FRED M. O’NEILL, Skipper
1 Winter is approaching and the
I children’s school expense will be
higher this year than last. Bill
looks forward to less income in
the regular way. Many industries
have shifted to the “zigzag” p’an
for their employees in an effort
to help everyone thru the winter
This means that each employee
will have about half as much in
come. Prices of clothing and food
have come down some, but not in
J keeping with the “zigzag” income.
There will be just as much coal to
| buy and rent to pay. Bill must
| have more money than he can
expect from his usual sources.
] He has some money in the sav
| ings bank drawing 3 per cent in
I terest. While ’it is true that money
was put there for a “rainy day”
it isn’t bringing him any income
worth mentioning; and $20 or $40
or even $100 of that wouldn’t go
very far on a “rainy day.” He
needs more money coming in.
Bill Jones is the average Amer
ican. He knows that many a man
in exactly his financial condition
! has invested part of his money
land has made enough return to
! give him the added income he
| needed. But Bill knows there is
! some speculation with every in
j vestment, no matter what it is or
j how good it sounds.
He doesn’t know whether he
I should take any chances on either
{his savings account or his present j
; income. Of course his savings ac- j
count is not absolutely safe; he I
realizes more money has been lost
by depositors thru bank failures
during the last 10 years than
thru any single line of investment
other than the stock market crash
in 1929. Being a true American
and realizing that “nothing risked,
nothing gained,” he likes to take
a chance. Bill is a cautious fel
low and wants to speculate, but
he doesn’t want to lose his money.
So he tosses aside all the “wild
eyed” promises and impractical
; guarantees that flood the perils
[and seeks out a chance to specu
i late with the safety of a flowing
! oil well to fall back on if the
well he bets on turns out to be
dry. If the new well comes in j
big, Bill should make a profit
'of 10 times his investment. If
he doesn’t he still has his money
where it should pay him dividends,
over a period of years, twenty
times larger than the savings
bank interest. And he has the
! speculative chance of making a
real fortune if the new well comes
in good. He wants to speculate
with his “fingers crossed, ’ as it
j were, and that is exactly what
j he does when he accepts our spe
cial Pool offer, and shares in one
gusher while we drill for another.
Write us for full information,
but better still—mail us $20. $100,
or even $200, and share in our
II next dividend. If you are like
Bill Jones, we might help you.

F. W. Williamson
(Coi-Utuied from Pm'e One)
A matter of great importance to (
the future of lode mining in the
Fairbanks district is whether or
not certain large mineralized lone.;
such as the Ryan Lode, can he
mmed at a profit. It seems to be
definitely determined that the
Ryan Lode contains well ever
1,000,000 tons of ore carrying be
tween $4 and $5 per ton m geld.
Whether or not this can be profita
bly extracted is a mining nroblmn
that is receiving careful attention.
The Fairbanks district as a whole
affords large possibilities ‘ h a t
many gold lodes other than those
now known may be discovered.
Mr. Hill is of the opinion that
several properties not now being
operated arc of sufficient merit to
warrant active mining, and be
lieves that granted the necessary
capital and intelligently directed
development, the lode gold output
of the district can be greatiy in
creased.
EVA CREEK MINES
At Eva Creek, 11 miles east of
Ferry on The Alaska Railroad, a
property known as the Eva Creek
Mining Company is now being act
ively developed, and a 50-ton mill
has been purchased and will be in
stalled this fall. The ore body,
consisting of base gold ore, lies in
schist, and although the results of
the Geological Survey’s sampling
have not been received, it appears
probable that there are reserves of
25,000 to 50.000 tons of ore carry
ing upwards of $20 in gold per ton
This ore will have to be concen
trated, and with the mill operating
at capacity of about four tons con
centrate per day should be recov
ered. This must be shipped to a
smelter for reduction. The sur
--'iinding district has been little
prospected and deserves attention
in the hope that other similar ore
bodies will be found.
MT. EIELSON DISTRICT
The Mt. Eielson area, formerly
known as Copper Mountain, in
McKinley Park, has been studied
in detail by J. C. Reed, and a
topographic map has been made
of the mineralized area. Although
about twenty (20) claims are now
held in the vicinity of Mt. Eiel
son, development work has been
limited to a large number of small
pits and trenches and three small
adits, the longest, 90 feet long.
Hitherto the lack of transporta
tion has been a serious draw
back to prospecting, but the new
McKinley Park highway, at pres
ent under construction, will pass
within a mile of Mt. Eielson, which
is about 70 miles from the rail
jroad.
The principal rocks of the region
! include a thick series of thin bed
; dec! limestone and calcareous
| shales, all ultimately contorted
|and folded. These sediments are
| cut by a mass of granite rock
i that forms the major part of Mt,
Eielson, the main intrusive having
sent a multitude of dikes and sills
into the associated sediments. The
granitic area is terminated on
j the south by a fault of large dis
placement. During or just fol
| lowing intrusion of the g r a n
j ite the enclosing sediments were
j permeated by material given ofi
; by the granite mass, were silici
j tied, and in places replaced b>
j sulfides of zinc, lead, iron ant
j copper.
The ore bearing zone lies or
(the north side of the main gran
itic intrusive, the zone being aboui
six miles long, and from one-hall
to one mile wide. Sphalerite k
the most abundant sulphide, be
ing several times as abundant ai

is any copper ore of commercial I
j importance in the area.
Too little development work has I
i been done to make possible a cal- ;

j ed ore depends upon what the i

reduction may prove to be, facts I

The silver content of the galena
is reported to be considerable, but j
the results of assay samples are j
not yet available. In general, how
ever, it may be said that there is i
probably a large tonnage, possi- i
bly to be measured in hundredsj
of thousands of tons or zinc,
lead and possibly silver bearing
material of fair tenor that could
be proven by careful and exten

been demonstrated that this ma

The veins range from a few inch
