$1,000 PER DAY
We Hope They Have as We Have
Better Ones Coming
Up
Tin* Alaska Citizen of Fair
hanks, of April 8, says that no
lonpcr will Fairbanks lak«' a hack
so a l when stories of the (311 IT
mine's I housand-dollar-a-day
output are being related, for Ihc
Cliff, in comparison with I lie
Hhoads' mine, is destined to lie
a haek number in the very near
future. The Rhoads mill clean
ed up $12,000 for a 12-day run
recently. II. says: "If tin; re
ports of tin; recent mill runs at
the mine are correct, and there
appears n\> reason to doubt their
autluMiti^I-y, although they can
not be officially confirmed, there
is every reason to believe that so
loop as the stamps are kept on
poundiiiK the output will amount
1$1,000 a day or better. This
means that (he output of the
camp will be increased, from this
one quartz mine alone, by better
than $350,000."
