The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just beoause
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring It be
fore the people and are confident
It will bring results. Try It.

CONTRACTORS ARE
MAKING TIME
Dato and Hogan Will Soon Finish
Long Tunnel on the
Mayfield
Air. M. Al. (loose has returned
from tlic Mayfield property ac
companied by Chris Peterson,
Alex. Nelson and John Francisco.
The three miners have Wen em
ployed by Date; and llogan, who
have the contract for driving the
tunnel on the property. The con
tract is for 300 feet of tunneling
and 238 feet of the work has been
finished. The long tunnel requires
considerable time to clear from
smoke after a round of shots are
fired and the contractors will fin
ish the work with the assistance
of two men.
Mr. Reese is pleased that his
earlier judgment of the property
is proving correct. He reports
that the ledge where penetrated
and crosscut by No. 2 tunnel
measures i5 feet. The ledge is
freo with about six ounces of
gangue on each wall. When the
miners drifted through the lodge
they began drifting to the east
on the ore and continued for 40
feet. During that space the ledge
narrowed to between six and sev
en feet but again widened to 10
feet before encountering the or«
shoot recently struck. The gangue
from the walls for the entire
length of the tunnel pans well
and I ho minors believe the whole
lodge carries good values. Ore
on the dump from the pay shoot
shows free, gold and is rich. They
believe the shoot is not I he same
as found in No. I tunnel and are
now drifting west on the ledge |o
pick il up. which they figure will
be about 30 feel west of the point
whore the tunnel tapped the
ledge.
Mr. Heese carefully sampled Ihe
ore and is having assays made.
He slates he will he satisfied if
the ore averages $10 p»-r ton or
better as there will he sufficient
ore lo keep a hallery -of Km
stamps grinding for years. The
miners who have heen employed
hy I he eonlraelors place the av
erage at a much higher figure,
as they have heen sampling from
I he gauge and ledge mailer daily
while driving the tunnel.
Nature has solved a problem
for I lie miners hy providing a
means wherehv the workings can
he kepi free from smoke or pas.
When No. I tunnel was driven
there was lillle seepage, Iml dur
ing I In* winter I he volume of wa
ter has increased and is now
sufficient when controlled to op
erate all I he fans required lo keep
a lug mine clear. The water has
a pressure behind il which may
be due to the fact that I he snow
is serving as a bank to hold the
water in the crevasses and- hol
lows which are drained off in
summer and usually frozen solid
al Ihis season of ihe year.

JUDGE WALKER
HAS 006 TEAM
Presented With Two Fine Ani
mals by Man Frohi the
Far North
When Judge Walker, U. S. dis
trict attorney, returned from'Sew
ard on the Northwestern last Sat
urday he brought a couple of fine
dogs which he values very much.
The animals are fine big fallows
and are the judge's constant com
panions when on the street.
The dogs had just complet
ed a journey of between 800 and
900 miles when they arrived in
Seward, but were in tine condi
tion. They were owned by a Mr.
Recth, a pioneer trader at Bel tie,
on the Kuskokwim. He had not
come direct, to Seward from his
home, but bad made numerous
side trips which accounts for the
distance. He had taken good care
of the dogs and they had served
him well. He did not wish to
lake any chance of the faithful
brutes falling into hands who
would not treat them right and
offered them to .ludpre Walker as
;i present. Mr. Ileelh refused to
accept any remuneration ami was
delighted to know that the ani
mals which had been his com
panions over the trackless snows
ami by the lonely camp tires had
found a good home. He followed
the animals off the boat to give
a gentle lug at their ears as a
good-bye.

The preacher explained llial
Jesus Christ had reached the

the common people at the lime
when he addressed the question
of the text to his disciples. The
twelve had just returned from
I heir first missionary tour tilled
with the glow of success. Their
master had taken them aside to a
quiet place, to hear their reports
and to more carefully instruct
them, lie inquired as to the pub
lic opinion of 'His mission. Some
considered He was one of the old
prophets and others thought He
was Klias. "Hut." said the Mas

It was of supreme importance
