Hinchinbrook Light Assured.
The PfeosREiTOR is in receipt of a
report of the conference committoo'
on tiie Lighthouse bill, froin Gi W.
Esterly, of Washington, F> C.
In reference to trie Hinchinbrook
light, the report reads: “Amend
ment No. 15) provides for a light
and fog signal station on Caj>e
Hinchinbrook, Alaska, at a cost
not to exceed ITo.OOO. The House!
rceeues from its disagreement with!
an amendment which will leave
the definite location of the light
house to he hereafter fixed by the
Light-House Board and which- in
creases the amount of the author
ization to I 120,000, which sum it
is believed by the House managers
is necessary for the constauction
of t lie light-house proposed.”
The Senate amendment, as final
ly adopted hv the committee is as
follows: In lieu of the language
proposed insert the following:
“A light and fog ^signal
station, Ilinoliinbrook entrance,
Prince William Wound, Alaska, at
a cost not to excceed 1125,000.”
In explanation of the change
from Gape Hinchinbrook to Hinch
inbrook entrance, Mr. Ester
lv states that it was to
allow the Ligbt-IIouse Board, in
its discretion, to construct the
lighthouse directly at or upon
those seal rocks where the greatest
danger lies, though it would cost
very much more. He also states
that the report was .agreed upon
by both the Senate and the House
on June 14th, and now only awaits
the signature of the president to
become a law.
B. F. Millard, of the Galena Bay
Mining Co., came up on the Santa
Clara. He reports that as- devel
opment progresses, the Vesuvius
group of claims is proving to be all
or more than has been claimed for
it. Surveys have been made by
Mr. Millard in Galena and Boulder
bavs with a view to putting in an
aerial tram.

That is 'he question asked by the employer of to-day.
How much salary are you worth—What can you do to
earn it? If you can do one thing well you are in demand
all the time, and are worth from four to ten times as much
as the man of no special ability.
The International Correspondence Schools were founded
and Five Million Dollars have been invested to help men
of no special ability; men who had to leave school early;
men who are earning hut little and who are struggling
against adversity in uncongenial positions.
The 1. C. S. docs this great work by mail at an expense so
small anyone can afford it—the worker neither leaving
home nor losing time. One spare hour each day will do
it. So wonderful has been the success of this system that
a partial record just completed shows the names and ad
dresses of 54,000 students who have actually been bene
fited by the 1. C. S.
Every man ami woman who can read and write is eligible.
To learn how easiiv and quickly you an he helped, indi
cate to us the kind of position you would like.
In return' you will receive without cost or obligation, litera
ture, information and personal advice of the most helpful
character. Isn’t such a promise from such an Institution
worthy of investigation? ■
