GOLD CONTINUES TO GOME
FROM OU) DIGGINGS
FAIRBANKS, April 23.—That sluic
ing has commenced on old Ester creek
is the information received in Fair
banks from Ester cilty. Two outfits are
repotted to be putting their winter
dumps into the sluice boxes, namely,
those that are working on discovery
nnd on No. 2 above. The water is not
running strongly as yet, owing to the
cold nights, but it is expected that
sluicing will be going on full blast
within a few days.
Owing to the fact that M runs to
ward the south and is located so that
the sun can get to the snow on its
benches, starting the water to run
ning, Ester creek Is usually the first
stream to show signs of sluicing in
the spring. And it is living up to its
reputation this year, according to re
ports.
Goldstream is usually the second
stream to show tfigns of gold produc
ing. This year, however, it is reported
to be a little backward, as but a small
quantity of water is running. It is ex
pected, however, that there will be
plenty of water within a few days, and
in anticipation of the flow operators
on Ooldstream are now engaged in
thawing out thief winter dumps, pre
I paratory to slu'ieing. The same con
ditions prevail on Pedro and other
tributaries of Coldstream.
At Chatanika and on Cleary creek
preparations for sluicing are also be
ing made. The quantity of jyater now
(lowing is not sufficient to sluice with,
but it Is expected that one or two days
of warm weather will have the effect
of causing a plentiful supply to flow
through the ditches.
Fairbanks creek Is nearly always
the last to show signs of the sluicing
season owing to the fact that it is
the farthest north stream, and It is no
different this year than usual. The
1 operators on the old creek, however,
are making preparations to start put
ting the gold bearing gravel through
the boxes as soon as possible after the
water starts running.
No slu'ielng Is reported from Pome
creek. It is stated, however, that
water was turned into the boxes on
Vault creek for a while yesterday
afternoon.

Like A Boy at 50 Bubbling Over
With Vitality—Taking Iron Did It'
Doctor says Nuxated Iron is greatest of all strength builders-Often
increases the strength and endurance of delicate, nervousi
folks 200 per cent, in two weeks time.
NEW YOUK. N. Y.—Not long ago u
man came to me who was nearly hall
a century old and asked me to give
him a preliminary examination
tor life insurance. 1 was astonished
to find him with the blood pressure
of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor,
vim and vitality^ as a young man; in
fact a young man he really was not
withstanding his age The secret he
said was taking iron—nuxated iron
had tilled him with renewed life. At
30 he was in bad health; at 40 care
worn and nearly all in. Now at 60 a
miracld. of vitality and his face beam
in with the buoyancy of youth. As i
have said a hundred times over, iron
is the greatest of all strength builders.
If people would only throw away pa
tent medicines and nauseous concoc
tions and take simple nuxated iron, I
am convinced that the lives of thou
sands of persons might be saved, who
now die every year from pneumonia,
grippe, consumption, kidney, liver and
iieart trouble, etc. The real and true
cause which started their diseases was
nothing more nor less than u weak
ened condition brought on by lack of
iron in the blood. Iron is absolutely
necessary to enable your blood to
change food into living tissue. With
out it, no matter how much or what
you eat, your food merely passes
through you without doing you tiny
good, x'en don’t get the strength oat
of it, and as a consequence you be
come weak, pale and sickly looking
just like a plant trying to grow in a
soil deficient in iron. If you are not
strong or well you owe it to yourself
to make the following test: See how
long you can work or how far you
can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five-grain tablets of
ordinary nuxated iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks Then
test your strength and see for your
self how mtlch you have gained. I
have seen dozens of nervous run
down people who were ailing all the
while, double their strength and en
durance and cniivl) get rid of all
symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and
other troubles in from ten to four
teen days time simply by taking iron
in the proper form. And this after they
had in some eases beep doctoring for
months without obtaining any benefit.
But don’t take the old forms of re
duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of
bon simply to save a few cents. You
must take iron in a form that ran be
easily absorbed and assimilated like
nuxated iron if you want it to do you
any good, otherwise it may prove
worse than useless. Many an athlete
or prizefighter has won the day sim
ply because he knew the secret of
great strength and endurance and
filled his blood with iron before he
went into the affray, while many an
other has gone down lo inglorious de
feat simply for the lack of iron -H.
Sauer, M. D.
Note—Nuxated Iron, recommended
above by Dr. Sauer is not a patent
medicine nor secret remedy, but one
which is well known to druggists and
whose iron conslitutents are widely
piescrtbed by eminent physicians
everywhere. Unlike the older inor
ganic iron products, it is easily as
similated, does not injure the teeth, j
make them black, nor upset the stom- ]
ach; on the contrary, it is a most po
tent remedy, in nearly all forms of in
digestion, as well as for nervous, run
down conditions. The manufacturers
have such great confidence in Nuxated
Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00
to any charitable institution if they
cannot take any man or woman under
60 who lacks iron and increase their
strength 200 per cent, or over in four
weeks’ time, provided they have no
serious organic trouble. They also
offer to refund your money if it does
not at least double your strength and
endurance in ten days’ time It is
dispensed in this city by Uomen Bros,
(successors to Butler-Mauro & Co.,)
and ail other druggists.
