MOTHER LODE TO
BE FOUND HERE
One of the geologists who indicated
the probability of rich placer deposits
in the Klondike before the discoveries
were made, said that the mother lode
of silver was in Mexico, and he believed
the mother lode of gold would be found
in Alaska.
Ho predicted that ultimately Alaska
would b* the greatest of all gold-pro
ducing countries, as Mexico has been
the greatest of silver producers. So
far gold has boon found in every part
of the territory which has been ex
plored. Such an extensive area of gold
bearing gravels is unequalled in any
other portion of the globe.

FLAT REPORTED
The Iditarod Fioneer is given
to understand that one of the
most important deals which the
Yukon Gold Co. has yet made is
to be put through today, when,
for the sum of $106,000 cash, the
big company will acquire the fol
lowing properties:
All of the interests of the
Lucky Nine mining company,
including all of lb. Glen, half
of 5-b. and practically half of
the Mohawk association, and mis
cellaneous interests on Black and
other creeks;
S rddon & McKinnon's half in
terest in the Mohawk;
The Wildcat interests in 3-b.
and the half interest of Gregg
Stewart, G. W. Albrecht and J.
W. Duncan in the same claim.
GRIFFIS TO BRING MAIL
In a letter to Dick Button Bob
Griffis said that he would be over
with the mail as soou as he could
travel with the dogs. At the time
the letter was written (September
21) Griffis was at Diskaket, and
about to lgave for Nulato for the
first batch of winter mail. It is
probable that he left Diskaket last
Wednesday or Thursday, iu which
event he should arrive here about
Monday.
Mr. Griffis said that he expected
quite a lot of travel through Dis
kaket this winter, both on account
of the Ruby camp and the strike at
Cripple creek, on the Innoko, to
say nothing of the travel between
I the Iditarod and Yukonriver
points. Passengers traveling over
land from Nome to Ruby pass
through Diskaket in order to hit
the Lewis trail —finding that route
a day shorter than following the
c trves along the Yukon.
SAM’L BROUGHT TO TIME AT LAST
That one must advertise when h» has
something good to offer to the public is
conclusively shown by Satn Apple
bauru's ad. in this issue. Mr. Apple
baum has persistently refused to adver
tise, claiming that he could do business
on his own merits. Someone, though,
has called his attention to the fact that
he and lots of others never knew that
he was in business—never having seen
anything to that effect in the Iditarod
Pioneer. Hence Applebaum’s ad. in
this issue._

CANDIDACY AND PLATFORM
Fairbanks, October 25.—Thomas A. McGowan has announced

and this section, which will give him a large vote.

If elected Mr. McGowan promises that he will fight earnestly
to open the coal lands and for the construction of railroads to
aid in the development of the country. Ho will tight against all
territorial taxation and ask the federal government to pay all ex
penses of territorial government. He favors a lien law that pro.
tects labor and is fair to the operator.

exhausting all ingenuity in condemning opposition and praising their own. i
WE shall, however, incessantly prosecute the slaughtering cam- <

removed. Matters not who our next President will be, or of what party, <

HARDWARE IAN FALLS
FROM ROOF OF STORE I
Some men are born lucky, and the j
most unfortunate of us have cause often ^
to thank ourselves that matters are no
worse. Such a man is Henry O. Roden,
of Smith's gun store. Mr. Roden had
some business on the roof of the big
store last Sunday, and, being unpro
vided with wings, proceeded to make
the ascent with the aid of a ladder. He \
had reached the height of his ambition,
and was about to step forth and survey
the landscape, when the ladder slipped
and Mr. Reden was thrown to the
ground—a distance of about 14 feet.
Now had lie been a small man he would
have turned over several times before
reaching his objective point, and then
would have landed probably on his
head and broken his neck. But Honry
is a man of inches, so he naturally fell
on his feet, sustaining only a bad
sprain in the right ankle, He is now
on crutches, but cheerfully tells in
quirers "It might have been worse.”
Which is quite true; as we have indi
cated.

1910. _
