CANADIAN GAMP
IS PROSPEROUS
Two Creeks on Upper Yukon May
be Big Producers This
8eason
Stephen Movers, a resident of
the northland for the past 13
years, having prospccted from
Copper River to Dawson, and
from Nome to Forty-mile, has
sold his interest at Carmack,
where for the past few years he
has conducted a roadhouse.
In speaking of the outlook fori
that district, Mr. Meyers display
ed several fine large nuggets,
which were taken from Discovery
Pup on Nansen creek by McDate,
AVebher Bros, and Mack Bros. In
a small clean up from some
some prospecting done this
spring $300 was washed out from
the dirt.
McClain and Wilson picked up
a 1-2 oz. nugget on No. 2 above
while Miller and Shaw brought
into Carmack $100 worth of gold
which was the result of a few
days prospecting on I lie East
Fork of Nansen.
The Canadian government has
appropriated $2,000 for building
a road into the district, and Mil
ler and Shaw have suspended op
erations on their claim for the
present and are building I lie road.
All the ground of known value
has been slaked and much work
is under way for the coming sea
son.
Taylor and Drury, the While
horse mcrchanls, have bought
the earmark slore for Howilsonj
and Shaw, and I he new propric-j
tors will continue lo furnish lliei
supplies to the miners of that
tli&lrict. Tom Bee and William
Shaw will conduct Hie slore of
the new firm.
William Shaw is the pos|mas
ter and mining recorder a I Car
mack.
Mr. Meyers staled that the Nan
sen creek district is bound to be
a big producer next year, if not
this year, and will within a very
short time lake its placeamong
the foremost camps of the north.
The People and "Big Business."
Heads of I he great industriv
corporation^ of the country are
wvut to insist that I hey cannot
urderntand why the people should
be bosile lo Ihem. The Wall
Street Journal, which cannot be
cinsscd with the publications un
Iricndly to "Big Business," de
clares that the action of the big
operators in effecting an increase
of 40 to 80 cents a ton to the
small consumer on the strength
of a 25-cent increase to the min
ers, is just that kind of business
policy which breeds hostility to
wards corporations and makes
trouble for the business world.
The 25-cent advance, it was ex
pected would be taken out of the
consumer so long as the authra
cile industry, is a practical mo
nopoly, but to make that increase
to labor a means of soaking the
consumer for 50 to 100 per cent,
more, increase is an outrage
which the public is sure to re
sent, and the Wall Street Jour
nal, which is generally fair, re
cognizes the iniquity of thTs un
reasonable advance, and its con
sequences. It is such things as
Ibis which explain the much de
plored hostility of the people to
ward "Big Business." And that
hostility is not going to deleline
so long as such reasons exist.

BREEDING STOCK
TO BE SOLD OFF
Cattle for Breeding Purpos©8 to
be 8o1d at Kodlak Experi
mental Station
The U. S. experiment station at
Kodiak have some pure bred
Galloway cattle to sell for breod
iiifjr purposes to settlors of
Alaska at reasonable prices.
Owing to the shortage of pasture
at Kodiak and a lack of hay crop
since the region about the station
was covered with volcanic ashes,
it has been decided to sell a part
of the herd. These cattle repre
sent some of the best of the
breed and for the most part are
Alaska bred and born cattle. Good
young stock of breeding age will
sell for less than they can be
bought in the states and shipped
to Alaska. Five yearling bulls
are for sale at $50 f. o. b. Ko
diak. Yearling heifers for $75,
and two-year-olds and young
cows for $100 and up.
The government doe;; not pay
freight on any cattle sold, and
sells only for cash. Anyftody
wanting a start with a good
thrifty breed of cattle for Alas
ka can find no belter than these
at Kodiak. Settlers are invited
to conic and sec the herd and
choose Iheir cattle. Those who
can't come may write N. I). Snod
grass, Superintendent of Station,
at Kodiak, and send cash with or
der and the cattle will be shipped
by the next. boat.
