BOND GIVEN ON A
BROAD PASS PROPERTY
J. C. Van Orsdal, who just return
ed to Fairbanks, after having pros
pected in the Broad Pass country last
summer, reports that section as a
wonderful country. He says there
are immense bodies of low grade ores
there. Of course, the properties are J
quite hard to get to, ami as a result)
of the inaecesibility of the country j
they have not been extensively open-j
ed up. There were between 50 and ,
75 men prospectnig in the country all
last summer, and everyone of them is
satisfied that the country will be a j
big producer in the near future.
One of the properties in the dis
trict, the Riverside, was bonded by a
group of Spokane men. They will *
stock the company this winter and l
next winter will prospect it extensive
ly. Operations will be started on a
fairly large scale, the largest scale j
yet attempted in Broad Pass. The
Wells boys, the discoverers of the dis
trict. still have their holdings and
are well satisfied with them.—Lx.

There’s one rubber
^ boot that has
f “made good’’ in
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
“HIPRESS”
White Boot
“With the Red-Line
’round the Top”
•s . * ^
You know that when a Hoot
:*onies in and simply sweeps the country
like “HIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to
'IIING UNUSUAL —for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Hoot Quality.
White Goodrich “HI PRESS” Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel!
You don’t have to half-sole them with leather —they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
The reason for this unusual service is that HIPRESS are constructed l»>
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned boot. I hey
are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto 1 ires—
welded together under enormous pressure IN'IO ONE SOLID PIECE.
There’s nothing to come apart—they can't leak, peel, crack or split!
They’re comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise that once you start wearing White “HIPRESS” you’ll never be
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there is but ONE 111 PRESS Boot it has
a Red-Line 'round the Top.
DEALERS * If not already stocked on “HIPRESS” write at once for samples and price*.
This is the best selling, best wearing Boot ever put into Alaska.
