ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1917.
A SMELTER WILL BE NEEDED.
It lias now been determined beyond the question of a doubt
that a smelter will be needed for the treatment of the ores that
are native to this part of Alaska. A movement to this end has
already been initiated but its establishment will depend much
upon the attitude of those who own the lode properties. If the
lode owners in the Broad Pass region will bond their properties
for a reasonable figure and give ample time for thorough tests
of the ore, so that the method of treatment can be established
before exacting any cash consideration, we are confident that
capital can be interested. But if the lode owners are unreason
able in their demands, capital can not be expected to invade this
field. And without capital, the lode claims will continue to lie
dormant, the same as before transportation facilities were pro
vided.
Of course the pessimists scout the idea of a smelter thus
early in the development of the Broad Pass camp. And it is
true that there is not a sufficient tonnage in sight to warrant the
installation, just now, of such a costly method of treatment.
But the mineralized zone of the Broad Pass region is easily de
veloped. A series of tunnels along the zone would soon deter
mine the valuable mineral content, which is gold, silver and
copper, gold predominating. Claim owners say that the zone
will carry from $6 to $10 the ton. They base this claim on re
sults from one tunnel that penetrates the zone, and which is re
puted to give this average yield per ton. Now this result is
highly encouraging, but it will require a more elaborate test
than one tunnel penetrating the zone to lead capital to estab
lish a smelter for the treatment of the ore. As we said before,
it will require a series of tunnels penetrating the zone at stated
intervals before an adequate demonstration ol the values can
be gained. All this will take time and money. We are con
vinced that on the highly favorable showing, revealed by the
slight development work and by outcrops, capital can be inter
ested, provided that the claim owners will give them an oppor
tunity to do some extensive development before asking a cash
consideration.
PROTEST AGAINST THIS TAX ON INTELLIGENCE.
(The American Pressman)
The house post office committee has favorably reported the
annual appropriation bill with a rider which will raise rates on
all second-class mail from one to six cents a pound based on a
zone system.
Such a rate will paralyze every publication of national cir
culation, among which are trade union publications like tlie
American Pressman. ,
At the recent meeting of the printers of Chicago and north
ern Illinois, which caused them to increase prices on printing
:?0 per cent, the following table showing increases in costs was
presented: Per t ,(M1t

No more inopportune time to raise second-class rates could
have been chosen.
Every trade union every trade unionist, their friends, asso
ciates anil sympathizers should immediately protest against
this contemplated legislation to all members of congress.

“The Store That Has What You Want—When You Waat It.”
Loussac’s Daily Gossip
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1917.
Vol. 1. No. 189. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, 4th and D
Save your eyes on the trail by using the “Wilson (Joggles’’
and Zylbex Eye Protector. ..We have a complete assortment of
many styles in amber and smoked glasses.
Another very handy little outfit for the trail or camp is
Johnson & .Johnson’s Red Cross Utility Kit at 50c, 11 articles
of everyday use.
If you lived as the cave man lived, your health would take
care of itself. The cave man ate coarse food and lived a strenu
ous life in the open. His digestive apparatus was suited to that
kind of an existence. You inherit from the cave man the same
internal mechanism but you eat different food and lead a dif
ferent kind of life. Hence the almost universal prevalence of
constipation—and its constant menace to health. Your prob
lem is to adjust that “cave man” internal mechanism of yours
to the sedentary life and concentrated food of civilized life.
American Mineral Oil accomplishes the adjustment. It does
not upset the ordinary processes of digestion—and it does not
form a habit. We recommend San-Tox American Oil at $1.25
per full pint.
On Valentine day a customer of ours wanted a box of candy.
We sold him a box of Augustine & Kyer’s Chocolates, in speak
ing of different kinds of candy he asked me why we didn’t carry
cheaper box candy in stock. There is only one thing we can an
swer to that. We sell Augustine & Kyer’s chocolates for the
same reason that we sell Waterman’s Ideal Fountain pens, for
the same reason we sell Eastman Kodaks, for the same reason
we use Squibb’s, Mulford’s and Parke Davis’ chemicals in our
prescription department, for the same reason that we buy Stet
son’s Hats or Cheney’s neckwear, and Hart, Schaffner & Marx’
Clothes, for the same reason we handle all quality goods. We
want to be identified with the best only. And in that lies your
safety and advantage in dealing with us.
