WILLOW CREEK MINES
ACTIVE IN PRODUCING
The approach of winter finds
work continuing on a very promis
ing scale in the Willow creek dis
trict, according to reports of ac
tivities which have been received
by the Anchorage Times during
the last week. And there is the
prospect that upwards of 100 men
will have employment in the min
ing belt thruout the winter.
There are three mills grinding
ore at the present time—the
Lucky Shot, Gold Cord and High
Grade — and it is expected that
milling will continue thruout the
winter at the first named proper
ty, where between 75 and 100 men
are now employed- It is under
stood to be the intention of the
lessees of the Gold Cord to do ex
tensive development work during
the winter and there undoubtedly
will continue to Jse considerable
activity at the High Grade camp,
where Herman Kloss and Heinie
Snider are making a fine show
ing.
Mr. and Mrs. C. C- Thorpe have
completed the season’s work on
the Thorpe group of gold quartz
claims on Grubstake Creek; Pad
dy Marion and George Zink are
doing some work on the Kempf
property known as the Gold Top
group; progress is reported at the
Mike Sherry property, where a
tunnel is being driven; the Fern
mine is working a force of nine
men at present and it is expected
that the work will be continued
thruout the winter. Operations
have been suspended at the Mable
mine, it being understood that
the lease has expired

COLLEGE SHIFTS HINTED,
test of nanus
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12. (JP) —A
three-year test which holds possi
bilities of bringing sweeping
changes in student entrance re
quirments of institutions of high
er education is announced by the
University of Southern California.
Seventy graduates of secondary
schools, who are not more than 21
I years old and who do not meet
the set entrance requirements of
the University, will be selected
; for the test, which will begin this
fall, Dr. Frank C. Touton, vice
president said.
“Students in the experimental
group will not be permitted at
any time in their college careers
to compete in inter-collegiate
athletics”, he said
“During the time they are
members of this group they may
not hold membership in campus
clubs or societies or other campus
groups, and may not be pledged
i to a fraternity or sorority.
Specifically the object of the
experiment is “to measure validi
ty of tests of scholastic aptitude
and of high school grades as en
trance criteria for admission to
college”.
The group will be selected by
use of entrance test criteria which
measure scholastic aptitude and
by “personal judgements as to
scholastic promise, one of which
should be from a high school
principal. The test will be con
ducted in the college letters, arts
and sciences.
“The group”, said Dr. Touton,
“will be closely observed and giv
en guidance, based on scientific
studies with the view of develop
i ing. if possible, methods of study
i and work which will increase the
| probability of collegiate success
[ “The 70 entrants will be divided
; into groups of 35 each for instruc
i tional purposes so that significant
I contrasts will be made possible.”
