Big Circulation.

Ihe news WhlCn We nave received from
the Noedmore Cold Mining Company, and
tho rise the stock has taken in tho last
few tlnys has raised even our most saguine
hopes far beyond what they were when
We received the first 1latt crirg report from
our expert whom we had sent out several
months ago to gather specimens and III ako
an analysis of the orc to be found in our
Needmoro Mines. Tho gold brought to
tho surface, being only u fow feet to go
down in tho ground has turned out tho
richest yet taken out OF any of the 9th or
mines in Alaska Our Mines lay right at
the head Of an elegant stream of water
called tho Midnight Dream and it is
nearly four miles wido Dnd over one
hundred and fifty miles in length.
So the Needmore mines will not suffer
from want of running stream OF water,
which in itself is one of the greatest re.
quircments in mining, that is to make tho
business pay. Our new electric lighting
apparatus. which il now In full working
order, has found TO be Of the greatest con-
veniunco and enables our miners to work
at greater advantage than any other mines
in tho Needmore district and gives US
greater facilities for removing our dirt day
and night The frozen ground is easily
thawed out and made easy for our miners
to work with the greatest of ease, although
the ground during the winter months is
frozen to II depth of 200 feet.
A temperature of seventy-1ivo degrees
below zero has been recorded in this dis
,riot, but tho newly discovered electric ap.
paratus has been the means of taking out
several hundred thousand dollars worth
OF gold up to tho present writing. Tho
electric light has prevented our miners
from becoming buggy, as lice arc one OF
the pests OF this rigid climate. The under

Chinese laundry ont here the difficulty has
been overcome and our miners are work

This Is pronounced the shortest and

we think the road ono OF the safest III tho
world not even excepting the Ponnsyl'

Still policy carried in our Got All You
Can Accident Company is the proper thing
and will help along tho Company so that
we can in tho near future erect ten story

as a glowing tribute to tho foresight of
Dcawarcans and other foolish people who
may venture over our Air limo route, The
Daily Iciclo edited by Arthur G. Davies,
has made its appearance and Is very
creditablo production and hasa large ana
growing circulation amongst the bona!ido
residents of Alaska. In fact it is already
claiming the largest circulation and has
so rated by Rowell's Printers Ink, which
settles it beyond dispute. Its advertising
patronage is amazing.

His Leading editorial on the "Big Freeze

He has u bright and frigiu future before

has made several factoring offers to Jim
McIvor but as yet failed to land him. He
wants jim to do tho society and poles
