w. E. Dunkle, of the Lucky-Shot district, has a fair-sized crew of miners at work on the Golden Horn quartz ground, about three miles east of Flat, opposite the old Discovery on Otter Dunkle has established an up- to- the-minute mining camp there.
 On Slate Creek
 Operators on Slate creek who had successful seasons include Gus Uotilla, with his drag-line opera tions and Peter Miscovich at Dis covery, who did we'll with his hy- draulie plant.
 Otter and Flat
 In addition to a number of small operators along Otter creek who are sluicing year after year with good results. the Riley Investment com pany's dredge and Olsen and Com pany and Strandberg have operated successfully this year Olsen and Company has also operated two draglines successfully on Happy creek, over the divide between Flat and Willow.
 Willow Creek
 On Willow creek Dona La Chance and associates have been hydraulic ing with good success, as has Pete Jensen. an associate of Dunkle.
 Dan Mcconnell has had satisfac- tory results from property leased from Bill Duffy on Chicken creek.
 Good News Bay
 The Northern Development com pany has built a large camp in the Good News Bay district and in this, their first season, their drag line operation for platinum was very successful.
 Bear creek, near Bethel, has pro- duced approximately one-fourth of a million dollars this year. The dredge here is owned by the New York Alaska Gold Dredging com. pany.
 MT. Spach emphasized the assis- tance given to gold operators by recently constructed roads that made freighting less expensive and air fields throughout this area that bring remote camps nearer to cen ters of population.

KUSK0KWIM J 1c >
 $1, ,250,0OO e-e T--I5 GEAS0N

Placer miners in the Kuskokwim have just closed a season yielding $1,250,000 in gold recovery, ac- cording Ito an interview in a recent Anchorage Times with Fred J. Spach, in charge of the Alaska Road Commission operations in that area.
 Reviewing mining operations in the vast Kuskokwim area, between the Alaska Range and the Yukon and from a line extending west of Lake Minchumina through Poor man to the Yukon river and thence to the coast Spach gives full picture of the seasons work. Con densed his report follows:
 Takotna District
 Three dredges operated adjacent to the Alaska Road Commission branch extending from the Takot- na-Ophir road to Canes creek, re- porting successful seasons are the Waino Puntila dredge, the Canes Creek dredge and the Felder-Gale dredge on the upper Yankee creek. Another branch road from this highway services Puntilas Little Creek dredge, and Nels Vibe who has been engaged in hydraulic operations on Little creek for many years, with good success.
 Victor Hill and Eric Hard are other successful hydraulic miners in this vicinity.
 John Beaton, for many years a successful operator in the Flat sec- tion is entering the Takotna district with a dragline planned for exten- sive operations on Yankee creek.
 Poorman is coming into the front again, no doubt due to the high price of gold. Here there are at least 100 miners working. This ground is about 65 feet deep to bedrock.
 Cripple Creek Busy
 Cripple creek, a tributary of the Innoko, has made a good showing this season. Dave Strandberg, Hard and Wilson have all had good sea- sons, and Spach declares that the Innoko with its tributaries has hardly been scratched and should offer a good field for prospectors

NEARLY ONE-sIXTH OF US.
 FOUND ON RELIEF ROLLS

WASHINGTON, Dec = Nearly one-sixth of the population of the United States is on relief rolls.
 Federal figures show that fami- lies are exhausting savings and turning to relief agencies faster than industry and public works cut into the ranks of the unemployed
 The gravity of the situation was driven home to the administration by the latest official figures those for September. Tn that month 18,0O0,000 were on relief and s143,- 000,000 of public funds was spent to support them. In September, 1883, the relief population number ed 13.33S,00O and relief eXpendi- lures were $59,OOO,0O0.
 Cold weather d dwindling funds have brought added problems in recent months.
 The government has spent $1,- 121, 100000 on civil works this year, but relief officials frankly are dissatisfied over the amount of re- lief provided by these funds. More than half of the destitute unem- ployed still are dependent on out right doles. Two million bread winners have work relief jobs, but their earning average is only $9.87 each in a recent typical week
 Average $24.00 Monthly
 The average family on relief re- ceives about SPA month. Pay ments vary widely in different sec tions, depending on living costs and the contributions made by state and local governments.

North America has known three
temperature cycles during the past
10000 years since the retreat of the
last glaciers, it is indicated by tenn
perature gradient measurements at the
Calumet copper mines, which have
Just been reported here.
Temperature increases with depth.
If the surface of the earth were at
the freezing point this increase would
be perfectly regular. If the surface
is heated the normal increase is dis
torted. BY study of distortions of the
gradient some idea can be had Of
what has happened on the surface
over a long period.
From these measurements 1t appears
that Immediately after the retreat of
the ice there was warm period when
the average temperature of the earth's
surface was 10 degrees centigrade
This lasted for 10000 years. 1t was
followed by a cold period with an
average temperature of degrees CEN
tigrade, which lasted for 5000 years.
The average at present is nearly 7
degrees, which has been the case for
approximately 1000 years.

vantage of 50, 900, 900 Spent

the tracks of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad.
The bridge is a ramshackle wooden
trestle, now in such bad condition
that it Is limited to a 2-ton load with
q speed of 5 miles per hour. This
item was not in the budget, but was

town F, G and Seventh streets will be
taken up with the District Commits
sioners by Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer as a result Of a confer
ence yesterday afternoon in his Office
with representatives of merchants on
those three thoroughfares.
Vigorous opposition to the proposal
was expressed by the merchants, who
contended they would suffer great
losses in business If such a plan was
placed in effect.
Opposes Adoption Rush.
Frank R. Jelleff. spokesman for the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
ciation, told the traffic director no
plan should be rushed into adoption.
He suggested that perhaps it would be
better to try out the no parking re-
striction during the rush hours only,
holding that there is not enough
traffic between 9 am. and pm. to
warrant an all-day ban.
Other merchants suggested parking
be banned on one side of the affected
streets as an experiment.
Something must be done," said
Van Duzer after the meeting. Il in
