NEW co MP NY
 TO OPERATE ON
 OLD L. L. & H. GROUP

A newly organized company known as the Playfair Gold Mines, Ltd, will undertake de- velopment of the old L. L. & H. group on the south fork of Bit ter Creek, according to an- nouncements made in Stewart last week.
 The new organization, cap- italized for 100000 is head ed by w. J. Jancowski, we'll known mining man, as presi- dent and Alan Carolan and w. D. Smith, prominent Stewart business men are among the directors.
 The property was bonded last April by Vancouver inter ests represented by MT. Jan cowski and has been the scene of extensive development in earlier years, which included over 500 feet of tunneling on three levels.
 The ore carries a good gold content, in addition to other metals, and presents highly at tractive development possibil- ities.

Big Quartz Project
 For Klondike Area

The famous Klondike area will be the scene of renewed mining activity this summer with the launching of a big quartz development project on Bear Creek. nine miles from Dawson, by the Klondike Gold Quartz Mines. Ltd.
 Engineers now claim that the placer gold came originally from adjacent lode veins on which the Klondike Mines property is located.
 The company plans to install a 30-ton mill and it is estimated that $30,000 in gold will be re- covered during the first year of operation
 The company property is des- cribed as mountain or mass of gold ore with a we'll defined vein system running Through it. Assays from exploratory tunnels are said to range from $15.43 to 23.86, with gold at $2O.

MANY CLAIM OWNERS
 ASK FOR EXEMPTION

A total of 294 local min ng properties were represented iii notices of desire to hold mining claims filed this year in the Re corder'S division of the U. s. Commissioners office in con- formity to the act of Congress providing exemption from the performance of annual assess ment work on mining claims for the year ending July l.
 Up to the close of the filing period at nocn last Sunday, 6 total of 46 claim holders had registered their desire to hold properties under the act. The proper.ie. for which the nctic- es were filed ranged from one to a dozen claims, with the av- craze for each filler slightly ov- CT six claims. Individual own CTS were permitted to file on net to exceed six claims, while co-partnerships, associat', Jns and corporations were allow 'a twelve claims.
 Vilf,ually all the properties represented last year under the assessment suspension act 1883 were included in the fil- ings th:s year, although the total number of claims applied for was somewhat less this year. This was due, apparent ly to claim owners aband oning some of their less desirable holdings, owing to the limitat- ion in the number of claims for which exemption could be asked under this years enact ment.

JUNE MERCHANDISE
 EXPORTS LOWEST
 IN PAST DECA AD E

Shipments of merchandise from Alaska to the United States in June were valued at $292,915, according to the monthly statement of Collector of Customs J. J. Connors. Gold and silver exports during the month were valued at $766,3O0 and brought the total of all ex- port values to $1,059,261.
 The merchandise figures were the lowest for any month in the past decade and represent a decline of more than 40 per cent compared to those of June, 1888.
 Due doubtless to the shipping blockade at Seattle, fish ex- Forts declined widely in all lines except cured or preserved salmon, which showed a gain of $74,441 compared to June last year. The itemized list follows:

WANTS new POWELL
SCHOOL BUILDING
Principal Cites Only Remedy He
Sees After Appeal to Citi-
zens' Associations.

With District school officials saying
they can find no solution to the over
crowded condition at the Powell Junior
High School. Lester T. Walter, prlnc1-
pal of the school, proposes that the
adjacent land be purchased by the
District to erect new school.
Not only is actual building space
badly needed, Mr.. Walter points out,
but playground space and playground
facilities.
An appeal to the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association was made by
Mr.. Walter two months ago, asking
it do something to relieve the
overcrowded condition existing at the
school, and also toward securing
proper playground space for use by
the children.
The Citizens Forum Of Columbia
Heights, which meets in the Powell
School library, has fought consistently
toward securing a. gymnasium for
boys at the school and passed reso-
lutions asking for relief of the over
crowding.
The 1882 enrolment of the school
was 861. At present it is 1897. Orig
inally a 16-room building, third
floor, with nine rooms, was added to
the school recently. This was in
tended to relieve the overcrowding
but soon afterward it was necessary
to take over six rooms of the john
son Elementary School, across the
street.
This served the purpose but for a
short time, bringing forth the pres
ent problem.

PROGRAM ON TRAFFIC
WILL BE CONSIDERED
Lincoln Park Executive Commit
tee Draws Up List of IL
Recommendations.

With a view to improving traffic
conditions of the District the Executive
Committee of the Lincoln Park Citi-
zens' Association last week drew up
12-point traffic program to be pre-
sented to members of the association
tomorrow night.
The suggestions are as follows:
That the Commissioners be given
full power to regulate trafic laws;
that ban be placed on the fixing OF
tickets where accidents occur, that
police personnel be increased; that all
automobiles be inspected for safety
requirements.
That law for the control Of reck-
less and financially irresponsible mo-
torists be passed by Congress; that an
investigation be made Of court ham
ding of all traffic cases: that the laws
be amended so the driver Of an auto
mobile whose car Injuries any one at
an intersection, be charged with in
tent to kill; that parking be prohibited
within "a feet of any contested in
tersection.
That a study shall be made Of the
speed limits, and what effects the
placing Of speed limit signs on certain
streets might have in reducing acci-
dents; that drivers under the influence
of liquor be given the full penalties
of the law: that thorough study of
the street lighting be made; that the
association indorse the proposed
municipal garage.

NORTHWEST COUNCIL
PLAN IS CONSIDERED
Forest Hills President Names
George Esch to Study Prob

Formation Of a northwest confer
ence Of citizens associations has be-
come the aim of the Forest Hills Citi-
zens' Association. Believing united
strength is all important toward
achieving community accomplish
ments, L. A. Carruthers. president of
the group, has appointed George Esch
to study the matter and report at the
next meeting
The conference would include all

nue. and west of Connecticut avenue.
with two members from each body
designated to act for their respective
groups in a joint committee. Forest
Hills, Friendship, North Cleveland
Park, Chevy Chase and others would
be included in the conference.
The idea originated about a year
ago when ESch introduced a resolu-
| ton before the Forest Hills Citizens
| Association calling for the banding to-
gether of the four bodies for disc Us
sions on matters relating to the alice
Deal Junior High School and the
Woodrow Wilson High School. Let
ters were sent to all groups concerned,
but only Friendship seemed in favor
of the idea at that time Forest Hills
plans to undertake the organization
of the conference with renewed effort
after having seen the success of other
