UPPER YUKON MS
COLO MINING UHL;
MANY PROSPECTORS
“There is a gratifying revival in
mining in the Upper Yukon”, de
clared John O. Stenbraten, veteran
prospector and mining operator,
who was in Juneau for a few days
on business. “Conditions at White
horse are better now than they
have been in years. Many of the
oldtime prospectors have come
back to the country, and they are
reinforced by many new arrivals.
None are seeking wage employ
ment; all are intent on discover
ing mineral deposits, reports the
Juneau Empire.
“Except for the few hours’ dark
ness around midnight, one can
hear the pounding of hammers and
the ringing of saws, as builders of
small boats hasten to complete
their craft, destined for trips up
likely streams.
“All developed gold properties in
the Whitehorse area are doing well
this season. There is plenty of
water for mining activities. The
Yukon is higher at present than
she has been in 18 years. She is
still rising.
“On Livingston, Lake and Sum
mit Creeks, tributaries of the Big
Salmon, placer gold claims are
yielding rich returns.
“An impetus has been given to
the working of old ground in the
Atlin district by the finding of a
•? 7-ounce nugget in tailings on
Ruby Creek. This of course, was
not the only pay taken from the
Ruby Creek tailings.
“In the Wheaton district, search |
is being vigorously prosecuted for
gold quartz ledges. In that area
Brooks and McConnell are doing
considerable work. A factor of
great help in mining and to the
revived prosperity of Whitehorse
is the airplane. Airships are used
quite frequently in mining quests
and they are constantly coming to
and going from Whitehorse, which
is an airport of consequence now”.

economic depression. And in this
he joins with the many other care
ful students of world trade and
economics in largely assigning the
blame for present conditions to
the defeat of the value of silver.
Criticizing the adoption of gold
as the “only standard for fixing
values of everything,” the writer
charges that under this rigorous
rule its supporters have tried and
almost succeeded in ousting the
competitor with whose assistance
gold could hope to maintain its
ruling position, viz: the other
comparatively rare metal, silver.
So long as there was coopera
tion between the two metals, gov
erned by the inexorable law of
supply and demand, all things
! went well. The ratio of value of
the two metals was largely gov
erned by production which for
many years had been about 15
times as much volume of silver
as gold.

“It is part of my business to notice the
types of tobacco bought by various
concerns. In all instances, The Ameri

that rich, mellow type of tobacco
that the farmer justly calls *The
Cream of the Crop9 for their brand of -1
LUCKY STRIKE ” [
These are the very words of an expe- |
rienced tobacco buyer on the Southern I
market. ‘
LUCKY STRIKE not only promises but
gives you the very finest of each sea
son’s tobacco crop. We pay the highest
prices, to be sure of getting the Cream
of the Crop. And then to be sure that
you get the greatest enjoyment, we
"TOAST" these fine tobaccos —thereby
expelling certain harsh irritants present
in all raw tobaccos. These expelled
irritants we sell to manufacturers of
chemical compounds. LUCKIES are al
ways kind to your throat. Be careful
in your choice of cigarettes.
