REVIVAL OF ALASKA GOLD MINES
When it is considered that in this vast gold country
of Alaska, only gold from the surface, conservatively
speaking, has been mined and that, in the most prominent
districts, it does not require a Moses to realize the present
gold mining revival now speeding throughout the nation
will be reflected in the Territory of Alaska; and that, im
mediately.
Gold appears to be the only base metal worth mining
during this present economic situation. Scarcity of gold
' has emphasized the importance of gold mines to the na
tion.
With the practical and successful demonstration ot
operating and dividend-paying concerns such as those
formed in Interior Alaska—the Hammond interests, h an -
banks Exploration Company, in the Willow and Cache
Creek areas and in and near Juneau, the Alaska-Juneau
property and the Chichagof—it is seen capital is the only
requirement. And, capital, because all other investment
fields have proven more or less insecure, is turning its
eyes toward the opportunties afforded by the basic wealth
of America—gold!
The pendelum has turned; conditions have never been
more favorable for resumption of acquiring clean, honest
wealth and with the favorable report of the Geeologica
* Surrey following its 1931 reconnaissance of the Alaska
Railroad belt, the spring of 1932, next year, will be marked
by a decided gold mining revival which may bring Alaska
to the peak, for 1932, as the greatest gold producing coun
try in the world.
BIOLOGICAL WONDERS
Stunted children may be developed to normal size in
the future through scientific means according to a pre
diction by Dr. Oscar Riddle, noted biologist, who recently
related over the radio some of the results of experiments
with animals and humans.
By the use of substances derived from certain glands
animals some surprising developments have been pro
duced. Through special feeding, mice have been made to
grow to twice their normal size. Salamanders, rats and
dogs have been greatly increased in size, and in some in
stances human dwarfs have shown marked growth under
treatment with “hormones” from thyroid or pituitary
glands of oxen and sheep.
Undersized humans of the future may not have to go
through life as “runts” if, as Dr. Riddle believes, the hor
mone treatment shall be successfully developed. Much
farther experimenting will be necessary, however, before
such treatment becomes available for general use.
Some other interesting laboratory experiments and
their results were enumerated by Dr. Riddle. It was found
that by shaking up certain eggs they would develop with
out fertilization by a male parent. Tadpoles developed
eye lenses from skin taken from their backs. Refrigera
tion of the skin of a white rabbit caused it to turn black
and grow black hair. Sex of many animals can be con
trolled and reversed.
These are only a few of the strange things accom
plished by scientists in recent years. And there is no tell
ing what they may do next.
What has become of the old-fashioned prospector
whose upper lip was adorned with the weeping-willow
variety of mustache? The kind which strained the vege
tables from the soup..
A high pressure salesman sa*ys food should be made
beautiful. While it might help to put cerise rayon tights
on the bologny, there is no substitute for the permanenl
wave in the prune.

StTIEI WILL CURTAIL
j FOX PELTING DUE TO
LOW PRICES OF FURS
. j -
Owing to the low prices being of
fered for blue-fox furs and other
furs in general this year again,
j Capt. Pete Sather, of the MS Rolph,
! now in port, announces that he will
’ | not pelt many of his foxes at the
■ I Sather Nuka Fox Island this season.
J Capt. Sather had intended to take
| a couple of extra men along with
j him to help in the trapping of the
| blue foxes, but decided against this
! when he received fur quotations,
j announcing further price declines,
i He has decided that he will curtail
! pelting somewhat this lyear and
'await better market prices.
Whatever pelting is done this year
he will be able to take care of with
the help he has on the island and
himself.

WAKE UP YOUR
LIVER BILE—
WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You’ll Jump Out of Bed in
the Morning Rarin’ to Go
If you feel sour and sunk and tne world
looks punk, don’t swallow a lot of salts,
mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing
gum and expect them to make you suddenly
sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
For they caii't do it. They only move the
bowels and a mere movement doesn t get at
the cause. The reason for your down-and-out
Keeling is vour liver. It should pour out two
pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
If this bile is not flowing freely, your food
doesn’t digest. It just decays in the bowels.
Gas bloats up your stomach. You nave a
thick, bad taste and your breath is .oul,
akin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head
aches and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned. oaptfR’S
It takes those goed, old CARTER a
LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two
pounds of bile flowing freely and make you
feel “up and up.” They contain wonderful,
harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing
when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don’t ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter s
Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter a
Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent a
substitute. ’ © C. M. Co.
