> m THE YUKON
Low Rates Given by White Pass
Has Stimulated Mining on
3outhern Yukon
\\*«»i-«l of a ilow mini? l<• be open
«•«! in southern Yukon comes from
\Yliitchorsc in the Star of August
2, which says:
Word was received here within
the past few days that Captain
John Irving, one of the principal
owners of the Arctic Chief mine,
one of the best copper properties
in the local belt, is perfecting ar
rangements whereby work will be
started on the mine in the near
future. There has been nothing
done on the Arctic Chief since
late in 1907, nearly five years ago.
But for several months before
that period a large crew was em
ployed there and several hundred
tons of ore was shipped, being
hauled from (he mine to the de
pot in Whilehorse in wagons. As
no money was lost in operating in
that small and primitive manner,
the owners of the properly realize
that, with the railroad spur prac
tically lapping the mine and at
the present low rales on ore
transportation given by the rail
road company, taken with the. Iiiph
priee «»f copper, it could now be
operated al great financial pro
fit.
ii is h'I'ith'ii i ii«i| ii. Minrr,
for a long I imp general manager
of I ho Conrad properties in I ti<*
Careross country, but now of Se
attle, will conic here to take full
charge of I ho operal ions proposed
to bo inaugural 0(| at I ho Arctic
Chief. Mr. Vance is a thorough
mining man, a good fellow, ami
his return to Southern Yukon
would ho hailed with delighl by his
many friends.
From present indications the
time is not far distant when two
or three ore trains will bo op
erated daily between this place
and Skagway.
The dance on Tuesday ni^lit.
given by the Arctic Brotherhood
promises to be well attended.
Forty bands played in unison at
(ion. Booth's funeral services. Wo
were of (ho opinion that (ten.
Booth devoted a lifetime lo doing
good and therefore see no reason
why bis filial rest should bo dis
turbed by discord. I

ttBOR SMRCE "
CLOSE SEASON
Fairbank Operators Find Labor
Scarce When There is Water
to Clean Up ft
Tlirre a marked shortage in
I lit? supply c»f labor on lower Dome
creek, according to I lie operators
below (own. Nearly every operat
or could use more men than are
available, and the opinion is ex
pressed by some of the better
posted men that fully 50 pick and
shovel laborers could be used to
advantage by the various plants in
this vicinity.
The plants are all rounding out
their work and are now in a po
sition to work bigger crews than
earlier in he season. On the Nig
gerhead there are three plants at
work; on the recorder there is one;
on the Shakespeare there is one,
and n the Alabama, at the mouth
of vault creek, there are two. ;
The cleanups made during the
past week are the best that have
been made on the claims this
reason. On the l'aulson.Iohnsun
and Fisher lays, the last cleanups
were the biggest of the summer,
while nil the Sands!roni lay. where
5i men are being employed at the
present time, the next cleanup will
Jte larger than any yd made.
One preliminary cleanup has j
been made on the Recorder claim.I
which is being worked by Klein
schmidt and Wallers. The llrst j
regular cleanup will be made dur-j
ing the present week.
There u plenty of waiter on nUi
of the claims, so that none of the
Operators are inconvenienced from!
that standpoint.

"Facts Are Facts."
Hi- a fuel thai Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
