SOURDOUGH ADVISES MINERS
10 PASS UP SIBERIA GOLD
Arthur Marlott, who left Hydcr
last sprng on u snail stampede to
the suppos- d!y rich iilacer t'.pclriss
of '"ile.ia ilU was joined in Seattle
by Archie Myre, also a f^rinei1 li i
<ier resident, has experienced per
sonal epe-ence of the trui't f the
old idage that "distance end en-|
chantment," according to a letter
from him received in Ketchikan and
published in the Chronicle. A uum
W of other Hyder residents were 011
the point of accompanying him, out
backed out at the last moment, u:id
they will be particularly Interested
in the letter, which is in part as fol
lows:
As today affords me the time, I
thought I would write to let you
; known my whereabouts. I arrived
| hero July 22. aftoi having been on
. the road from Seattle since April
i 15. From the states I went to Jap
| an, to Hakodate where I remained |
I for some time until I caught a fish
ing boat for Siberia. It was a Jap
anese boat and took thirty days to I
I reach here. They landed us 1601
I miles from here, ^i::d Olaf Swenson.
I the Seattle trader, picked us up and |
| brought us to Obotsh.
! We celebrated thp Fourth of July I
in the ice about forty miles front
shore In the Okhotsh sea.
As to the country, 1 don't know
much about It yet, but I understand |
they have some gold. However, let
ters written from here about a year|
or more ago hv a man named Hoff
nfan were full of misinformation
He is responsible for a bunch of Am
ericans being here now. He is fish
ing himself and living with the na
tives. so that he has not been outl
making any of the easy money that
he wrote about.
There is poor encouragement fori
the prospector to prospect. We havj:
an agreement with the so-called
officials when we go out prospect
ing, and if we strike pay we give
them 15 per cent, or ten dollars a
month head tax. We must stake
the property in a Russian's name
and he will give us a lease on it
for one year. They also demand 10
per cent, duty on the outfit which
we brought Into the country. So
you see what chance we have.
There are thirty Americans hero.
Eighteen came this spring Includ
ing Whalen of Ketchikan. Those
who arrived a year ago are up
against it, broke and without clothes
enough. Some have nothing. I pre
sume I will be the same as soon as
my clothes and grub give out. Old
timers here think there will be a
change of governmant this fall and
hope that It will be better than the
present one.
The soviet here Is rather decent
to Americans so long as they d • t
mix in politics. The more I ffo
of them the better 1 like Old Glory,
that little p:ece of cotton wita tl.e
stars and stripes.
The Japs are the limit. They are
looking for every opportunity to
firow the hook into the Americans.
They fed us for seventeeu days
straight on rice, cooked in sea sail
water.
I have been greatly disappointed
on the whole trip. There Is nothing
'•ere to justify an; one coming un
less he just wants to look over the
country and get out. You can tell
anyone that It will cost him at least
Sl.fiOO to get here and get started
and then it is leading to nothing.
We have an American vice con
sul with us. He joined us at Hak
ndate. Japan. I was glad he was
along with us. He got a touch of
front er life. He Is leaving in a
few days for Vladivostock.
m:\v discovery of
RICH ORE IS POI ND
Bill MoGrew. foreman at the Al
aska Premier, brought down word
the middle of the week that a large
body of high-grade ore had been
found on' the property some distance
from the tunnels where development
has been carried on this summer,
and the report was verified Saturday
night by Superintendent Harry Tan
ner. who said that the new strike is
about 1,500 feet from the other
workings, this side of the big slide,
and considerably nearer to the wagon
road than the original camp. The
ore body at that time had beer;
stripped .across a distance of 40
feet, without exposing either wall,
and consists of silver and iron sul
phide typical of the belt In which
the Alaska Ptemier and a number
of ot'ier leading properties are locat
ed. The body is banded with pa.
nllel shoots of "shipping ore." 10
of which are thus far exposed, and
samples from these gave assay re
turns of 4.4S ounces In gold and 26.a
ounces in silver, a gold and silver
content of $110.50 per ton. The vein
filling between these high gra.le
shoots is of lower grade but an ex
cellent milling product, assaying
about |30 per ton.
RETIREMENTMENT DILL
Sergeant Major Hoss has just re
ceived a copy of the proposed twen
ty-five year retirement bill, which
is to be presented to the 67th. Con
gress, 2nd. Session, by Sergenat E.
A. Perry. U. S. Army Recruiting Ser
vice, according to the Chilkat Post.
This bill provides for a deduction
of oue percent of the pay of all en
listed men, and a retirement after
twenty-live years servic at $100 a
month regardless of grade; Sergeant
Perry has secured the permission of
tlie Adjutant General's office to cir
culate a petition throughout the Ar
my, and Sergeant Major Ross has
been appointed as representative in
charge of thi« worL at this post.
The petition sheet ready for sig
natures will he ready for distribu
tion within the next few days, and
it is believod that the post will turn
out as large a percentage as the Pa
Corps Area Is to
nama Canal Department. The total
for the Canal Zone and the First
Corps Area is to date 6,580 signers.
This bill will need the loyal sup
port of all enlisted men. as well as
officers and civilians. Sergeant Ma
jor Uoss has been authorized to ac
cept any voluntary contributions that
nif.y be made, retaining twenty per
rent, for publicity throughout Alas
ka. remitting the remainder for cur
rent expenses in the States.
This bill has no connection wtlh
the petition that was circulated in
this post some time ago, as this bill
is for the enlisifrd men a-d by the en
listed men, It is up to t tern to sup
port It.

ed on the auction block by the
Foucke Fur Company and Fur Mer

Backachels
Discouraging'
But Xot So Bad II You Know How
to Reach the Cause.
I
Nothing more discouraging than a
| constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when yon
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys and calls for prompt treat
ment. The best recommended rem
edy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Profit by
this nearby resident's experience:
H. J. Snow, 142i N. Howard St.,
Spokane, Wash., says: "I was hav
| ing a good bit of trouble with my
| kidneys. They becane awfully weak
and sharp pains caught me in my
back when I least expected them. I
was in miserable shape and it was al
most impossible for me to lift any
thing. Doan's Kidney Pills were rec
ommended to me and they cured me
of all this trouble." (Statement giv
en June 12th, 1917).
On June 3rd, 1920, Mr. Snow add
ed: "Tfie cure which I told about in
my statement of 1917 has been per
manent. I gladly recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get j
Doan's Kidneys Pills—the same that J
Mr. Snow had. FosterrMilburn Co.,]
