NEWS FROM

TALKEETNA, Feb. 4. — Georg*
Vause, government boat superinten
dent with Supt. of Construction
Bennett, is on the way to Indian river,
to make preparations for the big
bridge to be built across the Susitnu
river at that point. Vause employed
Al. Berg and his dog team to transfer
their baggage to that point.
The government camp at mile 221
is employing about sixty men, putting
in cribbing of about a mile in length
around the point, at the water’s edge.
The 4-year-old girl of Indian Pedro
died last Friday morning, having been
ill since October. Interment was made
at the Nicholai burying grounds, Chief
Nicholai, of the Greek church, offici
ating. The mother is grief-stricken
and refuses to be comforted.
The temperature has been ranging
from 40 to 50 degrees below zero the
past two weeks. The weather is de
lightfully clear and cold. The trails
are in perfect shape for dog and horse
teams.
The Wells brothers are hauling the
summer supplies of Joe Morris to Iron
creek, relaying three times en route.
Dog teams are employed.
Rumor has it that one of the most
popular young engineers of Dead
Horse Hill will take unto himself a
charming bride soon after Easter.
Business, as a consequence of rail
way work, promises to be rushing at
Dead Horse Hill the coming summer.
The railway headquarters for this di
vision of the construction will be es
tablished there, a distance of twenty
seven miles north of Talkeetna.
Al. Wolff has completed a one-room
cottage and intends to erect another
just like it.

There is no phase of preventive
medicine more important to our coun
try than the raising of strong, sturdy
children; therefore tremendous efforts
are being put forth to educate parents
in the matter of what to do and how
to do it in order that our children may
be well and strong.
It is reasonable to suppose that aft
er a child is one year old its chances
for life are increased because it has
acquired a greater resistance to all
detrimental influences. It may be ex
posed to new dangers by reason of
its age, but it is better able to resist
and survive them. Therefore the
highest death rate is found in those
children under one year of age. Take
New York city for instance, during
1916 there were 12,814 deaths of in
fants, a rate of 93.1 per 1,000 births.
During 1915, 13,866 deaths of infants,
a rate of 98.2 per 1,000 births. These
deaths are mostly due to diarrhoea!
diseases. That is the usual cause of
death in infants. While it is common
ly supposed that infants'die more rap
idly in large cities recent observations
are showing that the death rate in
rural communities is mounting rapid
ly, partly due to the fact that a bet
ter reporting is being secured.
The regrettable thing abcttkt it is
the fact that this is a needless sacri
fice because with proper care of the
mother during pregnacy in order that
the child may be well born and proper
care of the child at birth and during
the first year this enormous death
rate can and is being materially re
duced. And it is being done by means
of a systematic campaign of educa
tion in the matter of pre-natal care,
proper nursing and feeding and im
proved hygienic surroundings. Clin
ics for young mothers are being held
all over the country where this in
formation is given gratis, and instruc
tion by competent physicians, and ir
many large cities where hundreds oJ
infants are being raised on the bottle
and it is difficult to get good milk
milk stations are conducted by| public
health departments where needy moth
ers are not only supplied with the
milk but are taught the proper meth
Latest Incorporated Gold Mining Com
pany to Begin Operating in the
Willow Creek District—Have
Opened Office at 547 4th.
The properties of the Arrah Wanna
Gold Mining Company consist of six
claims in the Willow Creek Mining
District, practically adjoining some of
the best paying mines in that section.
These claims contain the same charac
ter of ore and carry the same values
that the richest mines in the camp
have produced.
The location of the Arrah Wanna
properties, right in the heart of a
number of properties that are now
yielding hundreds of thousands to the
output of the Willow Creek region,
together with other natural conditions,
justifies the prediction that the prop
erties of the Arrah Wanna Gold Min
ing Company will in the near future
become one of the largest producers
of that district now conceded to be the
biggest producer of high-grade free
milling ore in Alaska at the present
time.
It fs the purpose of the Arrah Wan
na Gold Mining Company to sell only
enough stock to cover the costs and to
meet the costs of contemplated devel
opment. When funds for this purpose
shall have been subscribed the stock
will absolutely be taken off the mar
ket, as it is the intention of the com
pany to take the means necessary for
further development out of the
ground..
The Arrah Wanna Gold Mining
Company is capitalized at $200,000.00
non-assessable, of which amount $40,
000.00 only will be sold for develop
ment purposes. As noted above, as
soon as sufficient money has been ac
quired for initial development work
the stock will be taken off the market,
the only exception being that the
original purchasers will be entitled to
acquire, before the expiration of 30
days after the vein- has been cut, as
much more' stock as they originally
may have purchased. This insures
them deriving the benefits to which
they arc entitled, as they are the
ones who will have helped to make
the mine. The stock will be delivered
to them at the same price as original
ly sold at, regardless of what the
market value may be.
The stock to be disposed of will be
sold at 25 cents per share. For every
share of stock sold at this time an
equal amount will automatically be
placed in the treasury subject to ac
quirement by the original purchasers.
The officers of the Arrah Wanna
Gold Mining Company are as follows:
Mr. T. M. Sheehan, president; S. R.
Maclinton, Vice-President; J. P. Han
sen, Superintendent; T. S. Oliver, Sec
retary and Treasurer. Directors:
Messrs. T. S. Oliver, S. R. Maclinton,
J. P. Hansen, A. B. Cummings.
Considerable expense has been in
curred in compiling an up-to-date map
of the Willow Creek district, which
may be seen by anyone interested, oh
request, at office of Arrah' Wanna
Gold Mining Co., 547 4th St.
(AdV.) T. M. SHEEHAN, Pres.
ods of preparing the feeding and how
to take care of the bottles, etc.
In line with this plan a series of
articles will be presented giving in
formation on the hygiene of pregnacy,
the nursing mother, and the care and
feeding of children. Such definite or
specific information as cannot be giv
en in this way will be given on per
sonal application.
