Rob Henderson, the man vvh

creek which made the nome Kl«»n

Rob has rolled his blankets and
gripped his pipe between his teeth,
and will hit the trail for the land of
the cheechako. He expects to go on
! the next Whitehorse. This will be
Rob’s first visit out in about twenty
years, and be is going out to get a
whiff of ocean ozone and revel on
[the beaches where the peaches blos
som and the lemons are plucked.
I Bob has been somewhat out of
[sorts, of late, and has been listening
to the honk of wild geese and the in
vitation to prospect in new fields.
tury of prospecting and sniping on
creeks, bars and mountain tops, he
says he is anxious to follow up his
profession for a few months where
there Is some salt in the air and a
new-fangled thrill for the sour
dough. He plans to go first to Van
couver and Victoria, and may spend
most of the winter there, and also
probably visit his two sons who are
engaged in mining in the coast
states. The movie people have been
anxious to get Bob into captivity,
but he's too shy and there’s no hope
for Hollywood.
During the summer Bob was pros
pecting the extensive holdings he has
on Keno Kill, in company with his
partner. John Fawcett. John plans
to remain on the hill during the win
ter and give his attention to the
properties, and Rob will be back
there in good season next spring.
“Keno Hill,” says Bob. “will get
into full swing in good time. T will
have a message for the cheechakos
when T get outside, and it will be to j
the effect that Klondike, while the i
greatest plaeer camp of history, and \
with a life of many more years for :
dredge, hydraulic and other work. Is J
not a marfcef compared to Kc.no Hill, j
“Keno has not begun to reveal her j
wealth in production, but she will ■
come on. and I am confident that
from Keno and surrounding hills :
will come the ore that will make the
locality the greatest silver-lead
camp of the world. Mark my word.
The government has been generous
to Yukon and it has helped the ter
ritory splendidly, and will be justi
fied in following up the good work j
in helping the prospector and the 1
miner by giving more good roads I
and trails with which to get out the ;
ore concealed In the treasure houses |
of nature in Keno and vicinity. The j
country is rich and T will be back In ;
eight months to help follow up the j
big development. In the meantime, j
I want to prospect a little in new
fields on the coast and get fit for the
big drive when I return.”
GVTK MEDICAL TESTS

Health Offlpppn Already Applying
New Law to Hafegunid the
Section 146 of the Sanitary Code
recently adopted by the Board of
Health, will go into effect on the first
of next month, and under its provis
ion, every person engaged In the per
paratlon, manufacture, serving or
handling of food or food products
and beverages must undergo a med
ical examination. After that date
such persona must produce on de
mand a certificate from the Depart
ment of Health showing that he or
[she has been examined by a quali
fied medical examiner and found to
be free from any Infectious disease
In a communicable form.
Such certificates are made a requi
site for employment, and a person
working without a medical certifi
cate is subject to prosecution. While
the new section of the code is a de
cided step forward In the matter of
public health it has been anticipat
ed by some of the large hotels and
these have for some time been in
sisting that the food handlers in
their employ be healthy and free
from any communicable disease.
Medical officers of the Health De
partment are already busy making
examinations and issuing certifi
cates. As soon as possible after No.
1 Health Commissioner Dr. Prank J.
Monaghan intends to send out In
spectors to cover the city. They will
visit every establishment where food
is manufactured or served, and
where drinks are dispersed to find
out whether the persons employed
in this branch of the buaineee are In
possession ef the necessary medical
certificates.
At first, where violations art found

j new law are being disregarded proa
According to the N'ew York Hotel
Record the new law is “one of the
most interesting and important step*
taken in years to safeguard the serv
ing of food. The scope of the law
extends far beyond the hotels and
restaurants. The drug store, with
Its so-called ‘luncheonette,’ is con
cerned. every bakes is included—•
everyone, regardless of railing, who
comes into personal contact with the
handling of food.”
The United States Owners’ Associ

up to the new regulation. From N.

over the possibilities of stimulating

Many thousands <.f tourists have
made the long trip down the Yukon
river from Whitehorse, in seasons
g<*ne by. to view the midnight sun
on the longest day of the year from
the deck of a Canadian steamer. The
Midnight Sun excursion id a big at
traction on the Yukon side of the
boundary and it is believed by Gen
eral Manager Landis that the All
Ameriean route with its much short

more popular among travelers over
the Alaska Railroad. The excursion
would be widely advertised and the
result would prove helpful both to
the Railroad and to the country gen
The lower Yukon river service op
erated last summer having proven
its value as an adjunct to the rail
road, Colonel I>andis believes there
should be improvement during the
coming season, both in th** handling
of freight and the accommodation of
passengers. One new boat, built es
pecially for speed and comfort, will
help materially to put the service on
a desirable footing, but the effort to
improve the service will not stop at
that. Colonel Landis hopes eventu
ally to have several new stumors to
do the work that was done by the oh!
Army boats last year, and to handle
the increased business anticipated
by the Canadian company. On the
contrary, he will approach the White
Pass management with an offer of
cooperation, and he firmly believes
the coming summer will witness a
free exchange of travel up and down
the Yukon river.
ANCHORAGE MAX
BOOSTS OIL C AMP
Arriving; from Kanatak. where he
has been in charge of the Ray C.
Larsen Interests. Ben C. Orier will
assume similar duties in Anchorage,
says the Anchorage Times. Mr.
Grier is too well and favorably
known in Anchorage for further
comment other than the spontaneous
welcome received from innumerable
friends. Speaking of conditions at
Kanatak. Mr. Grier always exuding
optimism, said that the ultimate suc
cess of the oil district is a certainty.
Continuing. Mr. Grier says. “It may
be six months of even longer before
the field is proven, and in the mean
time the people of Anchorage who
are interested should not lose faith,
but continue to boost for what will
probably prove to be one of the
greatest assets to this town.”
