FLOWERS NOW
Its not necessary to wait for a man to die before you
pass him flowers, and by this we dont mean that we are
making any arrangements with the florist for Tom Bab
cock. He’s a little thinner perhaps, but that’s because he
has been trying to show the world what Nuka Bay means.
Babcock and his partner Dave Downey are proving
what hard work, keen eyes and sticktoitness will do. They
have taken out more than 37 pounds of gold from the
surface of one of their ledges in Nuka Bay, but accord
ing to the rich assay received the other day from the
mining department of the Alaska College, they “aint seen
nothing yet.”
Babcock has mined all over the North dnd knows
his porphyries. He has maintained an abiding faith in
the fact that if he stayed with it long enough he would
make his fortune—and now he has it. If the pay should
pinch out in the next ten feet, the partners have a for
tune in sight, and they are putting a new mill on the
ground to prove that. In fact there is $10,000 laying on
the dump below the little mill they have worn out in the
struggle.
It is to such men that we wish to pay tribute. Tom
and his partner Downev have been ui> against it so
stromr durine' the oust three years that they were about
to throw up their hands in despair. But thev knpw they
had it end staved with it. After vears of hardship they
know thev havp a comfortable homestake and the pride!
of having established a new camp.

Four million Alpina Kiv : Skins,
fcarung being the Malay word for
serpent, were shipped to the United
States in 1928. Serpent leather, es
teemed by the ancient Egyptians for
Us great durability and beauty, has
caught hold in this country. The
new staple has been created within
two years. Introduced first as a fad.
chiefly for women’s shoes, so many
uses have been developed that today
Alpina Karung leather Is being used
extensively in a wonderful variety of
ways, ranging from cigarette lighters
to upholstering the highest grade
furniture and automobiles. The first
order of Alpina rung came to the
United States t . o years ago and was
for one hundred thousand skins.
COARSER GRAINS I
OF ORE YIELD TO ii
MILLFIOTATION.
Tt. has generally been held that J
for the treatment of ores by the i
Potation process, crushing to min- |
us (55 mesh Is required. This was i
r.he sl?e limit of -mins which ex
perience seemed to indicate, when
oils chiefly tT'er'' used. Experimen
tal work at the Moscow Field Of
fice of the United States Bureau of
Mines shows that sands crushed to
not nearly this degree of fineness
can be readily floated. In some of g
the work at that station, as course I
as 20 mesh sands a amenable „o I
flotation. Even course sands that
expose at their surface very small
speck? of the flot-nble mineral may
be lifted.
This bread or-i.o g of the field of
U -fation is due to the development i,
in recent years of the “promoter” I
■-? of reagents. The substances;
so greatly increase the flotative 1 g

ingly larger grains may bo lilted. j B
Flotation is rapidly expanding into ' B

ONE SHOW ONLY AT 8 O’CLOCK
LOIS WILSON
in a fine fast action drama of New York’s
greatest play ground
CONEY ISLAND”
I
A tascinating story of its romance and business
where life is one mad thrill of thrill seeking
throngs who have no time or interest in the
people who serve them.
THE REAL RESORT SHOWN BETTER
THAN EVER BEFORE.
Cameras lashed to the roller coasters give you
the same sensation as though you were aboard.
AY here fortune awaits he who is smart enough
to attract the most people.
One of the great concessions was leased to pro
duce this picture, and real crowds of New York
pleasure seekers have a part in the scenes.
The feature was directed by
RALPH INCE
and concerns the struggle of a young indepen
dent showman against a powerful combine
seeking to control the resort. Two different
kind of girls are mixed up in the plot, making
the play intensely interesting and dramatic.
We are also showing a fine
VAN BIBBER 2-REEL COMEDY
FOUR FACES WEST
making a program full of joy and thrills
CLEAN AND COURTEOUS
Spotless cleanliness is insured; every caution is
exercised not to harm delicate textiles, and
prompt service will ever be our endeavor.
