RUMORS OP GOLI> FINDS
A 'smn.ll sized stampede Is on
at Lewis river, lying between Sun
itua auO Being-, rlvre3, led' there)
by reports cf a strike of placer
gold. The facts regarding the dis
covery are that Sam Wagner and
Chittick, both old timers in the j
Su&itna country, found a little pay
on Low is river, about a mile
above the point where a'small strike
was report-& two years ago. Wag-!
ner ii.irt CMttlck also say they j
found coarse 'gold on the stream
two miles above where they made
the recent find. Thy are working
with a rocker which yields tlieon
about 75 cents each the hour.
The country is a likely one for pros
pecting, although it is said there
are too many boulders • on Lewis
river for dredging.
Rumors have been afloat for
some days about a strike on Peters
creek, but diligent inquiry elicited
the fact that while some coarse
gold has been found, nothing that
can be called pay gravel has been
revealed as yet. '
Coarse colors have been found
ou Ship creek, but nothing of
importance has yet been discovered.

M» cse a-1 caribou are quite plenti

HKKItOX DOING THINGS IX
HOI'E-SLNIUSE COIN'TRV
Frpm the Cook Inlet Pioneer:
Charles E. Herron, the mining
man who is doing things over in I
the Hope-Sunrise country, h;us j
recently bought outright the Ho
bon-Davis, the 1 Sullivan-Cassidy |
and the Mrs. White placer claims j
on Gear creek. near Hope, and
has Installed a hydraulic plant
for the mining of the ground.
The equipment is such that it
can handle the 'ground at a mini
mum cost. Bear creek lias long
btei: known as a gold-bearing j
stream, • but it has never been
worked on the comprehensive j
scale that the gold ' deposits [
would seem to warrant. Under the]
vigorous, active management of Mr.
ilerron, it is easy to predict a suc
cepsful issue of the venture.
The Herron-Barnes dredge, op- j
era ting on Six-mile creek, near Sun
rise has proved a fine success and
i3 driving into the alluvial deposits
of that rich stream. '
Mr. Herron, as an aid to his min
ing enterprises in the Hope-Sunrise |
district, has recently purchased the
Matlilson store at Hope, a sawmill
plan* and the launch Brighton,
formerly employed on tho run be
tween VaJdez and Port Wells. His
activities have "brought new life to
that, section of the Kertai penin
sula, and the oidtimers are rejoic
ing at his advent on the scene.
SOME QUEER QUESTION'S
ARE ASKED BY TOURISTS
"Hvw do you pronounce Yaka
tifca? •
"Are there any high Bchools In
Alaska?"
"How high do muk-luks grow?"
Those aad 6,987 other questions
are asked daily by tourists and visi
tors -who call at the exhibit main
tained by the'Alaska bureau of the
chamber of commerce at Fourth
avenue and Seneca street. The
type of'questioning is indicative of
how little the people of the coun
try generally know about Alaska.
The number of questions show the
extent of their interest. 1
Those that ask are Boston School
teachers, Texas ranchers, Florida
fishermen and farmers from the
Middle West. ' All kinds, and all
classes display an, extraordinary in
terest In the country to the north.
An.? the questions range from geo
logy to cabbage and poetry to po
tato salad. '
One of the most popular features
of the Alaska exhibit is the dis
play of'lantern slides showing the
life and scenery of the Northland.
There are three shows a day,'begin
ning at 10 a. m., 1 p. m., and 3
p. m. As a result'of the calm, cold
facts disseminated at the exhibit,
thousands of tourists are becoming
familiar with the -real Alaska.—

WASHING FOR iiW.OO A YEAR
A resident of a small city in
New England paid a washer-woman
$1.50 each week to come to the
house and do the family washing.
Besides this, he was obliged to
furnish lier with a dinner no less
than 25 cents. This, with a lew
extras from time to time when tho
washing was unusually heavy,
amounted to nearly $100 a year.
When this washerwoman, moved
away, and he could not find an
other as good, 'he bought an el
ectric washing machine driven by a
tiny motor, which did the same
work even better at a total cost
of one cent an hour, four cents a
week, or less than 53 a year. The
little ' electric motor, attached to
the washing machine, was connected
to the electric light socket and
does both the washing and wring
nig. By eliminating the hand rub
bing jt also saved the clothes from
wear and tear. '
SHAUGHNESSY SEES
THINGS BRIGHTLY
Sir Thomas ShaugUnessy, presi
dent of the Canadian Pacific Rail
way company who has returned
from London, said that ho went to
England to discuss a plan for the
1 u'rchaso in Canada of as large a
portion as possible of British re
quirements in equipment and other
army supplies. • The purchasing or
ganizations of the Canadian Pacific
railroad will be largely used. Can
ada will receive as many orders as
she is able to turn out. Ho said
further:
"All things together, the out
look is bright. Britain is united.
The nation is becoming organized
for the war work, and the prospect
is exceedingly hopeful."
