Chas. E. Heron, directing head of the Hyder-Jumbo and Hyder-Skookum mining com panies, arrived from the States Monday evening. MT. Heron was accompanied tc Hyder by Addison Brown ot New York, who made the trip to look over the country.
 MT, Heron plans to do con- siderable development work on the Hyder-Jumbo and Fly der-Skookum d properties during the present season and has had a small crew at work fol some days under the direction of D. B. Patterson, widely known old timer of the north.
 MT. Heron states outside mining men are displaying con- siderable interest in Hyder and many will probably visit the camp during the summer to look the district over.

MOLYBDENUM IN
 UNITED STATES

Although the United States
 has thousands of molybdenum
 deposits ranging in size from
 those hich produce only a few flakes of molyhdenite, to those in which there are millions of tons of ore, only two mo-
 lybdenum mines were operat- ed during 1925, according to the Bureau of Mines, Depart ment of Commerce, says Min ing Truth.
 The market has not grown sufficiently large to warrant the operation of other mines. The two which operated are we'll equipped and are owned by companies which make their own molybdenum com pounds to be sold to the steel trade. In Colorado the Climax Molybdenum Go. operated throughout the year at Climax, about 15 miles, by rail, north east of Leadville. In New Mexi- co, the Molybdenum Corporal ion of America operated, it's mine in Sulphur Gulch, about 7 miles east of Questa. Togeth- CT the companies produced 97, ,665 tons of ore, from which was made 864 short tons Of concentrates carrying 72.7 to 85 per cent molybdenum sul- phide equivalent to 1,154,065 pounds of molybdenum (met- aD.

GOOD WORK DONE IN
 SPECIAL SCHOOL DEPT.

1 That the public school short course in Citizenship conducts. ed during the year 1925-26 proved attractive to students is evidenced by a report recently issued by Lester D. Henderson. Commissioner of Education. A total of 308 adults took advan- tage of this opportunity to im- prove their understanding of English, United States history ad civics, and general elemen- tary school subjects. Of this number 101 were aliens, 98 declarants or holders of first papers, 23 petitioners or appli- cants for second papers, and 86 citizens of the United States.
 During the course of the year three students took out final citizenship papers, fourteen made applications for second papers, and fourteen took out first papers.
 Schools were maintained in eleven communities; Chicha- gof, Douglas, Fairbanks, Jun eau, Kasaan, Kennecott ket- chikan, Latouche, Petersbur;, Sitka and Tenakee. The school term ranged from 12 to 24 weeks, with the exception of Sitka, where poor attendance made it necessary to discon- tinue the sessions at the cloae of the first month.
 The total cost to the Ter itory VIZ was > S$3.S2.44C1.. s .S2.4C1 or s21I2. per .ca;!p= craze daily attendance. E;gh-- teen teachers were employed.
 Nationalities represented in the enrolment with the num- Der of each are as follows: Americans (white 16, negro 1, Alaska Indian 22), 39; Aus trians, 6; Belgians,2; Bulgar- .ans,1; Canadians,1; Czecho-

WAR DEPARTMENT
 TO CONSIDER FLOOD
 PROTECTION APPEAL

The Chamber of Commerce appeal against the adverse flood protection decision of the Alaska representatives of the War Department Engineering Board, will receive a hearing and close consideration by the Board of Engineers at Wash ington D. C., according to a letter from the department re- ceived by the Chamber of Commerce.
 The communication promises that the department will make a careful study of the river sit uation.
 As the Chamber of Con- merce appeal presents the re- quest of the community for protection against the en- croachments of Salmon River from several new angles, and also includes much additional data showing the imperative need for governmental assist ance if Hyder is to be spared a disastrous flood, there is much reason to hope that it may at least induce more thorough invstigation of the conditions before the question is finally determined.
