! -
j Traveling 2,800 miles by plane,
' exclusive of other modes of trans
! portation, covering a seven weeks
period, Anthony E. Karnes, Com
missioner of Education of Alaska,
! is in the city from the Interior en
; route to his Juneau headquarters.
Aside from an exceptionally in
; tercsting trip, the school executive
found practically all branches of
the Territorial school system func
tioning satisfactorily. It is estimat
ed there are approximately 1,700
native children enrolled and 3,800
white children; 270 teachers are
instructing them.
For the biennium (2 years) the
last Legislature appropriated $550.
000 for schools in incorporated cit
ies, but later, a $25,000 cut was
made. The sum of $220,000 for ru
ral schools was also appropriated
but $85,000 was lopped off. In addi
tion to these amounts $30,000 for
buildings was allowed to be dis
bursed at the discretion of the Ter
i ritorial Board which meets twice
each year; the next meeting will
be held at Juneau during the sec
i ond week of March.
At that meeting, Commissioner
Karnes said, he intends to recom
mend to the Board the removal of
I the abandoned Woodrow school
j building to Moose Pass. Temporar
ily, he believes, such a building
will suffice, but is certain that with
the present outlook for the Moose
Pass school district, it may prove
inadequate in a few years. At the
present time one of the Bureau of
Public Roads camp buildings is
being utilized for a school room.
The Seward public school and
the Mission school appear to be
functioning extraordinarily well,
Mr. Karnes said, and both have a
splendid corps of teachers. Efforts
are being made, he continued, to
have Seward high school accred
ited with the Northwest Association
of Secondary and Higher Schools.
This would permit any ranking lo
cal graduate to enter any college
in five Northwest States, and Alas
ka. without entrance examinations.
Today or tomorrow. Commis
sioner Karnes and P. C. McMullen,
member of the Territorial Board
of Education, planned to make a
brief visit to the Riddiford school,
lower Lake Kenai.

GREAT MINING
REVIVAL SEEN
NEARBY REGION
Systematic exploration will be
carried forward below Canyon
creek on the placer claims of H.
Mellon and Jack Shields beginning
■11 ext spring, according to the
j gentlemen who are in the city to
, day enroute to their homes in Puy
j allup, Wash.
| Messrs. Mellon and Shields have
spent the greater portion of the
past season in the Moose Pass
j Hope-Sunrise district and are en
I thused, not only with their own
holdings, but with the outlook in
general for the entire area which.,
they are confident, will envelop
into a major mining camp in the
next few years. They fully expect
to see many new and old proper- *
ties opened next spring and ever,
i this fall may witness the arrival
cf many mining men and investors.
Judge Mellon, during his more
than 20 years permanent residency
m the Northland—he first came to
Alaska nearly 40 years ago—and
more than 80 trips to the Terri
: tory, and who is known to all old
! timers, speaks from a vast store
I house of past experience in stating
j this mining district 29 miles from
j Seward is on the threshold of a
| definite gold mining trend. Nat
urally, he said, part of this activi
ty and influx will be because of the
advance in gold price but on the
other hand, he has made a two
I year reconnaisance of the entire
district and it is on the results of
j that study he bases his prediction
Mr. Shields, young Puyallup bus
iness man, admits this is first first
offense; his first trip to Alaska
“But try and keep me away from
now on,” he ejaculated “Further
more, I have been talking Alaska
so much to Mrs. Shields that she
too desires to come North and see
for herself whether or no I have
been peddling a lot of balogna.”
j During their stay in the city, the
j mining men are guests at the Sew
ard hotel.
