RETURNING TO SEWIOD
FROM SUITES III Nl
Tom Babcock, who with Dave
Downey and others, owns the Bab
cock & Downey gold quartz mine
at Nuka Bay, who is at present in
the States, will return to Seward
during the fore part of April and
from here will be taken back to
Nuka Bay for another season of
mining activity.
Mr. Babcock, when he left for
the States several weeks ago, had
two tons of ore from the Nuka Bay
mine which was to be subjected to
tests in order to obtain a flow sheet
showing the mineralogical constit
uents of the ore. The purpose of
the test and the obtaining of the
flow sheets is so that a process,
necessary for the recovering of all,
or nearly all, of the ore values,
may be determined and whether
the cyanidation or flotation pro
cess will be necessary.
The Babcock & Downey mine, it
is thought, will continue their op
erations on the same scale as they
have in the post. Little is known
regarding other operations in the
Nuka Bay district but it is thought
operations will be either carried
forward on the same scale as last
year, or on an augmented scale.

Fd hate to be called an Outdoor Girl!
T I THAT usually means a girl’s a total loss
JL in a tete-a-tete . . . and takes up
’nature’ as a last resort! But I must con
fess a liking for hills and forest trees . . .
and all genuine natural things.
”1 like the simple sincerity of Chester
field’s advertising. Have you noticed it?
There’s no extravagance in the claims. Just
everyday facts about the fine tobaccos they
select and the painstaking way they develop <
the flavor and aroma.
"Tve never smoked a milder cigarette!
And I never tire of the flavor ... a fine
natural tobacco taste. They burn evenly,
too. Either they’re rolled more carefully...
or the paper’s better. I feel the greatest con
fidence in Chesterfields. They satisfy me!”
