STAND FIRM!
The news coming- over the wires
:'roas France indicates that the en
• mv at any moment may renew hie
attempts to break through the al
1 it-d. line and reach Paris or the
ihan 11 el ports.
But let no one be dismayed!
Never were our armies and the peo
ple behind our armies better pre
pared to withstand the bombast of
tirs sorely wounded and surely beat
••ii Goliath. Bike the Philitsine
?--iant of Bible history. he at first
terrifies the children of Israel by
his great bulk, by the weight of his
shield and spear, and by the roar
<u' his insolent challenge. But the
i'a\ids today—the Fochs, the Haigs,
the i'ershjngs, will stand undis
a: at the rh:ht moment w'U
hurl the stoue which will surely
i>ri:i^ k» >ts knees this infamous
tnight-iuakes-right system which
has defied the nations who have
t'!az.\l upon their escutcheons—
"Great not like Caesar, stain
eu »iia i/iwu—
But only great as I am good."
So let the people behind the
taring lines stand firm. Let them
never for a moment allow a ques
liuiiing thought as to the out*
rome of this struggle, to enter their
minds. There can be but one out
orne! Tnere must be but one
outcome! Think success, talk suc
»'<s. Is not this a way in which
u e can signally help to sustain tne
morale of our troops? A nation of
right thinkers, standing firm in
the conviction of the certain tri*
umpa of right, is bound to give
i i>urage and inspiration to the Da
\itls at the front, and make vic
tory an early possibility. Stand
firm!

Fairbanks—Construction work
ig under way on the new dredge for
the Fairbanks Gold Mining com
pany, Ltd., on Fairbanks creek.
The Union Construction company, of
San Francisco, has the contract for
erecting the dredge. During the last
summer over 107.000 feet of lumber
was taken to the scene of the min
ing company's operations and placed
on the ground to be available when i
needed. The machinery will be on i
some of the first boats to arrive
after the breakup. The mining
company's property takes in the
entire creek from 9 below discovery
up. Thedredge will be constructed
on 1 below and is one of the most
modern make and of large capacity.
About 12 men will be employed in
the construction of the dredge.
Word was recently received of a
strike at Takotna. There are three
gulches running into Hidden creek
which will pay better than wages.
The pay is said to run as high as
20 cents.
The strike made in the Kusko- ,
kwitn section last summer has come!
fully up to reports. Strikes have I
also been made on Orooked creek
and George river. A strike has al
so been made on Holitna river.

Recent arrivals In Fairbanks
from Brooks state that a small

place where the strike is said to

Ancnorage.—Platinum 'n paying
quantities and tremendous deposits
0 I lignite coal have been
located on Hyas riiver, a tributary
01 th-e Skwentna river, according to
a statement made today by Helmer
Rundin, a well known prospector,
who arrived in Anchorage yesterday
from the Skentna district on tne
power tx>at J. J. from Susitna sta
tion. Mr. Ruudin, who has spent
the past six months in the Hyas
river country, feels certain tnat with;
a proper working of the ground
paying quantities of platinum may
be mined. The great difficulty ac
cording to Mr. Rundin is the pres
ence of water which renders the
yorking of the ground at this time
particularly dfficult. He will re
turn in the fall and remain there
for the winter, working with a drill
and will tnoroughly prospect the
ground in this manner.
Coal deposits of tremendous di
mensions exist along the Hyas
rive-r and veins from fourteen to
sfxteen feet are in evidence in num
rous placee®. The coal, says Mr.
Rundin. is like Pine knots and will
burn readily iu a Yukon stove.—Al

I HE HI
Boo Henderson, famed as the first
man to find gold in the Klondike
valiev, left Dawson July 6 on the
Hazel B. for a notable prospecting
cruise. He will ascend the Stewart
river. After reaching the upper
Stretches of the Stewart, he will
embark in his canoe, "Lizzie's
Dream," and paddle up the south
fork of the Stewart and up Crook
ed river, and may cross the di
vide and drop down the north fork
of the McMillan. He states that
from having toured that region
years ago he "knows there is £°ld in
the country, and he is hopeful of
yet makiug a new strike there and
possibly causing the opening of rich,
new placer fields. Bob is a genu
ine prospector, and never loses the
bug for the new strike.
Lizzie's Dream is a nifty and
shifty little Peterboro, and in it Bob
will carry his entire summer's am
munition and. camp outfit and will
depend largely on his gun for his lil
n!g for the next several years.
Although the furrows are begin
ning to beat in on Bob's brow, and
bis hands also are corrugated, the
long, lank, angular form of the old
Pictou scout is as tough as the
seasoned oak. He says that he is
planning many a summer and wintel
yet in the eternal hills and vales of
Yukon in search of the accursed ye",
low stuff for which men fight the
world over. His son, Henry, got
away a few days ago with the
first Yukon selected contingent for
the fight in France, and will ably
represent the family behind the
gun, while Dad will oontinue to be
