INTERESTING BATCH OF MIN
ING NEWS FROM OLDTIMER
TOWN OF VALDEZ
From Carl Miller, well known
resident of Valdez and who like
wise is equally well acquainted
with -Seward oldtimers, sends over
to the Gateway the following in
teresting batch of news notes and
observations:
“I think 1929 is going to be a
banner year for mining in this
district for I have had some good
news from Seattle informing me
of many people interested and
looking toward Valdez this coming
season. I will say that is the Seat
tle spirit.
“Th° freighter Tanana arrive.,
here with thousands of feet of
lumber for the Port Wells Gran
ite Mining Co. T. W. Duncan,
general manager of the company,
will leave Seattle on one of the
next steamers to begin operations.
“There is also strong talk about
taking over the Hamilton proper
ty: the Mayfield mine will also be
worked this spring. D. Coats, C.
Anderson and Warren Taylor, all
of Cordova, are going to open up
the first of March on the Ethel.
James Patterson, Frank Kempher
and associates are going to work
this spring and the great old Cliff
mine will soon again be a pro
ducer.
“Jeff Derien’s properties are
showing up better all the time.
Jeff certainly has got the stuff. On
Mineral Creek the Wm. Assitz
property also looks good. If he had
not had his recent accident he
would have had his mine operat
ing today.
“Wm. Dolan, Jack Coats and
several others, having claims in
the vicinity of Valdez, are look
ing for a great improvement in
mining activities this year and I
think myself that this year and
1930 Valdez will see one of those
oldtime mining revivals; let’s hope
so. It will all help our sister
towns; in fact the entire Terri
tory, so let us boost all we can. If
we can get Seattle capital inter
ested in mining it will show that
the people realize that Alaska
helped to build Seattle and by in
vesting money in the Territory will
continue to assist in the upbuilding
of that city. We are a little short
of the Alaska spirit and good fel
lowship. More of this would serve
to develope that much faster.
“Seattle money is invested in
flash lamps and batteries
at J. L. Graefs.
I Alaskan canneries and other fish
1 industries so why can they not be
interested in Alaska’s mining in
dustry. What is good for Alaska
is good for Seattle.
•'The first named mining com
panies are all around Valdez Bay;
then there is the Chas. Wetzler
ground on Hurdle Creek; C. Todd
on Fourth of July Creek; Alex
Sungultairy is also active in that
locality. All these claims can be
reached via the Richardson high
way. I can see no reason why Val
dez should not be an excellent
producer of minerals the next few
years, but we must have the grand
oldtime spirit and boost for Alas
ka and her mineral wealth. Min
ing will come to the front again
and Valdez can show more gold
prospects than any town in the
Third division; but give the man j
with capital a chance. I am sure 1
this spring will bring several Seat- |
j tie men to look over the situation.
“Alaska should have an All- i
j Alaska Chamber of Commerce to
meet and discuss matters of Ter
ritorial interest,' especially min
ing, T think such an organization
would work untold benefit to every
section of Alaska.”
Gerit Snider, mink rancher of
Wasilla, will continue to serve as
road commissioner in the Third
Division as the result of failure of
anyone else to qualify at the last
election.

TNSTEAD of eating between meals ..
•i- instead of fattening sweets... beautiful
women keep youthful slenderness these
days by smoking Luckies. The smartest
and loveliest women of the modern stage
take this means of keeping slender . . .
when others nibble fattening sweets,
they light a Lucky!

Lucky Strike is a delightful blend of the
world’s finest tobaccos. These tobaccos 0||j
are toasted—a costly extra process which vK§j
develops and improves the flavor. That’s
why Luckies are a delightful alternative f|
for fattening sweets. That’s why there’s '•%
real health in Lucky Strike. That’s why
folks say; “It’s good to smoke Luckies.”
A
For years this has been no secret to M
those men who keep fit and trim. They
know that Luckies steady their nerves and
do not harm their physical condition.
They know that Lucky Strike is the favor
ite cigarette of many prominent athletes,
who must keep in good shape. They re
spect the opinions of 20,679 physicians
who maintain that Luckies are less irri
tating to the throat than other cigarettes.
A reasonable proportion of sugar in the
diet is recommended,but the authorities
are overwhelming that too many fatten,
ing sweets are harmful and that too many
such are eaten by the American people.
So, for moderation’s sake we say:—
“REACH FOR A LUCKY
INSTEAD OF A SWEET.”
