LOCAL SCHOOLS
WILL NOLI CLOSE
In an interesting interview with
Mayor J. G. Watts this morning in re
gard to the status of the financial con
dition of the Anchorage public schools,
the mayor said: “There is absolutely
no cause for the people of Anchorage
to worry about the matter. The school
will continue in the same satisfactory
manner as heretofore and we hope
to move into the new school house
soon after the holidays.
“From the fact that the territory
has made no financial provisions for
our schools the Alaskan Engineering
Commission was instructed to care for
the maintenance and salaries tempor
arily, which we have done. Commis
sioner Mears is in Washington now
and will meet Goverrpr Strong and
Chairman Edes and thresh the matter
out with the proper officials. It is ab
surb for anyone to imagine that the
government would neglect anything
so important as public schools in its
first town. I am confident that perma
nent arrangements will be made at
this meeting that will settle the ques
tion once and for all that will guaran
tee adequate school facilities for An
chorage.”

Jesse Garver came down from the
headquarters camp of the Blue Quartz
Mining company in the Willow Creek
district yesterday and is stopping with
Jack Curley while in the city.
Jesse made the first big strike in
this district last summer at the head
of Peterson creek and is connected
with Stewart Maxwell and several
other prominent people of Anchorage
in the property. At present they are
getting out mining timbers, building
cabins and preparing for active devel
opment work next spring. Mr. Gar
ver is in charge of the work and says
it is the intention of the company to
apply their efforts in blocking out and
getting ore on the ground before they
install the stamp mills.
The strike on the Jesse B. claim last
summer caused considerable excite
ment- and the company own some of
the most likely looking property in the
Willow creek district. Mr. Garver will
spend several days in Anchorage on
business connected with the company
before returning to headquarters camp
to continue the winter work.
Horace Emery, connected with the
Eska Creek Coal company,came down
from the mine yesterday afternoon
and will remain in the city until Fri
day morning. The first shipment from
the Eska creek mine, consisting of 25
tons, was unloaded at the depot this ,
morning and was sold before noon j
through the agency of McNally &!
Maitland.
Mr. Emery reports that the 650-foot
spur has been finished and that he has
a force of men working on the new
bunkers and 20 men working in the1
mines. When everything gets shaped
around on a regular working basis, Mr.,
Emery says they expect to mine 120
tons of coal a day. Later the company
will build comfortable bunk houses,!
equipped with shower baths for the j
miners.
With the Martin-Peterson wrestling
match and the basket ball game be
tween the City and Commission for

and this match will be an added at
traction to the big match.
When it comes to dope on Martin
and Peterson the fans are divided.
Both men have been seen in action |
here and each has his followers who
are backing their favorite. The match ,
is the talk of the town, and Robarts
hall will be packed Christmas Day to
witness the best match ever pulled
off in Alaska.
The members of the City basket ball
team will have their initial practice J
game tomorrow night at Moose hall,:
and the Commission team is being
rounded into shape for the New Year’s 1
Day game.
John J. Grady, who is well known
