SAVE MONEY
this winter by saving fuel. Coal is expensive
in this country and the stove that gives the
most heat with the least amount of fuel is the
one you want. The
IXL
ESTATE
heater is the simplest and best regulated stove
on the market and burns 25 per cent less fuel
than any other—this means a saving of
Twenty-Five cents on every sack of coal at One
Dollar per.
Why burn up that extra two-bits?
We have four different sizes and extra parts.

FOUND It ON
OLD DIGGINGS
Creeks Abandoned In Early Days
Begnnlng to Produoe
Pay.
An ounce of Bold from a day's
work in shoveling in is what John
Lundquist has taken out on 18
of Nome creek, according to PauJj.
McGuire, who returned from the
Beaver River country, l-und
qust, with whom McCSuire and
Alex Chapman are interested, is
just gelinng squared around for
Work, the bedrock drain on this
properly being finally finished,
while I he dams are n place and
arc holding well.
The Beaver lliver country lia^
lu^l lots of water of late, but
despite the rains Lundquist has
al last gotten hi* dams to bold-"
ing under Hie strain of high
water.
"Two-Step Louis" Schmidt is
sluicing oil Hie benches of lower
Nome creek, the rains having al'~
forded him some water for I he
work, even though his ditch up
the creek is not completed. I.ouis
is taking out a little money.
Above "Two-Step," Charles
Schicck and Brocket* tare also in
the. money, 25 and 50-cent pans
being common in their cut. They
are working on the Nome benches
where they started a month ago.
At present I hey are just getting
groundsluiced down to the pay
and ready to shovel in.
Ophir creek, another tributary
of the Beaver, has not been giv
en its due this season, for de
spite the good ground known to
exist on the Al. Coslett lease, it
was only recently that two outfits
of foreigners took it under sub
lease and started after the pay;
Therefore Ophir will not produce
the money that it should this
year.
Parties coming over the trail
report that Webster's crew is do
ing good work on the govern
ment trail, getting it ready for
winter travel. All express sur
prise at. (lie way he grade over
the hill withstood Ihe heavy Sep
tember rains, doing practically
no damage
The heavy rains of the past
month and the consequent high
waters changed the mouth of
f.owe river very materially.
Now is
The
Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
ohant ever suooeeded by outting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merohant who
gets the money Is the one who
oreates a demand for his wares
through the advertising oolumns
of ths newspaper.
If you have somsthlng for sale
writs up an advertlssmsnt telling
Its merits. We will bring It be
fore ths psopls and are confident
It will bring results. Try It.
