fox skins on the lower Yukon
last week A fine of $200 is at
tached to the taking of unprime

as the trader was innocent o£ in
tent to evade the law.
News has reached Anchorage

'I'll ore is reported to be fifteen

Thc development of the new
Yolovana camp is proving a great
1 ommercial boon to the mer*
< hants of Fairbanks. The resi -
lents of the interior town be
lieve that Fairbanks will be the
iinland supply center and as it
will be connected by the govern
mnt railroad to the coast, that it
cannot help but become a large
city.
James Gunn was killed and
William Smith badly injured by
an accident recently in the Mex
’ can mine at Treadwell, Gunn
was employed in tht, mine and
was showing Smith through the
workings when the foreman met
them and asked them for their
permit to go underground. They
had none but went down with a
carload of miners and had not
been in the mine ten minutes
when a rock fell, crushing Gunn
and injuring Smith
When Judge Bunnell, of hair
banks 'opened court recently, lie
announced that there would be
no court crier, as he had decided
to do away with that function
ary. Tile judge said that the
court crier is an antiquated cus
tom not in general use in the
courts, and he had decided that
his court should be up to date.
If however, it was found neces
sary to have a court crier the
work would fall to the lot of
some of the deput\ marshals.
When the steamer Alaska ar -
rived at Ketchikan on her south
bound trip last week, the author
ites were notified that a woman,
Miss Viola Allen, who took pas
sage for the south at Cordova,

who was aboard, it was decided
that the unfortunate should be
taken off and under the advice
of (Jr. Storey, tile United States
deputy marshal took charge of
her. The officials of the boat
feared that she might jump over
board
The governor’s office has is
sued a shipping license for one
brown bear skin to I R Van
Campon, of Latoucho. The skin
i will be sent to George Horace
Lorimer, editor of the Saturday
Evening l’o.st, in Philadelphia, in
which magazine a number of ar"
tides written by Mrs. Van Cain
pen have appeared from time to
time.
I lie Juneau dealers in gaso~
'itic have advanced the price of
'|hq -fluid to twenty cents per
gallon, and report that the price
mat go higher. Gasoline re
cently sold in the eastern mar
kets for 8 cents per gallon re
tail, hut is now higher, and there
is talk of congressional investi
gation as to the cause. The fish
ing fleet of southeastern Alaska
use an enormous quantity of
gasoline and the increased ex
pense of operating is working a
hardship on the fishermen.
COL. EXPECTS
BOOM IN METAL
PRICES
\\ ith the opening of tile spring
season, Colorado expects to ex
perience a big boom in mining.
High prices in all metals and
ores and t!he falling oft" in im
ports of minerals clue to the Eu
ropean war is already showing
its effects in record activity
among Colorado’s mining camps.
Hie tungsten fields of Boulder
county remind old timers of the
arly days in Cripple Creek and
Leadvillc. Fortunes have been
mad in the tungsten fields and
the increase demand for this ore
for hardening tools promises
continued prosperity. Zinc,
which doubled its output last
vear, is keeping up its record
production. Good prices for sil
ver has resulted in a renewed in
terest iti tSiat metal. Experts
predict a big rise in the price of
silver at thc close of the war,
based on the belligerent’s great
need of silver for a medium of
exchange since America is in
possession of a large part of the
world’s gold supply. Gold pro
Hiction continues to show re
markable powers in Colorado.
Rich strikes on old properties
are l're<|iienty reported. Experts

Advertising I
Not An Expense
i
Advertising Is An
INVfSTM VI
Not an Expense, and Should be
Treated as Such
Because it has been the habit
nl some merchants to look upon
it as an expense, A WRONG
VIEW HAS BEEN GAINED.
Perhaps the misconception arose
from the fact that in hookkeep
ing it has been the habit to
charge advertising to expense.

I
Only the man who looks upon
advertising as an expense, who I
is afraid of it, prejudiced against
it, loses money in advertising.
The man who treats advertis- .
ing as an investment and gives it
the attention an investment re
quires- knows that every dollar
■ rightly invested in this direc
tion yields compound interest
and more
