- creased to a sufficient amount to start the proposed library.

 took over the Ebner mining claims which are known to con- tain vast ore deposits is reason for believing the report of in- creasing the force true. The in- crease will be largely in the number of underground miners employed, which will mean d Iproportionate increase in the output of gold, the mills and offices, in fact, practically all departments, except that of getting out the ore, are al- ready fully manned.
 The Alaska Juneau Company has gradually but surely over come obstacles and inaugural ed improvements until it now ranks among the first of the mining industry, not only of America, but Of the world. The people of the world pay the equivalent of 200 million dollars year for matches, and every day of the year the world lights nearly IA billion matches or several for every man, wom- an and child. Nearly 30 mill lion dollars is invested in match making equipment in the Unit ed States alone.

TRAPPERS SAY FOOLISH
 LAWS KILLING BUSINESS

"The United States govern ment is giving the trapper and prospector a raw deal by the enforcement of foolish" trapping laws that drive the trappers to "bootlegging" , furs, says s. w. Jensen, trap per and prospector from the Yentna district, who recently called in Anchorage on a bus mess trip" says the Anchorage Times.
 Jensen brought in furs and a small quantity of gold dust which he said he recently pam med out on Clearwater creek.
 "I would like to see the time come when the fur laws are re- vised to give the Alaskan pros pector fair opportunity to trap enough fur to make his prospecting expenses. Most of the trappers make their stake for mining from catching fur bearing animals, but of recent months the fur regulations, laws and rules change so fast that a fellow never knows when he brings furs to mark ct whether he is going to the bank or to jail."
 The Midget Emporium is dis playing a splendid collection of photographic views by the we'll known local photo-artist H. A.

The display embraces a large assortment of local scenic views, as well as large assortment of scenes taken in other parts of the Territory, in- cluding the famous glaciers or the Alaska coast and beautiful natural scenery.

The mail steamer Prince of Wales arrived from Ketchikan Thursday, bringing several passengers and a practically full cargo of freight, in addit- ion to the. weekly mail. Owing to the vessel arriving at an eal- ly hour, Postmaster Oren F.. Hill went to the dock and per- sonally carried the first class matter to the office. As a re- suit of this gratituitous and public spirited service the letter mail was distributed and ready for delivery before the majority of Hyderites were out of bed and those whose cores pondence required immediate answer were given ample time to reply. This was not by any means the first time that the Postmaster has performed thls service. He has done so during the greater part of the winter. As it is not included in his dur- ies he is justly entitled to the thanks of our citizens. In view of the usually short stay of the mail boat, the service is one ot great benefit to those who de- sire to answer letters at once.

Labor Loses Leaders
This revolution has cost the Next

leaders. We have lost Feline Car
rillo in Yucatan, Olvera Flores as
sassinated right on the streets Of
Mexico. while in Orizaba when that
city was retaken from the enemy
eighteen of our best known comrades
did not answer the role. The list of
the martyrs in the fight for the
emancipation of the workers has
grown tragically during the last two
months.
Mexican Labor has paid a great
price but it has learned a great les
son-that it cannot and should not
have remained pacificist in its at
tempt to better its living conditions.
After the last revolution which over
threw the traitor Carranza and which
put Obregon into the Presidency, the
workers turned in their arms and
went to work just as they are plan
ming to do now. With only this diff
ference that this time they win keep
the arms, that they will keep on drill
ing, that they will always be on the
lookout for any further reactionary
outbreaks.
Had the workers OF Mexico taken
but little time from the work of or
ganization and education and from
the task OF helping in the reconstruc-
ton of Mexico the de la Huerta
coupe would not have lasted more
than a week. Never more than now
