High grade gold ore and a small
vial of gold dust and small pieces
of the same metal, found by San
tiago Villaneueva, a former Alaska
Juneau mill employee, led to the
uncovering of high grading done
by him that is said to have paid
him better than wages. The Fili
pino was arrested at Ketchikan by
Federal officers on a telegraphic
warrant charging him and another
i Filipino with violating the Alaska
! Bone Dry Law. A search, after he
j had been taken into custody, dis
j closed the gold in his possession.
Questioned by Deputy U. S. Mar
shal W. H. Caswell, Villaneueva is
said to have confessed to his high
grade operations. In addition to
the gold found, he also carried
Postoffice money order receipts for
a considerable sum of money sent
by him to the Philippines. This is
believed to represent some more of
the proceeds of the high grading
during the two years he worked
for the Alaska Juneau. The second
Filipino arrested was Miguel Za
mora, alias Fred Delgado.

Adherents of the Russian Orth
odox Church in Alaska are inter
ested in a decision of the King
County Superior Court in Seattle
| awarding property acquired there
j by the Russion Orthodox Church
when it functioned under the
Czars to the Russian Orthodox
Church as reorganized under the
Soviet government. All Russian
Orthodox institutions in Alaska, of
which there are 12 churches and
75 or 80 chapels, were established
j prior to the Russian revolution.
They contend they are independ
ent of the Soviet-reorganized Rus
sian Orthodox Church and none
of them recognizes Metropolitan
I John Kedrovsky of New York, pri
mate of North America and Arch
bishop-elect Valdimir Alexandrox,
who claim authority and jurisdic
i iton by virtue of the action of a
I “sabor” or ecclestiastical congress,
held in Moscow in 1923, at the dic
; tation, it is declared of the Soviet
j government. Alaska Russian Orth
; odox clergymen will resist any at
! tempts by Metropolitan Kedrovsky
j or Archbishop Alexandrox to pos
| sess or control Russian Orthodox
! Church property in this Territory.

That Alaska is furnishing an in
creasing number of teachers edu
cated in the Territory for her
schools each year, is evident from
a study of the preparation of the
teachers in the Territory for the
past few years. Such a study has
been made by the Territorial De
partment of Education. There are
now more teachers, graduates of
Alaskan high schools, employed in
the Territorial schools than ever
! before. From reports reaching the
! office of the Commissioner of Edu
j cation, several additional Alaska
I students will be available for teach
ing positions during the coming
year.

Miller was a native of Germany.
He migrated to the United States
