Mining Notes
Rome and Nelson, two well known
prospectors around Chitina, are going
to develope a deposit of molybdenum
on the headwaters of the Chitina river
as soon as the weather will permit.
Indications point to the fact that;
Coldstream, in her day one of the;
biggest producing creeks of the Fair-|
banks district, will soon know the j
hum of dredging machinery’. E. B. |
Coll iso ns and A. W. Conradt, Fair
banks mining men, are taking options
on the ground and have interested
outside capital in the venture.
The geological survey calls atten
tion to the substantial accuracy of its
approximate figures concerning the
mineral and other outputs of the
t
country, published promptly on the
first of each year for the year pre- j
ceding. Until u few years ago these
approximate figures were not given
out, and no reports were made until
months after the end ot the year.
The survey prefering to wait for the
complete facts before making public
announcement.
This delay frequently rendered the'
reports of little practical value. Now,
however, there is a prompt announce
ment, and that it is noteworthy that
in all cases it has been very close to
the completed official figures, as as
certained later.
For instance, the survey’s estimate
of the gold output of Alaska for 1915,
published January l, 1916, was less
than 1.2 per cent in excess of the
final figures made public four months
later, and Alaska’s exceptionally j
large yield of copper was 3 per cent.
For the last two years the prelimin
ary estimates of the coal output of j
the United were only about four-!
tenths of 1 per cent and 2.6 per cent
in error; for the more erratic petrol
eum industry the estimates of mar
keted output published January 1
have been within one-half of one per
cent and five per cent of the final
figures; the preliminary estimates of
cement were within three-tenths of j
. - _ ‘
one per cent an<i iour-ienms ui unr
per cent of the actual output.
Fred Wilson. Jim McLeod and
lx)uis Halverson have made a new j
discovery in the Cripple cainp on Slug :
gulch, which runs up the steep side of
Cripple mountain. The first hole they ,
sunk they secured 19 grains of gold j
from ten pans. They crosscut the:
gulch and found pay 50 feet wide. A
hole 150 feet below discovery revealed
good pay. The ground is ten feet
deep with three feet of pay dirt. They i
estimate it to go about $2 to the foot..
The machinery for the mill at the
Cube Mine on Prince William Sound,
has been completely installed. Every-:
thing was found to work in a satis-j
factory manner and the mill was
started grinding out the yelfow metal
from the ore.
Angus McDougall, who is at the
head of the Chitina-Kuskulana Cop-j
per Company, which owns and oper
ates the War Eagle group of twenty
four claims in the Kuskulana dist
rict will make a trip to the states
to purchase new machinery and more
horses, ani reports that during the
coming summer the property will be
opened up on an extensive scale, giv
ing employment to from 300 to 400;
men.

ADVERTISERS,
ATTENTION TO
TRISMASE
ALBANY, Ala.—(Special.)—“You
newspaper publishers are worried a lot
over the increased cost of print paper,
aren’t you?” asked a Second avenue
merchant as he stalked into the office
of a local paper. The answer to his
question was “yes.”
“Well, then, listen. Beginning back
to January 1, 1917,.just increase my
advertising rate 2 cents an inch. That
may help a little.
This merchant is thought to be the
first man in the history of journalism
voluntarily to increase his own a<r
vertising rate. He uses newspaper
space liberally, too. He does so be
cause he says the more he advertises
the greater pecomes the proportion in
increased business.

She Had Nothing on Jones
He says that a friend of his called
Jones had the misfortunte to get in
the way of an automobile driven by :
lady. The friend was taken to a hos
pital, but his injuries were not seri
ous, so he was immediately removed
to the police station, where his assail
ant was being held. And as soon as
Jones g<*t there the lady started in to
impress him with the fact that the
blame for the accident was all his.
“You known, Mr. Jones,” she said,
“you must have been walking very
carelessly. I am a very careful
driver. 1 have been driving a car for
seven years.”
“You've nothing on me, ma’am,”
said Jones, politely. “I’ve been walk
ing for thirty-four years.”
