The numerous reports from . the
White river valley that water has
been struck on many creeks where
men have been sinking should not
dampen the ardor of the genuine
prospector, says the Dawson News.
The fact prospects were found on the
rim on several creeks, and the pres
ence of gold detected in small quan
tities in many localities, indicates that
the White is not outside the great
northern gold belt. Somewhere in that
vast valley must be gold in quanti
ties worth reclaiming.

The Chitina Leader has it all fig
ured out that a true booster is one
who boosts for the community in
which he lives, but in Alaska true
booster is one who boosts for all Alas
ka. Our needs are practically all the
same. Our particular location will
have something to do with our par
ticularizing in boosting. To one in
terested in Alaska, he should boost for
his home community first, then if an
other community should receive the
coveted prize, his boosting should not
wane, for what benefits one commun
ity will ultimately benefit the entire
community.—Douglas News.
