WHAT IS TUK USE'.*
It bears all how soiuk peojilo can
be contrary. With soma there seem
to be no limit to their contrariness.
Erea If some people kick, it does
ao good. Not the least lit, at lais:
tils h-u been our experience. Never
Lbelew, it does a person good to
kick, when a perso.i has something
to kick about, like in this instance.
"Get it out of your system," it is
Bald, "and you'll feel better," That
is just what we intend to do. As
to the amount cf iood it will do.
la another matter.
Yesterday, telegraphir news told
uj that the Admire! Farragut, the
Jefferson and the Spokane had left
for the north. The start will bring
them here Friday—sometime. The
l*at boat passing here going south.
wa« the Jefferscn oa the 14th. The
laar boat passing hee, gciug uo;-th,
wag the Northwestern on the same
date. The Eva;>s t.io day before,
and thi« rest oi the fieei shortly
before 'hat. All within c day or
or two. Now, they are coming djok
again—all iu a bunch. Three left
Seattle the same day, just so—ap
parently—the people can be left
without a boat for six cr seven days
and Bometimes longer, as tho-ngh
the boats had to follow one another
instead of so m-ny days apart.
If the companies are after oue
another's business, it would seem
that they could find some other
way to annoy one another without
causing a grent deal of iticcn
Yenienop to their patrons. Not
wrty in the poor mail service they
are giving us. but th» businessmen
are suffering by such action, and
ahoulu another line of steamers en
ter the field of competition, these
▼try companies that are insisting
in serving us in "bunches," may
find 'hemselves shunnet'. by all.
To us it looks as thoujh they did
aot cave a Uoo' whether they
plea«e their vattons or not, so
long as they annoy one another.!
There are enough boa's cu the j
run throughout the winter that,
proTided the companies care, to j
makt it a boat every three days. If
Buch arrangement was made and
carried out, what a difference it
would make to the people who
furnish the business to the com
panies. But, and as a business
man raid yesterday; The time
ma- come when those companies
will haTe to do better than that If
they want some business; and they
will have only them elves to blame.

If German/ will do that as a war

bring on a land nominally supposed

1* LAC Ell MINES
ARM WORKING
From report* received from var
ic us small creeks oI tha district,
it apuearB that there will be quite
us much activity In placer mining
during the coming season as there
was last year. Already a number
of small outfits are taking out
dumps, while many other* are sink
ing .-halts, driving tunnels and do
iug other development work.
On Happy creek, John Fahy is
driving some tunnela. The outlook
for his spring operations Is fair
ly brlgnt. He has fair pay and
hopes that it will Boon J>e better,
accordluv to a late arrlral from
tha' vicinity.
Robinson and partners, on Happy
creek, axe reported to be In good
pay. A big dump is being taken
out. There are also one or two oth
er outfits on thJa cre>ek, all doing
a lit'le work.
On the Heee ground on St. Pat-'
rick creek, Frank Turner and
George Gardner are taking out a
dump. They are in good pay and
will h.-vv© a Bub«tantial return for
their wcrk in the spring.

HOME STAKE ORE
SHOWS IP RICH
Probably no ore e\or found In in
terior Alaska was its rich as that
taken out of the llomestake pro
perty- recently by Joe Henderson.
From about eleven t>ounds of ore
he extracted no less than $1,000,
which would indicate that the ore
was practically 45 oer cent gold.
For some time the ooerators on the
Homestako have struck spots in
the led <e in which the oro showed
extremtly high values. Henderson
&. O'Connor have been developing
the property for jnany months, and
it promises to develoo into one of
thtf best quartz propositions of the
Tanar.a valley.
The Hoinestake mine was staked
oa October 28, lyOS, by August
W. Balzinier (the Russian Kid )
I.ater others were interested in
the property, inclum- s A. J. Nor
dale and James H< mil, and a cor
poration was formed. Since 1S08
t'ae miuo has been developed slow
ly, but each year it shows uo
better than ever bt and indlca^
tions are that it w. . bo a valuable
property as soou as to. l can be
landed in. Fairba .k — Fairbanks

H:c&s creek.
These copper properties have now
become valuable, owing to the
construction of the government rail
road into that section. The ores
consist of glance, bornite and also
the lower grade sulphide ores
known to miuers as yellow copper.
Thsee properties are tributary to
Aacborage.
Mr. Bellows reports the Matanus

several outfits were met enroute to
the Nelchina placer country.

Marvellously Rich Copper Ore
Rercorts from the Bonanza cop
per min« at Kennecott are that rock
assaying 70 per cent copper Is be
ing t.aktn out dally In great leads.
The ore is that which slid down a
mountainside ahout a year ago,
lvATing the pure cooper exposed.
The slide has yielded ten times tho
amount of copper that underground
development hag produced, it is
said. It is estimated that it costs
the Oaggenheims about 5 centa a
pound to mine and Bhip its copper
ore from Kennecott.
