TO INVESTIGATE STRIKE
From apparently reliable sources
comes the information that a prospec
tive great placer field has been re
vealed by the discovery of gold on Al
fred creek, lying northeast of the Mat
anuska coal tields. The formation of
the region, as told by miners who have
been there and by V. S. Geological
survey report**, is a schist and slate,
known throughout Alaska as the gold
bearing rocks of placer tields.
Should this >trike prove up, upon
furthei development, i»s importance to
Seward cannot be realized, so poten
tial are th,% possibilities. 1 his town
j* the logical gateway to the new camp
In winter time, especially, when the
greater travel will take place to and
from that district, Seward will be the
coast terminus.
In order to get first hand informa
tion concerning this camp, the Gate
way has a man enroute to the scene,
who will report upon the possibilities
of the camp. If Ids report shall prove
m harmony with the news which
reaches here, and which is most en
couraging, then we shall proceed to
u»e some big, blacK type to attract tbe
attention id prospectors throughout
Alaska, who by the hundredsare seek
ing new* tields of endeavor.
The Gateway will not participate in
advocating any fake stampedes, but if
t he Alfred creek strike is a legitimate
me and the camp offers a field for pros
t,ecu»i., ... shall tell the news through
this broad land. And the Gateway’s
connections are such that it can reach
the uttermost parts of the globe.
And in this proposed campaign, as
suming that the Gateway s reptesenta
live enroute to the scene shall report
favorably, we shall expect the support
of every business man of Seward. \\ e
shall deserve it. The business men
will secure a vast gain in business
through this stampede and they can
well afford to heartily support the
chief agency for the dissemination of
news concerning it. i hat they will
do so we entertain no doubt whatever.
That's why we are willing to stand ti e
initial expense attendant upon learning
reliable news of the new camp.

Aeroplane flying
imposes unforeseen
and trying conditions on a
watch. The aeroplane
vibrates constantly. 11 tilts
at all angles. Often it lands
with a jolt that would ruin
J .1- _- j > »-1
the balance-wheel of many
a watch.
The Wright Brothers had most
unsatisfactory experiences with all
1 the watches they tried in Europe
and America—until they adopted
the HOWARD.
The HOWARD Watch is
the finest practical timepiece in the
world. Its special hard-tempered steel
balance cannot jolt out of true with the
roughest service. The HOWARD ad
justment is permanent.
Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
The price of the HOWARD is fixed
_£40 to $150—and a printed price-ticket
attached. #
t We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you. ^
