GOVERNMENT GIVES VAST SUM
FOB ROADS

The House Committee on Roads has
favorably reported a bill CHR. $3.50,
introduced by Representative Dowell
Of Iowa, chairman Of the committee,
providing increases Of $50,000,000 an
nrally for the fiscal years 1881, 1892
and 1888, for the construction OF
Federal-aid highways.
The present annual appropriation
for federal-aid road construction IL
S75,000,000. Under the Dowell bill
this is increased to $4,000, 900.
These figures seem staggering when
compared with the modest sum Of ST.
100000, which would be annually re-
qoired to operate the ( proposed
national Department of Education.
Opponents Of such a department
have repeatedly stressed the belief
that the Federal Government would.
in the event of it's establishment, seek
to Control the public schools al
though the various bills introduced
in Congress have clearly indicated
that this fear is groundless. Surely no
one can truthfully say that the Fed
eral Government seeks to control the
state highways Of this country. And
again, no one can be ignorant Of the
vast benefit enjoyed by these high
ways through the stupendous sum
that is annually appropriated by the
Government for their common Inn
prOvement.

THE UNCONSCIOUS ARSONIST

Some millions Of Americans are un-
conscious arsonists.
This is startling statement, and
any one Of the millions would angrily
deny it. Yet 1t is true. None of them
purposely set fires. But all of them.
through ignorance or carelessness,
unconsciously start fires. !,
The difference between the man who
consciously fires house, and the
man who allows wiring TO go una;
tended, throws oil soaked rags in
corners or drops his matches and Gig
arettes wherever he happens to finish
with them, is one of law and motive,
lot Of effect.
We are, with increasing successes,
lighting the active arsonist, and when
he is caught he is imprisoned for
long terms. The unconscious arsonist
S beyond the law and destroys more
lives and property than the deliberate
arsonist.
Every fire hazard imperils the en-.
tire community. A fire starting in a
dsused garage may destroy million
dollar factory Are you an unconscious
arsonist?

ILLITERACY RAMPANT IN
THE NATIONS CAPITAL

One of the most striking proofs Of
the need of a national Department Of
Education lies In the fact that the
District of Columbia has a percentage
of illiteracy higher than that of Il
states OF the Union.
According to the latest census, TO-
.-39 of the local population over ten
years of age are unable to read or,
write. These figures are all the more
startling when 1t is considered that
the District is completely within an
urban area and supposed to possess
adequate school facilities.
The public schools of the city are
considered to be among the best and
most efficient in the nation and ye,
this glazing fact of illiteracy clearly
proves that something Is decidedly
lacking in an educational sense. A
national Department OF Education is
needed to correct this unfortunate
condition.

1929 FUR EXPORTS OF
 ALASKA Az MILLION

Skins of 297,448 fur-bearing land animals valued at $4,513,- 863.76 were exported from Alaska in 1928, according to a report from the Alaska Game Commission to the Biological Survey bureau of the depart ment of agriculture. This is S215,226.63 more than the val ue represented by the 1928 fur exports, although 38,629 fewer furs were exported. The larger return for 1929 resulted from increased market value of the individual furs.
 Red fox skins, to the number of 21,023 brought a return of S1, O42,740.80; blue-fox skins, 7,976, brought $80S,208.08; white-fox skins, 2,179 in num-
 
 b e r, brought $733,784,75; mink, 26,695, brought $552,- 586.50; Id lynx, 7,575, brought S462,832.50. T h e number o f muskrat skins shipped in 1929 exceeded by far those of other species. A to- tai of 190,377 muskrat skins brought a return of $194,184.- 54. Only 1,547 beaver skins were exported during 1929 be- cause there was no open seas on on beavers. The kinds of skins of which there was a not able increase in number export ed during 1928 over the num- Der for 1928 were as follows: Red-fox, 5,884 increase; white fox, 7,646; lynx, 2,598; mink 5,658; and weasel (ermine), 7,214. Skins of other species showed somewhat of a de- crease. The report also notes that more than 34,000 seal skins were taken on the Prib- lof Islands under the supervis- ion of the department of com merce, and netted a gross re- turn of $721, ,000 to the United States as it's part of the pro- ceeds.

SILVER MOVEMENT
 MAKES PROGRESS

Suggestions for improving the silver situation are becoming increasingly numerous in silver mining circles and there ap- pears every prospect for the view that methods will soon be devised for relieving the pres ent unsatisfactory conditions.
 Suggestions for the relief of silver offered at a meeting of the Northwest Mining Associ- ation early this month included proposals for a silver export organization and the possibil-
 ty of United States silver pro- ducers advancing enough sil- yer to China to stabilize the currency of that country, one of the worlds greatest users of silver. It was also announced at the meeting that Monty Ferry, president of the Silver Producers Association of the United States had gone to New York to confer with c. F. Kel- ley, of the Anaconda Copper Company; F. H. Brownell, president of the American Smelling and Refining comp any, and MT. Robertson, of the United States Refining and Mining company, relative to the silver situation.

IMPROVED FEDERAL
 ADMINISTRATION IN
 ALASKA PLANNED

Secretary Wilbur announced recently that President Hoover has formed the three commiss- toners for Alaska appointed under the Act of February 10, 1927, into a committee to rec cmmend steps for improving governmental administration in Alaska. The first meeting of the committee will be held in Juneau during the present month, to begin study of the administrative problems pre- senting themselves in the far north.
 The commissioners represent departments of the federal government in Washington, and each has charge of import ant elements of administration in Alaska. They are George A. Parks, governor of Alaska, representing the department of .the interior; Dennis Winn, rep resentativa of the department of Commerce, having charge of fishing problems in Alaska and Charles H. Flory, repre- senting the department of agri- culture, and having charge of farm, stock and forestry prob lems in the Territory.
 The purpose of the committee is to determine b y study whether recommendations can be made leading to the placing of more authority for the con- trol of Alaska in that territory rather than in Washington, and thus increasing the opportun- ity for the economic and com .mercial development of the territory. The action is in har- mony with the recent act of the department of the interior in transferring responsibility for the reindeer herds of Alaska from the bureau of education in Washington to the governor of Alaska.
 While the ex-officio com missioners will have no author ity for final action, their rec concentrations to the president will make it possible for him to bring about needed coordinat- ion.

NEWSY JOTT|NGS BEARING ON LOCAL
 MINING ACTIVITIES

Although official confirm ation is lacking, it is now fairly we'll established that the Pre- mier Gold Mining Company is making preparations for the construction of a milling plant on Marmot River to handle the lower grade ores of the Porter Idaho and Prosperity proper ties, and possibly those of the Silverado.
 The company has been en- gagged for some time in clearing large plot of ground near the tram terminal at the mouth of Marmot River for use as a dumping ground for milling grade ores which will be taken from the company properties on Mt. Rainey prior to the mill construction. It is understood that the projected mill will have a daily capacity of 100 tons or over and that construct ion will be started during the present season. s
 An Outside exchange reports that Conrad Wolfe, managing director of the Cantu Mining company, has gone to New York in connection with the fi- nancing of the company oper-, ations.
 A Vancouver press dispatch this week reports that a group of Vancouver business men headed by Hugh McGuire & Co.,, has taken over the bal ance of stock in the treasury of the Woodbine Gold Mining Go. and will undertake an active development program on the Woodbine property. Work is scheduled to commence about the last of May.

BIC MISSOURI REPORT
 DETAILS DEVELOPMENT

The annual report of manager Duncan MacVichie of the Big
 Missouri Mining company rel
 ative to activities on the Big
 Missouri property presents an- excellent word picture of the development plan now in oper- ation on that noted property, but discloses no hint of the con- temptations regarding com- merical exploitation. It says:
 "In 1928 when the Buena Vista Mining Company, a sub- sidiary of the Consolidated Mining and Smelling Company, Ltd, of Canada, assumed the management of the Big Miss ouri Mine, a comprehensive plan of development of the property undertaken. This plan consisted of driving the Prov. ince crosscut tunnel north 57 deg. west. During 1927, 1928 and 1929 this tunnel has been driven a total of 2691 feet. From the crosscut tunnel two north-south drifts have been driven. The first or east drift was started 1700 feet westerly from the portal of the tunnel, and driven north-south a total distance of 1040 feet; and ap- proximately 900 feet beyond this first or east drift, another drift has been driven north south for total distance of ap- proximately 1270 feet, for pur- poses of this report called the west drift. The plan being to lay out the work geometrically and diamond drill the area be- tween these two drifts, cross cutting the ore bearing format, ion, and also to drill east of the east drift and west of the west drift.
 Only a small portion of the ar ca opened by the north-south drifts has been covered as yet by drilling, and the location of the holes has been made more or less at random. So far the ore occurs in irregular chan nels or belts of quartz porphy- ry alternating with belts of tuffs. The general strike of the quartz porphyry is north south. When this program of drilling is completed it will be possible to estimate ore re-. serves with some degree of ac- curacy.

SOMMERS' RIVER DIVERSION PLAN
 IS WORKING FINE

For the first time in the hist ory of the camp, Hyder is fac ing the spring rush of water down the turbulent Salmon River without apprehension of a possibly disastrous flood, thanks to the splendid plan of diversion worked out last year by Robert J. Sommers, Terri torial Highway Engineer, for which appropriation was made by the last territorial legislat- ure.
 Those acquainted with condit- ions say the gradually increas- ing flow of water from the melting snow is, working out through the new channel in excellent manner and there ap- pears at present no prospect of recurrence of the dangerous flood conditions formerly de- veloping almost every spring.
 For the removal of the flood danger, as we'll as the ever present apprehension over the rivers vagaries, the camp as- suredly owes Mir. Sommers and the last legislature a debt of deepest gratitude.
 The Hyder Drug Go. prohibit ion poll will close Monday ev- ening at 10 p. m.. All who have not voted are requested to do so before that time.
 An annular eclipse of the sun will occur Monday and will probably be visible in this lat itude as a partial eclipse.

SAYS PRIMER MINE
 HAS LONG LIE AHEAD


 Gold Mining Company, writ CT in the April 1st Market Let ter of Wolverton & Company, Ltd, points out that close @an- alysis of the official statements of the company for the past four years indicates a decided ly different outlook for the famous Premier mine than is presented in the company re- ports, which of late have dis played a peculiarly depressing tone with respect to the mines future outlook. His deduct ions, printed below, are decid- edly interesting. He says:
 Students who have followed the history of this great proper ty, which has paid dividends in the past 1012 years (includ- ing April 1st, 1930) amounting to $14,565,0 ,000, appreciate the ultra conservative nature of all Premier reports and compli- ment the management on their conservative policy. At the same time, many casual read CTS of the current reports have not followed former reports carefully, and this remark ap- plies particularly to newspap- CT editors. Therefore, while not in any way criticizing tke cur rent report, We propose to ana lyze some of the figures dis closed. In order to accomplish such analysis intelligently, we have the past four years re- ports before us.
 "On December 31, 1927, brok- en and unbroken ore reserves were shown as 634,537 tons; 275,811 tons were mined in 19- 28 (which would leave 358,- 726), but we find that on Dec. 31, 1928, broken and unbroken reserves totaling 456,203 tons indicating that new ore devel- oped during 1928 approximat- ed 98,000 tons, and that net re- duction of reserves amounted to 160,O00 tons. No very point ed notice was taken of this statement by statisticans and the public.
 "On Dec. 31,1928, carrying forward the 456,000 tons of ore reserves and mining during ing 1929 267,000 tons, there should be only 100000 tons left. But at the end of 1929 we find 419,OO0 tons ore reserves, indicating only a net reduction of some 37,000 tons, or one quarter of the net reduction shown in 1928. Moreover, while newspaper editors have inferred from the current re- port that the above mentioned 419,000 tons would be entirely depleted and the mine worked out in less than two years-on an annual production of 267,- 900 tons an analysis of the sit uation, based on that same re- port Ga net depreciation of ST. 900 tons from the 1928 fig ures) would indicate a prob able life of at least 111a years.
 "Very little is said about new ore on the No. 6 level. Howev- CT, private advices from the mine indicate that a very i'm portant ore body carrying val ues over $20 per ton, has been uncovered.
 Fixed assets-property, build ings and equipment-are now valued at $3,048,000, but not so long ago were valued at ov- CT $14,000,0O0 The difference

PRIMARY ELECTION IS
 SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY

The biennial primary election will take place Tuesday for the nomination of party candidates for all the various elective of- fees of the Territory at, the regular election in November. The election is expected to de- velop into one of the most closely contested primaries of years, owing to the diversity of interests represented by vari- ous candidates who will sub- init their names to the voters Practically all of the numerc>s interests" which are alleged to exert such profound influ- ence in territorial politics and also allegedly on the poli- ticians,-are represented in the roster of office seekers presented below.
 Take your choice, ladies and gentlemen; they are all there; the old-timers and the tyro's, the professionals" and the plain citizens" all with glad smile on their countenance. Many of the faces are very fa- miliar as result of various earlier appearances in the same role and some have never before been thrust above the horizon of political hopes. Some are labeled democrats and some republicans but the labels don't mean much, for some of them have worn both of them at times in the past. And they are all deeply intent on serving the "deer peepul." In that respect they are all just alike. So take your choice, good folks, and may the gods of things as they ought to be help you to make wise choice. The polling place will be Chamber of Commerce Hall and the polls will be open from 8 a. m. to ' p. m. The judges and clerks of election will be B. B. Smith, Thomas Kelly and Noel M. Traversy.
