ALASKA TIN IS
FACTOR IN MINING
Mr. and Mrs. O. 11. McDonald,
who ar»5 operating the Huck creek
placer mines, west of Nome, have
{-'one I• • lh" northern camp by
way c»f the Yukon river.
Mr. McDonald is the superin
tendent of the York Dredging
company, who have leased the
placer tin claims, and last year
was the. first- season that the
placer tin had been actively
worked. .Ninety-1 wo tons of the
inclal. OS per cent pure, with a
valuation of $72,000, was the
yield of U8 <lays actual operat
ing lime of the dredge.
In taking in the gasoline
dredge, with which the ground is
worked, il was necessary to build
a road over the soft tundra, and
for that purpose the company
bought all the coal sacks which
could be obtained in the Nome
district, and, after spreading
them down on the soft earth, two
;md one-half- feet of sand and
gravel was hauled on, making a
road over which heavy hauling
could be accomplished.
The largest, nugget ever taken
out in tlie district, weighed forty
two pounds and last, year one
weighing 1- pounds was picked
up.
Mr. McDonald is very optimistic
over Ibis season's outlook, and he
states that he believes that they
will lake out. fully .$2100,000 worth i
of (in. This is the first, lime that
Mr. and Mr', McDonald have
made the trip via Skagway, but
they stated that it would not be
ihe last, as they found it much
more agreeable to make the trip
through the inside passage than
to run the risk of the dangers
incident to I lie open sea.

jury completed taking testimony
this morning and will make their
report to Ihe court, this evening.

Blend Flour Best
A straight hard wheat flour is peculiarly suited t >
ccrtain uses: but the housewife finds it hard to work.
<5 A straight soft wheat flour also has its good qualities.
Hut the professional baker, the man who makes his living
working every day with flour, has learned that a judicious
mixture of hard and soft wheats, gives best results.
CJ Aiming to produce a perfect all-purpose flour, the Fisher Flow
ing Mills have had the foregoing facts in mind.
•J I'tSHtTRS Bi.tN'T) Fi.our is not a haphazard combination of hard and
soft wheat. It is the result of careful experimentation covering a long
period, to ascertain the proper proportions of each to get the fullest
advantage of their particular qualities in the blend.
The two kinds of grain are ground separately, individual milling ma
chinery being required for each. Then they arc combined scientifically. In
this way, the full strength is saved
tj] For household purposes, blend flour will supersede ail ether %.*•••
