A Canadian Plan For Training
 Prospectors And Miners Which
 Alaska Would Do We'll To Adopt

systematically cover selected areas under the guidance of their Instructor who, at the commence ment of work, will take his whole group over the area, in structing them in the methods of systematic traversing and search ing for out-crops, the examina- tion and identificat tion of the rock formations found, and methods of recording their observations. After this preliminary exam ination of the rock formations of the area, the men will go out in pairs each day and systematic ally cover specified part of it. The Instructor will accompany a pair of men each day. Two men will look after the camp and the cooking, while the others pros pect. Rotation of work will pro- vide every man with experience in looking after the camp, as well as in prospecting, and will place him under the personal super Vison of the Instructor for part of the time. In the event that any thing of interest is discover ed during the days work, the In- structor will then take the whole party to that point of interest so that all may study it under his supervision
 The parties in the field will all be under the supervision of a thoroughly trained geologist and the Instructors for each party of ten will be young geologists who have had at least two years of postgraduate study, in addition to their course in mining engin- l eering, as well as several years experience in the field The ob- l ject of this training is to drill the trainees in mineralogy and geology and give them a back ground which, if they prove to be the right type of men, will af- ter a few years experience, make them first-class prospectors
 Commencing the first of June, the base camp wild be operated for four months as a preliminary training ground, whereby 150 young men will receive 2 months training along the lines previous 1 ly outlined for the former opera ton of this camp
 It is proposed to continue the scheme for the next three years, and next year the 50 men sent out on detailed prospecting will likely be chosen from the 150 men to receive preliminary train ing this year.
 The whole scheme depends to great extent on the eoopera- tion of the mining industry. There is no use training a young man to be a prospector unless he receives sufficient encouragement and support to make him one The mining industry, or people directly interested in mining, are the only ones who can give him that encouragement and support once the Government has given

 Dear Sir:
 Enclosed herewith is an article copied from a magazine, THE PROSPECTOR, that may be of interest to you and your readers. The article describes a plan that has been adopted by the Provln cial Government of British Col umbia for the training of needy youths as prospectors and min CTS. In the recent report of the Commissioner of Mines to the Gov. of Alaska reference was made to this plan and the sug- gestion was offered that 1t would be one worthy of consid- eration by the Territorial Leg islature.
 It is suggested that you give this article whatever publicity you deem it merits and which your facilities afford.
 Yours very truly,

 By Dr. John F. Walker,
 Provincial Deputy Minister
 of Mines
 The pan for 1889, now under consideration, is to use the Elm ory Greek camp as preliminary traning base, where two months instruction similar to that car r.ed on in previous years, will be given.
 It is hoped 10 open the camp ocn the first of May with about 75 men, including a number who re ceived preliminary training in previous years. After refresher course of one month (which will also include intensive study of minerals and rocks) fifty trainees will be selected for the advanced course of four months, to be spent in actual prospecting. The fifty trainees selected will be broken up into five groups with an Instructor at the head of each group. It must be remembered that at the time they start on this work they will have had Q fair to good grounding in the practical side of their work in so far as cooking, sharpening steel, and methods of surface working are concerned. The 1 nonths of prospecting will in clude intensive study of rocks and minerals, both in camp and ia the field. The trainees will

she intended to do, but she felt
that she must get away from the
Fenwicks as quickly as possible.
"Oh, good morning, Talbot"
Fenwick greeted her, cordially.
1--WE come to tell you I want to
leave, Mr.. Fenwick," she said. Il
had intended telling Mrs. Fenwick,
but she went out early before I
had a chance. l want to leave
today"
What's the matter, anything
wrong?" Fenwick asked.
Nothing, sir, except that I've
had word, a letter. My mother
back home isn't very well and l
feel that l should go to her."
Too Bad
We'll, that's too bad. I was talk
ing to Mrs. Fenwick about you
only last night. She said your
work had been very satisfactory.
In fact, she said she intended to
give you more money than she had
agreed to at first. Are you sure
you won't reconsider ?"
Jill was puzzled at her employ
er's apparent affability, especially
after her session with him over
the ring, and suspected that there
might be some hidden motive.
Whatever it was. however, she
had no intention of being per-
suaded to change her mind.
I'm sorry. Mr.. Fenwick, but
really must leave today. I hate to
disarrange your household. but I'm
quite sure you will be able to get
someone else as capable as I am.
I'll stay until the rooms are done,
which will be about one o'clock,
and leave then"
Several Minutes
Fenwick continued urging her to
stay for several minutes, trying
to pin her definitely down to a
promise to stay out the week. any,
way. but the girl was obdurate and
insisted on leaving, so he finally
gave in.
I'll make out your check N.Y.

quickly walked from the room. As

low tone to Rothbury. Make ar

Fenwick went on, "and | want re-
ports at least three times a day

The secretary spoke into the
telephone in a low tone. and in a
few minutes hung up again.
When Jill, her suitcase in her
hand, left the Fenwick grounds at

A JUNEAU CHRISTMAS STORY

Human nature is a pretty safe thing to put your trust in, especially at Christmas time.
 One who has this lesson demonstrated anew is Darrell Nash Alaska Game Commission employee
 Last fall Darrell was trapsng through the woods adjoining the Glacier Highway when he came upon the most perfect little evergreen he ever saw It would have made wonderful Christmas tree in proper season which still some months away So Darrell wrote out little tag Reserved for Darrell Naish' and tied it to the tree there in the forest
 Months passed and Darrell went out Christmas freeing in earnest this week More from curiosity than because he expected to find his tree still standing he followed his pathway of last fall
 The October tree stood untouched, more perfect, more beautiful than Beside it, hardly two axe-handles away pitch oozed from the stump Of a freshly cut tree of the same size Darrell remem- bered the missing tree a of-the-forest ever green by no means comparing with the outstanding tree from which his Reserved for Darrell Naish' tag still fluttered
 There, in the woods where no one would have seen him. an unnamed Alaskan week or so ago cut down a lesser tree and justified for Darrell Naish and all of us continuing faith in human nature especially at Christmas time.

THE GOVERNOR BURNS FEM UP

Governor Gruening has the support and admira- ton of all Alaska in his courageous attack upon the discrimination against employment of Alaskans which has become evident the Sitka and Kodiak naval airbase construction projects.
 In his statement yesterday, the Governor struck directly at the seat of the trouble the buck passing, pettifogging attitude of the contractors, who with one hand pass out news releases saying they will everything possible gain preference for Alaskan workers while with the other hand they pass out jobs to non-residents of the Territory
 The Empire last fall took a firm stand which is exactly that taken by the Governor In a series of editorials this newspaper condemned the very discriminatons which the Governor has taken it upon himself to abolish That the Governor will be able to bring about a speedy change in these undesirable conditions, those of us who have seen him in action since he took office have doubt. He is carrying his recommendations in person directly to the Acting Secretary of the Navy at Washington.
 Governor Gruening his trip to Stka into exactly the condition which we have found to prevail on the naval airbase contracts since their start. Lots of workers are being brought up from the States for the jobs Too few are being drawn from find out why. Representatives of the contractors, inferring the Navy is to blame, are only too glad to send you to talk it over with the Navy De- partment the unions or anybody except themselves.
 That there will be some fast and embarrassed talking is certain. The Governor burned 'em up" as you'll hear Alaskans saying today on the street corners
 More power to Governor Gruening, and more

TUESDAY. DECEMBER 26

Mixed planetary influences are active today. In the early morning business men may be exacting and difficult to please. The rule of the stars stimulates the desire to dom- mate or to dictate. Fathers may be critic a l, employers unreasonable. There is an aspect which encour- ages polite deceit.
 Heart and Home: The stars pre- sage a sense of weariness and even apprehension as the mind glances backward over the year and then attempts to vision the future. There should be quiet hospitalities and re- creations that encourage merriment a n d light-heartciness. women should avoid extremes.
 Business Affairs: This will be a dull day with only lethargic in- terest in shops or offices. It is good for planning future enterprises as the stars promise stimulation of in- dustry.
 National Issues: United States commerce may be seriously affected as the winter advances. Neutrality laws will be variously interpreted and difficulties will arise in regard to certain exports. Loss of shipping will cause international incidents that are embarrassing.
 International Affairs: Chinese military leaders will prove their abil- ity Tn original ways as they lure the Japanese armies todyard inland

 It may be no more than mere coincidence that announcement is made precisely at this time that Soviet Russia has declined the invitation sent some months ago to participate in the Worlds Far o1 194O If so it is a fortunate coincidence After the events of the last few weeks the Government of Russia would be an unwanted and unwecome guest at an exposition undertaken in spirit Of mutual confidence and goodwill. If there is to be a display of Russian art on Flushing Meadows, let it take the form of exhibition by the Films and Poles of the work done in blood -drenched streets and ruined homes by Government that bombs unprotected villages and open towns.
 In Finland, as in Poland, it is evident that under the red star of Russia and revolution march together On the initiative of the Soviets, peoples Government has been formed at Terijoki for the purpose of overthrowing the new Finnish Cabinet, seizing the capital and concluding treaty with Russia Drastic economic changes" including con- fiscation private property, are to be undertaken by this Government soon as it is brought to power with the overwhelming might of Russian arms Already we are being told, as we were told in the case of conquered and dismembered Poland that the change now being wrought under the force of alien arms represents the real wish of the great mass of the Finnish peopea palpable lie in view of the fact that Finland has lived under democratic system in which the Government in power has been chosen by the free will of the people.
 The elaborate hoax to which massacre was the prelude will deceive no one in this country who does not wish to be deceived. The overwhelming opinion of the American people this matter of the destruc ton of brave little nation was stated yesterday by MT Roosevelt in as sharp a rebuke has ever been given by an American President to the Govern ment of a supposedly friendly nation. After their work is done in Finland the Soviets will find, among other things that they have earned the lasting distrust and contempt of the American people.
