FORTUNES FROM MINES
The Cande de Valenciana who
discovered one of the richest mines
in Guanajuato, Mexico, derived so
much wealth from it that he is said
to have got rid of $100,000,000 in a
few years. Another Guanajuato
silver king sent the King of Spain
$2,000,000 for a Christmas present.
T. R. McEwen, superintendent of
the Seward schools for the past two
years, is now in Seattle where he
plans to enter business.
Mrs. Lulu Manthey departs for
Latouche tomorrow night on the
S. S. Northwestern where she will
remain for an indefinite period.

Per Capita Expense
Of Current Expensesj
Of Alaska Schools
The following table, compiled by
the Alaska School Bulletin, sets
forth information relative to the
per capita current expenses of
schools in the incorporated cities
and school districts for the school
jvear 1927-28. Per capita current
expenses include all cost with the
exception of expenditures for capi
tal outlay, such as new, buildings
and grounds, new equipment—not
replacements—etc., and other pay
iments such as interest on bonds,
and the like. It will be noted that
there is in general a direct relation
ship between the size of a school
and its cost. The most noteworthy
exception is Charcoal Point. The
low cost of this school may be ex
plained from the fact that no high
school work is offered. Eagle is
, the only other school in which ele
mentary school work only is pre
sented.

The Klondike Has
A Mystery Woman
i
Her name is Lillian Ailing. She
l wears brown khaki overalls a badly
I torn black coat, a man’s heavy rub
ber boot strapped on one foot and
a galosh on the other, the whole
outfit topped off with a faded
brown hat.
And yet there isn’t a sourdough in
all the Yukon Territory or Alaska
who won’t take off his hat to her,
for she only recently completed a
hike from Hazelton, B C., to Daw
son: the gold citv of the Yukon
Territory.
Little is known of Lillian Ailing
in the country to which she came.
And true to the spirit of the sour
dough, no questions are asked. For
Lillian Ailing has proved herself.

Our Proven Service

During the three years we have marketed furs for customers, we have
always obtained higher prices for them than they could get by any other
means. You take no chances when you ask us to sell your furs. The assur
ance of 40 years of honesty and square dealing, which has made Sears,
Roebuck and Co. truly the World’s Largest Store, is behind this free
service just as much as it is behind every sale of merchandise we make.
We Flatly Guarantee You Highest Prices
Please understand we do not buy furs ourselves but simply sell them for
you. What we do it guarantee you highest prices, fair grading, immediate
returns. You receive every penny your furs bring, without delay.

Send us only legally taken furs. We will not knowingly market illegal
shipments. We cannot market tanned furs. Furs will be held separate

hold them if there is danger of spoilage. Remember, we make nothing
selling your furs. All the profit goes to you.
