With Mr. Hopping and Melllnger
the trip is a new experience and
they are both greatly Impressed
with the country as they have seen

"You have a great country with
limitless possibilities for develop
ment," they said. "We have en
joyed every moment of our visit,
and especially the trip to William
Henry Bay, where we have witness
ed the initial operation of the con
centration plant of tile Alaska-Endl
cott mine. We feel that this proper
ty is destinad to play an important
part in the prosperity and develop
ment of Juenau and the vicinity,
and we expect to see a town of
several hundred people at William
Henry Bay In the near future.
Present Operations.
"We have completed the first unit
of our concentration plant, which
with the addition of a ball mill is
expected to give up a daily capa
city of 150 tonB. Nature has done
a great deal for this mine In the
way of giving It an exceptional lo
cation for economical operation. It
was very satisfactory to us to be
able to check up and verify the in
1 formation which we had received
in rogard to It.
"An ideal storage condition exists
at the site. We have secured our
titles from the Federal Power Com
mission covering the power of
Beardslee River and have developed
sufficient of it ta serve a mill of
300 tons dally capacity.
A dam less than 10 feet wide In

The area of the basin exceeds a
square mile.
"The pipe line is 4,000 feet long
from storage to mill. The stntlo
head is 42G feet. The power re
serve is sufficient to operate a 1000
horsepower plant.
"All of us went underground and
saw the ore being broken in the

London, Dec. 12.—M. VenizeloB,
•former Greek premier, who is just
now very much in the public eye
and is something of a mystery to
the British people, has an equally
mysterious young secretory, a tall
dark youth named Andrea Constan
tino Mici:elopoulos.
He was an undergraduate at
Ariel College, Oxford, until a few
monthes ago, always li.imaculately
dressed and a brilliant scholar. His
studies, however, did not prevent
his participations In politics, and
he frequently obtained permission to
spend a night away from college
ostensibly on domestic affairs. It
has since transpired, however, that
such trips Included flying to Paris
by airplane and returning the fol
lowing day.
Michelopoulos left Oxford a few
weeks before the Tinocoup, but ar
rived in Greece only in time to es
cape on board Venizelob' private
■yacht. Before coming to Oxford
he had been Civil Governor of
Lemnos, Prefect of Eastern Mace

Nellie Cashman Her« to Raise Money

PROSPECTOR AND MIXER
Has Reputation As Successful Busi
ness Woman of 1lie North. Fol"
lowed Mining Camps For Post 50
Years—Call of Mio Wild Keeps
Her Going.
Nellie Cashman, supervotnan of
Alaska, is in Seatt'e to raise money
to develop mining properties on No
lan creek, In the Koyukuk section.
She has raised part of the money
in the interior of Alaska.
Nellie Cashman is the oldest pio
neer in Alaska today having first
visited the Territory In 1875, near
ly half a century ago, and since that
date has been engaged in the mer
cantile and mining business in sev
eral of the more prominent Alas
kan camps, achieving a reputation
for successful business deals
Away back in the early seventies,
when Miss Cashman was consider
ably younger than sha Is at the pres
ent time, she was a resident of Vir
ginia City, made famous by its
mines and by Mark Twain. She went
to Victoria, and hearing that a
strike was on in the Ca»siar district,
and that about 150 men were down
with the scurvy, she, with a um
ber of companions, left Victoria
with supplies and medicines to suc
cor the distressed minora. The party
landed at what was then Ft. Wran
gell, Alaska, and worked their way
up to the Cassiar. Her mission be
ing accomplished, she returned to
Arizona, after remaining in the
Koyukuk for three years. In 1897
she returned to Alaska, going over
iho irail to Dawson, from Dawson
| removing to Fairbanks, where she
| engaged in the mercantile business
w.th a great success, financially.
After putting in several years in
the interior metropolis, Miss Cash
man located some valuable claims
on Nolan creek, in the Koyukuk dis
trict. The Koyukuk has been one of
the territory's heaviest gold produ-j
cers, averaging about $300,000 an
nually, and Nolan creek, where Miss
Cashman's claims ars located pro
ducing a like sum yearly. A shaft is
J being sunk on this property,, which I
: is called the Midnight Sun Mining!
I company, with Miss Cashman as j
! manager. The company has no of
ficers and no offices, but is being
conducted on business principles by
Miss Cashman who has had years
of experience at the mining game
So far, she has spent none of the
money received from stock sales,
saving every dollar accumulated to
develop the ground.
Miss Cashman is a thorough pros
pector and miner, having followed
the business In the largest camps
in the states, where she amassed
a considerable fortune before com
ing to Alaska. The call of the
wild is still strong within her breatst
and she would not trade Alaska as
a home for any country under the
sun.—Alaska Dispatch.

That drilling by the Standard and
Associated Oil Companies in the
Cold Bay field will be delayed
sometime and will probably not be
gin before June, next year, is the
opinion expressed by arrivals in Se
attle from Kanatak.
Transportation handicaps form
the principal cause lor delays en
countered by the oil interests. The
route to the field from Kanatak
leads directly over a high pass back
of Kanatak which greatly cntc down
the operating capacity of the trac
tors used in hauling freight'. Owing
to the steep grade over this pass,
each tractor Is limited to two tons
per load. The Standard Oil alone
has about 700 tons to be freighted
in to the claims and has but two
machines available for the work.
Both companies are now transpirt
ing their equipment and supplies lo
the scene of future drilling.
There is little question as to the
bringing in of producing wells in
the opinion of the oil engineers
un the ground. There is some talk

being established there by the
Standard Oil Company but nothing
definite could be learned about the
matter.

Kidney disease often advances so
rapidly that many a person is firmly
in its grasp before aware of its prog
ress. Prompt attention should be
given the slightest symptom of kid
ney disorder. If there is a dull pain
in the back, headaches, dizzy spells
or a tired, worn-out feeling, or If
th/j kidney secretioas are offensive,
iriegular and attended with pain,
procure a good kidney remedy at
on>:e.
Thousands recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills.
J. W. Holman, retired police judge,
Richmond Ave., Dayton, Washing

every time I caught a cold it set
tled in my kidneys and caused lame
back. At times when I had an at
tack I could hardly get out of a
chair because of the severe pains in
the small of my back. The kidney
secretions passed too often and caus
ed me to get up nights. I suffered
from pains in the back of my head,
too. Doan's Kidney Pills soon drove
the pain out of my back and made
