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.
The company owns over one mile of the Mother Lode ledge,
in the camp. This ledge shows in width from .10 to 100 teet
and can be easily traced for seven miles, and assays in gold
from a few dollars up, ami into the thousands to the ton. Nug
gets an* found in the quartz which are worth from 2;> 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 <>l the
Chamber of Commerce, Anchorage, Alaska.
As soon as the snow is gone, the ground will be thoroughly
prospected by practical mining men to ascertain the amount
of ore tonnage available for a milling plant; also the actual
value of the ore per ton, and the character of the ore treatment
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 paying
10 per cent down and 10 per cent monthly, for nine months.
Five hundred shares is the smallest allotment sold.
This may be your 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
time you think you 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 time
you think you will be in a position to make your first payment,
and the stock will be reserved for you.
Don’t delay if you feel like taking a chance with us. About
June 11 will leave for Nugget Creek to inspect the mining prop
erty, and will stt|y on the ground at least a month.
Orders for Cache Creek Gold Shares should be mailed not
later than May 20, in order to get the shares reserved and book
ed before I leave.

age Daily Times from April 1 to April 20.

y .WORK TO
BE PUSHED IN
I THE INTERIOR
-_
l
(Fairbanks Citizen)
That railroad work in interior Alas- j
ka for the year 1917 had already com- 1
meneed, although scarcely 12 hours j
had elapsed since the news that the j
senate, by passing the sundry civil ’
bill, had appropriated the sum of $7,
500,000 for construction work, was j
received, was the statement made
yesterday afternoon over the tele- •
phone between Fairbanks and Nenana
by Commissioner Thomas Higgs, jr.
That is, the letting of contracts for
all kinds of grading work has started.
i
All day long yesterday at commission
headquarters at Nenana contractors
stood ten deep, all waiting their turn
| to complete negotiations for their1
j contracts, with the expectation of go
! ing to work at the earliest possible
; moment.
Mr. Riggs stated yesterdav that he
i
| has not yet been officially advised of
the passage of the appropriation bill
j containing the Alaska railroad item
j by congress, but he is not waiting in
the matter of letting contracts. It is
j his earnest wish that all of the eon
! tractors get to work at the earliest
i possible moment, consequently the
contracts are being let on the news- ■
i paper report regarding the passage of
j the bill.
Not having been officially advised
' that the sundry civil bill has been pas
sed, Mr. Higgs is unable to state just
what will be the apportionment of’
I money for work on the interior end
! of the railroad. He expresses the
hope, however, that it will be $2,667,
00(1, or the amount of the original es
timate of funds necessary for work
in the interior this year.
The delay in the appropriation of;
i funds for railroad work, while not1
as lengthy as had been expected, will
have the effect of materially hamper
ing construction, according to Mr.
; Itiggs. This is made so by the fact
that most of the laige orders for raa- ■
terial placed on the outside during
the winter will have to be cancelled.
It has also had the effect of forcing
the commission to pay higher prices
for everything than would otherwise
have been paid.
Transportation will also be a prob- I
lem which the engineering commis- 1
I sion will have to contend with this
| summer. Owing to the fact that the;
government will probably use all
available ships for various purposes !
during the war, it will be hard to get
material brought north as rapidly as ’
it is needed.
Regardless of drawbacks, however, j
it is Mr. Riggs’ intention to push ;
ahead with the work as rapidly as
possible as soon as he is officiallyj
informed of how much money will be
made available for construction work
in the interior. He has hopes of be
ing able to connect Fairbanks with
the Nenana coal fields by late fall, and
is working hard with that end ir. 1

BERING COAL TO BE
MINED IN THE FALL |
(Cordova Times)
John Hutchinson, superintendent of
the Clark Davis coal mine at Katalla,
is in town for a couple of days on
business and he is very optimistic
over the mine he is opening up and
which he expects to have on a ship
ping basis this summer.
Mr. Hutchinson is an experienced
mining operator and he reports that
this property is one of the most
promising that he has ever handled,
and its product is a high grade of an
thracite coal, which can be marketed
in competition with inferior coal from
Washington state and British Colum
bia.
A patent has been granted by the
government for this claim, which it
on the eust side of Canyon creek in
the Bering river zeld. There are twe
well-defined veins or seams, and or.
No. 1 it is 6 feet in thickness and ha>
been crosscut for 400 feet. While the
■mtcropping is somewhat crushed
there is a fine body of hard coal. On
N’o. 2 vein it is 4',i feet thick and in
i solid condition.
For some time past a force of 10
men has been engaged in opening up
this mine, but the crew will soon be
increased to 40. The present plan is
to ship a limited amount of coal this
Fall, and by next spring to have the
mine opened up sufficiently to supply
the local market with fuel. In order
:o get it to a market, it will be neces
sary to haul it by rail to tidewater at
FFontroler bay, a distance of 18 miles.
During the past year the work of
constructing this railroad has been in
progress and the grading has all been
•ompleted. with the exception of driv
ing some piling. The steel has been
irdered, as well as ears and locomo
tives, and these wil larrive at Katalla
about May 1, when the work on the
road will be rushed to completion.
MILWAUKEE CLOSES
JUNEAU OFFICES AND
RETIRES FROM ALASKA
(Juneau Empire)
Al. E. Harris, acting upon instruc
tions from the powers that be, today
closed the offices of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad in this
city, and the ‘Milwaukee” has retired
from the Alaska field. Mr. Harris,
the Alaska agent, and George W. Hib
bard, general passenger agent at Se
attle, fought until the end to induce
the company to retain its Alaska
agency.
The Milwaukee was the pioneer
among the railroad lines to maintain
offices in Alaska, and the result has
been shown in the fact that the road
has each year increased its business
in the territory over the year before.
And this has been done notwithstand
ing that other roads have since en
tered the field.
Mr. Harris and Mr. Hibbard have
been very popular in Alaska, and
they Have made their railroad like
wise popular. General regret has
been expressed because of the action
of the company in retiring from tiie
field.
Mr. Harris has been directed to re
port for duty in the states, but he
has several business propositions
which he is investigating, and may
decide to remain in Alaska.

KL F’ASO, April 13.— Denying that
he hud made any alliance with Ger
man agents and asserting that his
sole aim is the overthrow of Curran
za, Francisco Villa recently issued a
proclamation directed to the people
of Mexico and America. The docu
ment, issued at Santa Kutalia, Chihua
hua, outlines in part Villa’s future
operations, and declares that he will
oppose any attempt to make Mexico
a base for German operation.- against
the United States,
“I wish to inform my Mexican
compatriots, and the American peo
ple, that I have neither made any
alliance with the German govern
ment nor made any compromise with
German agents who have been
spreading propaganda,” the proclama
tion reads in part.
In discussing his future plans, the
bandit leader says he intends to ob
tain reinforcements from Durango,
after which he will make an attempt
to capture Chihuahua City, and then
will march against Juarez.
Villa expressed the hope thaat “his
grand friend. General Scott,” would
agree to confer with him when he
reaches the border, and says he will
try to arrange a settlement of his
differences with Washington through
Senator Fall of New Mexico.
