reted up to about SO feet of the sur

creted up to about so feet of the sur
face, with concrete stations, pump
houses and other underground nee
essities. This will require an i'm
mense amount of labor steel and
cement and a considerable amount
of money. This also indicates that
the mine warrants the expenditures
and that the changes are necessary
to prolong the life of the Pioneer.
With normal life, figured on yearly
shipments of so years, it is somewhat
of a question how much the new i'm
provement will add. This is speaking
only of the Pioneer and we have the
Zenith, Sibley and Chambers, besides
hundreds of acres of prospective de-
velopment.
When the hotel committee calls
on you, talk the matter over with
them and then dig down for as much
of the stock as you can carry. This
is figured as a gilt-edged investment
and with sure returns. It has been
figured to a nicely and the men who
are putting up the larger part of the
money are enthusiastic over the. pros
poets. Every dollar invested in new
buildings here adds just that much
to the value of other property in the
city. We have the city, we have
the people and we also have the
money if it only can be coaxed out
of its hiding places.
We deserve the new hotel building
and must have it in order to hold up
our end of the immense tourist traffic
in this direction. The mines are
good; the Superior National Forest
is valuable asset with its timber
supply on sustained yield basis; the
lakes are a drawing card and the
whole, coupled with the climate we
have; the lack of storms, tOrnadoes,
hot nights and such other deterrent
freaks of nature, make this section
indeed the playground of Nation :
Outsiders see this, while we, totally
surrounded with all this all the year
fail to appreciate what we have here
at home and what others come miles
for and spend large amounts to ac-
quire.
With the establishment Of a golf
course practically assured. we n ed
the hotel to cater to the class of
tourists who are golf bugs. With
our excellent skating Kinks, ski and
toboggan slides, snowshoe and dog
team country in the winter months,
the hotel is a necessity to complete
the work of making this both a sum-
mer and winter playground. Thous-
ands of people are looking for this
class of winter entertainment and we
have it here, all but the hotel.
We could write reams about this
but will suffice with the statement
that as can be seen above ap effort
will be made to build hotel in this
city and your help is needed.

Paul Thiry and Harry Loners, university juniors, received the Gladding Mclean Terra Gotta Company prize for 1926. Miss Shat tuck and MT.

 Reading like a situation out of a unexpectedly falling to Mrs. Gertrude Benfield, mother of Mrs. Thomas Lar more, of Fairbanks. A wire received by Mrs. Larmore a few days ago from her mother stated that she was heir to an estate of an uncle, valued at between $250,OO0 and S400,000. Mrs. Benfeld had not seen her uncle since she was small girl, for years did not know if he ,were alive or dead, and had communicated with him only during the last six or eight months. Besides his many other interests he was stockholder in the Kennecott mine Included i'll the estate is,a 550e- acre farm in Illinois, where the. uncle lived, and recently coal of unknown value was discovered on the farm.
 Joe Quigley, prominent miner of the Kantishna district, arrived at Fair banks a fe 'wdays ago, having walked from Eureka to the railroad, dis tanee of about 20 miles.
 1t is MT. Quigleyis belief that min ing in the Kantishna will be at mere or less of a standstill until adequate transportation facilities sare provided With the system now in use--either hauling ore to Roosevelt, on the Kan tishna river, for shipment in the sum- mer, or hauling ito ttke .Railroad- values must be unusually high to yield o nppfi4 anI it 1Ixy .ble to depend upon such transporta- tion methods for large-scale opera tons. The building tAf a railroad spur from Mckinley Park into the Kan tishna would, it is believed, open up an area extremely rich in minerals. With the railroad constructed, oHe going from $40 to SEQ "a ton could be prOfitably nnined.
 MT. Quigley did nss take taut any ore last winter, hut .enployedaa crew in opening up new mines. He will continue the development work next winter.

Now. some singers are so bcWitCh- cd with the sound of their own voices that they can hear nothing else. But if isn't that way with peepCT the Ilyla. Goodness, no! No, indeed! pccpar may seem all voice, but when you try 10 find him you will think he is all cars. He heard those two splaShCs in the Smiling Pool, and right away he was more interested in disappearing than in singing. All the other Hylas in the smiling Pool felt just the same way about it., Only a second before Mr. and Mrs. Quack splashed, splashed into the Smiling Pool, the air rang with tn" Hyla concert. A second aft er the splash, splash, not sound was 10 be heard from the water l. was as silent as if there were not 8 Hyla within miles and miles.
 Now, Mir and Mrs, Quack had heard th" Hyla concert long before they reached the Smiling Pool. IL had sounded good 10 them. Yes. in. deed, il had sounded very good to thcm. They wcr" not thinking of the sweetness of the voices. That was moi why it sounded good. The reason it soundcd good was that thoy were hungry. Of course, they couldn't cat those voices, but they could eat the owners of those voices. I mean, they could ii they could catch them. So they would have smiled. if ducks could smile, as they flew down 10 tho smiling Pool But the instant after they touched the water they listened in vain. Their musical dinners had disappeared. Yes, sir. they had so Mrs. Quack cooked her head 10 one side and listened. Mr. Quack cock od his head on one side and listened They heard nothing.
 "Ncver mind" said Mrs. Quack "all we need do is 10 sit perfectly still for a while and they'n begin 10 peep again." So they sat still and waited. They waited and waited. Then they waited some more There wasn't sound from the Smiling Pool. Peepcr the Hyla had stopped pecpinF. You see. he cared more about living th>n singing. Some peo- rle are hat way. He is a very small l fellow, but. as you see. there is con- siderable wisdom in that small head of his He would rather he q ucep- loss p,rprr han ducks dinn, r. And SO there WAS a great silence in she Smiling Tool.
