" My little girls had eczema on
their necks, faces, hands and shoul

and after a couple of weeks little
blisters formed. They could hardly
bear their clothes on, on account of
the itching and burning.
"I had them treated but the trouble
seemed to get worse. I saw an ad
vertisement for Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and bought them and all
signs of the eczema were gone. They
were healed." (Signed) Mrs. A. G.

NEW TRAIL BE WILT
Sl'RICE CREEK GLACIER
At a meeting of t'le Seward Cham I
ber of Commerce yesterday a con I
tract wag let to EHc Nelson to con-1
struct the trail from Seward to I
Spruce creek, a dis'iince of probably
three miles, 'or a consideration of
J500. the work to be started Immed
iately.
The suliS'Tiption list was started by
it donation by H. V. Hoben for $50.
other subscriptions being the Seward'
Hotel. {2T: Wayne Blue. $10> H. E
Ellsworth. $25: while other members
expressed their intention to subscribe
various amounts.
A committee consisting of H. E.
Ellsworth and Claude Mat'uson was
named to supervise the work and as
sist in raising funds for the enter
prise:
At a meeting' of the cit> council
last night, the Town subscribed $100
to be expended within its boundaries
It is apprehended that there will bp
no trouble in securing the remainder
i>f the fuud.
This trail will give imm<dlate ac-'
(•ess to one of the .largest live gla

the Ice park by an easy gradient. Af
ter reaching the lield, dogs and sleds

miles upon its surface, there being
no danger from crevasscs as in sur
rounding glaciers. It is believed this
will prove a great drawing card for '
tourists.

MOTH MILL
IS PffOJECIED
Having proven that two big ore
shoots are persistent and go to lndef
lnite depths, and blocked out two
areas of ore sulllclent In volume t'.nd
richness to justify, the Fern Gold
Mine company, a cloBe corporation,
controlled by Jerome Drumheller and
Martin Woldson. is ready to inslall a
mill on the property and begin tak
ing out bullion. This announcement
was made to the Times yesterday by
Messrs. Drumheller and Woldson,
who have just returned from Willow
creek, where they inspected the de
velopment work that has been in
progress some time. The property
located on Archangel and Falrangel
creeks, consists of seven claims and
development work to date consists of
a 575-foot ad.t tunnel thai has devel
oped 350 feet of backs on two ore
shoots, the first of which has been
developed laterally about 200 feet
and merages about six feet in width
and the second 170 feet along the
vein an average of six feet. About
five feet of both shoots is pronounc
ed high grade.
Another tunnel is being run to cut
shoots at greater depth, Indications
being that the shoots are persistent
and that deep mining will be in or
der.
Mr. Urumneiier was not prepareu
to Buy anything as to the capacity of
the mill to lie Installed, unci Its intro
duction to the property is contingent
upon the extension of roud improve
ments in the d rection of Falrnngel
and Archangel creeks.
One of tho crying needs of the
Willow creek district, think* Mos*rs.
Orumheller and Woldson, is roads.
Speaking of this pliase of develop
ment. in the great quartz camp. Mr.
Drumheller said:
"Every measure of support should
he accorded Colonel Steese mid the.
Alaska Road commission, wkicn. Is
doing everything in its power to ex
tend roads where they are needed.
The time when Willow creek will be
come one of the gieatest deep-mine
gold camps in America is based upon
the time when roads make possible
the taking of machinery and equip
ment for development. It Is no long
er a prospect camp—It is a deep-mine
district with values that warrant the
statement that it is another Cripple
Croek.
"We have developed with a view to
getting ore reserves before installing
milling facilities. This work has been
necessarily costly, owing to lack of
roads, we have paid $50 per ton for
coal delivered at the mine, and $60
per ton for supplies to be hauled In.
This is far beyond what it should be:
.11 fact with a roadway we could lay
our freight down at a cost not to ex
ceed $20 per ton.
"I realize what difficulties confront
tie Alaska Road commission and
what good work it Is doing In an ef
fort to assist the miners, but unless
i; is given -pecal funds w^th which to
build roads that will bring into im
mediate commercial possibility such
revenue-producing industries as
quartz-mining, the development of
the country will lag.
"With these conditions met there Is
no more ideal location for gold min
ing in America. Willow creek has
deep and persistent ore shoots and
being a free-milling camp is destined
to bring great properity to this em
mediate vicinity and have a tremen
dous effect upon gold quartz mining
In Alaska.
"I like the earnest manner In which
Colonel John B. Gotwals is laboring
to carry out the Alaska road program
as mapped out by Colonel Steese. and
if given a ftee hand they will soon
solve the many problems confronting
the miner.
"Every mining enterprise developed
means a demand for labor, supplies
of coal and eventually the industry
will exert its influence upon all lines
of endeavor In the railroad belt, es
pecially coal mining."
Mr. Drumheller. in addition to hav
1 ing valuable gold mining interests in
j Alaska, is associated in one of the
| largest coal mining enterprises in
' Alberta, the Drumheller coal fields,
1 which were opened and developed by
[ himself and associales. In entering
! the Willow creek district and meet
ing such signal success can .be seen
'the forerunner of capital for numer
I ous enterprises.

EXPERIENCE OF MISSIONARY
WHILE IN THE NORTH
\
Chicago, July.—Completing a
six thousand mile Journey from
Point Hope, Alaska, which consumed
three months and six days—Two
months and eight days ot which
were spent in "mushing" a thousand
miles Lehind a dog sled through
the snow. Rev. William A. Thomas,
Episcopal Missionary at Point Hope,
three hundred miles vorth ot the
Arctic Circle, brings a remarkable
story of a self-governing Esquimau:
community which has been success
fully carried on at Point Hope for
the past six years.
Under the tutelage of the mis
sionaries equal suffrage has been
established among the Tlgaras who
annually in town meeting elect from
among themselves the Omalil:, or
council of Leading Men, who, ,ln
turn enact the local lawB and see to
their enforcement among the thoc
sand natives who Inhabit the re
gion. This democracy of the frozen
north even has Its own prohibition
law, which was adopted three years
before the prohibition amendment
was adopted in the United States,
says Rev. Thomas.
This unique venture In Home Rule
was Inaugurated six years ago, after
the breakdown of the autocratic
rule of a tribal chief, and following
tie instruction in which has been
given the'younger generation of Es
quimaux through 31 years at the
Episcopal School at Point Hope, Rev.
"Originally the Omalik wbb com
posed of seven men," says Mr. Thom
as. "Hut it was found luter that five
was a better-number from the be-|
ginning of the experiment the rlghf
of sufVrage was given to men and
women ulikc, in the selection of the
council. Chrlstmc* was fixed as the
day of the election because on that
day all of !he tribesmen come into I
the settlement for feasting and mer
ry making, and we are able thereby
10 get the fullest expression of the
sentiment of the people. The names
are written 0:1 a blackboard, and
the five securing the greatest num
ber of votes are declared elected,
while that one of the five who re
ceives the greatest number of votes
becomes the chief councilman."
Kev. Thomas points out that the
Ksquimaux are a singularly orderly
mid law abiding people so that the
work of the Omalik is largely con
fined to the enactr.ient of routing
municipal regulations. He says:
"There are no police and no courts.
The missionary gives some quaint Il
lustrations of the manner In which
Esquimaux self-government works.
For example, the Omalik has a regu
lation against gossips. Any person,
main or female, found guilty of gos
s.pinjt. is called before the_ entire
community and publicly rebuked by
[he chief Omalik. All forms of ly
ing are frowned upon, but particu
larly among the young. A young
man caught lying to his parents is
to carry a certain amount of water |
for the public use: or, as an alter- (
native, to give a day's time to as
sist some aged couple iu cleaning up
their igloo or hut. A lad who stole
some tobacco was sentenced to clean
out his victim's dog house. Another
native who was guilty of a trifling
theft, was sentenced to accompany
one of the officials on a Jaunt of
419 miles to Point Barrow, walking
all the way behind a dog sled. He
was furnished his meals on the
Journey, and, of course, had hie rest
periods, but the penalty lay In being
compelled to give his services during
the trip In the management of the
dogtoam."

XEXAXA VOTERS IX FAVOR
OF ACQUIRING UTILITIES
The special election held in Ne
imna on Thursday tor the purpose
of ascertaining the views of voters
on the question of municipal own
ership of public utilities, resulted
in the expression of a very decisive
sentiment in favor of tlie propos
tion, only eight votes being cast
cgainnt the question at issue. T\ic
total number voting, however, indi
cated a lack of Interest 011 the part
of those entitled to vote, only S3
going to the polls to register their
preference. .
The result of the election will be
communicated to Col. Mears, immed
iately in order that no time may be
lost in formulating plans for the
acquisition and installation of a
power plant to be owned and oper
ated by the city. Col Mears ' has
already offered to provide such a
plant, set up and ready for opertaiou
for a small initial payment, the re
mainder of the cost to be paid an
nually in easy payments.
The members of the council will
endeavor to arrive at a definite
plan shortly, and the public will be
kept fully informed regarding the
progress made.
