SCHOOL COSTS
j TO CITY LESS
THAN FOR 1918
Operations of Public
Schools Here Cost $500
Less than in 1916
(This is the third of a series
of articles on the Juneau Pub
lic School system. The fourth
will appear in tomorrow's issue ,
of The Empire. Ed. Note.)
The operation of the Juneau
Public Schools actually costs the
city of Juneau less today than it
did in 1916. This is due to the
'Territory now refunding 70% of the
cost of operating the local schools
:to the city of Juneau. The total
! amount of funds supplied by the
Mir to operate the local <?chmls
has not Increased with the in
creased enrollment, but is actually
less now than it was In 1916. These
conclusions are evident when the
total funds received from the city
over a long period of years Is com
pared. These figures do net In
clude the redemption of or interest
on bonded indebtedness. This fail
ure to find it necessary to Increase
the school costs to the city is due
| to the refunds received from the
Territory, which have increased to
a maximum of $40,000 per year.
When taxes were raised in Ju
neau a year- ago. many supposed
this was necessary to take care of
the enlarged school. This, however,
was no the case, as will be seen
from the accompanying figures.

city for operation of school:

ALASKA MINING
INDUSTRYGETS
STABLE BASIS
All Branches Gain in Sta
bility in Prosperity,
Says Stewart
(Continued Horn Page One)
meni in the transportation ficid,
Mr. Stewart pointed out. Tills has
been a material factor in better
ment of the mining industry. More
and improved roads and trails, the
airplane for transportation, have
all played an important part.
A charfged attitude by large min
ing groups was seen as another
big factor. Where formerly they
were uninterested in a mere pros
pect on which little or no develop
ment work had been done, today
they are willing to take the raw
prospect and expend funds in ex
ploratory work. He cited the Alas
ka Juneau’s entry into the Taku
River field, and the Kennecott Cop
per Corporation's development of a
copper prospect on the Chlttitu
River as outstanding examples of
this altered viewpoint.
A similar development policy Is
characteristic of the Fairbanks Ex
ploration Company, which is now
engaged in exploring a new area
on the Kobuck River, he said.
Prospectors’ Aid Helps
The financial assistance extended
to prospectors by the Territory has
also been a factor In mineral de
velopment, Mr. Stewart asserted.
The Kobuk placrr strike was made
bv a man who war. able to explore
| the district only on account of the
j financial aid he received from the
Territory. Chick Nelson, discoverer
! of the Chititu prospect now being
i developed by the Kennecott, was
also financed from the same source
And there have been other pros
pects discovered which later may
j develop Into something worthwhile
i If the Prospectors’ Aid Fund con
tinues to bring such results, It will
more than justify its continuance
| lie said.
Reviews Recent Strike
Mr. Stewart revelwed the reports
from the Poorman placer strike.
Pay has been found on two creeks
Wolf and Eeaver. running $6 pet
square foot on bedrock on the
former and between $45 and $50
on the latter, according to letters
! received by him from the district
! All reports received have been fav
orable. If further developments
continue to be encouraging, Mr
Stewart added, an engineer will be
sent there from Fairbanks to make
an official report.
In conclusion, Mr. Stewart said
j it was the aim of his office tc
■ build up an organization that would
keep in close touch with all
j branches of the mining industry
I aid prospectors and operators solve
] their problems, assemble accurate
I data on all prospects and the var
ious fields, and make authentic In
formation available to responsible
individuals and companies desiring
such knowledge.

VON TIRPITZ
PASSES AWAY

Father of Germany’s Sub

(Continued from Page One)
submarine warfare that the United
i States entered the great struggle
and it was for the same. reason
that many other hitherto neutral
nations abandoned their “hands
1 off” policy and threw their influ
ence with the Allies.
That situation was said to have
■ been anticipated by the forfher
Kaiser and some of his closest
advisers, yet the will of von Tirpitz
1 prevailed. In the end there oc
icurred a rupture between the Kai
ser and his naval chief and finally
the resignation of the latter.
Son of Lawyer
Alfred P. Friedrich von Tirpitz
was born March 19, 1849, at Kucs
trln, the son of a local lawyer.
The father, unimpressed with the
prospects for his fcon’s future, plac
ed him on a naval training ship when
he was 18. From that time, 1865,
j until his retirement, von Tirpitz
' ' devoted his entire active life to
j the navy.
'! At 20 he was a Lieutenant and
l four years later a Commander. His
. advancement continued in rapid
succession. By 1890 he had become
Chief of Staff of the Baltic sta
*; tion of the higher command of the
• navy. The next year he was given
. command of the cruiser division
r in the east Asiatic waters.
‘ It was in 1897 that von Tirpitz
> also assumed the post of Secretary
3 of State for the Imperial Navy,
■ | serving as such until his rupture
•; with the Kaiser in 1916, when he
3 resigned. Although the creation
• I of the pre-war German navy gen
erally is attributed to the former
!; Kaiser, it really was von Tirpitz
who was the instigator and orgah
1 izer of it.
5 For Enlarged Navy
1 In his capacity as Secretary of
1 State for the Navy, the Grand Ad
• miral acted as sponsor for the im
5 portant navy bills of 1898, 1900,
■ 1907 and 1912 providing for the

Von Tirpitz was raised to the ;
j rank of Vice-Admiral in 1893 and ,
1 four years later was made an Ad- j i
1 miral. He was knighted in 1900 i,
! and in 1917 was decorated v/ith!
j t he order of the Black Eagle, the
. highest honor to be conferred in;
‘-imperial Germany. His final honor
came in 1911 when he was given
the rank of Grand Admiral.
After his resignation from the
navy, von Tirpitz continued his
i lxiblic activities as a Reichstag
| Depnty of the Nationalist Party, of
which he was made honorary chair -
| man. As such he was one of those
who persuaded the unwilling Mar
shal von Hindenburg to become a
candidate fcr the Presidency of
Germany
Admiral von Tirpitz spent h!s last
years at Feldafing, on the shores
of Starnberger Lake in Bavaria.
There he lived in a comparatively
i small villa, surrounded by a gar
den, and entertained visitors from
all parts of the world. The aged
Admiral was the father of two
sons and two daughters, born of
his happy marriage to Marie Lipke.
