FAR TO ENLIST
Patriotism is not confined to the
eastern states nor yet to the roast
towns, but the call to arms is heard
in the interior towns and even to the
remote mining districts of Alaska. A ;
splendid example of patriotism is ex
emplified in the stalwart person of A.
A. Willis, who mushed over the long
trail from Iditarod and reached An
chorage late yesterday afternoon. As
soon as the declaration of war reach
ed Iditarod and the president’s plea j
went out for fighting men Mr. Willis,
left his lucrative placer claims, heed- j
ed the call and figuratively shoulder
ed his musket and set out for the
nearest recruiting station to offer his
services to his country. It is no mean
thing to make this trip at this time of
the year when the head waters of the
innttfnerable creeks and rivers are
breaking up; when the snow has
melted, making dog teams inpractiea
ble and the journey has to be made,
on foot, encountering many perils and '
hardships and experiencing the disa
greeable elements. There must have
been some rare incentive for a young
man to start out alone on a trip of
this nature. It is good to know that
this incentive was actuated from love
of country—his country. It is glori
ous to know that this Alaska is full
of just such men who are willing to
sacrifice their life’s blood for their
j
country’s flag and in support of the
government. Anchorage is proud in
having entertained Mr. Willis, who
immediately, upon arrival, reported
to Lieut’* C. A. Ross for duty. His dis-;
appoin'jdient was keen when he learn- ;
ed that he would have to continue his :
journey to Seattle, in order to enlist
for active service.
Mr. Willis left Anchorage on the 1
Admiral Evans for Seattle; disap-!
pointed but not discouraged; still im-J
bued with the hereditary feeling of,
pat^otism and more than ever de
FfMFIFiFIPIFIFIFIFIPIFIFIWFIFIFIFlF
termined to offer his services to his!
’ountry.
It is such sterling young men as i
Mr. Willis who have made the United
States a power to be reckoned with;
a country peopled by a loyal citizen
ship ever ready to respond to the na
tion’s appeal; who love and respect
their country’s flag and consider it
sacred; who will keep that starred and
striped object, the glorious and be
loved emblem of a united people for
ever and for all time unstained and
undefeated.
DAD ABBEY RECOVERING
FROM SERIOUS ILLNESS
Dad Abbey is reaping the reward of
his early piety and Puritan style of
living, and has sufficiently recovered
from a severe attack of the grippe to
be moved to his living quarters back
of the Anchorage Real Estate com
pany’s office. Here, in state, Dad re
ceives many callers, who drop in to
cheer him up and pass the time of day.
But it is usually this lovable gentle
man of the old school who dispenses
the good cheer and happiness for he
always looks on the bright side of lift:
and his friends always leave, imbued
with optimism, for optimism is one of
Dad’s secrets of longevity. “They
can’t kill me,” said Dad yesterday af
ternoon, "and I will soon be able to be
up and look after my bank.” Dad
calls it “his bank” and the personnel
of the Bank of Alaska, too, feel that
Dari is a part of the institution. Then
there is the Harmony and the Cres
cent, “how are they getting along
without me?” he asked. He was told
that they both missed him, as did
many other friends who all wished for
his speedy recovery.
Dad is fortunate in his friends, espe
cially in Mrs. Dick Dickensen, who is
ministering to his wants as only a wo
man can and she says that Dad is an
ideal patient.
He has seen over 80 winters come
and go and says he will live to the
century mark and his many friends
'sincerely trust that his prophecy may
come true.

I The Cache Creek Gold may prove to be
one of the Best and biggest Quartz
MINES IN ALASKA.
The property consists of nine quartz claims of 20 acres
each, or 180 acres, located at the head of Nugget Creek, Cache
Creek country, Susitna Mining District, Alaska.
I Tlie company owns over one mile of the Mother Lode ledge,
in the camp. This lodge shows in width from .“>0 to 100 feet
and can be easily traced for seven miles, and assays in gold
from a few dollars up, and into the thousands to the ton. Xug
gets are found in the quartz which are worth from 25 cents up
to as high as $5.00. The company also owns a mile in length
of another parallel ledge, one-half mile from the Mother Lode
that shows an average width of 30 feet. The rock on this ledge
pans from 20 cents and up, as high as $1.00 or more to the pan.
Some of the rich ore can be seen in the display window of the
{ Chamber of Commerce, Anchorage, Alaska.
As soon as the snow is gone, the ground will he thorough!,!
prospected by practical mining men to ascertain the amount
of ore tonnage available for a milling plant; also the actual
j value of the ore per ton, and the character of the ore treatment
j required.
For a short time you may purchase Treasury Shares in the
Cache Creek Gold Mines Company at the ground floor price of
10 cents per share, 10 per cent discount for cash.
You may buy the shares on the installment plan, by p&ying
10 pel* cent down and 10 per cent monthly, for nine months.
Five hundred shares is the smallest allotment sold.
This may be vour only and last chance to get in and get
some of the 10 cent shares, so don’t delay. Send in your order
at once.
YOURS FOR THE ASKING.
If you haven’t the cash to spare just now, write me a letter,
stating how many shares you wish to subscribe for, and what
j time you think yon will be in a position to pay for the stock in
full, and the shares will be reserved for you.
Should you wish to purchase the stock on the installment
plan, let me know how many shares you wish and what tim**
you think you will Ik* in a position to make your first payment,
i and the stock will Ik* reserved for you.
Don’t delay if you feel like taking a chance with us. About
.lune l 1 will leave for Nugget Creek to inspect the mining prop
Iorty, and will st:|y on the ground at least a month.
Orders for Cache Creek Gold Shares should he mailed not
later than May 20, in order to get the shares reserved and hook
od before I leave.
