VALDEZ MINING
 ACTIVITY COMING
 YEAR LOOKS GOOD
INTERESTING BATCH OF MIN ING NEWS FROM OLDTIMER
 TOWN OF VALDEZ

From Carl Miller, well known resident of Valdez and who like wise is equally we'll acquainted with Seward oldtimers, sends over to the Gateway the following in- teresting batch of news notes and observations:
 T think 1929 is going to be a banner year for mining in this district for I have had some good news from Seattle informing me of many people interested and looking toward Valdez this coming season. I will say that is the Seat tie spirit.
 ''Tlo freiohte, Tanana arrive, here with thousands of feet of lumber for the Port Wells Gran ite Mining Go. T. w. Duncan, general manager of the company, will leave Seattle on one of the next steamers to begin operations.
 There is also strong talk about taking over the Hamilton proper ty; the Mayfield mine will also be worked this spring. D. Coats, c. Anderson and Warren Taylor, all of Cordova, are going to open up the first of March on the Ethel. James Patterson, Frank Kempher and associates are going to work this spring and the great old Cliff mine will soon again be pro- ducer.
 Jeff Derien's properties are showing up better all the time. Jeff certainly has got the stuff. On Mineral Creek the Wm. Assitz property also looks good. If he had not had his recent accident he would have had his mine operat- ing today.
 "Wm. Dolan, Jack Coats and several others, having claims in the vicinity of Valdez, are look ing for a great improvement in mining activities this year and I think myself that this year and 1880 Valdez will see one of those oldtime mining revivals; let's hope so. It will all help our sister towns; in fact the entire Terri tory, so let us boost all we can. If we can get Seattle capital inter ested in mining it will show that the people realize that Alaska helped to build Seattle and by in vesting money in the Territory will continue to assist in the upbuilding of that city. We are a little short of the Alaska spirit and good fel- lowship. More of this would serve to develope that much faster.

this standard has been reached with
test against this action as being UNI
necessary,
since the value Of sunshine to the

Children participating in extra cur
riculsr activities, such as cadets, do not
now have sufficient opportunity for rest
before beginning their home work, there
fore we protest this action which would
postpone the starting of the after
school activities to a later hour.
THE school day was heightened
without consulting those most con-
cerned the parents and the teachers,

being undemocratic.
The working day of the teachers

Deisch concludes it probably would
be necessary to produce the effects of
gravity by some other means. This
could be done by centrifugal force pro-
duced by keeping the etherodrome in
a constant state of rapid rotation Just
like the earth.
Deisch considers the dangers to the
physical organism arising from con-
stantly changing pressures and the
external dangers, such as storms of tiny
meteors moving faster than rife bullets
and tearing holes in the air-tight cham
Der, and the unknown electrical condi-
tons in space, which may include
streams of electrons of sufhcient density
to produce x-rays when they strike the
