MINING ENGINEER THINKS
Hlf PIMM GROUND
IT COOHS BIT AREA
A journey which lasted about
seven weeks was completed by
Irving McK Reed when he re
turned to Fairbanks after making
a survey for the Territorial min
ing department of placer mining
operations in the lower Kuskok
wim district and, to a more limit
ed extent, in the lower Yukon
country, says the News-Miner.
From observations made and
conversations had with mining
men on the trip, Mr. Reed will
write and submit to the Territorial
mining department a detailed re
port on the country which he
visited.
Mr. Reed thinks highly of the
platinum ground at Goodnews Bay.
Had platinum maintained its price
of $100 an ounce, he said every
miner there would have made from
$7,000 to $15,000 each this summer.
At present water is .somewhat
short and dead work was being
done .while he was there. Good
news Bay platinum is found in
connection wth meridium which j
brings the total present price to
around $30 an ounce.
Comparatively little prospecting
has been done in that section as
yet and Mr. Reed believes the
country warrants further develop
ment. The ground is wet and
thawed and bedrock has not been
reached, as there are no drills
available. Bedrock is probably not
25 feet below the surface.
Six men are working on Clara
Creek, four on Squirrel, two on
Platinum and one on Fox. All
are using hand methods of labor.
There is comparatively little
work being done in gold placer
mining with the exception of Bear
Creek, where the New York-Alaska
Dredging Company boats are op
erating.
The whole lower country is ex
periencing a shortage of wTater
resulting in slowing down or ces
sation of work everywhere except
at Bear Creek.
! It was so dry at Marshall that
! mining men had come into town
I from the creeks. On one creek
| it was said, it was just barely
| possible to secure drinking water.
Mr. I-ceed didn’t go to the Idit
; a rod but he was told many men
| are idle there because of lack of
! water.
POTLATCH NEXT MONTH
Chestochina natives may have
a “potlatch" next month. The
Chitina Native Council thinks that
they had better have no more of
these affars in the future; a few
of the older natives still cling to
the potlatch idea; the younger
generation do not want them.
Some feel that the young people
are right—that surplus money had
best be expended for flour, beans
and bacon—that the warm blan
kets be used for home consump
tion in stead of gifts, reports the
Cordova Times.

DO YOU
SUFFER WITH
HEADACHE?,
So easy to get quick relief and pre-!
vent an attack in the future. Avoid!
bromides and dope. They relieve quick- i
Iv but affect the heart and are very1
dangerous. They are depressing and
only give temporary relief, the cause
of the headache still remains within.' I
The sane and harmless way. First
correct the cause, sweeten the sour
and acid stomach, relieve the intes
tines of the decayed and poisonous
food matter, gently stimulate the liver,
start the bile flowing and the bowels
pass off the waste matter which causes
3rour headache. Ask your druggist for
red pkg. of Carter’s Little Liver Pi Jit.
FAREWELL LUNCHEON
Honoring Miss Virginia Hawkins
and Miss Betty Balderston, who ]
have been visiting their parents

shortly will return to the States

was tendered them Tuesday after
noon at the Leslie residence. A
host of friends were present.
