ALASKA AUTOS
SEATTLE MADE
Unique Apparatus Which it is
Claimed Will Make Time on
Winter Trails
It is not generally known, but
there is a shop in an obscure part
of town with a full equipment
which is designing and turning
out automobiles especially for use
in Alaska. The machines are
unique and have been proved
practicable.
Another year should see Bish
op Ilowe and the rest of the army
of mushers joyfully hitting the
trail in a buzz wagon, for the end
of the dog days are at hand.
The Burch auto sleigh is equip
ped as to the front with runners;
as to the rear with a pair of huge
disc screws which take the place
of rear wheels and propelling de
vice.
The machine will be made in a
style suitable for towing freight
in sled«, and the inventor has an
other model which will be a speed
car and with which he intends to
oul-Taooma Tacoma on the froz
en speedways of I lie norlh.
The entire machine is interest
ing and is wholly Seal lie-made
and conceived.—P<»sl -Tnlellipren

TANANA BARS
GARRY GOLD
Paul Poison Says It's Possible to
Earn $4 a Day With Proper
Equipment
Fairbanks, Sept. 1 i.-Properly
equipped, one man could take out
$1 a day on the bars of the Tan
ana near the mouth of the Good
faster, said Paul Paulson, who ar
rived here last night.
The Tanana as far up as the
Nabesna river, together with tho
tributaries on both sides, shows
a little gold, flour gold, or /TV
might even be called gold-foam,
it is so fine. This floating gold
is deposited on some of the bars
but only on the surface, so that
when one digs down a short dis
tance he loses it.
Poison, together with C. George
Johanson, seeking the source of
this flour, gold, went up the Tan
ana and up the Volkmai.
At the mouth of Goodpaster
they found some small bars on
(which they tried rocking, although
without much success.
Poison and Johanson will con
tinue their prospecling as far as
the Tanana crossing.
At present Hie Tanana ^is ex
tremely high, being a raging tor
rent, with breakers two and three
feel high all the way from Mr
Carly's where the start.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
It i u fact that Valdez beer i.s a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink boer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
I own and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
