Legislature denied our request Tor sufficient funds to enable us to extend the field services al Nome during the coming bien- mum. Nevertheless it is my in- tention to have Assayer Shallit undertake as much field work as can be attempted without detri- Iment to his regular assaying work.
 Ut will be necessary for you to take up with Dr. Bunnell the matter of winter school instruc- tion for prospectors such as that conducted by MT. Shallit last year. Such instruction is carried on by the University with funds appropriated to them for the purpose and the teaching pro- gram is outlined and arranged for by Dr. Bunnell. The program that was undertaken by Shallit last year was arranged by my granting him leave of absence for the necessary period during which time his salary was paid by the University. It is possible that similar arrangement might be made during the coming year. I shall be glad 10 be helpfgll iI1n that regard if circumstanees are favorable,
 At the present time MT. Shal- lit is assigned to the assay office at College during the absence of Mir. Burns, the regular assayer there, who is absent on an ex- tended vacation. MT. Burns is due to return at the end of this month and as soon as he arrives MT. Shallit will go to Nome and reopen. the Assay Office there"
