;EES BIG FUTURE
FOG HUDSON BAY
erb Wilson Spent Summer In Far
North and Reports Country is
Heavily Mineralized.
Among the passengers on the Ala
eda this morning en route to the
estward, a number of former Val
'iz residents or persons who are well
lown here. Herb E. Wilson, a prop
•ty owner in Cordova, and who spent
ime time in Valdez three years ago,
making the trip to the westward
i visit his old Fairbanks friend and
irtner, John Ronan, who is mining
f. the Willow creek country.
Mr. Wilson has just returned from
prospecting trip infB the Hudson
ay district, and reports that he met
number of former Yukoners and
laskans who are trying their for
mes in the new country. Among
:her Alaskans, Mr. Wilson met Gene
lien, the mining boom promoter who
>rmerly operated in Valdez. Gene
ad started a paper in LePas, - but
ad encountered opposition when he
ttempted to persuade the traders to
rop their other businesses and put
leir money into mines controlled by
im. The paper is now owned by
ther men, and Gene is back on the
tast.
Mr. wnson Deneves mat me tiua
>n Bay district will in time become
ne of the greatest mining countries
l the world, but at present it lacks
•ansportation. The country is very
ew and affords no soil or gravels,
ut deposits of mineral are every
here. He believes that in two or
tree years that country will experi
nce a great boom, as the Dominion
overnment and the Canadian North
rn are both building roads to the
iudson Bay. The pioneers in the
istrict have failed to appreciate the
lineral resourses and those who have
ttempted to operate have found ex
enses too high, as powder costs |35
box and everything else in propor
ion.
The country is one of magnificent
istances, declares Mr. Wilson, and
le states that the Dominion govern
aent is doing great things to hasten
its development once the rairoad has
been completed. One bridge which
spans Manitou river was built at a
cost,of $2,000,000. There is but lit
tle timber in the country owing to
lack of soil, but the countless lakes
are full of whiteflsli which And a
ready market in the eastern states.
Mr. Wilson also investigated a
number of mining properties on the
lower Stlkine river, which drains
northern British Columbia and enters
the Pacific near Wrangell. He be
lieves that section is also due for a
season of mining activity.
“The Kangaroo” at The Liberty.
Tonight the World Film corpora
tion presents the Kangaroo at the
Liberty Theatre.
“The Kangaroo,” the Terrors of
Old New Orleans, deals with an epi
sode of the slave-holding states, about
1834-1835. An arch conspirator
known as “Shack,” headed a gang
known among themselves as the spec
ulators. This gang recruited repre
sentatives from all over the Southern
States. Their membership included
from the lowest strata of white up
to ministers of the gospel, judges,
sheriffs, and men in high offices,. No
robbery, large or small, was disdain
ed. Slave running also proved very
lucrative. The slaves were induced
to escape from their masters with the
promise to run them North, where
they could secure freedom. Once in
their power the gang would embark
them in boats, dispose of them to
some member of their unscrupulous
band and send them to worse slavery
in the farther south. All this was
criminal enough, but the “Specula
tors” were organized for a far more
terrible purpose, viz., on a given day
(secretly decided upon) the slaves
were to rise against their masters,
and the “Speculators” taking advan
tage of the whites’ attention being
centered on saving their lives and
subjugating the slaves, ,were to loot
all plantations, stores, banks, etc.,
and escape with their booty to Mex
ico. In this film they are shown in
one of their nefarious operations, in
a series of thrilling situations and
scenes teeming with action.
Shown at the Liberty Theatre to
night.
Tonight.
The Liberty Theatre presents its
weekly feature in five acts, “The
Kangaroo.”

The After-Hours
Salesman
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowds on the 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 Maada Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
