THANKS TO THE GAME COMMISSION. The Alaska Game Commission is entitled to the thanks of the people of Southeast Alaska for its action in recommending the withdrawal of protec- tion from bears in this section. Let us hope the recommendation may be carried into a regulation. Then let the slaughter begin. In Southeast Alaska as both a nuisance and a menace. They destroy food caches, game animals and fish and they menace people. People who go into the woods are becom- ing too numerous to tolerate the menace longer. Even for sportsmen the balance is against the bears. Most of the sportsmen in Southeast Alaska are fishermen and bird hunters, and the bears are as menacing to them as they are to those engaged in other activities. least the bears are ADVENTURE WITH US YET. Adventure, single handed and romantic under conditions where nerves of steel were all that sep- arated life and death, did not disappear with Daniel Boone midst murderous savages in the wilds of Kentucky, or with Kit Carson in Colorado. It did not end with the old frontier, nor is it con- fined now to the dark corners and out-of-the-ways spots of the world. Witness: The other day the New York Herald Tribune contained two news items. One was an Associated Press dispatch dated out of Pittsburgh, which said: Tucking his mail-bag under his arm, \Harry Sievers, pilot ‘of: the Pittsburgh-Cleve- land air-mail route, leaped in his para- chute 1,000 feet to safety as his plane crashed in a field near Beaver Falls early today. Sievers was flying from Beattis Field, here, to Cleveland, when his motors stopped. Seizing the one bag of mail, he Jeaped. The plane was demolished. Sievers took the mail to the Post Office in Beaver Falls and arrangements were made to trans- fer it to another plane. The other was the following special dispatch dated out of Freeport, Long Island: Failing to right a Vought-Corsair airplane from a tailspin after it had dropped 5,000 feet, Lieut. John Seligman leaped in a paracute 3,000 feet to safety this afternopn, landing on John Drinkwater's estate. The plane crashed into the Airport Dairy Farm, three miles away, burying its nose in the ground. Lieutenant Seligman wrenched his ankle slightly in clambering from the cock- pit of the falling plane, but suffered no other injuries. * * * Before he jumped he tied the stick in an upright position so that the plane would continue its spin. The pilot hoped thus to decrease the speed of the fall and minimize the damage to the $40,- 000 plane. While plunging to earth from a great heighth in the air at terrific speed, one of these men seized his mail bag before he jummped off into space and the other tied his stick so the plane would not be too badly used.

The recent important mineral discoveries along the Internatinoal Boundary in the Taku River Dis- trict. adjacent to Juneau. again call the attention of prospectors and mining men to the fact that; responsible mining organizations are constantly seek- ing new properties and that they are willing to pay a good price for prospects which will measure up to their requirements. It alse calls attention to the fact that Alaska offers one of the best prospecting areas on the continent. There is no substitute for the prospector’s pick jand shovel, yet the prospector who goes into an | | rudimentary knowledge of geology; he should be able to recognize the different formations and know the habits of ore occurence in these formations as recorded from experience in other mining dis- tricts; ' he should know enough about the origin of ore deposits so as to confine his efforts to fav- orable areas. A skilful prospector should be able recognize from thirty’ to fifty of the more common minerals at sight and he should also be able to use a blowpipe to test the unknown minerals which he finds. | The ability to make rough compass surveys is helpful for laying out claims and more particu- larly, for keeping a map of underground develop- ment, thus avoiding the costly errors which beset ! those who drive tunnels blindly. A valuable mineral deposit may be discovered which is too small to interest the larger organizations but has sufficient tonnage for indi- vidual or small company operations. Such a mine usually lacks technical guidance and costly mistakes may be made in the selection of mining equipment, or more often, improper and unsatisfactory milling | equipment may be installed. The small mine uper-‘ ator should be familiar with the working prin- ciples of the various processes of ore concentration and should know something about the type of mining and milling equipment best suited to his particular problem. There are small operators in Alaska today who have a good working knowledge of this material but they have gained this by | individual experience and in many instances they have profited from costly mistakes. It is true that knowledge gained in this manner is not read- ily forgotten but the price is high. The Mining Short Course offered by the Alaska mining College is not intended to substitute completely for practical experience; rather it is planned to make more effective the work of the individual men who are pioneering the mineral development the Territory. Those who take the Short Courw training find that it answers many of their problems—problems along the lines of those men- | tioned above—and if every prospector, whether he ls golng into the Taku River District or whether is exploring for mineral deposits in an un- hemlded country, had the advantage of the Short Course training, then the mineral development of the Territory would be more rapid. At this time it is possible to touch only a few of the high points of the Short Course. The School of Mines laboratories are most modernly equipped and this laboratory equipment is avail- able to the Short Course men so that they may secure their training from a practical standpoint. There are two Short Courses offered each year; each extends over a period of ten weeks. The first course January 27. The prospectors are invited to ship in test lots of their own ores for testing purposes during the course. starts October 28 and the second We notice in Territorial papers running weather reports from all sections of Alaska that practically all places are listed but not Seward.
