JOSLIN BELIEVES TOLOVANA
HAS A BRIGHT PCftlR®
After making a complete examin
ation of the Tolovana district, Falcon
Joslin, president of the Tanana Val
ley railroad, thinks that the new
diggings will surely make a good
small camp, and possibly, even prob
ably a large one. 1\Uiile Livingood
looks good today, the future of the
district depends upon Mike Hess
creek, he thinks, and as the prospects
there look better than ever, indica
tions are that the future of a big
camp is assured.
While Investigating conditions
along Mike Hess creek he saw pans
taken from below bedrock on 7 above
which averaged about a cent to the
pan. On top of bedrock, pans that
ran from IB to 20 cents each were
taken out.
Many of the good mining men of
the district are now turning their at
tention to Mike Hess creek, and there
has been a constant stampede on for
several weeks.
On Livengood creek, the only new
report within the last few weeks was
the striking of pay on the bench op
posite 3 above. Ben Peterson and
Nelson are working the ground, and
they report that their pay will run
15 cents to the pan.
Telegraph Station.
The new radio station erected in
the tolovana by Mr. Joslin is now
copying messages transmitted be
tween the Fairbanks and Circle wire
less stations, but to date Mr. Stev
ens, the man in charge of the Tolo
vana plant, has not been able to ad
just the apparatus so that it can
transmit messages. It is expected
that he will have it working within
the next few days, however, at which
time business will be taken up with
Fairbanks.
, The rates between Fairbanks and
the Tolovana will be $2.50 for ten
words, or any number of words less
than ten, and 2B cents per word for
each word over ten. Of this, the gov
, ernment will get 50 cents for the first
i ten words, and five cents per word
for all over ten.—Fairbanks Times.

JOE MERINGER
GROWS BIG POTATOES.
Any person who doubts the possi
bilities of the Valdez district to be
come self-sustaining in so far as fresh
vegetables are concerned will quickly
become convinced of their error by
gazing into the window of the f.ove
Whltley butcher shop, where home
grown Irish spuds weighing nearly
two pounds each are on display. The
potatoes were grown in the garden
of Jos. Dieringer.and without a blem
ish. Cauliflower is also shown which
weigh between five and six pounds,
and celery stalks 15 inches long, pure
white and deliciously crisp. Mr.
Whitley is also showing sunflower
stalks which reach to the nine-foot
celling which grew in the garden of
Mrs. Rucker.
Valdez should have held an agri
cultural fair similar to those of Skag
way and Fairbanks in order that the
public might judge for themselves of
the productiveness of the Valdez soil.
FOR SALE—-Cheap, table and chairs
Mrs. Blackwell, Gilson House. tf
A. Ammann and wife, who have
been developing valuable copper
properties in the interior in the Kot
zina district, returned to Valdez yes
terday afternoon. Mr. Ammann has
been passing into the interior each
spring for several years, and Mrs.
Ammann always accompanies him.
She is typical of the superior class
of women who are pioneering ,Alaska
by prefering to share the hardships
of their husbands in their efforts to
develop the resources of the Terri
tory.

Robert Wiley, one of the best
known mining men in the north, who
has spent several days in Valdez, will
be an outgoing passenger on the Ad
miral Evans for the states. Mr.
Wiley is one of the first white men
to be attracted to the head of the
White river mineral belt and has sev
eral valuable copper claims in that
district patented. Lack of transpor
tation is the only thing which pre
vents that district from becoming a
big producer of the metal which is
now in such big demand.

The After-Hours
Salesman
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowds on die streets in the
evening. On the other hand, many other concerns pros
per because they employ the after-hours salesman—Elec
tric Light. You can readily pick out these stores on the
busiest thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
brilliant flood of light upward, outward and downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not
obtainable in any other way. Few people can resist a
glance at the beautiful effect—most people stop and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are well versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel
oping trade. They know that the lavish use of electric
light pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
