Now is
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merohant who
gets the money Is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try It.

TONS OF GOLD
MINED AT VALDEZ
Alaskan Mine Owners Bring News
of Development in the
District
l.'p al Yahley. bay, which i* in
Alaska as everybody knows, I he
lii^r hold-ribbed mountains arc be
ing tapped in real earnest and
whole galleon loads of I he bright,
shiny metal arc being lorn frfnn
their age-old resting place. Tliis
winlor many a new claim wad
slaked and big work has been done
on I lift slopes ami ledges.
Today there come here two
Alaskans wilh news of the mines.
\V. \V. Harvey and Lew McAl
lister, big •men both, own the Al
ire property located close In the
shore of Slionp bay, only t«*n
miles from Valde/. And there
where the blinding snows swirl
fathoms deep they have burrow
ed I heir way into the mountain
for 270 feel. (Sreal glittering
bodies of copper and gold ore
were cncotinl ered as I hey drilled
through the rock. The tunnel
passes through three rich pay
shoots. Ore is found all the way
from the month to the face al an
average width of 2 1-2 feel. In
the two claims the miners own,
the ore assays as high as i.OOO
to the ton and while that, of
course, is exceptional all the rock
is sprinkled thick with gold and
is pretty line looking slulf.
Nearby, the lichney properly is
being worked, and a large block
of good gold-copper ore has been
opened up. The Silver <5ein, con
sisting of two claims, adjoins the
Ilebney. They went ill i(>2 feel
and found ore for Hie full length.
It averages three feet and assays
about #15.00 to the Ion. Twelve
open cuts have been made on this
property.
The (jaiiHTon-JnlinsMn proper
Iy, Ihree rnilrs from Slump hay,
compri.'f'iur 17 claims, lias been
worked. 'I'll!•«*«» Icilm-s arc map
ped miiI, I wo of which have Immmi
stripped fMi- more than 2,0(10 feel.
The other ledge has been lorn
open for i,500 feel. Seven as
says .showing: values of $100 have
been made, and I he lowest is $15.
00 |o Ihe Ion.
They are going lo pnl in a
three-stamp Nissen mill on lhal
properly, and along ahonl Febru
ary 15 it will be on the ground.
Another and a larger stamp
mill will be installed on the May
fleld group. A thousand Ions of
Mre are ready on Ihe dump. Some
wonderful bodies of ore have been
disclosed there with 500 feet of
work. Nine open cuts have been
made on the Benee-MacDonald
property, which adjoins tin- May
Meld. The average assay on a
ledge varying froni four .lo 17
feel is $192 a ton.
With mines like these Alaska
will still be able lo keep her chili
in Ihe air,
There are more than these
(hough. The Cliff mine people
are working on $300 rock with 70
men. That, is a lease-hold mine
and Ihe owners spent $30,000 on
it. Now they are paying out 50
cents a share on a capital*slock
of $100,000 and lhal is mushing
/pretty swift even in Alaska. The
Vancouver-Valdez is working in
toward an ore shoot that looks
promising. The Ellis Imperial
located with Vancouver-Valdez
mine near the (JlilT property, i*
showing ore worth as much as
$ 1,200 a ton.
They haven't got all Ihe gold
in Alaska right on Valdez bay, but
they have a large share of il.
And Harvey and McAllister re
alize this fact. They have some
glowing descriptions of a gold
dislticl which is producing and
will continue to produce millions
upon millions of dollars.--Van
