To those not familiar with Alaska, and who have lives all their lives
in the states, it would not be expected that they would believe that here in
Skagway on this 29th day of September. 1921. a thousand miles north
of Seattle, we have sweet peas blooming in profusion in our yards, there
ore Quantities of other tlowers. They haw not been so carefully taken
care of the past few weeks on account of t'le expectation of the killing
freeze, but in most parts of the states this has come before this time,
people simply cannot understand why we who are so far north should
not be wading in snow about six feet deep at this time. But we are not
and our flowers are as much appreciated as are those in any part of the
l aited States.

Now is the time to take a i >rward look for the beautifying of your
house and yard next spring. A little time spent this fall will repay you
when the spring work is rushing. Spade up that bed and put on all the

of flowers and vegetables next spring
Thca don't forget to plant a tree or two in the street out in front of
your lor. Even if you do not own tl.o lot and think you are therefore ex

enjoy them if you don't, and you r.ia> move where another ha? had the
forethought which you expertised and thus you will be repaid. Make

The taxation shoe begins to rinch harder as the enormous war tax
levies must be met out of peacetime profits.
The demand that special pr vib-ies. such as tax exemption for many
kinds of securities, be removed, is becoming natiou-wide.
Over $20.000.000,000 of such inv -tments are now held by bond buy
ers who escape paying any tax on their income, thus doubling the tax
rate on productive ir.dustry and the itizen who is working to make a
living today.
"Were the tax exemption privileue e itirelv withdrawn." said Cieorge
A. Taylor, president of the t'alc.^o Morttj-'e Bankers' association, "there
would be approximately sixt- -n billion dollar-. aside from Liberty bonds,
amenable to taxation. This, at the normal income tax rate, would yield
nearly a billion dollars annually, r '.ie-. the people of a huge tax bur
den. ;ind divert amazingly large sums iron nonproductive to productive
uses."
I'nless this tax exemption privilege is curtailed, increasingly large

I>R. I-. S. KELLER, .11'ST BACK FROM TRII* THRC INTKRIOR, IS
VERY OPTDIISTIC AS TO OVTLOOK IV MINING 1NMSTRY. POX
RANCHING IS ON A S1M.EMH1) RKITIVd, A\l» TOI KIST TRADE
IS (JETTING BETTER EVERY YEAR.
Dr. L. S. Keller returned on
Thursday's (rain from an extended
trip into Yukon and Northern Brit
ish Columbia.
During his visit In Atlin, Dr. Kel
ler hud the opportunity of visiting
almost all of the creeks where ac
tive mining was being pursued and
found that the Atlin district was
still producing its normal amount
of gold. The work now is being
done more by individual miners, al
tho there are several big hydraulic
plants lti operation.
The Ruby Creek Placer Mine is
taking out big values and their work
goes steadily on. One large nuu
net weighing but an half ounce less
than forty ounces was picked up
while Dr. Keller was in the camp.
This huge piece of gold was about
the size of a man's hand and had
been twice struck with a pick bo
fore it was discovered.
Henry Maluin on Otter creek is
also taking out good values in his
hydraulic plant and next year will
he entirely on bedrock, when they i
look for big returns.
The Tierce plant on Birch creek
is operating at nominal strength
but still turns out the yellow met
al in good amount and the Wright
creek operators closed down after
a season of development work with
the best of prospects for next year
This creek has been noted for its
large nuggets and has been a pro
ducer since '9S.
On Boulder creek Superintendent
Gore is working his crew of men to
the utmost and two good cleanups
have ben made and others will be
had before the season closes. This
company has big holdings, with
ground enough for a number of
years' work.
But old Sprure creek is the head
stone of the corner still and resem
bles a busy bee hive with the nu
merous tunnels, open cuts and
drives, and the active miners shov
elling in. drifting and bydratilicking
in creek and hillside.

never fails, and from Isaac Mat
thews. the biggest miner, down to
the one man who is working tailing,
all make pood money.
Several plants this year are work
ing tailings and one outfit took out
over twenty thousand dollars in six
weeks, sluicing with only five or six
men on the payroll.
The boat that Dr. Keller came
out on brought out a number, of con
signments of gold dust ranging
from fifty to several hundred ounce-:
each.
There was great disappointment
in Atlin district when the Bradley I
engineers stopped work on Fourth!
of July creek, but a better feeling]
is now prevalent as it has been J
learned that the Fourth of July
group controlled by J. M. Runner!
was not turned down on account!
of not carrying the values, as it is
definitely known that the prospect-'
ing done this year more than con-'
firmed the assays that had been tak
en out before. .Mr. Ruffner says that
he will continue operations and next
year will see more activity than
ever on that group.
The litigation over the Engineer
mine is now being tried out in Vic
toria and the hope is expressed that
this will settle the case and that
the owners will be able to start
work 011 the rich and extensive
property, as that will mean the
opening up of other valuable mines
in the same vicinity.
The tourist season in Atlin was
one of the largest ever and this
beautiful northern resort bids fair
to become one of the most popular
and well patronized points in the
north.
The Atlin Inn did a big business
and all see ned to enjoy their visit
there and many stopped over for a
week or more and many declared
their intentions of coming again
wiih more time at their disposal.
Mr. and Mrs. William Garret make
ideal hosts and spared no pains to
entertain their guests. Music and
dancing every night and lectures by
that vet"ran artist and nature lov
er. l'rofessor Reed, helped to keep
the tourists interested.
The trip around the lake in the
fast and commodious Tarahne is one
of the finest in the world and is so
considered by all who take it. The
weather was not of the best this
year but there was plenty of sun
shine and the auto trips were well
patronized, as well as the fishing
fleet, and the fishers hardly ever
came back without a good catch.
The merchants in Atlin do a good
business, for while there are less
people there now there are less
stores and so things are regulated.
The government liquor store open
ed on the sixth of September with
John Williams as vendor and the
people seem 10 think that the right
man has been appointed, who will
administer his trust according to
the laws of both province and hu
manity.
nr. Keller stopped at Carcross tor
a time and found that the people
over there are looking for big
things next year. The Wheat on riv
er mineral outlook ts good and a
good deal of prospecting and devel
opment work is being done.
Parties are at work on Windy
Arm near the Venus mine and it is
said are finding best of indications.
The tourist trade in Carcross was
big this year and the Gideons, of
the Caribou hotel, have enlarged
their capacity by purchasing the
Scott hotel, having papered, painted
and furnished this historic old
place until it looks and is a modern
hostelry and now mine host Gideon
can accommodate any train load of
tourists who are lucky enough to
get there.
The fox ranches of the district
hav» had splendid returns this
year and this industry bids fair to
assume enormous pronortirrs in the
future. W. Ti. vonroy of Atlin has
a very large ranch, with almost one
hundred choice foxes, and his place
was visiied by hundreds this year.
In Carcross Matthew Watson. Leo
Simmons. S. L. Chambers and Eli
Proulx have big fox farms, which
are all of Interest to the tourists
and all of these men make efforts
to enteraiti them and show them
their stocks.
