CONFIRMATION is WAN! Ml
^ ~ - * -
m' Anchorage, the terminus of the Alaskan central railroad from the
• oast to Fairbanks, is being mentioned iu the daily press as the scene of
| recent gold discoveries, said to have been made in the course of grading
!for the railroad. This is "a la mode de' Cobalt, i nd we hope it will prove
,.s important as the discoveries that led to the widespread development of
J Ontario. IVe would be delighted to haxe these reports confirmed, for the
J > pening of a nevr goldfield in Alaska would be the best possible thing for
' mining at this time. Meanwhile «e are* skeptical, because the accounts
I look verisimilitude. The latest "Associated Press" dispatch says that
i "many strikes have been made in the rock-cuts blasted out of the pre
• cipltous walls of the Turnagain Arm division of the L'nited States rail
. way between Seward and Anchorage." It is asserted that "values ranging
around $2S per ton were found in veins twenty odd feet in width." This
Is Journalese in place of the simple statement that an assay of $25 had
been obtained on a sample taken from lode-matter 20 feet wide. As one
swallow does not make a summer, so one good assay does not turn rock J
Into "ore." Again, it is stated that "while some veins show free gold. I
the major portion of them indicate what is known as cyaniding ores, ne
cessitating concentration." It would be well if the "Associated Press"
selected at its representative in a mining region somebody who knows
something about mining and milling: who knew, for example, the differ
ence between cyanidation and concentration, between magnetic and ma
ginatic. between! cyanite and syenite, between ;iiaskite and holdmetite.—

LATEST STY1.ES IN' FEMALE E.XUS
Here is the latest in female decorations, according to a letter a lady
writes from San Francisco to a friend in Valdez
"The styles are changing very rapidly these days and one has almost
to stay awake nights to see what the latest is. Of course the wearing of
•ox rolled below the knees has been the fad fur some time, and women
are not wearing corsets: hut now the girls wear t'.ose little beauty marks
on their knees; also eyelashes which are glued on. and eyebrows which
are quite broad, also glued on Then for actresses and stage folk in gen
eral there is an invention of thin rubber which can be stretched over the
face to eradicate all wrinkles and make us old people look young. Then
they have ear muffs which are kept continually in curl to pin on either
side of the head, saving one's own hair and living the impression of be
-
r>>uge and lip sticks, one is made up for the street—that is from the neck
up and from the knees down—the rest of the costume does not matter
much, except, as 1 tell the girls, it is impossible to get a beau in San
Kran. isco now. withoat one has a fur coat. 1 am without a fur coat, un
fortunately. and have written to Hol> Cross to get some mink skins."—

"I will admit.'" he said, "that 1 have a mildly convivial disposition, and
1 would personally much rrefer to have the opportunity to take "a smile'
with a friend upon appropriate occasions, but when 1 recall the misery
which it was frequently my lot to persona 11; witness in the so-called good
old days, 1 am glad that Alaska is dry.
"At its most prosperous period. 1 knew of many instances of distress
in Juneau, practically all of which wer» due to the drink habit. The
worst If it was that the greatest sufferers were the little children, who.
In many instances, were deprived of ; roper food and clothing

In grateful recognition and abid

FROM lAlKRWKS
Guy F Cameron, offuial photogra
pher for the Yaldo* Commercial j
Club, who left here last month with ,
Guy B. Erwin and party, to take'
pictures of roadhouses and points
of interest 011 the Richardson road,
and to collect data for a advertising
pamphlet describing points of inter
est for hunters and tourists, return
ed home Monday with about one
hundred good views ar.d promises
of support from practically every
person Interviewed.
Mr. Cameron left Valdez August
31 and spent nine days on the trail
on his way in to Fairbanks, and
about six days returning. Lots of
fish and game were secured, as well
as pictures of moose, caribou, sheep
and game birds of all kinds. Mr.
Cameron declares that the trip is
one of the grandest, from the tour
ist viewpoint, ever taken, and says
as an evidence of the splendid fish
ing to be had. that while the party
were crossing on the ferry boat at
Munson's he dropped his line into
the water and caught five large
grayling in about five minutes. At
Ernestine S2 trout were caught by
the party in two hours, many times
two at once being caught
Wild game was in sight every
where and at Rapids 17 sheep were
seen in one drove and 37 in another.
Seventy-five grouse were shot from
the auto as the party drove along.
Lakes Of
The Far North
Oil seepages have fceer. found from
Southeasiern Alaska to the Arctic
and from the coast as far inland as
the Mackenzie river on the Canadian
side, but whether the formation In
this great extent of territory is of
a characier to incase large under
ground pools, such as cause the
gushers outride, remains yet to be
determined.
Word has been received of surface
lakes of oil on the Arctic slope from
the Chandlar. and in the Nome sec
tion. Many streams flow oil so thick
that they can almo.it be set on fire.
Indications of natural gas also are
numerous. Many permits have been
applied for during the present sea
son. hut, outside of efforts in a smail
way in the Katalla fields, no actual
drilling has been done in Alaska.
A number of geologists, represent
ing big oil companies and the gov
ernment, visited several of the dis
trict* to the westward this summei.
ai.tl their reports n-e sent-rall.v fa
vorable Among tli'M was Dr. Al

of petroleum somewhere in the val
ley. hut the depth of the structure
and the nature of the rocks must
lie determined before any positive
statement can he made. As will he
observed, the Kenai formation ex
tends a considerable distance up the
valley, and this is of recent origin
and therefore is not calculated to
encase large pools unless it is super
imposed upon a marine formation
carrjine the structure for oil pools.
From the evidence gathered it
would appear that the seepages have
come from some region either Just
below or in the Kenai. In places the
Kenai is very shallow, and in others
it is known to be some 2.000 feet
"Vpthrusts through this formation
hiive produced the coal, and it is
possible, while 1 will not say proba
ble. that a horizon below the coal
may he found to contain oil These
matters must he determined by the

creek district and in the valley, with
a view of gathering data on the oil
question, hut am called to Juneau
and may not he able to do anything
further here this summer."
and grayling and trout were to be
found in every stream
While in Fairbanks Mr. Cameron
stales that everyone he met was en
thusiastic over the proposition of
advertising ihe road, realizing the
advantages accruing hv a campaign
of publicity On every hand he was
tend. r->d financial assistance, not
one person opposing the plan. Road
hnuse n-.t-n along the trail subscrib
ed several hundred dollars, and
many of them took a whole page in
the pamphlet to be used in describ
ing (lit ir resorts to prospective tour
ists
A meeting of the Commercial clnb
was called at Fairbanks and the
members voted to endorse the pro
ject of boosting the Valdez-Fair
banks highway, and that as soon a?
the probable cost of getting out the
literature was estimated, the club
would assume its pro rata of the
cost. The Valdez chamber voted
S360 to finance the expenses of tak
ing the pictures and securing data,
and the proposition is rapidly as
suming shape
It is the intention of the protnot —
ers of the advertising campaign to
print a "C-page booklet, profusely
illustrated, giving the rates at the
different rondhouses. rates for
guides, pack animals, kinds of game
in the vicinity of place advertised,
and data of genera! interest to tour
ists and travelers.—Valde* Miner.
