CLAIM JUMPING
IS FASHIONABLE
A report from the Kenal river
states that oeveral claims havo been
relocated, or jumped, as the case may
be, very recently. Mining claims on
the big river are fast becoming a de
sirable property, due to at ldast Cwo
big deals which have been closed for
dredging ground. A German syndi
cate, which has been drilling on 'the
Towle group, has moved the drill to
the Schooner Bend group, adjoining,
on which It has also taken an option.
It is said that results obtained on
Towle ground are very satisfactory,
hence the desire for additional prop
erty.—Gateway.

AN OLDTIMER
TO SEE WORLD
After Spending Thirty Years in

the World
After more than thirty years spent j
i its a trader 011 the KuskoKwim, Mr.
Lind, of Kolmakofsky, has sold out
his stock and store to the Northern J
Commercial Company, who have ship-j
Ped in 250 tons of supplies for the!
convenlenceofminers and others in th
Aniak, Tuluksak and other lower
Kuskokwim camps.
Mr. Lind, who is a Finn by birth,
was one of the earliest white trad
ers to enter the service of the old
A. C. Co. on the Kuskokwlm, and was
engaged in the capacity of agent for
the company at Kolmakofsky when
the Ilevs. Hartmann and Weinland,
of the Moravian mission, established j
their first station at Bethel, in 188-1. J
At that time Mr. Lind proved him
self of great value to the newcomers,!
his knowledge of the Russian nnd the
native languages enabling him to act
as interpreter and guide to th»* mis
sionaries.
Mr. Lind who is familiarly known'
as "Old Man" Lind, is going outside,
and it not likely that he will return.
A shortage of experienced hard
rock miners is reported on Kenai

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts A re Facts."
IL i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not n (onic.
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 it? 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.
