Basket ®
Ball /
W-^-Nmes
The basketball game Saturday
night was too one sided to create a
great deal of excitement. The
Haines boys seemed to have lost
their "pep" and were easy victims
of the White Pass team.
A big crowd witnessed the game
and while it was fast and hardly
fought. the White Pass boys seem
ed to "have it on ihem" and made
basket after basket while the Haines
boys shot wide of tLe mark.
At the end of the game the score
stood 49 to 27 in favor of the local
team.
The Haines team are good sports
and went home declaring they will
come again and wrest victory from
the White Pass tetm. The Haines
boys are all good players and should
put up a better game than they did
Saturday night. A game will be ar
ranged fur in the near future.
MASONS' MEETING
A number of Haines and Fort
Seward Masons ca.ne up Saturday
evening to attend lodge at the V hite

rooms In Haines.
Most elaborate programs have
been gotten out and It is expected
that a large contingent from Skag
way will attend.
EAMJES' DANCE
A large crowd attended the dance
at Eagles' hall Saturday night and
enjoyed a most pleasant evening. At
midnight a supper was served by the
Eagles and danclrg continued un
til about two o'clock. The Peter
son waited for the Haines and Fort
Seward contingent.

the local office of that company.
Alaska's
We are running today a portion
of the advance statement given out
by the I". S. Geological Survey of
the department of the interior,
which has been sent to the press of
Alaska.
The statement will be continued
from issue to Issue as it is too long
for one insertion:
Ml lMacwst
Alaska placer mines produced
gold to a value of about $4,090,000
in 1921 and $3.S73.000 in 1920.
This increase is to be credited chief
ly to the Kuskokwim placer dis
tricts. At the cud of 1921 the Al
aska mines had produced a total of
$32S.0u0,000 worth of gold, of
which $222,000,000 came from plac
er mines.
A number of new finds of placer
gold were made during 1921, but
these were all in known fields of
auriferous alluvium. The most prom
ising of these discoveries Is on Wil
bur creek, a tributary of Tolovana
river, about 7 miles due east of Liv
n,Snod creek. The finding of coarse
tsj en this creek indicates that
' » jna}' be a second belt of min
he'. \tion in the Tolovana area. An
ra,U" 'vposit of p\acer gold was

bout $1,500,000 worth of gn'd lu
920 the same number of dredges
.rodured gold to the value of *1.
30,000. The total gold output ot
Uaska dredges sinie the besinnin6
if this form of mining in 190 3 Is
:23,000000. The icsrease in dredge
iold production in 1821 is to be
redited to the S dredges located
mtside of Seward peninsula—two
ach in the Fairbaaks and Iditarod
Listricts and one eavh in the Innoko,
Jircle. Yentna, and McGrath dis
ricts. The most successful dredge
u 1921 was on Candle creek, in the
IcGraUi district.
The average gold recovery by
iredgins in the YuKon and Kuskok
tini districts in 1820 was 96 cents
„ tlie cubic yard, while that of
seward peninsula was only 4S cents.
This difference alone will account
ior the search for dredging ground
leing directed largely to inland Al
4ska, where the richest dredging
[ilacers have been developed. The J
Kuskokwim basin has been especial- i
[y investigated for dredging placers

Admission. including war tax,—AdulU, lOf; children IE#
ication provided for inland Alaska
by the completion of the govern
ment railroad and the increase of
wagon roads will give further im
petus to dredge mining. Within the
cone of Its economic use the Nenar.a
-us 1 should also stimulate dredging.
Cold-water thawing, now being so
successfully used by many widely
distributed Alaska dredges, greatly
reduces fuel consumption and is
thus an Important element in eco
nomical operation. The Seward
peninsula dredges are now worfci' g
under the enormous handicap of tbe
high cost of fuel. \n 1921 the cost
af fuel at Nome was 135 a ton. and
that of coal delivered at the placer
mines was probably on an average
it least {SO a ton. In comparison
with this, many of rhe inland dredg
es are paying from IS to $15 a cord
Tor wood. No doubt an increase of
business and the completion of the
harbor for scows will lower tbe cost
of freight at Nome and. together
with the building if a wagon road,
will decrease the ccst of land trans
portation. Another project to low
er dredging costs on Seward penin
sula will, however, always be ham
pered by the fact that tbe first
steamers in summer do not arrive
until at least a month after the
dredging season op^ns Eventually
this situation will be somewhat re
lieved by an automobile road giving
communication with the govern
ment railroad. In spite of the pres
ent handicaps, dredge mining will
Increase on Seward peninsula. It Is
to be expected thit the advarces
will be made by large compares
operating many dredges, with pow
»r furnished by central stations run
by hydroelectric power or fuel. An
sxperienced operator estimates the
operating cost of dredging on Sew
»rd peninsula, with fold-water thaw
ng, as low as IS cents a yard, even
ander present adverse condition*,
rhere can be no question of a large
ixpansion of the present gold
iredging industry of Alaska.

The kidneys often cry tor help.
Not another organ in Uie whole
body more delicately constructed;
Not one more important to health.
The kidneys are the filter* of tie
blood.
When they fail tLe blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be na health where
there is paisoned blood.
Backache U one of the frequent
indications of kidnay trouble.
It la often the kidneys' cry for
help. Heed It.
Head what Doas't Kidney Pills
hare dose for overworked kidneys.
Proof of merit in the following
statement:
Z. H. Brott. Elgin. Ore., says: "I
had kidney complaint and suffered
from a dull backache and sharp
pains across my kidneys. Mornings.
I was lame and stiff and the action
of my kidneys was irregular, being
at timea too free. I read of Poan's
Kidney PUi« and nsed them. They
rid me of the backaches and put my
kidneys In good order. Three box
es of Dean's cured me."
