ALASKA MINES
AND BUSINESS
When all of the work for the
year has been completed, it will be
found that the Alaska road com
mission has spent in the neigh bor
hood of $66,000 on the roada of
the Fourth division.
Dime creek, the new prospect
neap Nome, looks about the best of
any of the new country developed
in the past few years, aayia M. J
Weller, of Nome. He cays that
while the district has shown up
well, so far, it has not reached the
point where a stampede into the
country is likely.
The certainty of Tallroad con
nection with the Yukon basin, the
probability of an early develop
ment of the coal fields and a great
ly stimulated search for mineral de
posits in Alaska Jn 1916 were
touched upon at length in the Al
aska reDort of Dr. A. H. BrookB of
the United States Geological Sur
vey, recently made public.
W. W. Anderson, Pete And^reon
an*. i„ar» Andereon report the dis
covery by them of an exceedingly
promisln* ledge near Anderson
Falls, across the bay, or to be
more definite, near Ir®ne creek,
says the Seward Gateway. The
rock is believed to be good and
further testa are expected to
show that the find is of real Im
portance
The Herbert mine, at Seldovia,
is supplying: Seward with, Alaska
coal ai ?11 per ton. Coal from
the same mine has been on 8ale
for some time In Anchorage, and
the engineering commission has
used it in preference to Outside
coal, it is taken from a depth of
300 feti, and is free from all the
drawbacks of the coal mined near
er the surface.
The steamer Wilmington arrived
lu Cordova recently to enter and i
clear. The vessel brought a cargo j
Df railroad material including cars,
boilers, etc., from Panama for the j
government, which it delivered to j
the Alaska engineering commission
at Anchorage. The Wilmington will
leave 'or Tokeen, in Southeastern
Alaska, where a cargo of marble j
will be loaded for San Francisco.
After a Beason's work in tho
Zenana coal fields, W. II. Thorn
:>ays lie Relieves that a vast coal
Jleld of far greater extent than any
•Hie now realizes existB between the
Vlatanuska and Tanana rivers. Th.Or^
las completed a survey of 900
square miles of coal land, and Bays
ihafc his task has juat begun.
"The suggestion that Investigation
mlgh* shojv that coal fields extond
od all the way from the
well known discoveries in Matanus
ica through tho Nenaria and on to
Tanana was first. made by Dr.
Urcoks," Bald Thorn.
Due to tho efforts of Carl Hegg
strom and S. J. Nelson, Straight
creek is being demonstrated as a
gold producer, says the Ruby
Record-Citizen. They have a fifty
foot crosscut on their ground
which will run from ?1.50 to ?2 to
the toot. Midnight creek also may
be numbered among the rroducere
in the near future. This creek has
been Indifferently prospected In
the past but it remained for B.
J. Bowser to find the pay. "Billy"
bedrocked a shaft last week,, the
dirt from which will run about $4
♦o the foot. The extent of this Day
has not been determined. Eugene
Isrunnel will work with Bower, and
a winter dump will be takea out.

A. young man was Bitting In a bar
tier's shop looking nt a magazine when
«n old farmer, with little knowledge or
Appreciation of literary people, Btepped
lip behind his chair and looked over
Ms shoulder.
"Who's them?" he Inquired, pointing
to a group of portraits.
"Well known authors and play
wrights," was the reply.
"Humph!" ejaculated the farmer con
temptuously. "Jlst writln' fellers, eh?"
Then he caught sight of an author
with a long, solemn face, and his eyes
sparkled. "That's the one I like," he
said, with decision, putting his finger
en the writer's mournful countenance.
"Oh, yes; nearly ever}- one likes
Mm!" agreed the young man. "H1b
linmorous writings are"—
"Don't know nothing 'bout his writ
la', but I like his face."
"Why so?"
" 'Cause he's the only feller that
looks like he was sorry for what he'd

Th» Calavorc« Skull.
Of Interest In connection with tfif- i
tlary gold bearing river gravels of J
California is the story of the Caluvents
skull. For a time this skull attracted |
much attention not only from the peo- I
pie In Callfornio, but from scientific j
men the world over. It was reported j
to have been found In 1806 near the \
town of Angela, Calaveras county, at j
a depth of 130 feet. In tertiary grav- j
els underlying tertiary lava. The find- a
ing of a human skull embedded in such s
deposits was for a time believed to 8
indicate that man had been In exist- J
ence in North America longer than bad 8
been supposed. Strange to say, the j
skull Is of a higher type than skulls fi
which, although known to antedate his- *
toric times, are known also to be much ■
younger than the tertiary. Although j
Professor J. D. Whitney, theu state ;
geologist, accepted the skull as a bit j
of genuine scientific evidence, It is gen- ■
erally believed by students of the an
tiquity of man that, the Calaveras skull, j
while undoubtedly old. probably did [
not come from the auriferous gravels
at all.—Argonaut

DANGERS OF A i
COLD |
Vou Will Do Well to Meod Them I
Many bad cases of kidney trouble ]
result from a cold or chill. Con
gested kidneys fall behind in filter
ing the poison-laden blood, and
backache, headache, dizziness and
dl8ord«,ed kidney action follow.
Don't neglect a cold. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills at the first Bign of
kilney trouble. Here is an experi
ence told by one who has used
them.
H. W. Boetian, farmer, R. F. D.
No. 2, Box 168, Olympia, Wash.,
says: "I strained my back several
years oko and it has been weak
ever eiaca. Co'.dB always settle in
my kidneys, making the trouble
worse. The kidney secretions are
irregular In oassage at times, oblig
ing mo to get up at night. Doan's
Kidney Pills give me great relief.
Whene>er I have the slightest sign
of kidDey trouble, I take a few
doses of Doan's Kidney Pills and
they soon fix me up all right."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply csk for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Boetian had. Foster-Mil
